  I will resist commenting on the word "subjective" just because the expression of my particular view on the subject triggered a lot of discussion that I don't want to retread.  (See the Site Journal for the original debate -- from last May or so, I think.)
  But I will say that "I never saw one of those movies from IABBBBM" is the key phrase.  Before Dave got me into watching horrendously bad movies on purpose, I had NO IDEA how bad movies could possibly get.  Understand, I'm not talking about movies that aren't to my taste or that I found emotionally unfulfilling.  I'm talking about incompetently made movies.  Movies where the inarguably discernable flaws are so obvious they punch you in the face.  And yes, if a movie has enough of these, they are indeed so-bad-they're-good, and that's the whole point of IABBBBM.  So your post covers territory IABBBBM is not only intimately familiar with but grounded upon.
  > But i can imagine that some people (of a particular age, intelligence, cultural background, or none in particular...) like that movie.
  Which movie?  Bowfinger?  From all I've heard, I fully expect it to be greatly entertaining, and I can't wait to see it.
