Pretentious as it gets.

don't waist your time with this one.

I only use the word pretentious when I'm describing people who use the word pretentious.

pre·ten·tious
prəˈten(t)SHəs/
adjective
attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.

Perfectly describes a person who would presume to tell other people to not watch something simply because HE didn't like it.

How narcissistic can you get OP?

OP, maybe you should learn how to spell before trying to pass yourself off as a professional film critic. It's spelled waste, not 'waist'. Waist is the midsection between your upper body and your lower body.

You obviously labeled it pretentious because you don't understand it and that's intellectually dishonest. Take some responsibility.

A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
