Female hipsters are dumb. And meatheads always talk about LOTR. If you go to the Myspace of the guy your ex is banging his favorite movies are always LOTR, Braveheart, American Pie and then A Beautiful Mind to make it look like he's an intellectual.

We just don't talk about neither because we're above that shit.

you guys should go and check those movies again. well, at least the two towers extended edition, which is a monumental piece of cinema and it always works. and of course los tin translation, which I know can become a cliche because every hipster girl likes it but to be honest the film it's in fact really good and tender, and it's fun.

about this category...deep down we all know nolan was the one with the toughest job here.

los tin translation

Ah yes, that classic Spanish language classic in which the orphaned illegal immigrant Estevon learns English from reading the labels of household trash at the garbage dump he has made his home. Be warned: it's a tear jerker.
