Trust me, I totally get it, I am involved with a lot of stuff that no one has any interest in except a few people. So when it seems like someone is interested I probably pounce fairly often.

I also think that it is cute that you, your wife and kids all seem to bond over the movie based on your favorite character. Different is cool. Even if it is a little geeky. BTW, geeky is cool but I digress.

But when you start talking in the middle of the movie to thump your chest a bit about the knowledge you have, that crosses a line. It has taken me 40 years to realize this, quiet confidence is the best.

Fact is, we are all there just to watch a movie. We are not going to buy the comic book, we are not going to join a fan club and yes we will likely go see Spiderman 4 even though Spiderman 3 sucked. It is a casual thing for the rest of us so we would like to not be bothered when we have 2 hours alone.
