"Based on a True Story"

Does anybody else ever stop to think about how boring movies would be if they were based more on real life?

Now, I'm not meaning to get into the realm of "cell phones" and other basic means of communication that should make horror films nonexistent. I'm thinking more like, the Internet.

Think about all the movies you've seen lately. How much of the movie consisted of the characters within the film sitting down at a desk and surfing websites like reddit, College Humor, and The Very Unimpressive? Probably zero of the movie.

I'm just saying, if a movie is "based on a true story," there better be a good portion of the film devoted to a dude staring blankly at a computer screen.
