What is something you pretend to like?
While I can stream the majority of films I watch via the plethora of streaming services my wife and I subscribe to, I often borrow Blu-rays from the library. I add them to my library app whenever I see one advertised that I think looks worth my time. I get a text when they’re available for pickup, then I swing by after work. I must have added MIB International to the list mainly because of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. My thought must have been: I’ve already watched the first three Will Smith iterations, so I might as well indulge Chris Hemsworth. I certainly didn’t add it because of stellar ratings: 5.6/10 IMDb; 23% Rotten Tomatoes; 38% Metacritic. Perhaps the poor ratings led me to like MIB International more than the ratings would’ve predicted— the anchor was set for me to expect very little. Alas, the subtle humor, tolerable storyline, and deadpan voice of Kumail Nanjiani were enough to eclipse my low expectations. But maybe this is merely my rationalization to not hate the film. Makes me wonder how often I’ve pretended to like a movie simply to avoid conforming to the consensus opinion.
