I was under the impression that film is a legitimate hobby. It had been one for decades . And it evolves. Kinda like how collecting baseball cards evolved into collecting nft baseball or NBA highlights.



For example, I knew a woman that was crazy into black/white Alfred Hitchcock and Akira Kurosawa films. Would get into arguments with me about why stuff like 12 angry men was a cinematic masterpiece and could quote the actor's lines and new their real life bios til' death.



While that woman chose to keep her love of film static, others chose to evolve it. Film hobbyists went from collecting millimeter film reels, to collecting Lazer discs, to collecting DVD directors cuts. As crazy as it sounds, i think social media is the next stage in the original film hobby. Rather than collecting film reels from Billy Wilder clips, you now collect YouTube reels of sniperWolf. You quote her vids, and follow her real life bio just like in folks did for old school film.
To be fair, watching movies like that is an actual hobby because they’re breaking down the art of filmmaking and they’re taking the time to analyze it and probably are intuitively applying Bloom’s Taxonomy on the 4th and 5th levels where they’re discussing trade-offs.

I’m referring to people who instead of getting good at a video game by playing it against other players only watch videos now. Some don’t even build an expertise or anything on the games they’re watching, like getting into the tactics. They’re watching it like watching TV and not asking why a player may have chose x instead of y or z. They only watch things passively.
