    If you do, I could recommend a spicy but really unconventional twist on it. A lot of shitty movies like this have Wikipedia plot summaries that are lacking, inaccurate in small ways, etc. Watching it for the sake of reviewing and possibly revising that summary is a kind of perverse joy that feels impossible to sell to someone who’s never tried.

    For example, I rewrote the summary for Whiteout (2009 film), and it was way more fun than just watching it straight. Noticing every stupid fucking detail and how hard it was to actually turn the bullshit plot into a coherent summary was enriching in a way that’s hard to describe.


    Edit: Also want to add that this 1000% applies to shitty game plot summaries too.

        Similar to representing an obviously guilty client in court.

        It’s so much fun becoming an expert on random, shitty movies where the stakes are so low. Maybe you need to be a certain type; I don’t know.
