First Viewing Woes.

There’s
nothing like watching a film for the first time. It’s your very first
experience with something, and after that one viewing, you won’t share the same
feelings with it again. Maybe a surprise won’t jump at you or a kiss won’t
thrill you as much because you know it’s coming. But lately I’ve noticed
something else about first viewings—they can really suck. Sometimes I wish I
could just skip the first time I see a film and go on to the second. For some
reason, I just don’t seem to appreciate most films as much the first time as I
do the second, third, and fourth time. I’ll give you some examples.
