how bad did i fuck up?
Relax frog friend you didn't fuck up at all. It's common for film students to name horror movies as their favorite genre. Normally, it's the classics, but by saying you like torture porn you'll seem different and therefore cool.
frogtards
...
Now they all know that they have to be patient with you.
You did good.
>tfw said your favourite movie was Citizen Kane
It just sort of came out
Just come up with extremely dense and pretentious arguments for the merit of movies like Saw and Hostel and you will BTFO everybody in the room regularly.
kek, you fucked up more than OP
>tfw my classmates asked what my favorite movie is I said I don't have one
Did I fuck up?
Yeah, you come off as boring.
you fucked up if you're taking movie classes not watching movies instead
>Say my favorite film is The Thing
>Everyone starts looking at me weird
I said mine was Starship Troopers because I liked the fascist angle. I didn't realize how badly I fucked up until later.
>not trying to hold back your laughter while saying that your favorite movie is Citizen Kane
go for terminator 2 always
Should have said Predator, user.
wew lad
It's alright, I said my favorite movie was Independance Day.
I stand by it.
my man
My actual favourite film is Taxi Driver, but I would never say that
very cliche
>that kid who says their favorite film is 2001 or Citizen Kane
We all know you just put them there because your read it on a list. No one thinks you're genuine.
lol I took a film course in HS and we had to present scenes from our favorite movies. Showed the class the scene in Trainspotting where obiwan dives into the toilet for his opiates that he shit out.
Independence Day is one of the most underrated films I have ever seen.
I said mine was The Seventh Seal. Guess how much pusy I got?
Not really, everyone knows what torture porn is. Just don't come off as a weirdo guy for the rest of the time you're there and it'll be fine.
I honestly wouldn't talk to you anymore. If I ask someone what their favorite music, movie or book is and they say weird shit like "I don't really listen to music", I know you're not the person I want to talk to. The correct response would be, "oh shit man, dude I like all kinds of movies so I can't really name a favorite. I really like suspense movies though, what about you?"
The same amount as your dubs
But I genuinly love 2001
>Tfw you said your favorite film was 12 Angry Men
How badly did I fuck up?
Now seriously though, that "introduce yourself and say some fun fact about you" is retarded as hell. Not even a shy person, but it's wasted time and nobody's gonna remember that.
You didn't, it's a fucking great movie.
>his favorite movie isnt TDKR
>said my favorite was starship troopers
>everyone laughed at me
>hurt stomach so bad
>spaghetti fell out pocket
>crawled home
>never went to uni again
>having a favourite song
I understand you can have a fav book and movie, even a fav music genre but having a fav song is impossible. I have listened to uncountable amount of songs and liking 1 over the other is stupid, plus tastes change with feelings.
>take a film class for easy gpa booster
>whats your favorite movie
>oh idk I like lord of the rings
Dont even care that I come off as a hyper pleb
But LotR is great.
This, but also if they refuse to answer hypotheticals
The only correct answer to that question is Kung Pow.
I know, but when everyone else is giving meme answers like Citizen Kane, saying LotR just comes off funny
autism in the flesh
At my work we sort of do it every morning. Talk about what you did all weekend.
I love my job, but it's kinda annoying that they all judge you if you say "nothing" too much, so they kind of force you to go out and do a lot of shit in your weekends when really I'm exhausted at the end of the week and just want to sleep and relax.
Why the fuck didn't you just say Nightcrawler or Pulp fiction. It's not that hard.
Would Apocalypse Now be too cliche?
>"chungking express or other wong kar wai movies"
>asian art girl im trying to impress rolls her eyes
f-fucking chink roasties..
>I don't really listen to music
I literally say this all the time and no fugs are given. Music is overrated, predictable and boring.
>"Oh that just means you're listening to the wrong music"
>makes me listen to "a good song"
>it's the same shit
every time
a night at the roxbury obvs
Sorry, but you're wrong. Sadly, cinema can never match the grandeur of music. This is because music stimulates the creative parts of the mind, aiding the listener in creating worlds vaster than any camera could ever encapsulate. Cinema will always be a limited medium, since the worlds it presents are by necessity streamlined, as opposed to the free-flowing worlds of music, and as such, no movie will ever be as evocative and apocalyptic as ITCOTCK.
This is also why cinema is a lesser art form than music.
Umh no. The correct answer is "oh geez Rick, I don't know Maybe Rick and Morty but that's not really a movie, ooooohhhh!" (In a Morty voice) Hahah man. That would be epic and awesome.
>white boy appropriating chink movies...
I'm not making a case for cinema, I'm making a case against music. Or rather, giving my honest opinion on it.
Deny it all you want, but you know in your bones that I'm correct. This is why your mom would chase you outside when you watched too much TV, but she would never throw you out for listening to too much Bach. Humans have an instinctive understanding of the healthiness of music. This is also why all cultures in history have music, while only decadent and decaying cultures have cinema.
Is this copypasta? I'm not defending cinema you mongoloid.
What would they even teach you in film study?
Yes you are.
lel theyre force curing you of social autism
if burger, you should sue
Pretentious sounding names for trivial concepts and how to give your completely utterly pointless subjective opinion in a way that sounds objective to a dumb person.
I think my favorite movie is Leon the professional but i would have said something ridiculously pretentious, like saying that i like coming to america is actually an allegory to immigration to the usa and that haves a subtle context where it states the problems of the black community in america
Honestly this, fuck those pretentious faggots
I don't have social autism. I can be social, I have friends, a gf, the whole nine yards. I just really, really prefer chilling at home.
>social autism
As oppossed to which other form of autism? Autism by definition impacts navigating social matters.
antisocial autism
>I know, but when everyone else is giving meme answers like Citizen Kane, saying LotR just comes off funny
LotR is also a meme answer though
Just say your favorite movie, not what you think will make you look cool. It doesn't have to be some art house shit that nobody's heard of.
My favorite movie is Jurassic Park. It's not the best movie I've seen, but it's nostalgic and holds a special place in my heart.
>I don't really watch movies
you did nothing wrong, user. fuck those plebs, thing is one of the best movies ever
I would've said Singing In The Rain. Or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Who doesn't like those two films?
The Thing is critically acclaimed nowadays desu. but I honestly like it too, despite my deep-seeded need to be contrarian
I don't like these two films.
My go to answer everytime. Maybe people think it's some kind of innuendo for dick.
Film theory and general rules, stuff guys like can't wrap his head around. Sad really, it's not that hard.
The only real answer is Kangaroo Jack.
My favorite genre of cinema is war films. Am I allowed to say Band of Brothers to this question? It's not a movie but I like it more than my favorite movie. When asked I say Band of Brothers but also add that if the asker doesn't count that then it is either Saving Private Ryan or Enemy at the Gate.
lol i actually made it up, i got you all
>refuse to answer hypotheticals
My brother was like that, is that a sign of being autistic or just a no-fun cunt? He's a no-fun pretentious cunt.
My favorite movies are the fifth element and alien.
How pleb am i
It's a sign of being mature and non-reddit
>Said the guy posting on an anime website in a thread talking about eating pizza as a snack
How are you expected to name your favorite movie? Does anyone have just one favorite movie?
Teacher should have asked "What's a movie you like"
Next time OP just say what you want to instead of trying to not be autistic.
toss up between Ice Age, Ice Age 2, and Antichrist
wrong thread user
Why the fuck are you guys worried about what normies will think? Just say what your favorite is regardless of other people's reactions. Damn no wonder you'll never be Chads.
oh you sneaky bastard :^)
Never met anyone who actually studied film.
How would they react?
I love this board :3
There was a conflict with my schedule and my film course got bumped. Kinda relieved because I can't stand those film student fuckers
Holy shit user, I never thought someone could ever be THAT wrong, but you managed to beat my expectations.
>what's your favorite movie
>The Outlaw Josey Wales
