After rewatching a masterpiece, every other film feels pretty bad. Hate that feeing.

There's that no-budget kung fu film that I like to quote. The translation goes something like:

- I'll tear your heart out!
- That's OK cuz I've always been heartless, anyway!

Well, that may be a good point (the phrasing could be improved), but anyway, I think he leaves a hole in the fabric of the world.

Same. It really hurts that the fires probably had a lot to do with that

I feel nothing, but I haven't had a heart for some time now.

Tendencies that have clear, numerous exceptions are not fundamental differences. They're just tendencies.

And as I suggested, the "feel" that you're talking about is almost certainly just pattern recognition, very finely trained by consuming huge amounts of both things.

thank you for placing that period within the quote. my boss refuses to. and insists on double-spacing after each period. and he uses the space bar instead of tabbing indentations.

thank you for fighting the good fight.

But if you take a random YouTube video and a random film, the difference is obvious, even if you cannot articulate it, you can just feel it, and you don't need a sharp instinct either.
