Edit: I’m not actually opposed to watching movies with directors cuts. Just realized I love watching ridiculously long video essays about movies, but almost never watch directors commentaries. Not sure why, probably availability.

Also I heightened the phrasing for comedic purposes ;)

    when I’m not sure if i want to watch a movie I watch those movie summaries to decide. It’s like the whole movie in 5 min

      That’s basically trailers now a days. I’ll watch a trailer of a movie to see what it’s about and then after I know too much about the story that I don’t want to sit through it

        Trailers are more like clickbait. Summaries actually replace seeing the movie if you don’t want to sit through it. (Titanic: the ship sinks).
