My rating system: '1' denotes a spectacular failure, '5.5' an okay movie, '10' a masterpiece that has a considerable impact on how I see the world.
I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

I dunno. I tend to have a certain fondness for "spectacular" failures. Great ambition goes a long way with me.Quoting Melville (view post)

Agreed. The worst films are usually those that aspire to nothing and attain it.
Coming to America (Landis, 1988) **
The Beach Bum (Korine, 2019) *1/2
Us (Peele, 2019) ***1/2
Fugue (Smoczynska, 2018) ***1/2
Prisoners (Villeneuve, 2013) ***1/2
Shadow (Zhang, 2018) ***
Oslo, August 31st (J. Trier, 2011) ****
Climax (Noé, 2018) **1/2
Fighting With My Family (Merchant, 2019) **
Upstream Color (Carruth, 2013) ***
And the best are those that aspire and attain it not aspire and fail to attain it.
All of which is moot really because the way in which Melville was using the term spectacular is completely different from the way in which you two are using it.

He's like Fincher for me: only every other movie is good.
