    But I would argue that the people making that argument are stimulated in some way maybe not emotionally but in some way. They like it because it resonates for some reason.

    You should check it out. Not "great" but certainly good in my book.

          You're all wrong for every reason I stated. But, that's cool.

            Yeah, he was really on fire during that time in his career, plus the old indian man slays me. With his Magoo watching and Peyote smoking.

              This is my guilty pleasure post. It's complete shit, but I love it.

                I agree in that it can be a cop out. In that it justifies just liking any pile of shit out there. But there are times when it is in fact legitimate to say such things. Because you have no other way of justifying it.

                Like I said, this really can come into play with music.

                  DOES NOT COMPUTE.

                  How are we wrong? Are you telling me there is not one movie that you like (and you know is shit)?

                        I find that highly suspect. Every film you enjoy has received critical acclaim or not a bad word was said about it?

                            I think Pauline needs to lay out his favorite films. Let's see them.

                              How about guilty HATRED, then: a picture that is critically lauded and everyone else loves, but you can't stand it for some reason. If those can exist, cannot a guilty PLEASURE exist as well?

                                I can name a whole bunch of my favorite films that would be considered good by most. But I like talking about films that people think are pure shit.
