My comment isn&#x27;t intended to be anti-anything. I spend 10-15 hours per week studying philosophy, history, economics, ontology, physics (a little), and biology, even if it is largely via Wikipedia. I&#x27;m certainly not anti-intellectual.<p>By assuming that watching &quot;hipster movies&quot; makes you intellectual, you&#x27;ve illustrated exactly my point, that (some) people watch these movies because they think it somehow makes them into intellectuals, which fits the definition of pretentious quite well.<p>Also note, pertaining to pretentiousness, that pretending to be an &quot;intellectual&quot; by category or style doesn&#x27;t change one&#x27;s IQ by even a little.
