Sometimes bad movies are fun to watch.
Yes if you change the definition of "bad", but there's a name for that logical fallacy.
Madame Web was actually so fun to hate watch. Take a shot every time she opens a soda.
Spoiler
There are two scenes where she holds a can of soda but doesn't open them. She keeps almost opening them but never quite does. It's hilarious.'So bad it's good' is one of my favorites. But you have to be prepared going into it. If you start a 'so bad it's good' film wanting something decent, you'll be disappointed. If you go in planning to enjoy the terrible, ridiculous, and ridiculous and/or banality, you'll probably enjoy it. If that's your thing.
My favorites of this genre are 'Hobo with a shotgun', 'Dead Snow' (sequel is actually good), and 'rubber'.
Wasn’t Hobo with a Shotgun deliberately made as a “bad” film?
It's not so much "so bad it's good" because there are equally bad movies that aren't fun to watch
Oh Rubber, what a wonderfully introduction to weirdness. Tubo kid, psychogorman, kooties, even the fortuitous one. It's nice to see movie get made that aren't made with an cookie cutter
I had an idea to go to events that you believe will be disappointing.
If it is disappointing you were mentally prepared for it and can have a (respectful) laugh about it.
But whenever something mildly exciting does happen it will hit multiple fold.
Never convinced anyone to come with.
You've got a gambler's spirit lol
They implied that they had no fun though.
Yeah, there are good bad movies and bad bad movies.
