Recently Learned The Term "completionist" For People Who Watch Movies By Picking An Actor/director/screenwriter/etc.

recently learned the term "completionist" for people who watch movies by picking an actor/director/screenwriter/etc. and just go down the list and watch all their work. I think directorial completionists are the most primitive form of completionist. It's what you do when you are a new cinephile on the offender registry. you think it makes you really smart but what you don't know is that it locks you in the trap of auteur theory. which is for losers. the next step of completionism are actor completionists. these are good and noble perverts. they end up broadening their horizons because their only concern is that a movie have 1 guy in it. they'll sit through movies with zero reviews on letterboxd. they'll find shit the actors have no memory of. the greatest tier of completionist is screenwriter completionists. these people know Pulp Fiction was written by 2 guys.
