    a lot of people are idiots if they are looking for ‘answers’ in entertainment products.

    Yeah psshtt they can go to their mom to cry about “satisfying narratives” and “stories which make sense”.

    A car is a mode of transport. That’s why it doesn’t tell you shit, but you can use it yo travel. However movies aren’t modes of transportation, and instead are media for stories.

    Is this all honestly news to you? Have you hit your head? Want me to call an ambulance?

      sorry, do you think all stories must be a certain way? or subscribe to a certain structure?

      i mean, there are lots of different types of cars. a monster truck isn’t for travel, not is drag strip racer.

      No, I’m just not a twat who threatens people with violence with they have a different perspective. Do you want to go beat the crap out of Stanley Kubrick because he didn’t make the movie you wanted him to make? Does it offend you that thinks you don’t like or enjoy, exist?

        “A certain way” in much the same sense all cars need four+ wheels, a steering wheel and an accelerator and some breaks. If I get into the tiny details, having lights is also rather good.

        What you were saying is that it’s unreasonable to expect stories to be… well, stories. You know, with a beginning, middle and end?

        Unless you’re trying to tell me that two-wheeled chain driven transport with no steering wheel or motor is also “a car”, I think I’ve made my point.

          i’m not aware of any definition of story that requires it have those elements, or they be presented in that order.

          you have a very narrow definition of what a story is, and seem to think anything outside of that structure is bad or wrong.

          i mean you can define a car however you want. doesn’t mean other people have to drive such cars or agree with you. definitions change. is a semi truck a car? it has all those qualities. but i wouldn’t call it a car and i’d considerate to have zero overlap with operating a car, hence why operating trucks often requires a CBD and not a regular drivers license.

          I’m guessing you never took a college level film class? I took several. A lot of the movies we watched, and I’ve seen seen outside of class, don’t subscribe to your definition of story at all. I still very much enjoyed them and thought some of them were far superior to marvel movies.

            i’m not aware

            And that’s sort of the issue here.

            I too could argue that you have a way too narrow definition of a car and since my feet also take me places, they’re also a car. But it’d be fucking moronic to do that, just like your argument is utterly moronic.

            Cheerio

              so your argument is you are right because you are you and all that matters is your opinion on things?

              and auto-motive engineers, are wrong if they don’t agree with your layman definition of a car?

              Must be nice to be smarter than professionals who make movies and cars. Wish I as much of a genius as you clearly are.
