This is the forum thread for Lucas' First Response feature article.

More often than not we know more about the film we are going to see than we need to. It leads to us being conservative in our choices and stops us from appreciating film's greatest pleasure: spontaneously responding to what is happening on the screen.

If you send in your First Responses' I will publish the best of them here. Feel free to contribute First Response's to the forum thread too. What I'd like to do is build up a library of personal responses so that people who want to read an 'alternative' review can find something unusual and inspiring which doesn't tell them how to watch or what they are seeing.
