Ok, so I am queuing up to get into a rock gig last night, and there are these two young girls in front of me (probably in their late teens). Now at first, I am kinda cool to them being there, as the gig was a bunch of old 80s hair bands, so it impresses me that they even know who these bands are at their age.
Now, like most girls, they just cannot stop fucking talking, and they have annoying middle class accents. They seemed like daddy bought them a pony, but they are rebelling by being all "rock" n shit. So, I'm tolerating their annoying gibbering because they are at least talking about old school rock for most of it. A few things they said, proved they didnt know half as much as they thought they knew, but I was still tolerating them.....just.
Finally, one of them starts talking about some show they watched about the top 50 (maybe 20, I forget) sexiest men in sci-fi.
She started bemoaning the fact that Shatner was at number two, and that apparently Depp was on the list much further down!
Now this isnt what almost caused me to snap, as personal choice will always make people question any sort of list like this. No, what really got me was when she said who was at number one. Apparently it was Harrison Ford, but she questioned this as she could not remember a single sc-fi movie that he was in, and her friend agreed that he had never been in a sci-fi film.
I'm sorry, but how can someone accept Depp being in the list, but cannot remember two of the biggest sci-fi movies of all time?
I could sorta forgive her for not knowing about Blade Runner, but how the fuck can anyone not remember the Star Wars films?
Thankfully they were saved by the club opening its doors!
Stupid cunts!

meh, if they were 18, they only know the 3 prequel starwars movies. and if they were richer/partier girls, probably not even those.
i'll agree that they were likely annoying cunts, and i'll agree that i like (the thought of) punching strangers in the throat. but, you're ignoring the overruling judgement factor in this scenario: how were their tits?

I've had similar situations. One of the recent ones was some chick in her early 20s not knowing who Jon Stewart was.

Sorry Rob, but not knowing about the first three Star Wars films is like not knowing the sky is blue. You can barely go through life without hearing about shit from it, especially as they know who Captain fucking 1960s Kirk is! They were cunts, pure and simple! And I would still like to know which Depp film classifies as sci fi!

star wars is on all the time, sure. but that doesn't mean they give a fuck. hell, law and order is on every 20 minutes here, and i've never seen an episode. i also don't think its a stretch to think the current teenage girl population isn't enthralled by star wars lore -- "ooh, jedi is on at 3!" just doesn't strike me as something they'd say, from your description.
i think you're looking for logic in their thought process. william shatner is probably not captain kirk, but rather "the priceline guy." johnny depp is teeniebop fodder. and the fact that he hits so nicely in a scifi list should prove they're clearly not of the star wars mind set.
and, still, get to the fucking point - how were their tits!

and, still, get to the fucking point - how were their tits! Rob, this is not America, what the fuck is priceline? They fucking knew he was Kirk, they even said it. They were nerds, thats why they were watching a show about the top 50 sexiest men in sci fi fer fucksake. And quite frankly, I dont care if you like sci fi or not, I defy anyone to not know Fords two biggest roles ever (Solo & Jones). And as I said before, what fucking sci fi has Depp been in, that they were so accepting of it? How the fuck do they know who Angus Young is, but dont know about Star Wars? And as for the tits question, I was standing behind them so was checking their arses out! PJP would be proud!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138304/That's probably the sci fi movie the gay pirate was in. I've never seen it so I wouldn't know.

It's not usual for teens to know about the 80s?

Last time I wanted to punch someone in the face was when a stranger (an acquaintance actually...) told me she was a total sci-fi fan because she watched "lost" all the time...
But I'll agree with you nowie, how can ANYone know about cap'n Kirk and yet not know about Harrison Ford and Star Wars.
Heck, Blade Runner is a classic that everyone should watch at least once.

Neither do I. Its the fact they said Harrison Ford had never been in a sci fi film that made me want to slap the stupidity out of them.

Last time I wanted to punch someone is when Mutants & Masterminds (a comic book superhero rpg) came out with the Wild Cards settings, based on the novel series and featuring art by Brian Bolland and Tom Mandrake among others. Someone on the M&M boards was complaining about the art. I was "Dude, Bolland and Mandrake!" and he was "... Who?" You do NOT deserve to play any kind of comic rpg after saying something like that.

I think that Astronauts wife, that reax pointed out, is probably what they classify as sci fi to get him on the list. I think it involves aliens!

Did England get the re-released "special editions" about ten years ago, like the US did? My youngest is 19 and she, along with every kid in her school, went to the see the special editions of the original trilogy back then.

Yes we did. We also got all the hype surrounding the DVD release.
Anyone who does not know Harrison Ford was in Star Wars, even if they are not sci fi fans, are either babies, retards, have been locked away from the world or are Halo82 denying a fact.

Colbert was great on The Daily Show as a reporter. He was the only reason I watched.
I watch neither show now.

Have you ever wanted to slap a stranger just because of their sheer idiocy? Yeah, two of the crazies that come in to my branch on a regular basis. I deal with them...unfortunately...and consider them strange because all they do is rant about Obama/McCain/Bush. They have no clue what they're really talking about and are clearly starved for attention. When I get them they can go on for hours. I have delightful visions of me punching them in the throats. One after the other, repeatedly.

No. I've wanted to shoot them hit them with an axe, strangle, set them on fire, poke to the eye, stab them in the face, put them through a wood chipper, try to use my thoughts to make their heads explode, and PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE. Never wanted to slap anyone.

I had a moment today where some bitch was going around bragging about how she had a sticker on her bike that said "burn fat not oil". She was telling people it was a way of life for her. I wanted to shove her fugly head through a brick wall.

They're probably counting the Burton films like Scissorhands and Hollow. A lot of those magazines/websites stretch genres just to be able to put some of their or the fans' favorites onto a particular list.
