The Egg Roll Theory: There are certain things that a person believes they should like despite evidence proving otherwise. They continue trying said thing occasionally with the same poor reaction, just hoping to like it one day. For me these items include:
- Egg Rolls (of which the theory is based)
- Olives
- Classic movies (pre-1960s)
- NASCAR
- Radiohead
Rewatchability: (made famous by Bill Simmons, among others) which is simply a measure as to the staying factor of a piece. Is it enjoyable the second, third, fourth times through?
Time Limit: factors in the amount of times you will look at your watch wondering when it will end or if you are left wanting more
Twitter Pitch: my take on how this movie/show/album was pitched at a production meeting. 140 characters or less! (Example: Despite not having seen the movie yet, here is what Hot Tub Time Machine might look - "Let's take B-level TV guys, add 80s star, accidentally travel back to the 80s, hilarity ensues! Oh, and it'll be raunchy, gotta be raunchy" or "It's just like the Hangover! In the 1980's! With an even zanier premise! What's not to like!!")
When/When Not to Watch: This is the absolute worst/best time to experience the media. (Example: Do NOT Watch Top Chef with an empty stomach and an empty kitchen.)
