For a lot of people it's hard to tell the the low from the high
because even the bad works are made by people who are good at their execution of art.

They know how to connect with that lizard brain.
They understand the rhythm of stories, and cinematography, how people react to facial expressions and body poses

Then just hit those brain neurons with a sledge hammer.



Until the Algorithm took over, the smartest people in the world were probably advertisers / commercial makers.
Insert your madman reference.

I still say when it comes to movie fans, people who enjoy 80s schlock horror are the most tolerable bunch. Doesn't matter if it's critically panned! It's fun and it's got funny dialoague!

i blame grade inflation in american universities for making people think the only acceptable score for a video game is 9/10

i saw something a while back where an IGN reviewer said that they mostly give scores of 7+ because IGN doesnt review the sort of game that would score lower. so like the entire bottom 5/10 is just there if a game is completely technically hosed or unfinished

I saw a 3 once but it was for like a completely broken indie horror game that could be finished in under 30 minutes.

I mean that is fitting for a 3. Maybe?

Ghoulies 2 is the closest to being a functional movie, for sure. Ghoulies 1 is dull and meandering and completely useless, Ghoulies 3 is lovely horror-comedy but at least conceptually weird enough to be interesting, Ghoulies 4 is as close to nothing as a movie can be and I hate it.

It's a lot healthier for the brain to just like something because it entertained you instead of having to make yourself justify it by measuring it to other things.

Stravinsky is better the Schoenberg.
Schoenberg is still drat good and foundational to new voices.

Schoenberg's authenticity is a dada wall.

the best marvel movie is thor ragnarok and it would have been ten times better if a year before it came out the advertising didn't give away what was clearly intended to be the movie's big twist moment

supermechagodzilla has argued that between king of the monsters and godzilla versus kong theres enough plot for one good monster movie and notes that combining the two could among other things have the big storm in king of the monsters destroy kongs island instead of clumsily having that important plot point happen offscreen without explanation

just sitting here thinking how apeshit people would have gone for kong to pop up unannounced in king of the monsters really sucks that you cant do twists like that anymore because were so oversaturated with media hype

I don't think bad reviews have ever been insightful into a game since Deadly Premonition, the most polarized game of all time.

After reading Wittgenstein and getting deep into James Joyce, most novels just look sloppy.

Well, yeah... Joyce and Gaddis and Pynchon and the like really raised the bar for what you can do with the written word. I'd rather read DFW than most other authors.

scorcese's (anodyne, tame) comments really revealed some insecurities of the marvel enjoyers (or at least their most vocal supporters/media freaks)....... would have been a good opportunity for some reflection, but alas

That's a thing I've noticed a lot with liberals right now, that you can't just say "Whatever, you do you", but you must enjoy and celebrate and acknowledge their choices as the correct and moral and good ones.

This, basically (apologies for video quality):

well first off all people who get buff indubitably become less funny, and second I'd be surprised if he's done more than a 5-10 minute set since 2017 so he's probably got no jokes


e: but if he laid off the dianabol and started getting up every night yeah he could turn it around

Jim Carrey: got buff, less funny
Fat Kid From Superbad: lost like 100+ pounds, less funny (regained funny levels when he got fat again)
Dave Chappelle: got buff, less funny
Chris Pratt: got buff, way less funny


if you started out buff or nearly-buff (Will Smith, Kevin Hart) adding a bit more muscle doesn't seem to diminish your comedy abilities
