Imputing values on abstractions.

I like them for what they are. They are not trying to be anything else and I don't pretend they are. They can be fun spectacles and great for fans who are invested in the worlds they conjure up. They are not beyond critique.

And I say that from the perspective of being an aficionado who appreciates film as art, also.
