Inverse cost and quality law

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. American writer David Foster Wallace coined the term and established the genre's attributes, symptoms or diagnostic features in a 1998 article titled, "F/X Porn" by which Wallace primarily critiques the weaknesses of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), a blockbuster film directed by James Cameron.
