BNAT 13 (Wolf) Wrap-Up
Thanks to @HeadGeek666 for inviting Becky and I to his 24-hour birthday movie marathon, once more. I’m not saying it’s our last one, but next year we hope to be managing a 5 month old at this time. We’ll probably be practiced up on sleep deprivation, but it would be odd if we both skipped out for a dozen movies in a row. We’ll tackle that as we come to it, but here’s a summary of this year’s selections including (35mm trailers), [special BNAT video intros] and Q&As.)

…saying that a Negative X intensifies a Positive Y imagines a fairness and balance to the universe that does not line up…
This isn’t what people mean when they say that suffering exists to provide contrast/context to joy. If I show you a graph that displays how much I enjoyed CABIN IN THE WOODS you’d see a chart with a single line. That’s not terribly useful. If I added to that chart a line showing my enjoyment of GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE then you’d clearly see that CitW gave me an incredible amount of joy while GR:SoV made me a little unhappy. If I charted all of this past weekend’s BNAT movies on a timeline then you’d have even more data points and might even have enough data to chart how much joy other movies might bring me.
(Quote above from John Green’s post “The existence of broccoli does not in any way affect the taste of chocolate”.)
p.s. My review of BNAT is still being typed. Now, I think I’ll add a chart.
