Talking About Movies 

Martin: What did you think of that movie? 

Joanna: It was okay, but I’m not really into big-budget movies with a lot of special effects and big-name stars. 

Martin: Oh, you’re a film snob¹. I bet you only watch indie films made on a shoestring² budget with low production values. 

Joanna: No, that’s not true. I just don’t like crowd-pleasers that are predictable. I like movies that stretch the imagination and have some artistic³ value. 

Martin: You mean you like those weird⁴ movies with no plot and a lot of strange characters. They’re artsy, but leave you totally confused. 

Joanna: I don’t mind some ambiguity⁵, if that’s what you mean. 

Martin: Well, I’m going to see the new Spiderboy movie next week. I don’t suppose you want to come? 

Joanna: Spiderboy? I’ve been looking forward to seeing that movie. 

Martin: But it’s a big-budget blockbuster. 

Joanna: I can’t watch artsy films all the time. Variety is the spice of life, don’t you think?
