rubahSometimes I wonder if I should watch movies I've heard a lot about for a long time (examples that it's too late for; princess bride, spaceballs, blues brothers).
When people talk about something for such a long time, I start to build up a mental image in my head (like people do with books they read before they are filmed), and really even though a movie might be good, and you know this was how it was intended, it's not really what you wanted.
It's good in a way. Blues Brothers in particular was completely way different from what I imagined at first, so now I have full liberty to create that vision in my head and not worry about infringing on it 8)
