Rejection of the mainstream, uncaring of other people's opinions, not paying attention to racial differences, generally not following the typical behavior associated with whatever stereotype you're pigeonholed into, and even just using mostly secondhand clothes/stuff.
...No, I'm not a hipster. That would put me into a subculture, and that's just too mainstream for me. ;p Although one of my favorite places in the world is hipster central. Really, the whole neighborhood is. Ha. |

I finally got around to seeing The Expendables and I really enjoy all the little insider jokes being tossed around. It was good for some mindless action fun.

Perhaps there is some important aspect of "great" film that I'm under- or mis-appreciating because I did not like "Mulholland Drive" and that was also, apparently, amazing. |

I agree with you on Mulholland Drive after it was finished and I was like? that's it? why? what's the point? another example of visual masturbation from a pretentious director.

Just saw ''The Social Network'' yesterday, I thought it was quite good. I didn't have much expectations but I was pleasantly surprised by it. I thought it came of as believable and touching. A great performance by Jesse Eisenberg (lead role).

I can understand how, when I initially phrased my opinion of the film, it sounded as though I was acting as some sort of great authority on film quality. But I think a lot of people fail to realize (stuntcough) that it IS simply my opinion, and I'm perfectly aware of the fact that I'm NOT a film connoisseur and that I don't watch a lot of film and that my opinions hold very little, if any, weight to anyone but myself.

I used to think Taxi Driver was a bit **** as well, very overrated until I got older (I watched it for the first time when I was about 13). I watched it recently and loved it, the way its filmed is so gorgeous.
