Six out of ten, the perfect score

Heat is an unsatisfying film. it's probably a 7 or 8 out of 10.

 

[luka]

dont get me wrong, it passes the time. it's clearly not bad. but it lacks the pure uncomplicated pleasures a 6 affords. its dumb, dont get me wrong, very dumb, but not quite dumb enough. or dumb in the wrong ways.

End of Days. Under Siege. Clear and Present Danger. The 13th Warrior. Ronin. Predator 2. Batman Forever. Stardust. Constantine.

a 6 isn't pretentious. doesnt take itself seriously. knows its just entertainment. it gives real insight into the world by not thinking too much. its unmediated. its pure.

singular or 47?

Very recently I have seen
The mist
Daybreakers
Splice
Horror adjacent thrillers are good for these

 

[Corpsey.]

the mist and splice are particularly brilliant

I watched Legion earlier today which is about a rouge angel who defies gods will and tries to stop the apocalypse by shooting all the other angels with guns in a run down gas station in the desert and it was good but a 6/10 has to be at least a little serious
