		I have a hard time relating to characters with personalities that just can't exist.  I can only get sucked in if the characters are believable, even if they aren't human.  For instance, I could never enjoy or get sucked into "Blade", because the characters are barely alive.  However, I can get drawn into almost each and every character in Lord of the Rings.
	
	
	
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
