That means, inevitably, that we spend more time sharing memes about movies than watching them, oftentimes having us sharing pictures of films we will never see.With the limited time we have on this Earth, that’s fine, since most of these films aren’t worth our time either way. We can thank the brave souls that saw them in theaters for the jokes we share today, and know that, at the end of the day, that’s all they were good for.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});IMDbMorbiusAlmost nobody actually watched Morbius, yet the internet transformed it into one of the biggest movie memes in years.
