I watch many films that most people would consider bad. I do not mean overproduced films that critics hate, like Transformers, but just movies that most people dislike for objective reasons. I think watching movies that are of lower quality really inspires me and keeps my brain engaged, thinking of ways to improve the movie, what the director could be thinking and why things turned out the way they did.

Isaac Asimov said that the best source of inspiration for him was through watching mildly interesting movies.

I believe an important part of being a connoisseur in anything is to consume a lot of shit. Do you agree?

I like to watch a range of things. Admittedly I do try to watch lot of quality, but I have no problem watching crap as a palate cleanser. I agree it's interesting to think about what works and what doesn't when watching bad movies.

I think you can lose perspective if you limit yourself to watching only the best. You probably appreciate a good movie even more when you witness firsthand how many others have fallen short. Furthermore, there are plenty of interesting ideas in bad movies even if they fail in the execution along the way.

To be honest, after a few shitty movies i get the idea i've seen them all.
