109. I love them so much. For some reason I love Jemaine a little more, though. I think it's those big giant lips and jaw...

117. Lol I really find this mentality completely ridiculous. People like what they like, it doesn't mean they're stupid if they don't like something, and it definitely doesn't mean they're smart because they do. People like shit they don't understand all the time, because they're pretentious and want to seem smart. I found the second two Matrix movies completely uninspired and faintly ridiculous. The first one was exciting and the ideas were creative. The second two weren't even memorable for me. I don't take this as any evidence to my intelligence at all. I take it as evidence to my taste in movies. I don't like action movies that have no deeper substance to them. The second two Matrix movies didn't seem to have anything substantial behind them, they were just "oh look how badass Neo is, let's count how many seconds of ~intense silence~ Keanu Reeves puts between each word!"

135. I always took him as one. Which is why I never bought her ~nice Slytherin~ excuse for him. But then, perhaps his love of Lily was another "omg Lily is the most amazing thing in the world everyone should love her forever because she is omgsoperfect!" thing.

145. Sigh, I'm dying for a Kutner ship. He's the only one who hasn't had any attention at all so far, and he's so goddamn cute.

146. ME TOO. It helps that they're two of my favorite pretty boys who go scruffy (http://i41.tinypic.com/9hhpx3.jpg) when they're not in costume.

160. You can keep Edward, I'd rather have Rob. Especially scruffy beardy unwashed (http://www.robertpattinsononline.com/gallery/albums/uploads/photoshoots/2008/VMAN/VMAN3.png) Rob.

So it's wrong to say people are stupid because they don't like something but ok to say that people who like something are trying to seem smart i.e. are stupid?

Nope. I didn't call them stupid, I called them pretentious.

I took 'trying to seem smart' to mean that they weren't actually smart as you'd used the word pretentious already. But then again, it is 2.50am and I should probably be sleeping off my dental surgery.

I tend to think people who feel the need to prove their intellectual superiority with their love of the Matrix movies as the only evidence... are probably not as smart as they think they are. And perhaps it was poor wording, I didn't mean that everyone who likes the Matrix movies is like that or everyone who likes anything they deem "smart" is like that, I meant that some people who aren't particularly intelligent do like things they don't even understand, because they want to appear intelligent to other people. Which is why a person's taste in movies or even literature or academic subject or anything else for that matter isn't a good way to judge whether a person is smart or not -- I can say I like philosophy or astrophysics or neurosciences all I want, it doesn't mean I understand them and it doesn't mean I'm more intelligent than people who don't like those things.

Edited 2009-02-21 02:58 (UTC)

And I didn't say that everyone who likes something is trying to seem smart, I just said that people do it all the time i.e. frequently.
