    Matthew M doesn’t realize that a half star is actually an emotional response and if it took him 15 minutes to write something, that movie had him THINKING. Thats what Art should do. Art can be something you HATE. That is an emotion. Art is suppost to make you feel something, and feeling something at the extream makes it pretty fucking good Art.

      Uh, no. A good movie should make you feel something at least close to an intended emotion set, or at least get you thinking about its content.

      I’m gonna venture a guess that nobody intended for the reaction to the movie to be someone having trouble thinking about how to write a 0.5 star review for it and then quit and tell other people not to waste their time.

      The people watching yet another rehash of war of the worlds are not going to be (for the most part) art snobs. When the audience that would bother watching this watch it and say it sucks, I fucking believe them.

      I haven’t wasted my time because I heed warnings rather than touching hot stoves.

      By this definition, performing a genocide is art.

      Edit: I have been informed by replies, thank you.

      By this definition, performing a genocide can be art.

      Also, this post was art because I pissed off a bunch of people to the point that they were compelled to respond.

      Nah. This is like forcing film students to watch Wavelength and having a “Gotcha!” for every variation on “This is bad and you should stop.” The fart-sniffing version of when bigots sneer “Accurately labeling my behavior proves my point.” The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.

      For contrast: I kept a copy of Bill McKibben’s “Enough” on my bookshelf, because of how much I hate it. Neo-Amish cloud-yelling, covered in angry scribbles and post-its until halfway through, where I gave up. I have watched Italian blacksploitation movies to script an amateur MST3K knockoff. I am familiar with negativity as a response to art.

      This is someone rolling a movie around in their mind, looking for any way to connect with it, or to share their experience of it, and finding absolutely nothing. All they can offer is a polite warning.
