The Shatner Effect

Distinguishes between films made for a theatrical experience and movies made for television by assessing the performance of the actors in a non-qualitative but descriptive manner. Originates from the distinctive acting style of the inimitable William Shatner. The Shatner Effect occurs when it is obvious a work of entertainment is made for television based upon the delivery of the actors.

You: "How can you tell this movie was made for TV?"

Me: "Note that actor's dramatic gesticulations. Observe the overly tremulous voice. Check out the zipper on that alien costume. The Shatner Effect, totally."

pitchfork effect

A cognitive bias in which a subject is judged negatively as a whole based on a single and often circumstantial component. The opposite of the halo effect.

Bob: You’re going to see the new Sex and the City movie? That’s going to suck!
Kate: No, it isn’t. It’s just you and the pitchfork effect.
—
Bob: You listen to Lady Gaga? How about listening to some real music for once?
Joe: I could care less about your taste in music; that’s just a pitchfork effect.
