"Judge John Hodgman: You have just hit upon one one of the court's greatest pet peeves: people who say "When I go to the movies, I'm just looking for a fun ride." You know why I hate that, Raj? There are things in life called fun rides. They exist at amusement parks. You go on them, and they're fun. You don't need to go to a movie to have a fun ride, you go on a fun ride to have a fun ride. A movie can, of course, provide a fun ride, but I think it has an obligation to provide more, because it can't add what a fun ride can add, which is animatronic birds singing songs, and loop-de-loops, and other people screaming and pouring soda on you."
