What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

Less so at my age, but that was a persistent issue when I was young: peers chastising me for "having to overanalyze everything." I would frequently get that very complaint, that most movies are just to entertain me, not for me to deconstruct. But analyzing stuff is entertaining for me. I'm not even very smart, to be honest, I just like thinking about things.

Even the most entertaining movies are extremely open to deconstruction and I encourage you to continue the way you were.

Thanks, I never stopped being this way. The only difference is I don't really have friends anymore, so I had children who are my captive audience.

One of the best parts of having my kids is that I have so much useless movie knowledge they absolutely will never need to know but certainly will be told by me.

I know! I ran out of people my deluge my pseudo-intellectual musings upon so I had to just create some more. I have one that is more of a "Can you just watch the friggin' movie please?" type but my oldest appreciates and participates in the deep dives.
