What is Commentarium all about?

Few things are more fun than sitting down with your friends and talking about a movie or a TV show that you’ve just seen.

Whether it’s after going to the cinema in a group or getting together for a marathon series-watching session, there is an incredible joy in talking about the moving pictures that you just experienced. Sometimes you’ll become embroiled in complex intellectual discussions that analyze a film to its minutest details; other times you’ll turn the discussion into improv comedy, riffing off of each other’s jokes until only you can understand why you’re laughing so hard. Sometimes you’ll curse the critics for not recognizing a masterpiece; other times you’ll curse the critics for applauding a piece of garbage so bad it makes you want to rip out your brain.

And all of that, in essence, is what Commentarium is about. It’s us analyzing, joking, cursing and laughing about the art of the moving picture, on the big screen and the small.

Or as we said in the first post:

Commentarium is a website/blog for all those of you who, like us, are still enthusiastic about the moving image, who get excited about new movies, and don’t thoughtlessly buy into the bitching and hating that often follows the release of a hotly-anticipated movie. Commentarium is for those of you who enjoy thinking and talking and joking about movies.

Commentarium isn’t fashionably cynical. Commentarium doesn’t hate Hollywood. Commentarium has a sense of humor.

And that’s it. Read our articles for more!
