    It’s worthwhile to acknowledge that movies don’t all exist along a Good-Bad axis, but also along an axis of Watchable-Unwatchable.

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie with Bob Hoskins is Bad and Watchable.

    La Dolce Vita is Good, but I would be hard-pressed to call it Watchable.

    Morbius is Terrible, but not even remotely in a fun, Watchable way. It’s just cold dog shit.

    And of course all of these categories are 100% subjective relative to the individual viewer.

      I’ll take a bad movie that knows it’s bad over a movie that thinks it’s good every day of the week.

    I don’t like Interstellar because what the hell does growing corn have to do with going into a black hole?

      Solaris was genuinely very difficult to follow. As an avante garde Sci Fi piece, incredible. You can draw a straight line from Solaris to a hundred Star Trek and Dr Who and Battle Star Galactica episodes. Absolutely littered with cool ideas.

      As… entertainment? It was a bumpy road. The execution was rough, even by the standards of the era.
