Back Ground Noise

I keep wondering about this. Movies these days are like what religion was in the older days. People tend to belive you when you tell them some thing very exciting like.. i dont know.. you are plugged into a to a computer...that guy there with long hair is son of god.. any thing amazing goes.. i guess its more difficult to start a relious from scrach these daqys coz of advent of the visual media. Or may be all a relious head has to do is make a movie.. saying and showing things he belives in and shows uwhat u stand to gain. May be a 100 years later the new religon is the matrix.
WE are truely in a very weird time...
