You don't seem to be much of a cinephile. Which is fine. If you're looking for base entertainment, I suppose The Avengers is cool. I don't think you could pay me to watch any of the movies though.

If I need to explain to you, in fine detail, the reasons why I don't consider something like The Avengers, or smeared shit, art, then I cannot even imagine how this would be a conversation worth having.
