I'm not "truly interested" in film. I'm not in it to be enlightened, just entertained. Trailers get me to see a movie I might like. Yup, they make them for me. I could sit through 20 movie previews before the regular movie comes on and mentally make notes of what movies I'll see and which I'll avoid, way before any critic types his review. Sometimes the previews are better than the feature, that day.
An urban critic liking or not liking a movie, is rarely a part of my criteria for seeing a movie. I sometimes use reviews to see what the movies are about (in more detail), not to get their opinion of them. But, I don't even do this, now, because the movies aren't on my radar screen.
I decide, "Hey, maybe I'll go to the movies, today." Then I look at the schedule to see what's playing when I want to go. Lately, I don't recognize any titles and none capture my interest. I don't go to the movies that day. If I ever see any of them, they're on TV (like HBO). Lately, I've been watching movies on HBO, Encore, IFC and Sundance that I've never heard of before.
They just fell off my radar screen because going to the movies perpetuated more going to the movies (for me).
