Is the joke that the "mid-level" films are far more obscure than mid-level?

How come the IMDB scores manage to be so accurate for everything non-blockbuster, non-Marvel, non-Nolan, non-Pixar movies? There's barely any films below 7 which are good (a few yank ones but that's about it). I'm continually surprised by how accurate they are.

arthouse films are a phase, like reactionary politics and 'getting really into reading'. people with the palette for aesthetically pleasing foreign films among the least interesting group of fans on the internet. mindlessly racing through the filmographies of people like chris marker, straub, garrel etc.. thinking they understand even a 10th of it despite knowing little about fuckall. some of them capitulate and convince themselves 'well hey at least it's pretty to look at, and some of the dreary dialogue is relatable' but there's nothing relatable about it to them. they're the embodiment of the 'oh man he's just like me' meme. moreso than gosling 'horny and lonely' posters. arthouse connoisseurs are a plague to society. they are posers of the highest order. enjoy your bressons and your akermans while you can you neet faggots

seeing as imdb scores are just user submitted scores, i guess that those kind of films attract predominantly the people who know about films and appreciate films, so they are bound to rate them fairly 'accurately'

this. nothing in general against arthouse/outsider cinema but i feel like a lot of people just watch it for the sake of watching it and feeling better than plebs aka faking having a bourgeois cultural capital. i think that watching some marvel movie while thinking about stuff like narration or analyzing the fictitious world's rules is more "patrician" (to stay inside the dichotomical discourse of Yea Forums) than mindlessly gazing at s-h's landscapes and lowkey hoping it will end soon
