i think it's hilarious butplug is like "oh The Shining is so middlebrow hrrr hrr hrr I actually have taste" and then recommends a movie where a chick smashes a dude's junk with a board and cuts her clit off. goons are loving idiots with art house pretensions is what i have learned from this thread and several other threads

the shining is a b-movie with a better budget directed by a slick hack, and the fact that nobody comes away from the movie having learned anything about themselves or experienced any new emotions shows how bland it is

Shining doesn't set to do what every other movie already does. i'm not talking about universals about the Human Condition or anything like that. i'm talking about the viewer being made to feel something interesting. something that isn't just the normal human fight-or-flight response with cheap jump scares and "spooky" mood setting music, ie. the usual pulp fare. i remember when i was a kid watching the end scene with the frozen jack nicholson and every kid in the small screening room laughed. if you didn't laugh at that scene there's probably something wrong with you

welcome to GBS film criticism, where everybody you don't like is a hack because words don't mean things anymoreA misanthrope posted:i think it's hilarious butplug is like "oh The Shining is so middlebrow hrrr hrr hrr I actually have taste" and then recommends a movie where a chick smashes a dude's junk with a board and cuts her clit off. A lot of GBS goons never broke out of that r/movies mindset where the be-all end-all measurement of a film's quality is "over-rated" and "under-rated", so a critical and popular success like The Shining is automatically bad while something "obscure" (ie not obscure at all but they know gently caress all about movies so they're just discovering it five years after everybody else did) that divided critics and audiences like Antichrist is automatically good

Actually, that raises a question, if someone is balding so much that the balding reaches the back of their neck, is their brow now really high? Or has it come around to being really low? Is it both? In that case, it's possible that The Shining could be really high brow and low brow at the same time.

But butplug accident is a wannabe intellectual so of course he went for the most obvious, most pedestrian option.

I mean he is a bad poster, but Antichrist is a good film Just not one I'm ever going to completely rewatch again or recommend people watch multiple times because I'm not a fan of the genital mutilation parts.

Soft Shell Crab posted:I love both of these films to death. They are both incredible films, but I guess I have to chose between the two because there can't be two great films on same subject without one being inferior directed by a hack. i think kubrick is an overblown hack but i loved dr. strangelove and full metal jacket. and it's very common to compare solaris to 2001 since solaris was billed as the "anti-2001" and people have been arguing about which is better. i'm not saying you have to choose between anything, that's dumb as gently caress.
