Free Screening Syndrome

The human brain's ability to enjoy a mediocre or worse film way more than it should because said film was screened in advance or for free.
"George said that flick was really good, I thought it sucked."
"Yeah, but he saw it like two years ago when they were testing it. He thinks he's special. Free Screening Syndrome."

screenwriter

A person who writes scipts, that is, the dialogue and actions of a movie. First drafts are often quite different to the final script which becomes a film, but the plotline usually stays similar.

Compared to directors and actors, screenwriters are way down in the food chain of fame, recognition, and money.
