Reviewing

From Lileks, today's Bleat:

. . . So I popped Megamind in the machine and made a bowl of popcorn and said: enjoy. We watched it together, which put me deep in the hole for the evening’s work, but who cares. All the things that slightly annoyed me about it the first time disappeared, and I enjoyed it without reservation. Sometimes the self-imposed need to have a critical opinion is like a Berlin Wall between yourself and enjoyment.

(Bolding mine.) That is so, so true. And it probably goes a long way towards explaining why we enjoy watching movies again and again. Even when we know where it's going we still enjoy the journey.
