fascinating to me that the whole “don’t judge a book by its cover” mentality has really gone out of the window in terms of media consumption in recent years. meaning that the amount of mediocre or just plain bad content (books, movies, shows, etc) that get heaps and heaps of praise just because they look pretty (or in terms of movies/shows, have the right names attached) seems to have multiplied.

#in some ways it sort of feels like the golden age of hollywood in which more weight is given to the actors involved #than anything else #which isn't inherently a bad thing on a personal level like we all have actors that we like and support #but when the cast is ALWAYS your sole motivator behind creating/watching stuff then...idk! feels like you're deliberately missing out #anyway this isn't inspired by any specific thing just a trend i've noticed #also something that isn't always intentional and ik i've been guilty of it #see: not thinking last night in soho was THAT bad because of anya + it was a very pretty film #but in hindsight i was like. oh. good god there are so many flaws in that.
