No, what i mean is, uh, that I enjoy the intellectual exercise of considering the angles.
What I meant by my post was that i saw the movie the (admittedly simplistic) way that i did because that's the way it works for me. Reading a script, early draft, review, or interview, doesn't actually affect my enjoyment of a film because i'm still hard-headed enough to read the film the way that makes it work best for me, and that also holds true for discussions AFTER i have seen the film. I guess it's related to people's varying interpretations of poetry or Shakespeare not having any adverse affect on my enjoyment of the art. sometimes it adds facets, sometimes it does nothing.
