Sometimes I have to say it to myself. Like when watching Death Race.
Darn your sinister attraction!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I was just saying yesterday how happy I am to be working in an office where I can critique movies and not have to deal with "why can you just blindly like what you're told to?"

There's the reverse to Mott's Law, though, in that I don't want to analyze a movie (or TV show) and I resent Hubby when he insists on taking something I quite enjoyed and saying, "You know, it really wouldn't have worked that way, they should have done thus-and-so." I get a definite feeling of "OK, you have had your shallow enjoyment, now I need to show you how that movie wasn't all that and you're willfully turning off your brain to be getting so much pleasure out of it."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Showing up on a web site where a movie is being discussed and asking people to stop thinking about what they're talking about is an exercise in willful obstinacy.

I can pick a movie apart and still enjoy it. For instance: why didn't they just ride the eagles to Mount Doom?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For instance: why didn't they just ride the eagles to Mount Doom?
Yeah, that occurred to me too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
why didn't they just ride the eagles to Mount Doom?

Because then all the fanboys would have killed Mr. Jackson? That's a question for JRR, not Peter.

Wasn't there a cartoon or YouTube thing about that very question?
