We live in such a cynical world nowadays...

I hate how nowadays people tend to hate everything or try to make everybody else aware of their hate against stuff.
You know, how people like to criticize this and that. For example in games or movies forums, going voluntary to topics about things they hate and then "sharing" their hate there...
They're such attention whores.

But what do I hate more than those spammers/lonely kids? How uncool it is to like something now.

I have no problems saying I like a movie or a book, be it good or even bad.
What's wrong in liking something a bit amateurysh or badly executed?
Movie exemple: not every director has to be Coppola or Kubrick! We would end up with tons of well made movies but boring!! There's no problem liking a B-movie, not just blockbusters!

Usually what you would hear people say or write instead would be:
I liked it in some degree...
Or in a tongue-in-cheek way...
A bad movie that was cheesy but fun...

 Why would you like something as a guilty pleasure?? Can't you just like it. Period??
Are you that affected by the other's perception of yourself?

Usually people will say about something that is commonly treated as bad that they like it, because it's so bad that it's good.
There's some problem with this "guilty" mentality. Like an entertainment masochist, you like stuff because you call them bad.
Can't you just admit that you like those? That they're good, in your opinion.
We don't have all the same tastes nor opinion!

Be yourself! Don't follow the others like some stupid bipedal media sheep!
Have your own opinions, dammit!!

Eyz, who actually likes the original live action Street Fighter movie, even if it didn't follow the plot of the games, didn't have a good plot either and had a pretty mixed casting. The film was fun, enjoyable and Eyz would rewatch it any day over any current modern blockbuster!

Don't act like the others just to fit in.

  1. I really dislike how people would say they like stuff, say those Street fighter movie&cartoon, as a guilty pleasure or not taking it seriously.

    Can't they just admit they simply LIKE to watch those!?
    But they need to get in line with everybody sayin' it sucks and they only watch it because it's "bad"...
    Like some crazy movie/cartoon masochist!

  2. Okay, but saying stuff is "so bad it's good" kinda annoys me.
    If you like it/find entertainment in it, then at some level you actually find it good but not because it's bad.
    It's actually fun = good for you...

    I think I'm trying to hard to explain that it's simply good.

    It isn't "so bad", that would be just bad to watch :/

    I suppose I'm not makin' a lot of sense in this reply, right?
