Bad movies are a real education because you say "look at that, what was
that close up, those two shots don't match! That performance was so
bad, why did that guy do that? I would never do that!" And so in a
sense while you're watching something that's really awful, you're
playing along and reviewing it and saying "No, I wouldn't have done it
that way, this way's much better".
