There you go.

Right on the nose - low standards of the general public is one of the problems. I have a similar problem with friends who love EVERY FREAKIN' MOVIE that comes out, and then they think I'm a hard-ass when I say a certain film sucked. (I can usually tell them in detail why it was bad.)

How can we turn this around? People are both very easy to please, and on top of that they have very low standards. They literally don't know what they don't know.

They are looking for the next shiny thing, or somewhere their friends deem "hip"....then it's on to something else.
