The "last movie I saw" thread

[Commando]

My only thought is this: why do otherwise-respectable adults watch comic book superhero movies?

Or read any fiction story, for that matter? I mean-- what benefit could any literary archetype render in anyone's life? Only reading the encyclopedia for me!

[Katy Lied]

Who reads the encyclopedia anymore? Wiki me all day long.

I only read the scriptures.

The scriptures and comic books employ the same literary archetype. How can you read them, being an otherwise-respectable adult?

Touché. I forgot about 1 Nephi 17.

"Do you know what happens to a Laman(-ite) or Lemuel(-ite) that is struck by lightning?"

See John Stuart Mill's "greatest happiness principle", which can be summed up succinctly:

Better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.

I think that's the ignored point here-- who are all these respectable adults posting on a sports board all day, only now bringing shame to their names only by going to a comic book movie?

or what about what I will call the Space Ghost principle: Better to keep your mouth closed and let those around you think you a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt?
