Netflix already defeated piracy by producing endless mid “content” like The Grey Man that you can’t even be bothered to watch for free.
Petition to stop calling things that are 'trash' 'mid'. 'Mid' means middle. I would not be upset by watching something that's mid but I wouldn't be happy about it either. I take it that if you can't be bothered to watch it even for free, it's probably just 'trash'
Middling, which is medium. But I'd say The Grey meets that for its target audience.
Trash can be fun. It is so trash its fun, like sharknado or human centipede. But mid just means it is neither good enough nor trash enough to be fun.
Sharknado isn't fun. Being a bad movie on purpose is just cringeworthy. Bad movies are fun when they're a serious (delusional) effort that failed miserably.
Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Man if it's made well and some people like it, that's a mid.
I fucking loved Grey Man.
Haha, I was wondering about this - I enjoyed it, too. It was worth the time if only to see Chris Evans having so much fun playing a psychopath.
