pure cinema crave

I am in no rush
to rush into another poorly-planned
contrived high concept
action film

even if the director attached
is one of those big-namers, staunchly
acclaimed by darling critics

for all the refusals
to compromise that marked
previous films as uniquely
theirs, alienated and disgusted
the public's all-but-exhausted
patience, and further drove the chic divide

ever deeper between those
who disdain and belittle intellectuals,
and the intellectuals who disdain
and belittle them. I am just

so tired

of the argument. Give me

a movie ABOUT popcorn, or
ABOUT butts in seats. Like a Pixar
epic set "in a world" of butts
in seats. Or something yet
more pure

pure what, not sure,
but pure. Perhaps instead of
a children's movie, a movie

about
people who make a children's movie
and it turns them into children
and eats them
