I saw Steal This Movie! last summer, when it ran on some cable channel (back when we had the glorious dish). Okay, first of all, I thought it was really old or something, because I'd never heard of it, but apparently it's only four years old. Here's my question, though: am I sleeping through life in order not to know this stuff, or did I just miss out on a lot of education about semi-recent social movements and the like because I went to a Baptist school? I read the review I've linked above, and I was like, what? Who are all these people who know so much about this stuff that they're bored by it now? Seriously. My lack of knowledge bothers me.

I feel this way about almost everything, though. It's so overwhelming. I don't know how to explain it; it's like being thrown into a room with fifty strangers who know each other intimately and speak different languages that they all understand but I don't. I want to know everything, but I can't decide where to start.

I don't know what I'm getting at here . . . I saw this movie, and it was interesting, and it made me think about a few things that I hadn't thought about before, and introduced me to some people I've never heard of before. But, as it turns out, everyone else has.
