Did u have fun is one part of good. So is did it make u think deeply about something, was it pretty, was the dialogue good, did it give u a new perspective, did it make u feel something. Etc etc

I'm often very enamored by camera work, type of shot and things like how they translate certain things to film with limited options.

Especially when it's Drama related and has to do with heavier emotions or things like disorders and other issues.

But usually i'm just a: "watched movie, had fun" kinda guy.

I watched a stoner movie a while back about some guys that got stranded in their van and hotboxed their asses back or forward(can't remember) 30 years...as an avid non drug user i had fun but i did think it was a shit movie tho.

Sounds like someone who never watched House of the Dead in theatres.

I did a Final Destination marathon recently to prep for Bloodlines.
While all the movies have their flaws and weaknesses, FD4 was garbage. Even as a easy to please person I couldn't handle it.

Genuinely terrible, I am shocked they wanted it to be the last one in the franchise, to the point they called it "The Final Destination"

Imo most movies are kind of bad and I usually regret watching them.

But I kinda feel like this is because I can easily think of other things I would have had more fun spending that time on. So it's a tangible loss to me.

FWIW I keep watching movies because I have seen a few that makes the pursuit worth it.

To have no opinion other than gratefulness is... Concerning.

Hey, one of my cringe memories that randomly pops up when I try to go to sleep!

"So what did you think, pretty good right?"

"Ahahah what??? No, it was shit!"

It was Wild Things, feel free to confirm that it was indeed shit.

So we're going to ignore the assholes that talk in the theater too huh?

This is exactly why we mainly get dogshit by people with nothing to say or any life experience.

We've got a community on mastodon called monsterdon that watches bad movies for fun. Just search the hashtag, main event is Sunday nights but there's some spinoffs.

This is why I hardly ever recommend movies.

My criteria pretty much boils down to "did it hold my attention" during the runtime?"

A "good" movie holds my attention An "ok" movie doesn't hold my atttention 100% A "bad" movie 'pushes' my attention away
