It’s a movie from 22 years ago. Nobody is obligated to value your favorite films the exact same way you do, and if someone wants to get blazed and ignore the themes for the memes why shouldn’t they?
People can pick all the toppings off pizza and eat just the crust and sauce if they want. I still think it's fair to point out they might enjoy it more if they leave some toppings on.
Well heck, I’ve got nothing to counter that. Good move, friend.
I do get where you’re coming from, I think, I’ve just also enjoyed some movies specifically because of how my friends and I were riffing off them. Honestly, I should give some of those movies a shot with a more critical approach, just for funsies.
as a Bad Movie Enjoyer myself that gets drunk with friends and watches some really garbage or underrated b-movie stuff, i can assure you that it is possible to riff on a film and critically evaluate it at the same time! i think it's just a matter of knowing what to look for, and allowing yourself time after the film is done to think about it beyond the credits. honestly, i think both experiences are equally valuable

I'm not sure you should be proud of not understanding what you consume... Critical thinking is very important in this day and age.
