How expansive can we really get here?

Like how far does this really go?

Is everything a game?

No matter what environment that we're in, is it always a game?

Or is it possible to escape games?

How expansive can we really get here?

I feel like what's happening here is there's two different games trying to be played.

There's the critics game, which is people who watch movies in a particular way that the average member of society does not watch movies in that they're not playing the same game.

And like me guessing, hypothesizing why Ryan is trying to watch a movie.

He is trying to watch a movie so he can sit down, laugh at some stuff, you know, forget about life, forget about the internet and like have a good time for two hours.

and then resume life.

And I don't think he wants to watch a movie that is gritty.

There's a movie I was watching not too long ago called Mickey 17.

And I think a critic would love that movie because it was a good movie.

But part of that movie I was watching and I was just uncomfortable the whole time because the whole thing was just gritty and kind of difficult to watch, intentionally so.

So the movie did a good job
