Preposterous But Strangely Compelling

I watched a British thriller called The Suspect based on a headline describing it as “preposterous but strangely compelling.” It was, and I enjoyed Aidan Turner sustaining intense confusion on his face. Then I started thinking “preposterous but strangely compelling” is a very good category. It may be all I want to see and make.

The other day I searched online for Goya's painting Saturn Devouring His Son. DuckDuckGo returned this:

What a bounty of Preposterous But Strangely Compelling! I had a good time imagining all of these lives conjured from art print sellers' automated image generators.

I taped up Saturn Devouring His Son on the wall in my studio so I could think about it more, but it lives among many images so the impact is not outrageous. Now I am enticed to print it big for our living room.
