Do You Think We are Losing Our Ability to have An Open Mind Regarding Movies?

[RCMerchant]

In one respect we all are open minded-we like some of the worst films ever made.
Many people mock films like the HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND,ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN-but we here at BAD MOVIES actually have a love for them.
When Liz Taylor died-the world mourned.
When Yvette Vickers died- we mourned.
I think we may be jaded to big budget souless drek.
But I believe we are much more open minded than people who think TITANIC is great and BRIDE OF THE MONSTER isn't.
Most kids nowadays won't watch a film if it dosn't involve millions of dollars in special effects,super heros, or cgi spaceships or dragons.
Yeah-I think we're WAAAAY more open minded.

I love badmovies as well, but I'm getting a feeling this forum is moving more toward Bad Movie Bashing then appreciation. I don't even really know why I think this, but I just get that feeling this forum doesn't have a love for Bad Movies.

I sometimes get the same feeling.
I've also noticed that opinions about bad movies (or good movies) are extremely diverse here, and love or hate for a movie appears to be at total random.
Makes it nearly impossible (for me) to pin down individuals taste in movies. I have never experienced this on any other message board

Put it this way, I would rather sit and watch the complete works of Fred Olen Ray & Rick Sloane than watch Twilight or Inception or even Raging Bull and the Godfather trilogy. That's where I stand.

in some sense, yes. We judge stuff based on the trailers, which would decide whether or not that the movie will be good. Also, there will be some movies which will be deemed as horrible based on the track record on previous movies.

[Ed, Ego and Superego]

I'm closed minded, but I think I always have been.  I am leery of any movie that anyone not on this site, or a few choice friends say "You have to see". 

I also instinctively avoid anything that has too many TV comercials or sells it self as "The movie of the...."

I'm sure I miss some good stuff, and it does annoy my wife.  She doesn't have our refined film tastes.

Do you want me to get rid of her?  It'll be nice and clean, no one will know.

I trust my 'Spider Sense' regards spending money for films. It's usually right.

I just wrote up a really long, really earnest, hopefully thoughtful post for this thread... but then my forum session ran out because I forgot to check that stupid "keep my signed in" box when I logged on. Now all that carefully constructed prose has vanished into thin air. F--- my life.
