Will Ferrell double-feature

The TV in the delivery room had a movie channel, so during the long wait we/I watched (ratings are based on how engaged I was):

About half of 13 Going on 30 ***
National Treasure ****
The Bourne Supremacy (I drifted...) *1/2[?]
The Break-Up **1/2
Blades of Glory ****
Elf *

I read:
Nearly all of The New Yorker with the Jonathan Lethem story "The King of Sentences"; it also had the Malcolm Gladwell piece on IQ tests. ****
Nearly all of the Harper's with the Ben Marcus story ****
Some of P.G. Wodehouse's Lord Emsworth and Others ****

Conclusion: Literature is better than movies?
