Entertainment doesn't affect my life in any serious way. Sorry to disappoint you.

Yes movies are mostly for entertainment, but a good movie has the ability to make you think (12 Angry Men) or inspire you (Gattaca) or give you more appreciation for the things in your life (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

I never said I don't learn anything. I just wrote that movies, games and books don't affect my life in any serious way. And that's a good thing. We have to know the difference between fiction and the real world.

Michael Mann said: "We can learn things from drama about the human experience in a much more profound way, because it’s so dimensional, it’s about our feelings, it’s about all the multi-layered, multi-faceted ways in which we are, then we ever can from a facts report or from news". Any learning affect the life of the people who want to learn, but, it's also true that we must know the difference between fiction and the real world.

Eragon, because it's such an outstanding example of a pioneer of original fantasy fiction and has some of the finest actors I can name in it (except Jeremy Irons, who didn't even try).

Didn't teach you how to spell though. Common problem with that movie.

The Shawshank Redemption, American History X, Remember the Titans. Movies that make you think about certain things.

It made me want a mirror in my bedroom. 'Don't just look at that ass....'

FWIW, I stopped watching that after one minute, because of this.
Then I decided to give it a fair shake and watched the rest... wherein the speaker talks about exactly my linked rebuttal in the last minute, and then says, essentially "no, because... I don't want to believe that." So he sets up his idea and then tears it down himself, but then chooses to ignore his teardown based on... nothing. I've come to expect better of you, xarabas! ;)
It's been a theory of mine for a while that "God" is random. Literally. Not "His" actions, but the existence of randomness itself is "God", even if God is "sentient" -- randomness would give it capability to influence, literally, everything. (I'm an agnostic, it's just a theory, and as far as I know God still can't be proven one way or another (and anyway, doing so would remove Faith).) And so back to the video -- Randomness could just as easily be a manifestation of "free will" in all things.
I don't really want to get into a religious discussion on these forums, so this is my only post on the topic. I know you like to think deeply, xarabas, so if this is a thought process you've already covered, cool -- if not, I hope you're entertained by the ideas. May the RNG begift you! :D

That might as well be a verbal representation of behaviouristic patters for said quantum particles and meta portrayal for inconsistency within them.
I think that the whole example of God in that segment could not be taken seriously, rather than any other opposing force in comparison to physical laws. My assumption is that David Sosa used it because it's very much simplistic and more people can relate to it. With that said, i don't see any (semi)religious context in that clip as i believe it shouldn't be one.
In any case, that is a thought process which is very well behind me

Lost. It just did. It told me I should be grateful for everything/one I have.

I'm not sure about the -most- impact, but "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Deep Impact" Are up there. Not everyone gets their happy ending, and no matter how well you prepare you and those around you may lose a lot along the way. All you can do is cling to what remains and work hard to keep the fires burning. (Both physically and metaphorically).
