Unfortunately, it’s not on Netflix streaming in Costa Rica (and Netflix South Park is dubbed into horrible Spanish voices), but I’ll see if I can get it when I’m in the US.

I do get what you’re saying about group work, at least until you got to the part about “Storage Wars.” I guess you could write a review about that show??

First of all, this wonderful flick is available on Netflix instant stream, or I'm sure you can rent it or buy it anywhere.

Second, feel free to recommend movies to me anytime. I just might not watch them. Haha.

Third, my analogy from school group learning is probably based more on practical experience. I don't know how much group learning you had when you were in school, but it seemed like it was kinda “up-and-coming” when I was growing up. The idea was to get kids to collaborate and be social. What always ended up happening was one person would do the work and everyone else would sit and watch, while talking about… I dunno. I'm sorry, I'm really distracted by “Storage Wars” right now. The point is that in the old days you actually got evaluated based on performance, and if you didn't take pride in your work then you got your ass fired. Now, if you don't take pride in your work, you get a raise. I'm not kidding, Storage Wars is messing up my world right now.

I hope that made some sense.

First of all, where did you get this movie? Internet, video store, friend?

Second, I think I probably don't recommend movies to you, but I know I definitely take your recommendations on books, movies, and music.

Third, I liked the quote about perfection. I'll have to ponder that one a bit. Your asterisk paragraph was also an interesting thought. Where does the line between pride and arrogance begin, I wonder? I'm proud of things I do, although maybe not of things I'm striving for, since I've not accomplished those things yet, and I feel it'd be dishonest to be proud of them. But maybe I'm misunderstanding, or using the word in a different way. I was a bit confused with the school group learning analogy at the end, but I do agree with the idea that group learning won't help individual excellence.

Maybe you're saying that we just do a shitty job with stuff, and good enough is good enough, so that's why we're actually pretty lame?
