Of course, didn't you recognize him by his hairstyle?

Vegtam, that’s funny.

Ahaha) indeed))

I watched "John Carter." It's a cool movie, very original and unusual. But somehow, it didn't really grab me.

Volke, did you watch it in 3D?

no, at home, lying on the couch and eating ice cream with syrup.

And probably even in the cam rip =D

No, dad finally managed to download at least a BD-rip. Otherwise, what's the point of having an expensive full HD TV if we're watching movies that are only 1-2 gigabytes in size?
Smart guys download/buy Blu-rays.

You should read the book instead.

It's faster to watch the movie.
And what, do you think that movies shouldn't be watched?
You're going to get flamed for that.

You're going to get flamed for this.

So be it.

Besides, books are more interesting.

However, films are also interesting, useful, and contribute to a person's development.

Interesting. I would argue about their usefulness, though. But ultimately, it's up to you.

Alright, let's argue, shall we?
What arguments can you offer to support the claim that they are useless?

I'll start by stating my own arguments. Films are just as much a part of art as books are. Just like painting, architecture, music, and any other field of culture. And just like other areas of culture, films develop a person. Firstly, they convey some kind of information, just like books. They impart knowledge – and knowledge can be gained from anywhere. After reading a good book, you reflect on its meaning, re-evaluate something, and change something within yourself. Who said that this doesn't happen after watching a good film? The main thing is to convey the essence. This can be done in any form; whoever is skilled in a particular area can use it to convey their message. If you're good at drawing, create paintings and convey a message through them. If you're good at writing poetry or books, express your thoughts in written form. If you have a good ear and can write music, compose music. If you can demonstrate your idea through a real-life (or fantastical, it doesn't matter) example and visualize it, make a film.

That might be the case. And people also earn money through movies.
