I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

    Horror films are where art flourishes and it has a huge culture of being outside of Hollywood which is just a plus. Also the acting is usually way better

    The original Star wars trilogy was overrated, the sequels were underrated, and I’d rate them all to be equally mediocre.

    I watched The Princess Bride and couldn’t understand why it gets so much love. I found it really gruesome and unfunny, and Robin Wright’s princess was bland and unlikable.

    Films where I don’t recognize a single actor among the whole crew are almost always better than ones where I’ve seen such and such actor in other movies. Just more immersive. And even if they’re not the best actors I’d much prefer that over whatever the hell Chris Prat or Tom Cruise or Leo D are up to.

        Tom Cruise has employees rewrite movies he’ll be in to make his part more, and more in his style.

        He has more acting range and ability than so many other actors

    Gonna try to phrase this an inflammatory way:

    People who like bad movies have been conditioned by consumerism to not appreciate art. They believe spectacle, humour, and a tight plot are ‘good enough’, and they don’t value thoughtfulness, novelty, beauty, or abrasiveness nearly enough. Film is more than a way to fill time and have fun. Film is more than an explosion, a laugh, and a happy ending.

    On an unrelated note: Mad Max: Fury Road is one of my favourite movies.

      It’s strange that you said that and then said you liked fury road. I thought fury road was the epitome of spectacle and production value with actual value.
