    Nobody is obligated to understand every media reference

    The very post we are talking about explains the scene and doesn’t require knowledge of the film.

    If comprehending the post itself is too much? Then you are deliberately going out of your way to make yourself culturally blind, and to be a contrarian to what’s popular culture.

    don’t remember that seen

    It’s the emotional payoff right at the end, not some random scene half way through. If you can’t remember the end of a film, yikes.

    In other words, hype

    In other words you’ve been going out of your way to avoid it because it’s popular and watching what’s popular would ruin your hipster identity.

      It gives a vague descriptor of the scene, and that absolutely does require knowledge of the film. What the fuck kind of mental hoops are you jumping through just to justify your own pretentiousness?

      If comprehending the post itself is too much? Then you are deliberately going out of your way to make yourself culturally blind, and to be a contrarian to what’s popular culture.

      That’s a wild fucking leap, and repeating yourself doesn’t change how irrational it is.

      It’s the emotional payoff right at the end, not some random scene half way through. If you can’t remember the end of a film, yikes.

      It’s literally the least memorable scene in that entire film, especially if someone hasn’t watched it in over a decade or ever.

      In other words you’ve been going out of your way to avoid it because it’s popular and watching what’s popular would ruin your hipster identity.

      I’m not obligated to watch fucking anything, hype or no hype. And just because I don’t watch a film that you’re trying to dictate everyone should see, doesn’t mean I’m “avoiding it so I don’t ruin my hipster identity.” You’re fucking psychotic.

      That’s also how fascists think. “Everyone should do the things that I say everyone should do, and if they don’t then that’s a personal failing on their part.” FUCK OFF.

        It gives a vague descriptor of the scene,

        Which is all that’s needed to understand the post.

        Making this about the film itself just to say you’ve never seen the film. That’s being proud of your cultural blindness

            You’re the one being proud of your cultural blindness.

            Must be hell being you.

            “Hey did you check out that new show on TV?’ really cool”

            “Why would you say that. Now I can never watch it because it’s been tainted by ‘Hype’ from the lamestream. I am a free thinker that will never bow to the pressure to conform by consuming what’s popular. You god dam nazi scum”

            “I forget you’re like this”

            (This is of course assuming you have a job interacting with people)

              Oh yeah, it’s such hell not being able to remember every scene from titanic which I haven’t seen in over ten years. I forgot I’m supposed to rewatch it every 5 years to keep it fresh in my mind, because how dare I forget a film that received so much hype 🙄

              “Hey did you check out that new show on TV?’ really cool”

              “Why would you say that. Now I can never watch it because it’s been tainted by ‘Hype’ from the lamestream. I am a free thinker that will never bow to the pressure to conform by consuming what’s popular. You god dam nazi scum”

              “I forget you’re like this”

              You’re fucking delusional, dude. I don’t go out of my way to avoid films just because of hype. I’m not that interested in film to begin with, and I’m not going to go out of my way to watch something just because of the hype.

              You’re the one being pretentious and trying to dictate some made-up obligation that everyone needs to see something just because of the hype. Are you being paid by the film industry?

              This entire conversation has been completely unnecessary, and it only happened because you’re going out of your way to be a snob. Are you just a troll? Either way, you live a sad life. Doesn’t ruin my day.
