There is definitely something. Nothing to pay attention to would be a silent black screen.
- crazygringo 9mo agoSure, technically speaking. And if I had great interest in the minutiae of set design, or if I were a score composer interested in the exact musical instrumentation, or a director studying suspenseful timing, then sure I'd be interested. But I'm not any of those things. I prefer to spend my time on things I'm actually interested in, rather than on things I'm not. If I can fast-forward the "not" part, it makes life better.
- pier25 9mo agoWell yeah but "there's nothing that interests me" vs "there's nothing to pay attention to" are very different statements. Also you don't really need to be a composer to be able to enjoy film music during a film.
