Good movies can't be bad, but bad movies can be good.
Perhaps the whole paradigm is not framed the right way. "Good" and "Bad" might be insufficient terms.
Perhaps what is meant is a movie so pretentious and convinced it's good, that it's bad.
>Asteroid City
>Birdman
>anything by Nolan
That is probably the best meaning. There is also the phrase, "too much of a good thing." A movie could also be good on a technical level but it is excessive in its execution that it takes away rather than adds to its quality.
Indeed. Or be too smart for most of the audience to comprehend.
Every "good" movie that was recommended to me was bad so you're wrong.
Irreversible and Enter the Void. too brutal for me to watch and that was the intent
enter the void sucks. i dont want to watch psychedelic screensavers
according to Cinemaphile,
>oppenheimer
I just watched Interstellar and this actually describes how I feel about it pretty well
I literally came in the thread to say Interstellar. It plays every beat too well, it's sterile
>every beat too well
example?
oscar baits
did you anons notice them threatening kids and talking in code the same as in oppen
I didn't watch Oppen. Should I do that? I don't know from your post if I'm supposed to infer if it's something I should watch, to be informed about the cabal's movements, or something to avoid for its satanism.
I don't know what it means either but I watched them back to back, op first and then during interstellar I thought I was just making shit up but after enough of the same wording and threats it started to freak me out.
post scenes. I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about. The only kid in Oppenheimer is his baby son who is only in a few scenes
The Rifftrax version of Plan 9 From Outer Space.
American Beauty
This one. Kevin Spacey got an Oscar because he threw a dish at a wall and kissed a man. The movie got labeled as le deep and meaningful because a film buff recorded a plastic bag blowing in the wind.
>mom made nothing with nothing against
you just don't understand how much beauty there is in the world
no, it's just regular bad

>Cinemaphile listing movies that are so popular they feel the need to hate it slightly out of contrarianism
>this movie is popular ergo it cannot be criticized
That's middle school thinking, brainlet.
>homosexual who uses the word contrarian didn't even read the thread
>admonishing the use of contrarian by a contrarian who criticized contrarians, all in an effort to feel superior to a meta contrarian
>contrarianism
this really is a stupid concept no one should use
Knee jerk answer is Do The Right Thing
RedLetterMedia have made living watching these videos. Peruse through their Best of the Worst episodes.
Reread the OP.
Watership Down.
It is perhaps among the most brilliant movies ever made, but frick watching that again. A little kid went into that theater, but I'm not entire sure what came back out.

Old ass homie (im jealous we only get shit movies now)
Yeah I'm older than dirt. Shit, I still remember seeing Dragonslayer and Flash Gordon and tiddies (or the actual lack of them) meant sneaking into Flashdance.
Ever seen Plague Dogs?
I haven't, no. Sounds harrowing.
The Room
Where Eagles dare
I totally get ya but I can't bring myself to hate that movie when the score is god tier.
I'd agree with this post. It's actually a really great movie but the more I think about it, the more I hate it.
That said, I kind of want to rewatch it now.
Honestly 2001 a space odyssey or a clockwork orange but moreso 2001
I think A Clockwork Orange has enough glaring faults that it doesn't belong in this thread, 2001 objectively is perfect to the point of it being annoying.
>2001 objectively is perfect
It's not?
No, its just silly to make all the actors that much more robotic than the robot ship.
They're in space, the only way you can mentally handle that life is to become robotic.
No, I have seen some of Chris Hadfields (and other's) videos, they are far more childlike than robot like with their freaky space experiments and pulsing balls of free floating space water.
You're using real life examples of space travel in its infancy, totally different than the future Clarke dreamt up.
Yes, it far removed from reality which is why it is silly.
Is it pretentious or silly, pick one. Also the movie predates the moon landing, the level of predictive speculation is just as interesting and possible 50+ years later.
>Is it pretentious or silly, pick one.
Those two things are not mutually exclusive, though, but I specifically said silly
, never mentioned how pretentious it is.
>Also the movie predates the moon landing
Another reason it is less than perfect.
>the level of predictive speculation
It didn't predict anything, all of its mechanisms of space travel and space station physics were wrong and don't get applied in reality.
Madmax world didn't/hasn't happened that doesn't change the fact that it was predictive speculation. Also what future space world mechanisms were wrong? You know something about space stations of the future that humanity doesn't? Care to give us some hints?
>predictive speculation.
No, its just speculation unless it actually predicts something.
>space stations of the future
Space stations aren't some futuristic tech that can only be speculated about, they exist now, and none of them spin to create artificial gravity and none of them will because in reality, they would have to spin way too fast and it would only serve to disorient the inhabitants.
Look up how artificial gravity is made. Also speculation is speculation until its not dude lol
>Look up how artificial gravity is made.
No, you.
>speculation is speculation until its not
Which is why its merely speculation since it hasn't actually successfully predicted anything about space travel or space station construction.
>no, you
Hah OK fair enough, I just did. But still it seems like it isnt a matter of possibility, it's about practicality. There are concerns about health repercussions but who knows, haven't done it. Also I guess predictive speculation is a redundant phrase and we're both kind of stupid to keep going on about. BUT Arthur C Clarke did totally predict the internet and cellphones back in the 50s.

ARPANET was already in active development by 1964, he wasn't predicting things himself, he was repeating the sentiment of industry.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET
>The earliest ideas for a computer network intended to allow general communications among computer users were formulated by computer scientist J. C. R. Licklider of Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN), in April 1963, in memoranda discussing the concept of the "Intergalactic Computer Network". Those ideas encompassed many of the features of the contemporary Internet. In October 1963, Licklider was appointed head of the Behavioral Sciences and Command and Control programs at the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). He convinced Ivan Sutherland and Bob Taylor that this network concept was very important and merited development, although Licklider left ARPA before any contracts were assigned for development.
Profiles of the Future was published in 1962
Paul Baran developed the concept of distributed adaptive message block switching in the late 50s which went on to become packet switching networking in the early 60s.
>it isnt a matter of possibility, it's about practicality.
Sure just like getting rid of cars and shoving people up elephants asses with some fresh air tubes and a filtration system to move around town is possible, but not practical.
>predictive speculation is a redundant phrase
Its not, its speculation plus prediction, so its not only coming up with possible scenarios, but coming up with possible scenarios that actually happen. The simpsons speculating about trump being president was predictive speculation, the simpsons speculating that dolphins will rise from the oceans and take back the land is merely speculation.
Yeah he was kinda smoking crack there, its a great film, but it insists upon itself expeditiously, none of kubricks other films have the slightly pretentious feeling it does
Idk it might be the crazy amount of analysis but the Shining is more pretentious, you just can't tell because it takes place in a world you can understand.
What would you say is pretentious about the shining? Its just a very well made horror film. 2001 has a 10+ minute coloured coffee scene, shining has redrum being murder reversed. Im genuinely curious as to what you think was pretentious about the shining
A 10 minute mundane look at life on a space station is not as pretentious as an long slow moving close up of a guy with a deranged look on his face. It's not even a horror movie it's so pretentious, just bad cabin fever with hallucinations to make you think it's something deeper.
The shining definetely deserves to be on the "good that its bad because it insists on itself"
