Not entirely sure where to put this but this is a broad topic imo
I often find with certain works of art music movies that have a reputation of being "polarizing" coming away from them feeling like they were ok at best.
right now i'm throwing @catalog a bone and after listening to The Narcissist 2 last night now listening to Blunt's Black metal and while the former had an interesting vibe and the latter is admittedly pretty sounding...the best i can come away from it is feel like it was "ok"
For movies the ones that come to mind are Michael Mann's Miami Vice(which i didn't finish) and Mullholland Drive(for the love of god do not turn this into an entire lynch thing) i suppose i was slightly more negative on the latter
Its not that i feel like i've come away from things feeling like i had the wrong response more like i somehow circumnavigated the argument entirely, maybe the crux of it is these things are more interesting in generating furious conversation cause of what they hint at or address or its spill over from spaces/communities where these things are a big deal but now it seems like everybody has to have a strong opinion on them when you don't really.
what do you lot think?
