And people certainly shouldn't be blamed for not spending their leisure time on something they don't enjoy because of the misconception that one arbitrary form of media is more "intellectual" than others. If someone doesn't practice basic writing skills, it's because he or she is making the conscious choice not to practice them. It's not because they didn't read Harry Potter last weekend.

But we're veering off-topic a bit. I've never thought that people who enjoy films are inherently stupider than people who enjoy reading/writing. It's just a different art form. That said, this isn't exactly a site for aspiring film-makers, is it?is wikia We are indeed veering off-topic. I read for fun and not too long ago finished a 23 chapter book. I will admit the chapters weren't that long but the fact that I have read that, Catching Fire, and am currently in the process of reading Mockingjay proves that, although there are only a few, people do still read for pleasure. And this is a creepypasta wikia! This place was practically MADE because people were off-topic! i read for fun and im 14 thx to this wikia i go to scary movies for luls also i read all of shakespear last year (dance) success
