So, I watched a ton of movies in a short time over the holidays, and it got me wondering: what is it that makes a person like a film? You can go into a movie that seems to have everything you want -the right genre, your favourite director and actors, a brilliant concpet- and come away cold. And then you can see some minor little work, something that seems like it'll turn up in dvd sales bins for 7.99 soon enough, and feel absolutely struck by it. Has that happened to you?

Well, it happened to me with 9. I think 9 is a great movie. Will it get a lot of acclaim in years to come? Does it really, objectively, deserve a lot of acclaim? I don't know: but it resonated with me, somehow. It's a mysterious thing, liking movies.
