Stereotypes of a Film Snob

[RegularKarate]

Also, something's cool while it's new, then when it gets popular, it's not cool anymore, until time passes and it's considered a classic, then they like it again.

Case in point, Pulp Fiction.

I can't wait until I can openly say that I like My Big Fat Greek Wedding again...  

[fulty]

I like My Big Fat Greek...

"You have lovely boobs"
Pause...exactly 2 seconds.
Father smacks son on head.

 Perfect..!!

Also, in Moulin Rouge, 2 old ladies walked out during "Like a Virgin".
That's when it became a classic for me..!!

Nia Vardalos is like the annoying girl in class who got a laugh from some stupid joke so she just keeps repeating it over and over again. It's like, "Hey guys! It's me! Nia! My family is Greek! How funny is that! It's a big family! Lots of Greek people, one family! HAHAHAHAHA! PLEASE LAUGH AT ME! LET ME BE YOUR FRIEND!"

Gimme a break...

i think the reason why it's so popular is because there are millions of people in the world that relate to that, even if they're not greek.  just create something that everyone can relate to and you're golden

easier said than done.

I really was just pointing out that Nia is milking her laughs as much as she can. Knowing that the day when nobody wants her will come soon. Clinging on to fame as long as possible. Oh Nia, I could kick you in the face sometimes...

sorry, all the time.

Film snob = someone who pretends to not like "Die Hard".

awesome. because i love die hard.

and i will also admit that truffaut movies aren't that great!11

i can be a film snob sometimes. i'll yell at someone [half-jokingly] "WHAT THE FUCK@!?" if they said they really liked armageddon or something, but i'll usually stay quiet, unless someone's opinions on a movie are fucking retarded and unfounded. i remember back in high school, i got in a heated argument with some bitch who didn't like boogie nights because, as she put it, "it's just about porno".

dumb bitch.

My g/f's twin sister said Y Tu Mama Tambien is just porn.  So I emailed her all the international awards it has won.  She has never emailed me back.

There are some films that I like that a Film Snob wouldn't.  I like Tombstone, Desperado, Daredevil and Mallrats and I even dug Femme Fatalle.

I do have a tendency to be very elitist in my music/movie views though.

ah man, sometimes its just not even worth it. yourte just wasting youre breath:

i got into this argument with this girl in class because she said pulp fiction didnt make any sense. then at one point she finally admits to only seeing the first 15 minutes of the film.

i fucking hate school

Yeah but maybe saying that "its just about porno" is a tad ignorant. But not all people have to go fo these type of movies, or movies at all. I know a lot of people who loved it but just for the sex and coke.

[bonanzataz]

dumb bitch.

And, please Snappy, this is offensive...

stupid twat is the preferred nomenclature.

[snaporaz]

not everyone has to like boogie nights.

you're right, but - as duck sauce already said - that was just a ignorant fucking comment. i don't care if someone doesn't like boogie nights or not. i remember a friend of mine telling me he didn't like it because it was too predictable [classic fall-from-fame scenario], and that, to me, is a rational, albeit somewhat close-minded reason for not liking the film. and anyways, i didn't tell him shit for not liking it, since he did give a valid reason for not liking it.

all i'm saying is, as i have already said before, is that i won't become argumentative or otherwise "film-snobbish" unless someone's opinions of a movie are uneducated, immature, or otherwise unfounded.

i remember some bastard on another board i post at said he didn't like panic room because it was just like home alone and that jodie foster "wasn't even hot". i ripped into that prick. i mean...foster's hotness is obviously irrelevant to how good a movie is, unless it's some porno or something. and the fact that there was a movie called "home alone" made a decade prior that had a similar plot to panic room should have no bearing as to whether or not panic room is a good or bad movie either.

sorry for rambling, but that's just the kind of idiotic comments i fucking hate when it comes to movies.

[snaporaz]

I know a lot of people who loved it but just for the sex and coke.

oh yeah...that is equally annoying.

 
 


ok, i'm calm.

by the way, bonanzataz...i've been craving some big lebowski all fucking day for some reason.

sorry if that sounded gay.

[moonshiner]

boogie nights was a great, sensitive movie, but it didn't slap you in the face with the emotional aspect of the movie....it kind of felt like a fun movie about the porn industry, and the seventies. that's where people missed the people point and allowed for people to easily be offended by the sex in the movie....of course the same person would hate magnolia, and i can't explain how they could miss the tone of that movie, must be their perfect life.

the easiest way to point out a film snob is the person that just won't watch a certain movie because they "know" that it's gonna be bad.
