I do feel that way about sports — negatively, that they're a waste of time and resources that encourage the worst tribal instincts.

But big sports make people happy and they're only expensive compared to individuals, not compared to economies, so I don't try to campaign against what (sometimes little) joy other people can get in their lives.

Films are kinda weird now Starship — a billionaire's vanity project that doesn't have any current reasonable economic purpose (given SpaceX is already 75% of total planet-wide tonnage to orbit not just US) — is getting close to the point that Moon (2009) could reasonably be filmed on the actual Moon for the film's original ($5m) budget.
