When I’m high, things are often better: food tastes more delicious, music is more interesting and beautiful, nature is more splendid, jokes are funnier, friends are warmer. Except acting. Acting is worse. It’s like I see the bullshit more. This has seriously ruined some TV shows for me because I can’t go back. Does anyone else have this experience?

I would have to agree but that was before the pandemic lol. Since then I think we have lowered our standard of what we would watch. Vampire Robot Aliens… fine at least it has 10 seasons

100% mate! I have a hard time watching serious shows and movies while high because of this. It just seems so fake all of a sudden and once it starts, I cant unsee how crappy it all looks. I mostly just watch nonsense these days because i don’t really care about the acting skills while watching re-runs of The Big Bang Theory

Yeah, I tend to agree. What I noticed at some point is that most actors only have one or two ‘signature’ acts and do that in every movie no matter what genre.
A friend of mine ate some mushrooms and watched a Harry potter movie. She could see the whole movie set and asked if that was the bonus material with behind the scenes footage that was hilarious

Cinema as an industry has and will continue to cut corners in every way they possibly can. As technology advances people get lazier. Companies are ever increasingly cheap. Movies are no longer a long held golden idea that a director has and tries to turn into a masterpiece. They are the best possible combination of money making ideas jammed as dense as possible with the quickest turn around they can manage. If it’s a success, they go for round two, three, …etc. Milk the same idea until people get tired of it. Then dig up a successful franchise from a previous generation remake it again. And again. And again.

Any movie that has 15 executive producers is a piece of shit.
Seriously, watch for it.

Same here I get a feeling of ppl taking themselves too seriously in movies after I’ve had a smoke lol
Comedy. Like real, actual, “go to a comedy club” comedy.
I find trivial & stupid things to be much funnier on the marijuanas, but actual comedy I much prefer to watch mostly sober. Like, a “slight” buzz is fine but being stoned at a comedy show is kinda fucking boring 
lol

100% with you Franklin. I see right through shitty plot lines and acting when I’m high. Then I mention it to my wife and she’s like “god dammit, now I can’t enjoy the show cause now I SEE how shit it is!”
Then I feel bad.
I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut when I’m high and we watch tv.

People who take movies too seriously and look for “holes in plotlines” totally fail to realize the entire purpose of watching a movie:
BE ENTERTAINED
It’s not a gawddamn job interview or a “whoodunnit” contest. For gawds sake quit telling us why the “time heist” in Avengers Endgame was unrealistic 
. … sorry for yelling lol!

It’s been for a long time that I can’t watch most TV and movies, or listen to obnoxious music. If I’m at home, I like to be more relaxed. I do like to work in the garden, pack shares, go for a walk or to the gym, and I like to play chess.
