What would be considered adult entertainment? Sitting around doing nothing but drinking beer and watching the kardashians?

Probably. Even though the Kardashians are soooooooooooooo commercial...

I would bet on some existential french film with subtitles. Because you know, ART!!!!!!

No thanks, I would prefer watching some Pixar movies, or even some anime series than that.

No fun allowed, only mortgages, overpriced wine, and dry documentaries about economics. Casual enjoyment of animation is for plebs.

Exactly. People like me (and majority of population), who can watch ambitious movies, go back home and watch She-Ra and other guilty pleasure media just doesn't exist I guess. No fun allowed.

I listen to mostly indie music, but when I go partying and dancing you bet your ass I'll have fun with my friends to mainstream pop or even disco-polo (extremely shitty music from Poland but perfect to dance).

Especially about animation in general. Like, the animated watership down movie sure isn’t for children.
I suspect op is actually pretty young and still thinks adulthood is somber dinner parties, talk about school districts, and never enjoying anything not designed for a serious purpose. Never seen actual adults believe that, but often in older teens or barely-twenties.

That is the stuff that populates my nightmares!!!!

I honestly cannot think of anything more boring and pretentious than a person who holds that view. It' s ridicoulous. It' s the stuff that bleeding art types of actors/writers/directors vomit all the time, and I loathe that category of people. The kind that feels superior because they have such sophisticated tastes!!!!!!!! 🙄🙄🙄

And then they like movies like Wes Anderson' s stuff and "The Lighthouse".

man I love my Robert eggers movies but it’s not a sign of smarts or sophistication. They’re just nifty.

It’s such a weird pseudo-cultured view that anything not avant-garde Arthousey and overtly stating “look at these intellectuals who are quirky and oh so smart” is immature. Usually the competitively “well-read” ones.

I liked The VVitch (which, as you said, wasn' t smart or sophisticated but was intriguing and entertaining), but good God, The Lighthouse was ridicoulous and pretentious. I watched it because I thought it was a psychological thriller/horror and because lighthouses rock! What I got was two hours of farts and bodily fluids and a masculinity crisis that kicked off because the two men in the movie can' t stand jerking off and fucking mattresses instead of having sex with women. Of course in black and white with some mythological reference thrown in because that' s what real art is about!!!!!

I like weird movies, but this wasn' t weird, it was just dumb.

I absolutely agree with the rest: the worst are the ones who still pretend that they are being artists/mature while exploiting/supporting a commercial trend. Like everyone who made and liked "Joker": yes, it was based on a comic book character (kinda), but everyone who made it did it for art and not because super-heroes are the cinematic trend of the moment! And everyone who watched it is a sophisticated Renaissance Man, not a basement dweller who likes the MCU or The Justice League movie!!! No, sir!!!! 🙄

I always thought that I was being a shit by hating all of Wes Anderson's pretentious bullshitty stuff. Thank you for this, the world grew a bit brighter tonight.

LOL, nah, I am hating on them with you!!!! And I can assure you we are not alone.

I have seen at least half a dozen of his movies because I keep trying to understand what people find in them. Not only I haven' t found an answer, but I end up forgetting what the movie is about because they are so bland that I just forget them. The only one I remember is The Grand Budapest Hotel, and that' s because I watched it like a month ago. By november, I will have forgotten that as well.

No, drinking wine while watching historical documentaries or C-SPAN. Read only non-fiction literature or fictional literature that is dry and humorless(none of that childish Shakespeare nonsense).
