I'm into arty movies. I have no problem with silent movies--I've watched every silent Hitchcock and many classics. I didn't like the CBS Sunday Morning segment that I saw before the movie came out. I don't llike the coming attractions or DVD TV commercials. I don't like that apparently the dog barks. I don't like that something is said out loud at the end. I don't find her sleeve romance funny nor interesting.

Winning the best picture Academy Award made me feel my negative feelings for it were correct. Is there some reason I should watch this?

It's weird that there are no other threads already discussing "The Artist."

If you don't want to watch it, then don't watch it. No one's making you watch it.

Wrong! One of the DVD Talk members (I prefer not to name him for fear of retaliation) is at my door with the DVD and a gun right now Please help.

Dumbest thread ever...

It is absolutely worth watching. Those things you mentioned are handled absolutely perfectly.

I rarely see movies in theaters, less than 6 a year I'd say, and this was one I'm very glad to have seen in a theater.

I don't want to watch it either now that you've spoiled it

Dumbest post ever, and what's with the misuse of the ellipsis?

To each his own...I'm personally not interested in this film either but for those who want to see, so be it!

This.

The trailers and the promotion just didn't do anything for me. Maybe one day I'll end up watching it on cable or something, but I won't be going out of my way to see it.

Nobody should ever be this fucking bored.

I purchased The Artist yesterday and this stupid thread convinces me it will be enjoyable

I don't want to watch The Artist either, but if I started a thread for every movie I didn't want to watch....well. No need to finish that sentence.

Your instincts are correct. Trust them. There is absolutely no reason to see this movie--unless you're genuinely interested in seeing every Best Picture Oscar winner or exploring how the silent era is portrayed in contemporary cinema. But if you were that interested, you would already have seen the movie and would never have started this thread.

I loved it!

Alright, we're getting seriously invested here for some reason: are you going to watch the damn movie or not?
