My movie choices aren't random? Well... shit.

This is directed at the multitudes of people who occasionally mention to me "You have to see [insert film here], you'd love it!" without fully considering my tastes in film. I'm not saying that recommendation is a bad thing in general, just perhaps where I am concerned, as I only rarely seem to like movies which other people feel I'm going to enjoy immensely.

If you had made me sit through this, at the end of it I would barely have been capable of giving you a look like moebiusjones gave me after I'd selected the ParaParaParadise song "Tora Tora Tora" for him to play.

What is the purpose of the universe?

I believe that if one could ask that question of any kind of "supreme being," the answer would be something along the lines of "different things to every organism, especially those who tout sentience as a kind of ultimate evolution, so why don't you tell me what its all about?"

The purpose is the same as for any other element within the universe which can be investigated scientifically. That is, the universe is here for us to examine, make any discovery possible and let the resultant work be known.

This can be accomplished by patient, methodical data taking, careful analysis without personal bias, and the publication of the result. Or, by some massive revelation of a type not seen since antiquity. Meaning its hard to understand unless you either get smart or get lucky.

So... tell us what its all about? We're waiting. :)
