A comment is racking up the likes for an "I can tell by some of the pixels..." reference on MeFi, and I'm reminded of how important cultural literacy is for enjoyment of media, and how far out of step my own experience of culture is with the mass market. I had a lot of trouble with Glass Onion, and my wife had even more, because a lot of the things that were clearly references were lost on us. We just aren't exposed to enough mass media to "get it".

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
