I saw The Apartment 4k restoration on the big screen a couple of years ago, the outdoor scenes are incredible. #FilmSky

It's about a cruise ship with a group of absurd characters on board and I thought it would be perfect for them :'D #OFMDfanart

unlabelledView post →It's worthwhile to acknowledge that movies don't all exist along a Good-Bad axis, but also along an axis of Watchable-Unwatchable. The Super Mario Bros. Movie with Bob Hoskins is Bad and Watchable. La Dolce Vita is Good, but I would be hard-pressed to call it Watchable. Morbius is Terrible, but not even remotely in a fun, Watchable way. It's just cold dog shit. And of course all of these categories are 100% subjective relative to the individual viewer.
