In our defense, I usually say it assuming that someone will quickly add the modifier, "looking."

Haven't these people suffered enough already without increasingly stupid labels?

You know it's gonna be fucking Eric.

I started college a couple years after Man on Fire came out and about half of my classmates in film studies and video production classes were super into its editing and I just didn't get it. I'm usually pretty cool with style for the sake of style, but it gets pushed into the realm of prolonged incoherence in a way

He knows just as much trivia about movies that no one gives a shit about. He and Tarantino did a commentary track for Hot Fuzz that was just two hours of them playing, "Well have you heard of this movie?"

And I keep getting flashes of Davos Seaworth from Game of Thrones, but he might be a little too literate for their ilk.

Hot Take: Senator Warren is wonderful! I respect the shit out of her.

I had the t-shirt version of that poster when I was 9 or 10.

The least tired of the tired overused jokes is a drunk person confidently asking a cop, "Is there a problem, ociffer?"

Michael Cimino?

That's Coach Taylor. I would watch him play Oliver North.

Are you talking Coach Taylor or Coach Coach?

Motherfucker is asking style questions and he doesn't even know it.

Sigh.

Then you notice that Deerhoof fans are mostly over 30 and realize you're even more out of touch.

I too would like to proudly declare my ignorance of of a band and studio that have been pretty well known in indie rock circles for for a long while now. I'm out of touch by 2008 standards and proud of it!

I mostly only know from proximity. Some wannabe neighborhood kids tag up my fiancee's building with LK and People Nation tags every once a while and I looked that shit up on Wikipedia so I could seem like an authority on the topic.

They're a violent gang outside of prison too. The Chicago LKs are one of the largest Latino street gangs in the country.

Mastodon probably didn't know the other band existed until this week. Or the lead guitarist spent all of their lawyer money on face tattoos and see-through guitars.

How the fuck am I supposed to know what flavor it is if it's not shaped like a peanut?
