Inverse Cost and Quality Law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Inverse Cost and Quality Law attempts to formalize any Hollywood cinema production characterized by a large budget and, by negative correlation, poorly perceived critical attributes. The American writer, David Foster Wallace,[1][2] coined the term and established subject attributes for the law in a 1998 article titled, "F/X Porn"[3] by which Wallace primarily critiques the weaknesses of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), a blockbuster[4] film directed by James Cameron.
