I'm very happy you liked it. I almost deleted that post because I was afraid the whole thing was too pompous. But I figured, ultimately, who could argue with the sentiment..."Garfield" really was a horrible film.

Put a thousand fruit flies in a box and you can watch the entire circle of life, played out in multiple generations, in a matter of days.
Now, stand back far enough to view the entirety of human existence in one box and the objective eye will discern no greater purpose than the fruit fly. We live, we reproduce, we die. All of human evolution and technical advancement bent to the simple purpose of continuing to exist.
We are ultimately seperated from the fruit fly by one thing; a simple question,
"Why?"
The contemplation of our own mortality is undoubtedly the single factor that has inspired us to become more than the sum of our individual lives. The yearning to outlive ourselves, to defy the inherent pointlessness of existence, to deny the emptiness of the void that precedes us and remains, undisturbed, after we're gone. The human defiance of the finity and futility of life drives the greatest achievements of our species.
Humanity, alone among the animals of the earth, has taken the gifts of evolution and harnessed them to scream its answer to the empty cosmos with soul wrenching achievements of art and philosophy. Those creations of mankind that we experience as a feeling, rising up from inside us and overwhelming our minds with a beauty and perfection far greater than ourselves.
The great accomplishments of mankind that elevate the purpose of our existence:
The philosophy of Aristotle
The architecture of Angkor Wat and St. Peter's Basilica
The art and discovery of Leonardo Da Vinci
The grandeur of the Sistine Chapel and the humble beauty of Van Gogh
The feets of engineering; the great wall of china and Apollo moon landing
All the great works of the most inspired among us, who could encapsulate beauty, wonder, humor and tragedy into discrete works of brilliance:
Shakespeare, Sophocles, Mark Twain, Hemingway, Kepler, Gödel, Newton, Hippocrates, Bach, Wagner, Coltrane, Hume, Kant, Descartes, Tesla, Gutenberg, Frank Lloyd Wright...
...and Bill Murray.
Except for his work on Garfield.
That movie was fucking horrible.
My life is better for having read that comment.

Instead of an Autograph, Bill Murray Gave These Guys a Walk

If so, I would argue that he is a mega-ineffective perv. Talk about Rube-Golberging your way to a lady's fanny!

maybe he's just a mega perv hiding under an umbrella of artistic righteousness

Stupid host, you can see the great barrier reef from space, just because the great wall of china is long doesn't mean you can see it from space. At least not with the naked eye..
Do we really need a channel devoted to what is essentially a movie inside joke? (User Poll by reiwan)
^heh, the Great Wall of Channels stretches from Animation to Wings and was originally made to keep the videobombers out. Now it stands as a testament to the collectives of old.

I wish all news broadcasts were like this... talk about having an enlightened populace.
And we would all have a great turtle fence to rival the great wall as a wonder of the world, you listening Sid Meier?

Wow and they didn't even get an eviction notice. It's really weird for them to compare it to the great wall of China. This amazing Dynasty and then you realize that they just poured concrete throughout the entire thing killing all the citizens.
I'm glad someone else saw that as well. Haha! It is amazing to see this, but yeah... O' the naïveté of man.
