Anyway, I'm much less quick to write things off as merely "bad," especially if I notice that my brain keeps returning to them later without any immediately obvious reason.

On this note, I found the film Get Over It reasonably enjoyable but nothing special. But deliberately or not, the plot has some wonderful strange loops, including one which I've come to think of as a "strange moebius loop", and thinking about it after the fact has seriously increased the entertainmet factor.
