I'm going through files and folders on my server and trying to combine all the pertinent "blog entries" I prepared to different versions of many blogs I wish to destroy, and came upon the following from an unused page in 2002. Instead of deleting the entry, I will post it here. Perhaps I should post it closer to it's actual date, but then, who reads me except me anyway?

"Here you are, supplying logic to a movie that defies it." Eric Roeper 9/22/02

The most intelligent thing Mr. Roeper has ever uttered, and it was to Roger Ebert, after Ebert tried to justify the existence of the American FBI in Vancouver while reviewing the movie "Ballistic" Often critics, and audiences, attempt to "explain" the inexplicable in an entertainment. Too often, I believe, this intrudes on the enjoyment of whatever art is being presented, so I prefer not to "examine too closely" or "interpret" the entertainment I see, and if there is a glaring mistake in exposition (or lack thereof) plot mechanics, continuity, or bad acting, it acknowledges a groan, and I try to let the movie wash over me again with whatever charms it exudes.
