After listening to another KXNO spot on Murphy and Andy on CW's lack of knowledge of movies, I think we need a thread on this discussion. They went threw 10 popular movies with too many from the 80's. I think that I also got only 3 correct although I at least sort of recognized a couple of the others but didn't know the name. Movies can be a good way to socialize with people and waste some time but they are entirely overrated. If I want to watch a movie I don't give a hoot who the actors are as I am watching the characters they are portraying.
You are NOT more "cultured" just because you know a bunch of movie quotes. Being cultured means you understand and can relate to different people of the world with different cultures. It does not mean you know a bunch of things about FICTIONAL movies. Having an educated view point on history, science, politics, art, and being able to engage in debate represents a cultured person. Ok, I"m sure most people will disagree but what else is new. /End Rant
