When I DID finally see the movie, I don't remember what I thought of it, so it must not have been that impactful. That is, I suspect it didn't hold up over time beyond some simple entertainment. I was probably happy to just check it off of my movie list.

Then again, I see that a favorite show of mine, (the first few years of) "The Simpsons", has an episode about to re-run which heavily references that movie--I'm glad to have better-understood the comedy in it.

Forgive me, "famous". I was born when the movie came out, only seeing much later. I took it as conceptually facing a weighty adulthood decision where one can choose a stable, profitable, comfortable life path, but a path that is also boring and perhaps even soul-sucking.

Funnily, I face this daily: I'm able to make good money in various technical jobs, but I don't... Instead, I chose a path where I like the people, the company, the goals, the short commute and the technical/non-technical freedoms. But I cringe a little when I see what everyone else claims to earn (backed by the employment ads I see).

I have seen a couple of them on TV. The 1-hour shows have been interesting, but unfortunately a bit slow with the "information", having frequent emphatic pauses and music... If this were on YouTube or something, I'd try to speed it up.

I see your link points to the episodes on-line, along with a speed-controllable video player. That would be better, but I don't know whether they force commercials there.
