Are these the IMDB equivalent of fake, paid Amazon reviews? This is some gig economy thing where he gets paid 1 cent per hour to watch a movie and then write either a good or bad review (because he does like some), depending on which movie studio's PR firm is paying, and he has to prove he watched the whole thing by listing out things that happened from beginning to end? Like maybe he watches the first couple minutes ("This movie start out with 'Chris' talking on phone!") and then he skips forward ten minutes at a time and just writes down what seems to be happening? ("Overused explosion scene, overused person talking scene, overused list of names and occupations scrolling from the bottom to the top of the screen scene...")

Or is he just... appreciating cinema on a level I can never achieve?
