I've been following, and sometimes contributing to, this sub and.. although I acknowledge that most of the times, the posts are on point, sometimes a "cult classic" or a fan-favourite shows up. For some, Lucio Fulci's classic output is good, for other Neil Breen is an auteur. I definitely appreciate the variety of human perception and I really enjoy r/badmovies.

Since the definition of "Bad" (or "Good") is quite subjective and, after all, some movies have "A face only a mother could love" ("Ogni scarrafone è bello a mamma soja" for the italian readers"), I've been wondering what really makes a movie bad for you.

Is it the pacing? The production values? The acting? The unwatchability? The amateurish practical or digital effects? A mix of all these things? What really makes you feel you're experiencing a stinker?

As for me, I know I'm experiencing a bad movie when I want to stop it right away, or get out of the theatre. Lately it happened with "The Bride!", who got mixed reviews: some love it, some hate it deeply. ...but I could watch "Jack & Jill" or "The Room" all day. My theory is: really bad movies are somewhat entertaining, bad bad movies are just garbage.

Ps. sorry for the wrong flair, I couldn't find anything related to the nature of this post. Hopefully I'm allowed to ask such questions :)

PPS: thank you for your contributions, some of them are really interesting

... Just two days before an upgrade would make me eligible to get 14.

Wrote to the staff to ask politely for an "exception" (I've been a supporter for the last 20 years after all), but no words from them. Nothing, so I take it as a NO.

Do I have a chance? Is anyone in a similar situation? It's not just for the money, it's an issue of principle. And the silence on their behalf, well...

is still possible in 14... In the 00s easter eggs were pretty common (Cool Edit and Audition had some really good ones).

At any rate, are there any other hidden jokes in Reason's modern versions that you discovered?

Mac M4 Sequoia, no dedicated graphic card

Whenever I try to import files from custom locations (like Desktop or Downloads), the app crashes istantly. Has anyone experienced the same issue and maybe found a fix? Thank you

Before updating, the battery life on my unit was stellar... After the latest update, it's the opposite. Tried the usual tweaking (background update, etc.), even keeping it in "Battery save" mode drains it really fast. I noticed that "adaptive brightness" was consuming a lot, but even by turning it off nothing has really changed.

Is there any way to fix this?

PS. highly unresponsive touch screen too... But that's been an issue since 4.0
