Doesn't make it any good though.

Props to them for an original idea and a low ass budget though.

Interesting thought, if you tried to make something bad, but it turned out good, have you failed or succeeded?

failed

you set out to do A and instead made B, you failed

Entertaining isn't good? Or did you not find it entertaining?

Adding "Up" to my list. I rewatched it yesterday and I had forgotten how awesome it was.

Yeah, I forgot about that, I liked that a lot

I don't know... I guess some elements about the absurdity were entertaining enough, but I still wasn't particularly fond of the whole endeavor.

Literally just finished Spirited Away a few minutes ago.

Spirited Away was just kinda... random. It felt like a lot of loose ends went untied.

You appear to mix up "random" and "unbelievably imaginative".

But yes, those loose ends are rather distracting.

failed at achieving your original goal

if your original goal is to have your film be successful, and it makes money, then you are successful in being successful

I recently got around to seeing the film "Her" have anyone else here seen it?

It is set in a near-future world, about love and relations between an artificial intelligence and a human. It certainly caught my attention and was fairly interesting and refreshing, I do have some issues saying it is entirely original but it was quire interesting.

I have heard quite a bit about Her, but never seen it. Sounds interesting though.

Just watched The Tree of Life. I have no idea what just happened, but it looked nice, so there's that.

so if your goal is to not be successful you will either be successful (by not being successful) or you will not be successful (by being successful)

I can't edit my post for some reason but in either case, you have clearly succeeded in some form, and therefore you have failed.

papaya · Post by **papaya** » September 10th, 2014, 2:16 pm

street's point was if you set out to make a movie bad, but instead it turned out good

in that case, you have failed
whether or not the film does any good, you have still failed at making it bad

so, basically, you're just repeating my point good job entity
