I could get someone finding stories like 'The Mist' & 'The Best Of All Possible Worlds' kinda underdeveloped--they do not spell everything out for the reader--although I find that quality suggestive & evocative and I think it engages the reader more so as to make the connections & conclusions.
(I can also get people finding 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY slow, despite it being perhaps my favorite movie.)
Never have seen 2001 but I just got around to watching Jaws! Best double feature I went to see as a kid was "Deliverance" and "the Exorcist"......or more like traumatized for life!
It wasn't until my forties I built up the courage to watch DELIVERANCE 'cause I knew about that one scene & I knew I wasn't going to like it... and that's even after watching PULP FICTION...
