...to put down the movies or TV shows you don't consider to be the best.
That's what snobs do.

I wasn't so much putting down the discussed topics as bewailing the obvious lack of interest in the finer films of this and past eras. I suppose you'd argue it's snobbish to put Antonioni or Tarkovsky above Judd Apatow, but I have to share with you that I'm not alone.
Similarly, I can appreciate great entertainment w/out equating "Downton Abbey" with Shakespeare.
At some point, mk, dumbing down in this country became some sort of "democratic" equivalency.
Ridiculous.
Some things patently are superior to others.
...it's always been that way.
More recently, I blame Fox News.
But where the arts are concerned, that's no excuse to snob up, even if you claim you are not alone.
Most films today are aimed at 15 year old boys - some like grits will always be 15.
Others can still get in touch with that part of themselves and have fun.
Some things may be superior to those who are passionate enough to appreciate the differences, but if you can't tell the difference between Chateau Lafitte and Hearty Burgandy, it just means you are a cheaper date.
Enjoy your finer old films, as you pat yourself on the back with your feelings of superiority in your high brow solitude.
You are an old fuddy-duddy who thinks curmudgeonly behavior makes you something...it just makes you obnoxious.Rx: You need to watch more college movies from the early 80's.

We're waiting.
I'd never waste anything more expensive. And damned if it didn't come out freekin great. We lost the recipe a decade ago and all attempts to recreate it have failed.

up around Asbury Park and such. Two bottles through a straw and you will wake up in the strangest places.

Nowdays, kids are a lot more aware. A 23 year old couple came over this weeknd (the female's parents were joining us for dinner and she and her fiance usally show up as well). They bring over a bottle of Stags Leap Merlot. We were in our late 20s before we even had a clue (but we learned fast!!).
