The worst thing a movie can be is boring. A bad movie that entertained me is on some level a good movie.

I tracked down and bought my mom the bluray release of Swamp Volcano cause she loves bad movies and that one seems to be one of her favs.

Imagined posted:The worst thing a movie can be is boring. I agree with this but right up there with "being boring" is "bad acting". I get sucked right out of a movie when an actor is really struggling and totally missing the mark. Conversely, a really good performance can keep me interested in a film I otherwise might not be enjoying much. This sort of fits in with "being boring" I think. To contribute, I also hate heavy handed and super obvious character development. In films like "Crash" and "Higher Learning", which are OK films, every character becomes a one dimensional stereotype to really drive home The Point and make sure We Get It. It insults the audience and usually makes me roll my eyes. "Platoon", "Remember the Titans" and "American History X" suffer from this too even though I like all those films.

I'm probably late to this, but why are they still doing the "autism is actually a superpower" plotline? The new predator would have been pretty ok if it didn't have that "twist" and the lady repeating how autists are more evolved or whatever. It's not as bad as what they did with whatever the kid in Dreamcatcher had, but it's close.

I worked with an autistic guy at my call center. He screamed at callers, argued with management about protocol (he was wrong, bee-tee-dubs), and used to discreetly poo poo himself which left his chair and cubicle smelling like someone topped a plate of chicken tendies with raw sewage. I hated working with him, because I knew, secretly, he is the pinnacle of humanity's triumph.

I mean, autism doesn’t make you a genius but super intelligent people are frequently on the spectrum.

Aphrodite posted:I mean, autism doesn’t make you a genius but super intelligent people are frequently on the spectrum. yeah I mean i'm not saying autists aren't smart or anything, but for a predator to say he is a "warrior" and to be described as the next stage of evolution is pretty stupid and comes off as pandering to parents of autists. That kid even in adult form would just poo poo his pants if he had to face a predator in real battle. You can't kill them with knowing a lot about computers, unless you specifically know how to make the computers kill them.

The kid kills the Predator by luring him onto train tracks at precisely the right time because he has the time tables memorized.

I don't really see what the problem is with that plot. Like, "they pull spines out so they can harvest individual character traits from dna" is one step removed from "they're wizards and they do poo poo with magic" so I really don't really see why it's such a big issue that they might want to steal that kid's innate skill with technology or whatever - sure it's nonsense but it's a film about invisible aliens that dress in fishnets and crash helmets, so I'm not sure what you were expecting.

I am just tired of the "trope" or whatever you want to call it. I love stephen king, and he loves writing in magic autists, and I'm sick of it. "What if disability is good" is played out.

I liked seeing Thomas Jane and Keegan Michael Key and others just goofing around. I rather just watch a movie about them going on multiple suicide missions.

A black man with Downs syndrome who speaks in an insultingly racist stereotypical patois with troubling sexual anecdotes who is also a successful writer with substance abuse problems living in Maine in the 1960's is basically the ur-Stephen King Character.
