People who make me roll my eyes and die a little inside #34


People who say they "like black and white movies". I know I'm not being fair. There are, of course, loads of great black and white movies and His Girl Friday, Sunset Boulevard and Manhattan (oh God, I wish I was watching Manhattan right now) would all be near the top of my list. But there are also loads of shit ones (the b&w classics that are still so popular today survived because they were, you know, classics) just like there are plenty of great colour movies and loads of shit ones. So when I hear people saying they just loooove black and white movies, you know, just generally, all I hear is the wanky film snob equivalent of a dude I once knew who turned me off forever with the immortal line: "I don't watch TV, I really only watch documentaries". I die, I die.

Hey don't knock documentaries :P
People who don't watch documentaries tend to have domestics late at night.
You're favourite co-worker you write about? I bet she doesn't watch documentaries.

Heh, you're so right. She goes right home and watches Two and a Half Men.

God I'm a bitch.
