For me personally growing up, everyone just steamed them into a wet tasteless mush. This is not the way. Almost all of them are good sauted or baked, even brussel sprouts with a bit of salt and a dash of oil
I think it's more flexible than you think. In my single 20s I was a night owl because I stayed up late playing video games and got satisfaction out of that. Now in my 40s I'm up at 5am because that's when my family is still asleep and no one needs me for anything, and that's a nice if not rare feeling.
I disagree in that I think the movie is hilarious, but I dunno man, there are way too many people in forums like this declaring "Idiocracy was a documentary" so they can feel smart for a moment.
If you watch interviews of Mike Judge talking about it, none of that is the direction he wanted the message of the movie to go. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way" is the theme he wanted. Putting a common man in a situation where they are in a position to do something is what it's supposed to be about.
