Someone once told me to just get baked and then watch movies, because I was doing something similar. I’d find one or two things in a movie and it would break my suspension of disbelief in such a way that I wouldn’t enjoy other aspects of it.

Unfortunately, being baked makes it worse 99% of the time. The only time it doesn’t make me pull the movie apart is for The Lord of the Rings, and when movies are legitimately done well. There is significant crossover there.

I love the process of how movies are made, from framing a shot to practical effects, to screenwriting. If I can spot the flaws as a fan rather than as a professional, the movie probably wasn’t made well.
