I can't quite figure out how someone can have "no" interest in the SEs. The movies are, what, 95% the same damn thing? Surely the bits that were changed weren't the only parts you enjoyed?

I'll try and explain.

Imagine a really great meal. Loads of different ingredients wonderfully combined by a great cook. It tastes great.

Now, imagine the same meal, but this time the cook has added too much salt.

Yeah, the meal is 99% the same, and all the parts that I liked are still there, but the change has made the meal inferior to the one I had last time.

And I would have no interest in having that inferior meal again.

This just states it all so beautifully and in no uncertain terms.




JenX is a smart lady, but I would amend her anology to say this: its like having a great meal put in front of you, all your favorite foods perfectly prepared, with a teaspoon of poop on the side.

No matter how good the meal was, would you eat it if there was poop on your plate?
