Sounds like 10% of the time you did not have fun watching a movie. That's a bad movie.

Sometimes bad movies are fun to watch.

'So bad it's good' is one of my favorites. But you have to be prepared going into it. If you start a 'so bad it's good' film wanting something decent, you'll be disappointed. If you go in planning to enjoy the terrible, ridiculous, and ridiculous and/or banality, you'll probably enjoy it. If that's your thing.

My favorites of this genre are 'Hobo with a shotgun', 'Dead Snow' (sequel is actually good), and 'rubber'.

Oh Rubber, what a wonderfully introduction to weirdness. Tubo kid, psychogorman, kooties, even the fortuitous one. It's nice to see movie get made that aren't made with an cookie cutter

I had an idea to go to events that you believe will be disappointing.

If it is disappointing you were mentally prepared for it and can have a (respectful) laugh about it.

But whenever something mildly exciting does happen it will hit multiple fold.

Never convinced anyone to come with.

You've got a gambler's spirit lol

It's not so much "so bad it's good" because there are equally bad movies that aren't fun to watch

Wasn’t Hobo with a Shotgun deliberately made as a “bad” film?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Madame Web was actually so fun to hate watch. Take a shot every time she opens a soda.

SpoilerThere are two scenes where she holds a can of soda but doesn't open them. She keeps almost opening them but never quite does. It's hilarious.

Yes if you change the definition of "bad", but there's a name for that logical fallacy.

They implied that they had no fun though.

Yeah, there are good bad movies and bad bad movies.
