If we're talking about turds like I am Legend (just saw it on DVD for 7 yuan and still felt ripped off), then I don't blame you for your apathy. I personally hate when people tell me that I should "turn my brain off" when I go to see a film. What the hell is the point of that?* Worthwhile films (including action movies like the Bourne films - I'm not talking about high art here) may not be interactive per se, but they're often open to some kind of interpretation to the viewer. And as for cable news, it's a lost cause. If people were able to engage with these shysters, they'd be out of their jobs in a flash. *I'm not trying to be a film snob - I'm just saying that my time is valuable to me and I'd rather not waste it seeing some shitty comic book adaptation.
