You know the main way that I differ from most people is the average person has a much higher tolerance for mediocrity than I do. You know if it were up to me the Star Wars Disney Sequels would never have been made or they would be completely different. If you walked into the theater and saw 'The Force Awakens and thought wow that was pretty good. At least as good as the original.' you're lost as creative spirit.

The funny thing is that art criticism trails the real time world. Today you'd have a hard time finding somebody who thought the Disney films were better than the George Lucas originals. But that's only because critics slowly dripped the truth to the masses over time. But most people don't realize things that quickly. It takes years and years for them to eventually realize something they thought was awesome actually sucked.

I had a friend who was a Dave Matthews superfan back in the day and he used to telling everybody he had seen Dave Matthews on concert 20 times. It took him about 10 years to realize that Dave Matthews actually sucked and now he never tells anyone about it. It just takes time. Some people never get it and some people need a long time to figure it out. But I've always been hypercritical and I can figure out whether a new movie is good or is ass like 100x faster than the average person. I never don't have a strong opinion right away.

Everyone thinks this. The art they enjoy is top quality, everyone else has poor taste.
