Re: I agree. Camilla Send a noteboard - 11/10/2011 07:31:26 PM
if it were an ignorance of Hollywood or Hollywood gossip, but I am with you on Burgess not fitting into that at all.

Good point.

The whole thing annoys me. I definitely think that books should not be included in the "What? That's popular culture, why would I know anything about it?" reaction, especially not if they might have ever been discussed in school. But I also find it unlikely that any genius (I'm thinking of The Big Bang Theory here in particular) would be able to be super-informed about nerd movies/games and not have ever encountered any "regular" flicks. I can understand not knowing current Hollywood crap, but any modern person will at least have seen the previews before LotR or Star Trek, etc.


I have officially given up on Big Bang Theory.

It's not about them being expert in everything. Just not devoid of basic pop culture knowledge. Rebekah - 11/10/2011 08:17:24 PM 487 Views

The guy in Big Bang Theory, the ultra-dorky one, is knowledgable about everything *NM* Aeryn - 12/10/2011 03:37:27 PM 234 Views
True, that's the other extreme and maybe just as unpleasant. *NM* ironclad - 12/10/2011 04:01:10 PM 202 Views
