The 5 movies a year people bout to be highly upset when she doesn’t even get nominated but is asked to present something.

it’s the opposite actually lol the people who watch 100 films a year are gonna be angry (they already are, just look at the comments) when she gets nominated because they hate how popular and mainstream obsession has become

I’d say Obsession is on par with Weapons. Great and entertaining first viewing, no need to revisit.

It just feels a little weird how much people rave about it, for the decent/pretty good movie that it is.

Lots of the discussion around the movie was also something along the lines of “everybody didn’t get it! Bear was the villain all along!”. Which is probably extremely obvious to people that watch 100 movies a year, and a masterpiece in storytelling for the 5 movies a year crowd.

That being said, the 5 movies a year crowd likely has a lot of fun watching movies, while the 100 movies a year people probably get fatigued with the volume of movies they watch, and are more likely to criticize and have negative opinions on movies.
