"I have ten [movie-making] commandments. The first nine are, thou shalt not bore." -- Billy Wilder.
The answer is obviously C.
I'll take an entertainingly bad film - which can be A, B, D, E, F, G, H, and I all at the same time -- over any film that's just plain C.
C (boring) followed by F (too long). When C and F join forces it's a major disaster! The axis of evil.
Badly acted, poorly written, unrealistic, offensive, cheap looking & stupid all describe many fun horror comedies, particularly from the 80s. They don't bother me, they may not be the best that cinema has to offer but they are fun to watch especially whilst intoxicated.
Very well said.
shareStupid when it is pretending that it isn’t. If it doesn’t claim to be anything other than what it is I’m fine with it.
shareBoring
shareUm, Wow.. It would probably have to include more than one choice, but you wouldn't know it was boring unless you saw it.. I'd say probably too long & cheap looking. One or the other, but I just don't think you can limit it to just one choice. 🤔
shareA.
shareH. That takes in so many of the other categories.
