It depends.I am certainly more than capable of enjoying movies that lack certain components. Acting. Quality photography. Common sense.A film doesn't have to have any particular qualities to meet my standards other than one -- it must not be dull. Dull films I cannot stand, and I don't care how pretty they are or who's in them or anything -- I hate dull movies.But my friends are regularly poking fun at me for my low-brow tastes. And I don't hang out with especially high-brow types. I just like The Scorpion King.I said pretty much all I needed to say in the above post (and then some, said the audience) -- I just wanted to say very particularly that I am not (in my estimation) a film snob, not in the slightest cynical about films, and I enjoy most films I see.I do think Bryan Singer sucks. I also think Ang Lee doesn't know the first thing about fight scenes. I don't think that makes me a snob.I don't think people who have different opinions than I do are dummies. Which I think is kind of the definition of a snob.</blockquote>
