Cinematic Defecit Disorder 

Cinematic Defecit Disorder, commonly known as CDD, is a unfortunate disease that continues to plague moviegoers each and every single day. It lobotomizes their tastes in film, to the point where they're beyond redemption. Please stop CDD :(

Person #2: Collateral sucked, it was boring. Go see Anacondas instead.
Person #1: -_-

Cinematic Fermentation 

A process of when a movie was made years ago, when it wasn't as groundbreaking by critics and/or audience, gradually developed into something timeless over a period of years. A movie from the 80s or 90s that didn't work during that era, but works now in present time.
Demolition Man is a great example of cinematic fermentation!
