Sports in General
I just don't get sports... Football in particular doesn't make any sense to me as a form of entertainment - it's just a few blokes running around kicking an inflatable from one end of a field to the other.

The only thing that gives football any semblance of interest, is the introduction of 'rules', which only really serve to lend structure to the pointlessness of it all.

Ditto Formula 1 - it's just some men driving round and around and around. One man drives the fastest. He is the best of the men.

Following sports is like using Twitter... it's only really important to you and those who follow along with you. Even then, it's not actually important, you've just convinced yourself that it is to give you something to have in common with the others.

I know movies are set in stone and invariable, but I change, so that every time I watch The Shining (for example) it seems like I'm experiencing it in a different way... That for me, is wildly more exciting!

Nicely put about films.
Luckily I can now watch Lost in Translation without crying like a baby throughout the whole thing.

Stupid heartbreaking ex.

if I were to watch Lost in Translation again I think I would cry
because it was so fucking tedious and a waste of Bill Murray's prodigious talent.
