Please explain and provide an example. I'm just home from a 12 hour night shift.

Sounds like these Suber lessons are pretty worthless.

Hmm, I tend to agree. I'm a half way intelligent guy, but I simply don't gravitate towards movies like Syriana or Good Night and Good Luck or anything overtly political (I know that art in general is political, but that's not what I'm talking about). I'd rather see a straight documentary if I know I'm not going to have any fun.

So....people go to the movies to be entertained? That's quite an insight.
