We've all heard this. Someone so shocked that you haven't seen the same dumb movie they have. No, I don't care about some lame movie that is not even required viewing. And the worst is when you turn the tables and bring up some amazing movie that they've never heard of and they look at you strange.
shareCool story, bro.
shareIt surprises me when someone says they've never seen Star Wars (either one of the films new or old films) BECAUSE they play the films ALL THE TIME on May 4th on Star Wars Day and all the time on cable. And with Disney+ the films are on their so theirs no excuse. They either DON'T want to watch it OR they're just too lazy to watch em. It's just sad.
shareMy wife has never seen any of the Star Wars films and this is from a guy who has a set of ‘lightsaber’ chopsticks.
shareSome people just don't like Sci-Fi.
shareI’ve only seen the first three. I can’t count how many times I saw the first one in the theater. After I saw it several times with my family there was always a friends parents bringing everyone.
shareI have never seen Episode II, III because Episode I was so bad I refuse to watch it's sequels.
I skipped Episode VII at first as well, but when Rogue One was released I, out of curiosity, watched it in theater and I liked it. I then watched VII on DVD.
Expecting greater things I enthusiastically went to watch Episode VIII and man it's even worse than Episode I. I was so disgusted to watch anymore Star Wars movies. So I have never seen Solo and Episode IX and I may never will.
Call me lazy all you want, but for some of us they are the lazy ones.
My brother and I have a running thing where if the other hasn't seen/heard/of something we do a cartoon double take, pull a wicked incredulous squinting, one eyebrow up, nostrils flared to inhale the fumes of one's own superiority, eyes rolled back, eyelids flickering, lips pursed with the corners curled up in a mixture of smug disgust, trying not to laugh at what kind of an idiot hasn't seen this, and go, "Hff... Heh... You haven't seen that? Kffpff... Uhhhh..."
shareI twist balloons as a side business. Inevitably someone will hit me with the "Make me a bicycle" line. Imagine the looks on their faces when I say I've never seen the movie Wedding Crashers.
shareI had a black coworker in his 30s who said he never saw Star Wars and I asked if he knew the pop culture references and he said he didnt think so lol. I was all like "whaaaaaaat?"
shareThese days it's more a case of: "What? You DON'T WANNA see that movie?"
Recent examples:
Terminator DF
The Rise of Skywalker
John Wick 3
Avengers: Endgame
You reach a point where the mind numbing sameness of every franchise movie just turns you off...
What? You DON'T WANNA see that movie?
shareI avoid anything with the Marvel name attached to it. People can say what they want.
