Hi, friends!
I hope your weekend has gone well! Do you have any tv or movies that are objectively bad but somehow you enjpy them too?
Yesterday I watched Jurassic World: Dominion and it’s definitely a bad movie. The concept doesn’t even make sense. There’s no way the characters could survive basically anything they do. You could make a short edit of only the scenes that have the OG three (Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill) and it would have been a better film. Potentially with fewer plot inconsistencies even if you didn’t try to make any more sense out of it.
Any British SF by Gerry Anderson
OG Battlestar Galactica
The Avengers TV Series (Steed Peel etc nothing to do with Marvel)
Battle of the Planets
Any Harryhousen Movie
Godzilla Vs King Kong (Japanese version)
Do you root for a particular kaiju or does it vary by film?
It varies by film. Usually the one defending as opposed to the attacker.
When you watch a lot of silent comedy shorts like Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd, you realize despite the slapstick there’s a lot of clever stuff going on.
When you watch The Three Stooges, there’s nothing close. But they’re still just as funny.
Yeah Buster Keaton and that type were just subversive in their own way sometimes. Three Stooges are still funny, but not aspirating to any extra depth.
Literally every movie ever made that involves an earthquake. But so satisfying.
Oh yes! They’re always so wrong and yet so ridiculously entertaining!
I have an example of the opposite. Barbie. A movie that was objectively good but I did not enjoy. I could only take it in ten minute bites, but I managed to stick it out to the end (it took me a few weeks).
This might be an unpopular opinion, but there it is.
Not every movie is enjoyed by everyone, even blockbuster movies.
There’s definitely been movies where I’m like yeah I guess it’s good but nah I’m good to never watch it again nor recommend it to anyone. Dunkirk, for example.
nazis on the moon…and hitler on a t-rex….it doesnt get any better than that…lol
president palin is a nice touch tho
I’ll watch a “Police Academy” movie. I will pay attention to the scenes with Larvell (Michael Winslow).
