Current Events > All A Cult Classic Is ....

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is a previously unpopular and financially failed movie, book, character that a bunch of Gen X nerds and hipsters latched onto and tried to make popular.

Hopefully future generations will be able to objectively look at these pieces of fiction for what they are since Gen X'ers can't seem to turn off their nostalgia filter.

2 of 3 movies that pop up in Google under cult classic movies are The Big Lebowski and Donnie Darko.

Sad sad topic

So I'm right? ;-)

Because all joking aside neither of those movies did anything for me to watch them more than once.

What about Pulp Fiction and Fight Club and Evil Dead?

The Big Lebowski is overrated.

Yeah, well, that's just, like*gets shot*

Pulp Fiction had its moments but overall no. But I'm also not a fan of Tarantino in general.

Never seen Fight Club.

Evil Dead I've never seen more than once. So I guess I'm at least indifferent to it.

TC the problem is you have shit taste

Do you just feel left out that you dont have a movie to prop up since you have the best taste and only enjoy the critically acclaimed?
---

"Cult classic" meant more before the internet put a spotlight on every fandom in history

Gen X'ers might not be able to turn off their nostalgia filter, but you apparently can't turn off your "What I Think About a Movie Determines Its Objective Quality" filter.

yes, that is the definition of cult classic. thanks, tc.

I'd say enjoying OG Star Trek might be considered propping up if it didn't already have a cult following.

And no most people don't share my taste when it comes to fiction.

Yes. The internet was a mistake.

I am a Gen X'er. Can I be both?
