7) Tier F - Bad movies
Fruto de la insuficiencia que representa una única escala numérica que, si bien no es su intención ni es planteada en esos términos, suele considerarse como intervalar, dada la naturaleza de las nominaciones de sus categorías (en general del 1 al 10); opté por construir, a modo de complementación, una Tier list que posibilite un entendimiento más completo de la forma en que interpreto y aprecio las películas.
De este modo, puede observarse el interjuego entre: a) una clasificación numérica común (ordinal y no intervalar), donde las distintas obras cinematográficas adquieren una calificación a partir de criterios arbitrarios (objetivables) pero, a su vez, donde dicha calificación representa una función relacional respecto al resto de las películas de este universo; y b) una clasificación por niveles que permite agrupar, por criterios distintos (pero con igual pretensión de objetivación), a obras de variada calificación según “a)”.
En este caso, el Tier F constituye la frontera entre una buena y mala película, desde mi punto de vista. En este grupo ubico a todas aquellas películas que, por sus diversas razones y defectos, no puedo calificar como buenas; y, fruto de la mala experiencia del haberlas visto, muy probablemente evite tener que revisitarlas en una nueva ocasión.
