I agree, but I also think budget and direction (and all the other skills that are involved in creation) are elements that are worthy of consideration, and especially in the area of "cult" films (Plan 9 from Outer Space or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or Planet of the Vampires, for example, to name three films of widely varying caliber) the relationship between quality and enjoyment are looser than for mainstream Hollywood productions. I'm just trying to say the movie in question can be enjoyed without anesthetizing your higher brain functions.

I see movies, tv and commercials all the time that I don't care for but can still, on occasion, appreciate their production values and efforts. I recognize my viewpoint as being subjective. Yeah, 90% of everything is crap, but you and I might disagree on why something is crap, or what's in the other 10%.

I respectfully disagree. "Nazi" has become a generic term, like "aspirin" or "hell" (in fact it's nearly as common as punctuation at this point, as Godwin observed).

Whoever owns the trademark for "nazi" will have to send out C&Ds if they want to prevent that, though they'd probably have to change it up a bit -- Microsoft Nazi(tm)*, anyone?

* (/. is stripping out the "tm" symbol from my post.)

It isn't. I've seen it, and it's rather good for a $33K (1962 dollars) budget and first-time director. (He'd directed industrial films but this was his first and only feature.)

Copyright is generally assumed for any work that benefits society.

Not true. That's a paraphrase of the Constitutional language, yes, but there's plenty of copyrightable materials that are of minimal or negative benefit to society: The Turner Diaries, say, or [insert completely crap Hollywood movie here].

And of course anyone might disagree about what is or is not of social benefit, depending on their particular ideological/political/financial/social/etc filters. One person's Ulysses is another's 50 Shades of Gray. They're both equally copyrightable, though, and the First Amendment sez that the government can't distinguish between them (the only major exception afaik being if it's something highly classified).

What do you make home-made bison out of? Baco-Bits, cat hair and soy?

I don't know if many humans would be willing to take essential medical advice from a fictional alien doctor, much less one who could probably eat nuclear waste and crap out Daleks. Why not eat some nuclear waste from the pits at Hanford and get back to us on its health benefits?
