Pretentious Film Student

Memes are all the rage these days and I've thoroughly enjoyed wasting hours of my life reading them. As a kind of joke, I started a meme of my own based on the people I've had the pleasure of meeting at the University of Iowa. My friend, Brian, and I love pointing out who among our classmates are overly pretentiousso I used Brian's face as the template of a new meme called Pretentious Film Student.

Any film student will recognize these people, and if they don't then they probably are one. There are the kind who see themselves as creative geniuses capable of becoming big league film directors directly out of college; and the kind that hate the industry and think film theory is an important field of study and consider their incomprehensible "experimental" films to be their godly gift to humanity because their films are rich with "theory". If that run-on sentence doesn't have you convinced, then why not just check the meme out yourself?

Also, there's a new Facebook Page so you can 'Like' the meme and have the latest show up directly on your feed.
