Not a fan of indies here either. People tend to latch on to them because they think they're superieur when they say something like oh I don't go see those big blockbuster movies because it's so over the top. I just watch the indie movies because they're down to earth. Those kind of people is what pisses me off.
well, i *half* agree with this

i judge every film on its own merits; some indie films i love. but i think a lot of people like indie films by default, or give them more chance than they really deserve - simply so they can feel quirky and arty about themselves.
i'm pretty confident there's a whole bunch of people who love obscure foreign films, yet would turn their noses up at the same films if they happened to be high-budget + american, because they have a certain image of themselves, which involves liking obscure foreign films.
on the other hand, there's lots of people who ignore anything that doesn't cost a gazillion dollars, or star twenty a-list hollywood actors - and they're just as silly.
i think the trick is to enjoy the films you enjoy, and try not to get any grand ideas about your own tastes...
