Also, I'm not a film buff at all. I don't really have a taste for "Well-written characters." All I know is me seeing a movie and knowing whether I liked it or not. I can't get into any of the philosophical ramifications or the imagery or symbolism of the movie or allegories or the theme or tone or intent or any of the weird Jedi mind tricks the director is trying to pull off on me.

Now, I'm dead serious here. My English teacher says I'm an excellent writer, but I really don't even know what I do. I don't know what movies do either. I am not an innovator--a person who can interpret things out of bare nothing, or perceive something that may have been intentional or not. I have no feel for this. Perhaps I subconsciously do, but I have no conscious feeling for character or good writing or whatever. So chances are I won't really care about the characters, and I say that because I know myself. To be honest, it's kind of an anomaly that I like Godzilla--no, love Godzilla--as much as I do. I don't even really like the Godzilla films much, I haven't watched most of them. I guess I just find the monsters and their lore [kinda] interesting, their relations to one another and their designs and abilities. I'm not sure. I'm not even a fan of any type of lore whatsoever, I have a hard time remembering anything from anything. Maybe all of this is due to my failure to actually consume the media I believe I like--not watching Godzilla films, not getting too technically deep into Smash Bros., not really paying a ton of attention to the anime I watch (the extremely little amount I do watch, I have only seen like 10 complete anime series in my entire life)... maybe all the stuff I put work into really takes away from everything I would like to be part of. I'm more like a content producer and less of a content consumer. But I don't even know what this has to do with anything, I'm way off topic. I'll just shut up now..... Fair enough. I guess I'm just being a stick-in-the-mud by questioning the way you view media. Differin' strokes for differin' folks!
