I'm seeing a heavy amount of thermal bridging potential in both the plastic itself and anything it contacts to where I'm not seeing how a similar air gap created by a solid piece(shrink wrap type stuff for example) of plastic wouldn't be better than this. Not to mention more light(and heat) would likely get through and away from the window rather than absorbed by the plastic.
People might think you are slightly less weird too, unless you are going for that. It might be worth testing before getting too carried away with bubble wrap.
