I can name, off the top of my head, several movies that I like that WAYDM (formerly [redacted]) found bad, implausible, annoying or otherwise stupid and just have to shrug and say "Ok, I don't get it."

I mean, these guys got their start ripping Phantom Menace to shreds, to shreds, and yet that movie still gets defenders. One thing I have learned on the Internet is something I like to call the "Omni Law" (because I'm not if it has a name). Omni law states that there will ALWAYS be someone out there who will defend ANYTHING at ANYTIME. We recently saw a resurgence in the Attack of the Clones thread, where many, including myself, defended it as a fun film and not the worst of the PT. So, beauty, as with many things, can be subjective. I think some of the more beautiful films are child's films because they better capture a sense of innocence and play that is often lacking in more maintstream films.

With all that, don't we encourage discussion here? Isn't that the point? I think that "Fight Club" is an atrocious film-there I said it!

Ok, now what?

And give away his secret?

It is really hard for me to quantify a movie as "bad" because often if they are stupid, I will laugh at their absurdity. Like Dave, being bad isn't grounds for me to "hate" a movie, because hate involves a level of emotional commitment I'm not willing to make towards a film.

However, recently, having had debates with others (here and elsewhere) about stupid films, I tried to be more critical. So "The Clone Wars" movie, the one released in theaters, gets a billing as a stupid movie, and my leaning towards it being an awful film. The voice-acting is absolutely wooden, with no expressiveness or life at all. The plot makes little to no sense and characters are just kind of thrown in there.

Rewatched "Orange County" one time and that is a pretty bad film too, though with some moments. However, the overall stupidity of the choices made by people land it as "bad" in my view.

Finally, no one mentioned "Battlefield Earth?" Or is that just universally considered bad without comment? 

What about LOTR or Kingdom of Heaven?

I have no problem with Jedi in their hey-day but like Trey said, it's not the impression we got from the OT that they were just hanging around Galactic Central, giving speeches and chilling in the Senate. No exactly enigmatic monks there. But, I also like Jedi, and enjoy learning about them. I liken them to the Wizards in LOTR and have read as much as I can on the 5 Wizards in Tolkein's mythos. But, they are still mysterious and do not appear much. And we don't see two of them at all.

This, of course, supports Trey's argument in the commentaries that the Jedi should not be so prominent in the story. But, even if they play a small role, you could still have them show up in a final battle, of sorts, where they gather the Jedi from across the galaxy for a battle, similar to Aaragorn gathering his Dunedain kin for his battle at Pelennor fields. Again, its when you know that things are getting deadly serious when the Jedi, who we have only seen one or two of, martial together.

That's why I like the Old Republic setting of games/timeline/thing as it allows the Jedi to be very populous without affecting the OT-at all. But the PT is showing the fall of Vader and the Republic and becoming the Empire, so it shouldn't be about the Jedi at all, save for the small part they play in Anakin's life. And then Mike wrote a story...the end

Yep. Christmas lights is my favorite so far

I think that got part 1 done but its been years since i looked at it.

For me, I'm just glad people are still trying. I think Dark Resurrection Vol 1 is certainly a great, grand scale, fan film that actually takes a little more of an original twist.

Honestly, I typically have a lower tolerance for low budget projects such as these, but this one had enough originality to be up my alley.

Sounds good to me. Headphones at the ready

See, this is what I like to see. Some great production design and interesting concepts in the SW universe.
I agree the audio mix was a little off, but I think it will be great.

Impressive theory but...

I have more I want to say, but suffice to say that I am trying to understand the (seemingly?) recent string of "This movie sucks!" anger that seems to be rampant these days. I get not liking movies, I get even hating movies (just watch the Clone Wars movie) but man, movies must really be sucking these days. It seems every week the next movie is just "stupid" or what have you. It's like this:

Yep, this.
Summed up my wife's and I experience, though the second one lasted much longer than it should have.
