No deity determines it. Good movies are good and bad movies are bad. I personally believe that Roger Ebert is as close as the world will ever get to a true movie critic but I don't expect you to agree with that either.  |
i know that's the point of the thread, but i felt like arguing anyways. i just don't get those classifications when certain "bad" movies are more fun to watch than certain "good" movies.
as for roger ebert, i havn't really kept track of enough of his opinions to determine how good of a critic he is. i tend to steer away from critics in general. i know what i like, and i go to movies that fall into those categories.
anyways, since i've done enough to bastardize this topic, i'll actually do something worthwhile and contribute to it: i believe that humans are incapable of understanding the greater workings of the universe, and while it's not completely pointless to have a firm belief, the most likely scenario is that nothing we can imagine can really come close to the truth. whatever you believe, theist or atheist or whatever, these are only minute examples that human beings are able to come up with among the infinite of possibilities that we can never even comprehend
