Movies ruin society

[Chaote]

Im not use about everyone else but I quite often imagina myself as being in a movie while do daily tasks and that a xcamera is there watching, DO othrer people do this? If so I think that movies are making us more alone as people, like we are all so involved in ourselves that we foregt that everyone else is existing too, that there not just extras and costars.

I find that when I'm stoned, if I go somewhere at night such as a
petrol-station, where there's huge blinding light out on the forecourt
I will begin to think that it's like I'm in a movie, and my friends
will notice my behaviour changes and I smile whenever someone says
something, since I think it sounds like it's out of a movie. I don't
believe that movies make us forget that others are existing, as I watch
a LOT of movies and I'm more aware of others existance than I am of my
own.

I am usually stoned throughout my life, and I like it a lot. I think the only way to truly look at yourself and what you are doing would be to step away from yourself and check it out. I can do this completely while tripping, but when I am stoned it is just like I am more, with myself instead of just myself. I canlookat what I am doing while I am doing it more clearly this way. As for movies, though I know of many films that are definately the shit, the movie industry definately plays a large part in our world's social interactions and personal aspirations. I also believe the movie industry is a prime example of why our economy is failing. I mean, I can go bust my ass every day (as I do) on a CNC machine in a glass factory and go to school at the end of the night and never have even close to a fraction of the money that these 'stars' get from doing nothing at all. They create a sort of gigantic unspoken clique, that is mostly fueled by $, I donno, i'm not such a big movie person. Team america was the last one I saw and that was very very very funny.

Actors do a hell of a lot more than "nothing at all."



Not enough for the amount the big ones get paid, though.
