Star Wars ice cream analogies are objectively bad.

Ceci n’est pas une signature.

The funny thing is this little debate about whether it’s possible for art to be objectively bad or not has an objective answer: It’s not.

You must be a big fan of actual shit on a canvas. I’m sure you find it profound, inspiring, and beautiful.

How many do you own? And how do you handle the smell?

None of these stupid analogies change anything. You’re missing the point entirely. It doesn’t matter what you or I think about it. Because art by its very definition is subjective and everyone has their own standards for judging its value, it is literally impossible to claim some art is objectively “better” than others. You can critique it all you want, argue about it, explain why according to your own standards you think it is good or bad, and that’s fine. But at the end of the day, no matter how well-supported and rational it may be, it is still your opinion. Not some kind of hard fact.

I don’t think you understand how the word “literally” works.

Frink, if you insist on being wrong, I guess I will just have to respect that.

I don’t understand how Frink cannot get this through his head.

But is he subjectively or objectively wrong?

Come on, everyone knows it is impossible to be wrong in this discussion. There is an art to arguing on the internet and therefore the whole discussion is subjective. I don’t understand how you cannot get this through your head.

There are certain times where objectivity does apply to art. If I said that the Mona Lisa depicted a rat being eaten by a living piece of pasta, that would be objectively wrong.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OBJECTIVELY BAD FILM

Just the same as:

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OBJECTIVELY BAD ICE CREAM FLAVOR

Flavor would be in comparison to a genre or style. I think an ice cream recipe would be a better comparison when speaking of a specific film.

I never thought of it that way 😃 Even better solidifies my point

Marmite flavour?

No. That’s called describing things. Same as stating that Tom Hanks stars in Forrest Gump. Whether you like his performance or not is subjective.

Do any of you in all honesty believe film is objective?

Which ones, the originals, the new one, or the objectively bad ones?

Shit, I’m ready to talk about the Holiday Special if it’ll stop this whole “muh opinion” discussion. It’s so boring to read.

Well alright…

The Holiday Special is objectively terrible.

Discuss.

Unfortunately there is probably someone out there who likes it for whatever conjured up reason. I would love to see the reasoning for why they would like such a movie.
