I saw “The Wolverine” this evening. These are my off-the-cuff notes after seeing the movie.

Caveat I say off-the-cuff because I don’t take a notepad to the movies. I don’t dissect them. I basically watch movies for escapist and entertainment purposes. And when I’m done, I reflect on the themes, messages, and emotions that came through to me, and, by the very nature of the beast, to me only.

Too many people read reviews as if they think the writer of said review is positing his reaction to the film as “movement canon” – whatever “movement” or “stream” he may find himself in, whether that’s Traditionalism of the simply surface level movie reviewing business.

I carried a lot of worthwhile messages with me out...
