  1. Coda: I should have clarified, Q is the #maximum possible #watchability.

    Films are, of course, free to #undershoot this mark, and frequently do.

  2. Cazabon's #Film #Quality #Approximation:

    The overall quality and #watchability of a film can be approximated with the following #equation:

    Q = 1 / ((n - 2) ^ 2)

    ... where Q is `watchability` in the interval [0, 1], and `n` is the number of genres the movie is categorized as having in its IMDB listing.

    Action, Comedy: 1.0
    Drama, Thriller, Music: 1.0
    Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Thriller: 0.111

    Note: there's a discontinuity at n == 2, which we avoid by using the value `1` in that case.
