When did "but its a fun movie" get introduced as a way to completely dismiss all shortcomings of a movie?

And why is it so fucking infuriating?
>>
when normies had social media
>>
Because every movie isnt aspiring to be Citizen Kane.

Some are just meant to be watched for entertainment purposes.

When /tv/ spent a better part of a year hyping up Pacific Rim. Only to have it completely blow.

Not every movie has to be a fucking life-changing experience you autistic asshole.

Some people actually live there own live instead of vicariously through the Hollywood money-machine. You should try getting out of your basement and engaging in the struggle of life once in a while, then you might appreciate the occasional light diversion.

Because you let the opinions of total strangers about inconsequential topics bother you.
>>
>>64527640
So art isn't entertaining then?

Why not

Why must you insistently talk about films you deem to be bad?

I desperately need my opinions validated by other people to compensate for the fact that I don't have any taste myself.
>>
>>64527852

I dont, but whenever I bring up criticisms for some movies and people give the me 'fun' card to dismiss me it really kills my drive to ever talk with anyone about the shit ever.
>>
Its a buzzword
>>
>>64527842

Because if they all were, then none of them are.

You need Juxtaposition to appreciate movies. You need the lows to appreciate the highs.
>>

Because liking a movie, and calling it a "good" movie are two different things entirely.

Some of my favorite movies are absolute trash artistically speaking, but remain enjoyable. I would never argue their merits, but if someone tries to critique the "core" on its merits as a film, then they're the asshole in the situation.
>>
There's nothing more autistic and retarded than supposed "cinephiles" that watch flicks or movies and then complain about them being stupid. It's like calling yourself a food critic and then complaining that the EXTRA HOT EXTRA SPICY CHICKEN (or whatever) is spicy
>>
My favorite part is when the plebs that use that "defense" claim they also watch "patrician films" too, but when you ask them about it they vanish
>>
>>64527549
Because we live in a culture of mediocrity.
We've been patting ourselves in the back and awarding people for failing for at least 40 years now of course that would hurt movies.
>>
>>64527909
I do actually understand how you feel. It's honestly rarely worth while to attempt to discuss film and music in any significant depth outside of an appropriate forum. It's like being a car enthusiast and trying to talk to someone about it with some who has a 'any car will do' mentality, not to say there's anything at all wrong with that.
>>
>>64527549
Since Spielberg
>>
>>64527549
I'd rather have a normie who would admit that they watched a movie with flaws than some pleb who only says its fun because they can't form any opinion of it
>>
>>64527730
I'M PLEB AND PROUD AND I WANT THIS WEBSITE TO BE JUST AS PLEB AS ME YEAH I DON'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT FILM OR ART AT ALL I'M JUST HERE TO SHITPOST
>>
>>64527909
Most people don't put any thought into movies, I can tell you that much. If you expect to have any kind of meaningful conversation outside of dedicated forums you'll be disappointed.

and no, /tv/ is not a dedicated forum
>>
>>64527549

Except it doesn't, you can acknowledge the flaws of a film and still enjoy it for what it DOES bring to you.

What makes a film "trash, artistically"?

Can a comedy have artistic merit? It seems to be the genre that people trash the most and look down upon, implying there's no art in humor.
>>
>>64529150
I think it's more the case that humor on its own is not sufficient to be art, but humor can absolutely be a very potent device within it.
>>
>>64527549
>And why is it so fucking infuriating?
Because you have AUTISM and you spend way too much time getting mad over shit that doesn't matter to well-balanced people.
>>
>>64529150
Airplane is more artistic than any of the poor Oscarbait put out in the last 10 years
