Movies are lame!

You know what's lame? Movies! You know what's lamer than movies? People who spend crap loads of money to watch a lame movie! For instance, a few months ago "enlightened" college students decided that it was well worth spending $8.75 on Jack Ass 2, even though they could essentially watch the damn show on MTV for nothing. What's so lame about this you might ask? For starters these baseball cap wearing, nacho loving dudes and their shallow girlfriends are wasting time and money watching a group of 30 something year-olds act like high schoolers! Wow, that is so cool! It's so awesome to see grown men act like children! You know what's even more awesome is the fact that they get paid crap loads of money to do it. It gives me a great feeling to know that a group of no-talent dillweeds can make more money in a year than most people make in a lifetime for acting like children. KICK ASS! Maybe I should make my own Jack Ass video, it could make me a millionaire.
Recently, moviegoers young and old alike flocked to see the Jumanji rip off A Night at the Museum. The biggest irony about this film is that it's destined to be forgotten, despite having a huge box office. I'm sure many people will buy it when it comes out DVD; but I'm also certain that it will collect dust on many shelves! The DVD will contain all sorts of special features that no one will watch, but will have been the main reason why they bought it.
I hate movies! OK, this a huge exaggeration, but I'm not in love with them like I used to be. I think the age of the DVD has killed the magic movies once had, because we all know how they're made. It's hard to get excited over a film like Peter Jackson's dreadful remake of King Kong, because as good as the effects might have been, every one knows how they were done. There's no magic behind it, instead it's all computers!
