I grew up on the movie (and the sequel, but only the first one). I hadn't thought much about it since those days, so this connection to Buddhism is new to me (and rather interesting). I've read some reviews of the book which I think I would like to read someday. Given what I have learned about the Hero's Journey, and religions such as Buddhism, I think it might be an interesting read.

As for that video itself, I actually don't know where they were trying to go with one character being overly dramatic and the other being dismissive - whether they were trying to support what they were pointing out or if they were just making fun of it, or both for some reason?

I think it's safe to say every one of us knows someone like each of those characters (and if you don't, it's probably you).

It's not the same without the distortion from the worn out VHS.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

A neutron walks into a bar, asks the bartender "How much for a drink?"

Bartender says, "For you, no charge."
