Learning the difference between

  • it’s bad (affectionate)
  • it’s bad (craftsmanship/quality)
  • it’s bad (I don’t like it/it’s not for me)
  • it’s bad (promotes or perpetuates harm directly)
  • it’s bad (actively benefits missing stairs/bad actors)
  • it’s bad (seems to have nothing to say/incoherent)
    And
  • it’s bad (has not aged well, regardless of quality at time of creation)

Has been a big step responsible for a huge element of personal growth and it all started with “ok but WHY do I love bad movies so much” im not even kidding

Anyway more people should have their own personal Manos or Six-String Samurai on their list is what I’m saying

There's also:

  • it's bad (just ok, middling, etc but came out around the same time as something that does what it's doing better/that you like better)

  • it's bad (ambiguous negative feeling you can't explain)

Sorry, I have one more:

  • it's bad (other people have been talking too much about it and, despite being potentially interested in it, I am now exhausted by the meer mention of the thing so I hate it.)

in reply to @dwoboyle's post:

At first I was thinking “that last one is covered under “don’t like it” already” but then a switch flipped and you know what you’re right, “ambiguous negative feeling” IS different, right up there with “by all accounts I really should like it but for some reason I don’t”

Really good list additions
