6. You Talk In Movie Quotes
This is interesting, and has arisen partly through the sheer vastness of film in the world. A movie nerd will often find himself talking, whether he is aware of it or not, in film quotes. Its a hazard, but not an easily avoided one, because there are so many films, and nerds watch so many of those films, and it is ergo actually incredibly easy to remember a fair few quotes which are easily deployed in many circumstances that occur in day to day life. Just to be clear on this- this isnt just randomly quoting a film that youve seen lately; its saying a quote which, if it didnt come from a film, would be applicable to the situation and would probably go unnoticed. Its probably a very sad, and lonely trait to have, to shoehorn film quotes into everyday conversation, but as Ive said, there are so many films out there that youre simply bound to come across a number of applicable quotes to general scenarios. A quick scan through my DVD collections reveals films with epithets about- Anthropology; Man is not an animal. We are not a part of the animal kingdom. We sit far above that crowd Religion; Ezekiel 25:17 Alcoholism; "I demand the finest wines known to humanity!" Consumerism; You are not your khakis. Effort and failure; I coulda been a contender. And so on and so forth. It's just far too easy to quote things.
