Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

The Terminator trailer looks great.

Although It’s difficult to watch that without hearing James Cameron’s “T3 without me” mantra and his recent comments on Star Wars and Marvel being redundant, no new ideas etc

I mean c’mon, you’re producing Terminator 6 (or 3 given he’s ignoring the rest) and 3 Avatar sequels and Disney is the problem?

Oh wait, wrong "classics". :p

I've grown to hate lists. Sue me.
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

You are just begging for someone to post a "List of Best Lists" to annoy you ;)

(I agree btw)
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

I like that it is "your favorite" and not "best."

Some of my favorites are really not good movies. Just re-watched Goonies this weekend, b/c someone (around my age) HADN'T SEEN IT.

We MST3K'd it. And we realized how bad it really was. However, still an 80s classic, and I still like it.

Psst. That's what all "best" lists are. Subjective judgments are called that for a reason. There are no objective aesthetic standards; it's all just consensus and scoping your audience. Somewhere there's a guy who will argue Leonard Part 6 is an "objectively" better film than Citizen Kane with such conviction than each of us will begin to believe him after a while.

De gustibus non est disputandum.
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

Not necessarily. I wouldn't argue that Citizen Kane is not one of the best movies of all time given the consensus, same with 2001. However I personally find both to be overrated and wouldn't put either in my own personal Top 20.

But there are an infinite number of ways of scoping consensus and none of those are objective because they are also a matter of taste.

It's subjectivity all the way down.

Or as Hume said, there is no way to get from an is to an ought.
