Ok, have your time ;)

Standard answer : This movie player is for people who read manuals.

Believe it or not, but when I found 'man', I ran it on all the commands
I was about to execute. :)
And :

$ ls -l /bin/ls
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        65318 Oct 29 12:26 /bin/ls
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/mplayer
-rws--s---    1 root     root      1449220 Nov 26 19:39 /usr/local/bin/mplayer

You don't have to read the manual for a water squirt gun, but you really should
when handling a thermonuclear warhead. :)
