Stop this shade throwing at a great work of cinema or the bunny gets it. Con Air is a timeless classic and he was totally right.

He judged high art by the standards of high art, and schlock by the standards of schlock.

And for what con air was, he was right.

From what I have learned about this whole show business / movie business / music business game as played at least in N. America and U.K. (?), the whole thing is pretty rigged and works on a "handshake" basis for the lack of a more loftier term. Hollywood , for the sheer amount of global power it wields, is amazing when you think about how its run like a company town & how little scrutiny it gets overall.

I highly recommend watching the HBO series, Vinyl (2016) about a record executive from the 1970s & the music business then. All those radio hits - that were hit and the ones that werent - you've always scratched your head about make a lot more sense when you understand the inner workings.

If a movie isn't entertaining, then it's bad. If a movie is at least entertaining, then it's good.
