Film Bro

Someone who proclaims to have an all-encompassing knowledge of filmmaking but whose main personality traits are making 4 hour long YouTube videos about why The Last Jedi was worse than the Holocaust and shitting on Ghostbusters 2016. The Film Bro (correctly) dislikes the cynicism present in both films, but wastes everyone’s time by reminding us that it's shit years after it was fashionable, often in a long-winded and repetitive fashion.
Mark, my self proclaimed "Film Bro" friend, claims to be a true cinephile, but when we hang out all he talks about is how Rian Johnson is evil incarnate. He's never actually asked me and the boys if we could go see a movie, either.

Random person: Hey bro I heard you're like a film genius!

Film Geek: Speaking of geniuses I assume you have seen Jaws? Well did you know part of the reason the cast had time to improvise was because the robotic sharks kept breaking down, halting production. Named “Bruce” after Spielberg’s lawyer, the sharks relied on a complicated series of pneumatic pumps that kept getting fried by the sea water. Breakdowns became a daily occurrence. Undeterred, Spielberg had the actors improvise their scenes while he wrote the dialogue into the script. The impromptu workshops proved a success, resulting in fully developed characters that enraptured audiences — all thanks to faulty props.

Random Person: Whoa.......
