Well i dissagree.. I watch A LOT of movies, I listen to A LOT of music, and i play A LOT of video games...i dont like movies w/ small budgets, terrible special effects, a story that makes no sence and bad acting for the sake that the person had an "artistic" vision... i dont like obsure bands with weird music and song lyrics that make no sence. It might make sence in the mind of the "artist", but to pretend that it makes sence to you is just ridiculous...

Is there any one else?

Did you perhaps mean it the other way around:  "I don't like directors/movie makers who make poor attempts to justify their bad movies by claiming it's their 'artistic vision.'"

Regardless, a bad movie is a bad movie.

I will give you an example.... My friend LOVES the movie Magnolia.... and tells me that its one of the best movies ever.... I do not agree with him because the movie makes no sence to me (nor to anyone else i ever talked to about it).... He told me that the writer of the movie refuses to say what the meaning of the movie is untill he dies.... SO my friend dosent even know what its about... but it is "atristic" and "original" so he thinks its amazing.... This friend went to film school, and now produces movies.... am i missing something here then?
