   Martin: What did you think of that movie?


 
  Joanna: It was okay, but I’m not really into big-budget movies with a lot of special effects and big-name stars.
 
  Martin: Oh, you’re a film snob 1. I bet you only watch indie films made on a shoestring 2 budget with low production values.
 
  Joanna: No, that’s not true. I just don’t like crowd-pleasers that are predictable. I like movies that stretch the imagination and have some artistic 3 value.
 
  Martin: You mean you like those weird 4 movies with no plot and a lot of strange characters. They’re artsy, but leave you totally confused.
 
  Joanna: I don’t mind some ambiguity 5, if that’s what you mean.
 
  Martin: Well, I’m going to see the new Spiderboy movie next week. I don’t suppose you want to come?
 
  Joanna: Spiderboy? I’ve been looking forward to seeing that movie.
 
  Martin: But it’s a big-budget blockbuster.
 
  Joanna: I can’t watch artsy films all the time. Variety is the spice of life, don’t you think?
