Film and Literature

Film and Literature is one of the hobbies in The Sims 2: FreeTime. Its secret lot is Desirable Discourse. It is the one hobby that is not associated with any skill.

It seems to be very rare for a Sim to have Film and Literature as a predestined hobby, due to its assignment being based on having few points in two personality aspects.
