  I think I know what OOP means here. Films that people only like because they’re “good movies.”

  I think the Avatar films fall into this category, as do most of the “Oscar bait” movies.

      You know how some restaraunts have a reputation for serving “good food” (I.e. gourmet food), but just because it’s fancier food it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll actually like it more?

      So, what are some foods that people only like because they’re fancy? (I’d argue caviar is one)

      Same idea, but for movies. What are some movies that people only like because they’re seen as being “good movies”?

      OG Avatar was basically “last of the space Mohicans”.

      Also: Jesus tapdancing christ 🤦‍♂️

      You know how like some stuff is goodbad but people like it because it’s not awful? Like, when it’s not made with minimal effort and it seems like someone actually tried write believable dialog.

      What are goodbad movies like that movies like that but good.

      There was a movie in 2002 called the Pianist. If you were around then, you get it.

    Huge box office numbers =/= people calling a film good. People have absolutely been turning out in record numbers for the films, but have all been shit talking them endlessly for fifteen years.

    I’m not arguing its sensible. Look at Call of Duty and the rhetoric around how bad they’ve become, but the same people whining always buy them.

    Nah, those movies are ass. They just have amazing special effects.

      … and somehow they still get butts in seats and lots of people enjoy them.

      People want to see the cutting-edge cgi. In that sense it absolutely is qualityslop.

      Did anyone really feel like the CGI was cutting edge at the time? Maybe I was hard to impress, but I felt like it was a bad movie with mid-grade CGI 🤷‍♂️

      As a millionaire living my best life, I’m giving $30k to the first 20 people who message me ‘grace.’ I understand that many people are struggling with bills, and I want to help reduce that burden.

    Nah, this is things like most Tarantino films, particularly Pulp Fiction, where it’s a good movie, but every 17 year old you meet who loves it only loves it because everyone else loves it.

    Like how Shindler’s list is supposed to be good? I’ve never seen it. Also Citizen Kane? It’s a hard watch these days. Actually, it might be a little more relevant in the Trump era.

    Fight Club is probably in this category. It’s not… I did not enjoy it, but it has so much hype around it.

      Citizen Kane is actually phenomenal though

      Like that, except you do like them, mostly because you walk away feeling like you experienced a “good film.”

    I thought this but opposite of Avatar, good writing/acting and low budget

  The new Star Trek show is being called competency porn, which kind of fits this description. Although that’s been Star Trek for a long time. I think folks are upset they’re targeting youth with the last couple series… which, the average ST fan now being 92 years old, doesn’t exactly shock me.

  Media criticism has become so full of right-wing messaging, that quality-slop doesn’t sound off-base. Kinda like poes law.

  These CHOADS take the time to learn media-criticism jargon and aesthetics, but they use those to make single-digit ‘your Dad’ type complaints. The most popular being the existence of black actors.

  I’ve seen people vehemently argue scientific accuracy in Star Wars. People are aggregated right now at the “unrealistic” casting of black actors in a Cyclops movie. Next to this insanity, quality-slop sounds pretty reasonable.

    Like Tenet

    I mean, fun idea on paper.

    But as a movie i was whelmed. Great actors and shitty script

    source

    • UnspecificGravity@piefed.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I liked Tenet, but I also made a conscious decision not to think about the plot too hard and just accept it’s vision of it’s own universe.

      I should rewatch Tenet. I think I liked it, and I see criticism all over the internet recently.

      I didn’t understand Tenet.

      As in, i couldn’t hear/make out what they where whispering to each other the whole time.

      Tenet didn’t make any sense on paper. It made less sense on screen.

    No? Most of his stuff are terrible movies.

    But, I am watching them for fucking around with cool ideas and crazy visual scenes. Couldn’t care less about plot, characters, sometimes logic, etc.

      Nolan is literally telling the audience that the story doesn’t matter by deliberately burying the dialog under the music and sound effects.

    Only after batman and inception, it’s overrated and annoying now.

    Hey, the Batman movies were good.

    source

    • Diddlydee@feddit.uk ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That Bane one was one of the most poorly-structured, plot-hole-filled messes I’ve ever seen. Nolsn is awful but you’re supposed to like his movies because they’re ‘good’ (if you like things that look very nice but with no characters and terrible dialogue).

    I like their stuff, it’s entertaining enough for me. Not winning any major awards but I’m sure it’s fun for the actors and viewers.
