Love films that are considered 'trashy'?
Well, next time someone's giving you a hard time for it, you can ever so eloquently point out that it's a sign of your intelligence.
The study uncovered that the enjoyment of trash films is related to an ironic viewing stance.
"The data reveal that trash films are, indeed, identified as ‘cheap’ and hence as a variety of low-budget films. At the same time, viewers attribute to trash films not just amusing/entertaining qualities, but also a positive, transgressive deviance from the cinematic mainstream, and their appreciation of these films is coupled with marked preferences for art cinema", it says.
There you go now.
