10 Things You Should Know About Dating a Cinephile

1. We Will Make You Sit Through the Credits

Now, not every one of us is like this. I don't make my girlfriend sit through the credits unless I know there's something coming at the end. Though there are a few instances in which I'm curious as to which special effects companies were involved, etc. etc. In those cases, I do ask that my lady stays. And odds are, you might be asked too. Luckily, you don't have to stay silent and it's a good time to start your conversation about the picture. Just don't look at your date with crazy eyes if they ask to stay for the credits. Pretend it's because they want to spend more time with you if you have to.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
