It seems I've gotten my blog due dates confused...
When it comes to knowing nothing about famous movies, I seem to be THE guy to come to. I've not seen Forrest Gump, or Pulp Fiction, or any of the Godfathers, or Scarface, or any Rocky past the first one, or Up, or Avatar. More relevant to the prompt, I've not seen Harry Potter 4, 5, or 6, and I've only seen the first episodes of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars (as in Episode I, not Episode IV). I haven't seen so much as a single episode of Star Trek. Indeed, I've received more than my share of criticism for my apparent lack of cultural knowledge. And I'll be honest, it is precisely because I haven't been trying. It's not that these franchise disputes are contrived; the same arguments can be found in the land of video gaming, from which I hail. The stakes I hold in gaming arguments (my confidence in my opinions) are similar to those of debating movie buffs. While I'm not directly involved in the discussions regarding these films, I understand their nature and periodic severity.
