I sat in the coffee shop and overheard the most idiotic conversation ever. Three hipsters, all talking and no one listening to anyone else, 'discussing' the movie
Topper ("It was sort of dark," said Hipster #3, and the other two agreed. *buzzer* WRONG), and
American Gods (Hipster #1 described in detail a scene that absolutely did not occur in the book, and the other two fell over themselves to elaborate, all agreeing that it was 'hilarious'). I had to leave when
Big Trouble in Little China came up (one guy was wearing a tank top that was the same as Kurt Russell wore in the movie) and it became clear that none of them had seen it, though all agreed that it was, "Really good, and there were some
deeper themes going on there, too."
My daughter was giggling her head off--said my face got sterner and sterner, then I started to get angryred(lol). Lord, I hate pretension. What's wrong with admitting that you DON'T KNOW SOMETHING?
*whew* Had to get that off my chest. Carry on
