    Go back and start watching some 60s-80s exploitation films. Bunch of them are actually very enjoyable with interesting ideas and plots.

      That’s why I’m legit excited for some of the movies (many of them from A24) that are coming out. Actual plots, real characters. People who actually love making movies doing it again, instead of just suits

          Thanks! Would Pulp Fiction fit into that category?
