heh, exactly the same things my brother has been saying. last time i met him i asked him doesn't it get tough for him not to blur his focus/perception between a dud film and a good one, especially when he's been sitting in a movie marathon all hung over and the movies are mostly in chinese or some other exotic language etc?

he said that yes it used to be hard in the start, but the more experienced/professional you get in the job you will eventually develop some sort of a filter in your brain that automatically separates quality from utter shit within the first 15 mins of a movie. and he sees a lot of shit movies btw.

it seems that the good ones are always rarer... which makes sense when you think of it.

dunno, but it never hurts to ask
