This could be a required mindset, a chosen enhancement consumed by the audience, or alongside a good riffing of said movie. It may depend on the movie at hand, but the fans will attest that this phenomenon in which they're "so bad they're great" typically occurs with some assistance. Few "bad" and "B" movies find themselves so far down the category's rabbit hole that they somehow transcend to the other side. ![]() ![]() ![]() I would have never been able to get this image if I wasn’t using the #canon 400mm f2.8 that earlier in the morning.

Sharon Graham, the general secretary of the Unite union, said both firms were “continuing the profiteering bonanza”, adding: “The scale of profiteering displayed today by Shell and earlier this week BP is one of the corporate scandals of our times.
