The Fabelmans felt like a bit of a drag to me in terms of plot, but the last five minutes were the best ending scene I've seen in a movie in years. I don't normally remember movie dialogue but I can recall most of what David Lynch's character said to Sammy. Such memorable scripting, and I can't unsee the whole "horizon in the middle" thing.

Try watching them like you are a fly on the wall. You aren't feeling what the characters are feeling- you are observing the events.

And if you can't, or don't like doing it, that's fine! I have trouble understanding characters and getting into their heads. I don't really like watching character-driven movies. I felt awful about it and thought there was something wrong with me. But then I realized that art is subjective and there's no problem skipping character studies and watching plot and spectacle focused movies.

Oh no I didn't mean to tell them to GTFO or anything. I was telling them to post it there because here it's just a bunch movie people that don't know the technology.

During the dinner scene in A Clockwork Orange, the level of wine in Alex's glass varies from shot to shot, and it was claimed that this was intended to create a disorienting feeling. I think it's more likely that the insane perfectionist in Kubrick couldn't stand it when this flub was noticed and just had to provide a reasonable explanation.

That's just my thought on that movie, it might be true as far as The Shining goes.
