I am sure I've mentioned this here before. From the movie "Survivors", where Robin Williams was playing a bit wacko survivalist (Donald Quinelle) who believed the world was spinning downwards, and arguing about it with his friend and teenage daughter:
- Candice Paluso: Listen, this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but, uh, aren't you guys gonna get really bored out here if society doesn't collapse?
- Donald Quinelle: I wouldn't worry about that. Wes says society is heading for the big "flush". And we're going to be the ones who are clinging to the rim while everything else goes down.
- Candice Paluso: Eeew!
- Sonny Paluso: What're you going to do if things get better?
- Donald Quinelle: Is the air getting better?
- Candice Paluso: That's true.
- Donald Quinelle: The economy? The Middle East? Arts, literature, television, US Presidents improving?
- Sonny Paluso: Anyone can nitpick.
- Donald Quinelle: Sonny, name one thing that's gotten better in the last ten years.
- Sonny Paluso: [Sonny is stumped]
- Donald Quinelle: See?
- Candice Paluso: Video games.
- Sonny Paluso: Video games! There you are.
- Donald Quinelle: Alright, I acknowledge that.
Before anyone starts arguing that (that games have indeed become worse, remember that this movie was made back in 1983. :) Maybe it they made a remake...?
