oh, i can definitely be an asshole, i'm not going to refute that

you booed a movie, i booed you-- i'm an asshole

you made claims, i counterclaimed--i'm an asshole

you play games, i call out your games--i'm an asshole

it would be polite of me to walk away from this, but i'm not big on pretending that bullshit doesn't stink, so here i am being an asshole and saying "this shit stinks!" because it does

okay, i'll walk away now, politely

youre not an asshole for sharing or arguing your opinion, you are being an asshole in specific WAY you chose to express and articulate such.

btw, STOP IT ALREADY, you know exactly wtf you are doing

oh if you wanna keep this chat i have no problem. the futbol game was postponed so i have to wait for the new date.

i only wanted to stop to let you off the hook after i caught you playing games.

because in spite of all your offended posturing, i never said you lacked comprehension. you made that up.

i said you missed the point of the movie. a movie. not all movies, not everything on the planet, this movie.

then i posted you a link that clarifies why some people think the movie is great.

instead of responding to this, you pretended i said something about your mental faculties and started acting offended.

this is playing games!

sorry i'm not falling for them. just pointing them out.

i don't think it's a language barrier. i think it's you playing games.

for example:

in that section you're implying that i'm claiming that you or others don't understand art

this is of course bullshit and games.

because i believe that a person can understand art, even be a professional art person, and miss the point of an artist or artworks, without this being a condemnation of their capacities.

this happens all the time and all over history. missing the point of a work of art (or bad art, or whatever) is not a failure that condemn's one's being.

it's just some shit that happens every day and nobody should feel alarmed for it, nor trying to pretend that they get the point of everything.

so yes, i think that you missed the point of wicker man, but that doesn't mean that you are incapable of understanding art or that everyone should like the same thing

in saying that you understood the film and still disliked it, however, you didn't say "this is what i understand and this worked/didn't work for me".

instead you made up a scenario about me disparaging your mental faculties and your understanding of art, and proceeded to cry foul

this is games, friend. this is avoiding the issue and making up a straw man to tear it down.

see, i knew you'd brought severian into this discussion. severian and i patched it up quickly away from your meddling.

what you just did would be like me bringing up eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeveryone you've annoyed here-- those people are legion

but i didn't do that because that would have been PLAYING GAMES and skirting the issue

i'm now only bringing it up as comparison. but just the other day someone asked in a thread how annoying you were-- they deleted it later ha ha hah aaaa.

but yeah. mind games and bullcrap. it never ends. i thought you just had but OF COURSE you never quit.

haha dude i told you two hours ago i am in no way trying to convince you to agree with my opinion. i was simply sharing it! it wasn't an argument. it didn't require sourcing.

i also told you i "get it" about the Wicker Man. i know its critical acclaim, i just personally don't like the flick for the reasons i stated. its not a quantifiable opinion, its a matter purely of personal and individual tastes.

Ok. I don't want to get involved at all in this argument and I'm not choosing sides in any way — been working for 12 hours, no time to read the whole exchange — but I have to say this little nugget right here is extremely important, as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, Wicker Man prime is cheap, yeah it's corny in parts, yeah the acting is not great. But it does curl my nails. I haven't seen it in years, but it really fucked with me when I did see it. I'm genuinely not sure if it's considered a b-classic or just a b-movie in the states, but in the UK it's a cult flick, with good reason. There was some deeply unsettling shit in that film that left a lasting mark on me. That's the difference between it and other b-horror flicks.

Severian there never was an argument of any kind! i was never and am not trying to convince anyone that Wicker Man sucks or that they should think it sucks. i was simply sharing MY PERSONAL OPINION that as a matter of taste the I think it sucked.

and i actually just watched it a few months ago btw so my opinion is relatively fresh

It's one of my all time faves. I never really think of it as a B Movie though. It's a bit like Jacobs Ladder, or Duel, or Eraserhead: one of those films that just seems to come out of nowhere, that you don't know where to put or what to compare it with. Absolutely disturbed me the first time I saw it. I still watch it regularly and the last scene still fucks me up.

Forget about the Nic Cage remake, has anyone seen the recent sequel, The Wicker Tree? Now that's awful!

ha ha kermode-- this is the first time ive heard him speak but i've read him here and there. you seem to agree with his evaluation here though-- fucked up by the last scene. also he says something similar to what you said about another movie here that you're glad that it exists... i forget the exact words but if i have the chance i'll post it

the b label is traditionally to do with budget and double features so wicker man fits squarely in the definition and that era--a side to "don't look now." while some people equate b movie with "bad" (or trashy or exploitative) i think some of the best movies ever are b. they often take bigger risks and pull no punches and put on the screen a wider range of fears and desires than safe studio shit.

eraserhead for me is arthouse and not b, but duel is definitely b and rollercoaster-great. pink flamingos is.. what the fuck is pink flamingos? it's art by acclamation but it definitely went for mass appeal and i think of it as a great b movie. softcore 70s porn is also all low budgets and kind of historic shit--like empire of the senses. pretty much all science fiction until, probably... 3rd encounters maybe? was b movies. well, no, i forgot 2001. roger corman and troma-- all b's. night of the living dead! all blaxploitation and classic kung-fu movies. most of or the best cronenberg. the terminator may have been too expensive to qualify as a b movie but it definitely came out of that magma--the producer was a corman disciple. invasion of the body snatchers! [i'm still adding to this paragraph as i think o f more stuff]

btw, i cant find piranha ANYWHERE. will keep looking.
