What are your "red flags" that makes you decide to NOT watch a movie that stumbled upon your interest? I'll start with some obvious one (at least for me):
>black people on poster or marketing material
>old woman placed at the center of poster or marketing material
>no IMDb's Parental Guide
>IMDb's Parental Guide is present but reports anythign more than "none" in the Sex & Nudity section
>"from the producers of..."
>black or female director
>female writer(s)
>set in Japan or Africa
And you?
White men like it.
Anything made after 2007 is unwatchable trash. The only exceptions are some horror and historical media that is made by clueless nerds who just aren't political and manage to make something with an all white cast simply because they didn't think about race once when making it.

This. 2008 is about the cutoff point for me.

Shameless samegay
Do you work in a theater or something lol
What's with the butthurt
anything with Robin Williams, I'm glad he's dead.
He’s in hell now making demons cum.
I guess it wouldn’t be a red flag because it’s only when im already watching the movie, but once they start whining about patriarchy, le white people bad, yada yada, i always tune out
>bmwf
>anything to do with race relations made post 1950s
>euro refugee slop
>zoomercore
Trailer goes WOMMMMMM flashes a cut of the film, and then cuts to black, then another WOMMM and another clip and other flash to black. Clips of dialogue (off screen) begin as the WOMMMs become a remix of a popular song, then it peaks like sex and just kind of ends underwhelmingly with a release date
name 6 movies
Driving Miss Daisy, Flubber, Ghostbusters 2, Another 48 Hours, The Fighter, Thank You for Smoking.
Talking about stuff like this
I laugh when I go to the movies and people look at me like I'm a mad jackass. But no, they are the insane ones for getting hyped over this low effort slop

I just stay away from anything with a white female and non-white male relationship, or anything where there are as many or more female and/or non-white leads than white male leads, and lastly I stay from anything where all or the majority of antagonists are white males (unless all or the majority of protagonists are also white males). In general that rule has served me well.
If there is a woman in the film at all it’s almost certainly trash.
Only a few. Generally speaking:
Ugly women
Clear forced, inorganic diversity (like one of each race in the poster)
If I research the writer or director, them having colored hair, lots of tattoos, short hair on a woman
I don't inherently hate female directors because one of my favorite movies of all time was the Fred Rodgers movie and it was directed by a woman, there were no wokisms, and it was really fantastic, uplifting storytelling. But I am generally wary of female directors more than males.
So I take it you've never seen The Hurt Locker, Barbie or Training Day?
>The Hurt Locker, Barbie or Training Day?
never seen these movie, correct
Out of all the movies from Kathryn Bigelow's filmography why would you pick The Hurt Locker?
Anything after 2010. I will give any movie regardless of any autism a chance before then.
this, until a new renaissance happens and we get past this esg woke bullshit
Anything not animated or at least hybrid (Live-Action with little animated critters) I avoid. Frick 3D.
Scores are objectively true. If anything scores under 8 or 4 stars I don't watch it.
If it is made by a director whose work I have previously found terrible I will usually skip it. Ari Aster is #1 on that list right now. I also will skip most things that have Tom Hanks in them.
anything with gayshit
anything made after 2000, with very few exceptions. for true kino you need to explore backwards, not forwards.
Most of mine have already been covered but here's a couple I haven't seen:
big name actor on promo materials rest of cast is literally who. I assume the big name is in it for 5 mins and it's a money laundering film
go to imdb page for movie and there's more pictures of production or red carpet than the screencaps from the movie
If it has a sex scene.
>It's a film or series made after 2015
