- When I was little, I watched "movies". Then I hung out with an older
- crowd who watched "films". There is a difference. Movies are fun and
- films are "good for you". Its like the difference between beer and
- oatmeal. Most of the time, I wait for it to come out on video and
- watch it while drinking beer and playing with my cats.
-
- If its dull and you feel sanctimonious about it, tell everyone to see
- it. If you feel a guilty pleasure watching it, don't tell anyone.

- You liked a movie they did not like. It has nothing to do with
- "understand". Alas, they probably did not say, "I did not like it
- and here is why." They probably told you that you were a terrible
- person who bites the heads off small housepets.

-
- Peeve: That folks don't know how to say "I disagree", but prefer to
- think the difference in opinion is attributable to a medical problem
- or character deficiency in the opponent. I mean, God forbid that someone
- who is healthy and sane disagree!
