    It’s worthwhile to acknowledge that movies don’t all exist along a Good-Bad axis, but also along an axis of Watchable-Unwatchable.

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie with Bob Hoskins is Bad and Watchable.

    La Dolce Vita is Good, but I would be hard-pressed to call it Watchable.

    Morbius is Terrible, but not even remotely in a fun, Watchable way. It’s just cold dog shit.

    And of course all of these categories are 100% subjective relative to the individual viewer.

      Context also matters.

      Samurai cop, awful. Literally 0 redeeming value. If you watched it alone you’d pissed.

      In a group of friends? One of the most intensely watchable movies you’ll ever see.

      I’ll take a bad movie that knows it’s bad over a movie that thinks it’s good every day of the week.
