What's the point of having good taste if you can't

No.

Having standards and being able to critically dissect and analyze creative mediums is what separates human beings from sheep. If anyone ever defends a movie by saying "I dunno I liked it" then they are immediately no longer a person.

Euphoric posts. Simply epic.

My philosophy is that everything has merit, regardless of how bad it is. I'm an optimist in that sense.

Any of the stupid shit I see I usually am able to balance out with something better, so I'm able to see WHY something got so popular.

It's why I've become such a lover of really cheesy trash and cult classics, I can see how much effort went into the making of it regardless of how awful it turned out.

You've got a point.

I like the way you look at things.

Stop pretending you or anyone else here has good taste in anything.

this so much.

Guessing by the sheer amount of threads related to garbage like superhero movies, game of thrones, walking dead etc. "good taste" on /tv/ is a rare sighting.

My musician friend can't enjoy most music and my animator friends can't enjoy most cartoons.
Ignorance is truly bliss.
Glad to hear you found some solid work, though.

> solid

Yeah, no.

I have basically a permenent casual job (35 hours a week) that keeps me alive and my boss is ok with me randomly disappearing for weeks at a time as long as the next roster isn't out yet. I'd like it to be the only thing I do, but it's not really feasible in Australia.
