The compulsion to call things we don't like, boring.

moviemouth

Thanks. because I figured if you dissed what I said there, there was not much else I could do and if someone had trouble reading that, they have attention span issues (or lose interest really easily and tune out etc).

p.s. hell, I probably have a attention span issue to some degree myself as if someone is saying quite a bit to me in person for example... I probably am going to miss a good portion of what they say especially if it's something I am not already fairly familiar with etc. it's nothing against them, it's just what my mind does (like I would not be surprised if I am average at best in this regard as it seems like some people can say quite a bit to another person and they immediately pick it up). like I can't help it. sure, there could be occasions if they are talking about something I don't find that interesting, it's that much more likely ill tune out. but even if it's something I need to know if it's not something easy to pick up ill have to go on about it a bit etc. I am sure you get the gist ; I guess I could say tend to learn better more visually than through hearing. because even with text on a screen, if I don't get something initially I can always re-read it to pound it into my head.

blah blah blah, ill stop so it don't start approaching novel status on you. but I just figured I would mention that in the "p.s." section


Personally I think he's onto something based on my interpretation of it from his initial post.

like I mentioned in my initial post, ill try to keep this somewhat shorter...

it seems some are quick to label a movie 'boring' even if it's only somewhat uninteresting or dull (and the like wording) to them. like instead of having something like....

5/10 = average
4/10 = below average
3/10 = bad
2/10 = boring
(1/10 = greatly dislike)

...they seem to go from about average to boring with no in-between. which devalues the word 'boring' in general since it seems to be a bit to commonly used (this assumes my assumption is accurate in that they are people who go from 'average' to 'boring' without any real inbetween stuff etc).

that's basically what we got a issue with.
