You’re either the perfect shut in that doesn’t leave the house or interact with anyone or anything. Or lying through your teeth to make yourself look cool and hipster to random internet strangers.
It’s been talked about online, referenced in other media.
I know the average Lemmite makes being a contrarian their only personality trait.
Or… and here me out… maybe not everyone has a photographic memory for every scene in every movie that they’ve ever seen going back twenty years…
Or maybe someone just isn’t a cinemaphile and doesn’t watch every movie that receives hype.
And just because you’ve heard people talking about a movie doesn’t mean you can automatically identify every fucking still frame and synopsis point from that movie.
You’re the one being contrarian. Also, apparently according to you the average lemming has at least two "only personality trait"s. Do you know what that phrase even means? Is it your only comeback? Are you a bot, or just not very creative?
If Titanic was some low budget indy film, that would be a fair complaint.
But when it’s one of the biggest films of all time.
Constantly referenced, in the popular zeitgeist for years. Changed movie going for years. If this was Crank 2, sure I would be perfectly ok with someone not knowing. But it’s not.
This isn’t about having a photographic memory for every scene and plot point. (Although if you think you need that to remember the media you’ve watched. Yikes, hate to be you)
At a certain point it changes from “I haven’t watched this so I don’t know” to “I am deliberately going out of my way to pretend to not know anything about this”
That’s being a contrarian, that’s being culturally blind, that’s trying to be a hipster and proud of it.
If Titanic was some low budget indy film, that would be a fair complaint.
So because it had a high budget and was produced by a big-name studio, that somehow obligates everyone on the internet to have seen it?

In other words, hype.
This isn’t about having a photographic memory for every scene and plot point. (Although if you think you need that to remember the media you’ve watched. Yikes, hate to be you)
It’s about recognizing one still frame from the end of the movie, and a vague description of what happened in that scene. You’re doing mental gymnastics to pretend otherwise.

No, some people just haven’t seen it. Or some people saw it over a decade ago and don’t remember that seen. You’re just being a dick because it makes you feel superior.
That’s being a contrarian, that’s being culturally blind, that’s trying to be a hipster and proud of it.
You’re the one being contrarian and pretentious. Nobody is obligated to understand every media reference that you dictate is so famous that everyone should know.
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.
The very post we are talking about explains the scene and doesn’t require knowledge of the film.
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.
Calling someone expressing their lack of omniscience “making cultural blindness their only personality trait” is a wild leap.
It’s bloody Titanic.
If you never heard it seen anything about it.
