“It is a collective failure, but it was right to make this movie.”

This is how out of touch they are. If it wasn't the right movie, format, sequel, promoting, or timing for it, then it was actually the wrong call. You can tell, you know, by the results?

Nah, plenty of cult classics failed when they came out, but would be impossible to create at the time they became popular. So if you have an artistic vision and an opportunity to realize it, it doesn't matter if the masses are ready for it, you should go for it. If the goal was creating a musical with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, the time was now and the result is at least interesting enough to be culturally viable. We'll have to check in 20 years to see if it has any staying power as a cult classic.
