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?

# Referenced in Design Is Refactoring post http://designisrefactoring.com/2016/02/03/factories/
# This code takes the previous example and extends it. Classes can now define 'roles' they satisfy
# and each class can satisfy more than one role.
#
# At load time, these roles are examined and recorded in registries. 
# In this example there's a CampusLikeRegistry that contains every class that says it's campus-like.
# But you could have any number of registries.

My initial confusion started when I looked at this code:

http://exercism.io/submissions/e3e0acc3148b4f42aed494485ccd0bb8

Specifically this bit

.collect::<String>() {
        ref s if s.is_empty() => return num.to_string(),
 s =&gt; s,
