Nope, I truly live under a rock when it comes to those.

I've been wanting to watch the big ones (Hobbit, LotR, ...), but – and I say this with no disdain:

I simply cannot get myself to consume hours upon hours of somebody else's fantasy – when I could instead be shaping my own reality.

How about short jokes, or Unix fortune files?

By "shaping my own reality" do you mean taking hallucinogenic drugs?
