The endgame of spending a ton of time analyzing cinema (as someone who hangs out with a lot of film buffs) is that at some point the expectation of having to analyze a good movie burns thin, and you end up spending a prolonged period of time only watching bad movies that you know will be bad, because making fun of bad movies is A) a skill you've incidentally honed by paying a lot of attention to movies and B) a hell of lot less effort than paying an appropriate amount of attention to a good movie. Most of my friends got over that eventually.
