That watching bad movies is 'bad for you'

There are two arguments presented here. The first is that watching bad movies is somehow boring and awful. The second is that people who say they enjoy bad movies actually enjoy the mocking of those movies and the people who made them.

The first argument can be true, but it depends wholly on the movie and the situation. Watching, say, Blood Freak by yourself is a pretty dire experience that I wouldn't recommend. Watching Blood Freak with some friends and a few drinks? That's a fun shared experience. Years later you can say, "Remember when we watched that movie about the guy who turned into a blood-thirsty turkey?" and have a good time reminiscing.

This isn't just true of bad movies, it's true of all movies, an art form that was designed for the communal experience.

JJHo and JT extend their second argument by joking about reading bad novels or listening to bad music, as if no one does those. So why would anyone do this for movies?
