Nerds.

I wouldn't call myself a cinephile. But when I watch movies I act like a funny fellow, a nerd.

I read Wikipedia about the movie - before, during and after the movie.
I watch Jeremy Jahns Review of the movie - before and after.
I watch several other YouTube review, explanations, endings explained.
I watch Pitch Meetings of the movie. By the way, if you don't watch pitch meetings, you should stop that shameful thing and go enjoy one of the best content out there on the internet.
Then I find someone to gist with about the movie.

I'm sorry, but I do all of the above.

I'm rounding off Lupin (Netflix) and I'm reminded of my nerdy behaviour. I must confess Assane Diop is a much more crazy nerd than I am, and his choice of obsession in Arsene Lupin is a weird one.

Anyways, unlike Diop, I'm not a nerd because I want to act like a character. I nerd about movies because I want a full experience of the movie. At least that's the lie I tell myself.
