We did that to a mate's unnecessarily stereotypical yank cousin when he visited some years back.

When he was mid froth about us calling America a colony we said, "Calm down mate, no offence intended...so what is it...south canada or something?"

# It's quite simple:
Sitting in silence for an hour and a half does not qualify as a social event.

Going to the movies on your own makes you a loser.

You're not "sharing an experience", you're "killing time because you're a boring fuck that can't use your own imagination".

Conversations always win, hands down. If you can't have an interesting one, it's time to take a look in the mirror.

# Books are personal.
Movies are apparently meant to be watched in groups.

Also, they all go on too long. Movies should be over in five minutes.

It could just be someone shouting "Ok so this protagonist just got pulled out of their comfort zone, now they're moving on to achieve glory".

For the sake of variety they could use a different person to shout it each time.

This would be much better.
