How does one “expect more” from art? You either like it or you don’t?

lmao your response is emblematic of the decline of media literacy and exactly the mindset of a typical obsession fan. not even being hateful, it’s just impossible to even to begin to explain it to someone slow enough that they have to ask that question.

Then maybe quit being pretentious and try to explain what I’m missing

not being pretentious, you’re just missing a crazy amount of life experience and exposure to art/culture. no amount of explaining could help you understand.

Try me. Unless you’re just pumping out word salads to cover your actual lack of an explanation?

i’ll do my best. engaging with art is not just determining if it entertained you or not. art is so much more than some binary or binary spectrum. art isn’t a product to review, it’s an experience. it can alter the way you think. if you haven’t had the experience of a piece of art moving you past your way of reviewing movies, then it’s like i’m trying to describe a dog to someone that’s never seen a dog.

even in a more grounded sense, if you start reading a super popular book and you start realizing it reads like a buzzfeed article with no themes, you’d be upset because you expected more of it.

So, you didn’t like Obsession. Could have just said that from the beginning?

Can you just articulate what you didn’t like about Obsession without regurgitating the last lecture you heard in film class?

extremely heavy handed, even just to get basic plot points across (panning the broken one wish willow at end after it being entirely clear). terrible dialogue. themes are heavy handed and lack depth. it’s just a constant rehashing of “not having consent bad” and “be careful what you wish for” without meaningfully exploring them. and those are children’s show themes. they did it better in fairly odd parents bro. just recycles trite horror gags, and the gore is terrible. mediocre performances

it looks exactly like his skits except darker. genuinely an ugly movie. embarrassingly bad soundtrack other than current joys and one other song. but i can’t emphasize enough how bad the dialogue is, even for horror. you can just tell the dude who made the movie has the brain of a 15 year old boy

Okay now I’ll ask you a more difficult question: what would you have changed to make it better?

Come on. You’re smart enough to do better, right? How would you?

that would waste too much of my time. don’t have to be a professional chef to be able to tell if a burger is overcooked

No, but you’d think if someone wants to waste their time yammering about how refined their taste is, they’d be able to offer some input on how to make the burger better.

not claiming i have superior taste. just that one particular movie is bad

bro i said everything i didn’t like about it. those are the things i would improve. tf am i supposed to say? i would make them act better? i would have a completely different plot? different soundtrack? better gore? better dialogue? you want me to write dialogue of a movie for you? dumb af

What notes would you give the actors? What plot would you use instead? What soundtrack? How could the gore be better? Can you find a line from the movie you can improve on?

you’re just sincerely dumb. again not wasting my time to do that, and i wouldn’t want to. i am not a filmmaker. the movie doesn’t succeed about being itself. you’re just deflecting with this logical fallacy of an argument because you’re embarrassed you had to ask “how does one expect more from art?” and realized how dumb you are

I think you’re just a hack who thinks speaking negatively about popular things makes you smart but sure go off
