16 Reasons Why Being A Film Buff Secretly Ruins Your Life

3. The Work Of A Film Buff Is Never, Ever Done

So you've just watched Once Upon A Time In The West, but you realise that you've accidently missed some of Sergio Leone's earlier movies - and now you also need to watch the movies that Leone was playing homage to in Once Upon A Time In the West, which means there are, like, twenty or so westerns that you need to catch up on if you are to fully appreciate the movie, right? Not to mention that there are classic Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson performances you've totally neglected until now, and didn't Quentin Tarantino say that Days of Thunder was like a "Sergio Leone movie with cars?" Gotta check that out also, I guess! Why don't you blow your brains out, whilst you're at it? That might bring some sweet, sweet relief, after all.

2. It's The Inherent Mission Of All Other Film Buffs To Be A Better Film Buff Than You

Film buffs don't like one another, because the worst thing that can happen to any film buff is to encounter somebody who knows more about the cinema than they do. It's best to hang around in circles of people who know absolutely nothing about film, thus assuring your place as King of Movies amongst the uneducated peasants that are your friends.
