An observation.

If a movie or series is hugely successful, documentaries are made around it explaining the science or philosophy behind it.

E.g. - The Dark Knight, Avatar, Jaws

Why does this happen?

1 - Cashcow. The makers hope to chime in on the success.

2 - Curiosity. People want to know about the reality of the situation.

Reason 1 is as old as the printed work or the birth of the moving picture.

To reason 2, I say this...

FUCK. THAT.

I don't watch a movie to think "Oh? How did these people make up the language on Pandora?" or "I wonder what motivates The Joker..."

It's fantasy. Fiction. You don't have to dissect something to enjoy it.

That's why reality T.V. is strong, and why people don't really enjoy T.V. drama and comedy anymore - They've been overexposed to reality.

T.V. is a way of escaping reality! Like books and radio. Reality T.V. was fine and dandy for a while, but it just becomes a background to civilisation and a show of how utterly awful life truly is! You'll never be famous, or experience things such as this!

You. Are. Dead.

Dead from the neck up! You switch on and tune out. whatever happened to imagination?! It's all cookie cutters and plastic fantastic. People don't give a shit anymore.

Radio plays... Sci-fi... All dying - because the people in charge of the studios want easy money!

WORK FOR IT! Scratch! Climb! Fight!

All you'll have to go to the grave is a legacy built off of the misery and suffering of others, cast in gold.

Wake up! People of the world! Think! Imagine! Dream!
