Oftentimes it is difficult to give something a second chance when it is easier and more comfortable to resign oneself to a pre-established opinion. For example, it is difficult for me to overcome my opinion that Colin Firth is a terrible actor, because the first movie I ever saw him in was the horror movie [...]
