but it drives me nuts. Two coworkers are discussing the X-Men movies and butchering them w/ misinformation both about the plot and the future of the franchise. I've corrected them every time but then they come back w/ more nonsense (facepalms galore). It is driving me up a wall. Anyone have this problem with correcting people when they mess up info in your nerdom? LOL

I generally play along, and edit my own knowledge of the franchise...just for the pleasure of geeking out with randoms for a bit. Enthusiasm, right or wrong, for something I get off on is more important in my head than trying to shape another uber fan.

I had another member of the staff confess the same thing to me when I showed him this...
Now if only I could find something that makes women respond the way guys do to bacon-wrapped twinkies and Monty Python (there's Twilight, but I can't say anything about that in public with a straight face). >_> |

hehe, happens all the time. There is no way to really solve this mystery of mind boggling bulldung...except with a bullet. You just have to choose who should get it, them or you? I figure if I take them out there will always be another to take his place. I also figure if I take myself out, some one else can take my place and I wont care anymore. I'll let you know if I ever have some decent results to report. LOL!

Maybe they were pulling a Jim on you and just discussing stuff totally wrong within earshot of you because they know it would drive you nuts. (a la the Office episode where Jim tried explaining the new Battlestar Galactica to Kevin in such a way that Dwight was going crazy from the misinformation but could do nothing about it without using company time to correct him) I think I've heard it referred to as "Nerd Baiting" Either way, I know how you feel. The buzz of Star Wars errors/misconceptions at the office i worked at when the prequels were just announced was enough to make me want to scream at my co-workers to STFU!

What drives me up the wall is when people say these were good movies.
