But whatever works for you.You're doing it again. That IS what I'm saying. I'm saying that "what I like" is exactly equal to "great art". In both directions. What I like is, by that definition alone, great art. What is great art is, again, self-definingly, what I like. I like great art. Great art is what I like. There do not exist works of great art that I don't like, nor do there exist things I like that are not great art.I just have to say that this attitude always comes across as tremendously arrogant, though I'm sure you don't mean it to. But what you're suggesting is that people who didn't like the film are A) incapable of understanding what it REALLY is, and B) less happy than you as a result.A) I know my popcorn cinema. I LOVE good popcorn movies. I didn't dislike VH because I don't like popcorn movies. I disliked VH because it sucked.B) My happiness doesn't depend on what flashy noises get displayed in front of me.Sorry, cranky mood. Just venting. Feel free to flame.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
