Because I might be on board with that.
I'm actually encouraging you to watch things that you expect to be awful before you determine that they are. Giving people **** is just the gift you get for wasting your time.

I think I've just realized what is so appealing about all the -qatsi films - high on conceptualism, brilliantly minimalist scores, no characters, no dialog, no plot, no linearity... right there you have everything I desire from my entertainment.
You don't think that entertainment can fulfill a multitude of purposes? I think that restricting yourself to one lane in any medium is the exact opposite of mentally challenging yourself. While I'm not bent on you watching Buffy, I think you could benefit from at least becoming informed on things outside of your comfort zone.
