Hello it is I, Neonivek, you may know me as the guy who takes the smallest details in anything I play, watch, or use and ruin it for myself.
Yet I cannot be the only one who has ever found a small detail in something, unimportant or not, and was somehow unable to get beyond it. What are your movies, games, or anything where a single small detail seems to derail your enjoyment?
I'll go first: School of Rock
School of Rock is a movie about a guy who has his band break up. So he poses as a substitute teacher and uses his class as his new band.
I am not afraid to say I don't like Jack Black but his acting was fine here, he was mostly devoid of his common tendency to overact and mug. So this was one of the few Jack Black movies where I actually liked his performance. What killed this for me however was that fact that the movie sort of overlooks how outragously immoral, damaging, and inconvenient his action is. He is litterally stopping school for over a month to use children to make his own dreams come true. Something that means the children would have all needed to go to summer school and need re-education.
I would have been fine with it even slightly if the movie also recognised that... but no. Apperantly this act is supposed to be heroic because "He sees the potential in these children that their parents do not". Yeah I am soo sure the "Back up dancer" kids and the "Lights" kids have had such a fulfilling experience.
I could not enjoy it. It was glorifying something horrific.
