Oh, I know.
But if you can apply it to 'Pulp Fiction', than you can apply it to hundreds of films, in which case it loses its punching power and becomes irrelevant.
That's why I'm clowning its usage.
There's hundreds of ways to praise the film.
Why the fuck would someone use *that* term.
And that same person discussed its profundity and all sorts of other shit.
And so the, what is in my opinion, superfluous application of "Zeigeist" is not independent of the other bullshit I'm talking about.
That's all I'm saying.
And even better, McDeezNuts, who said its his favorite film ever, didn't like its usage either.
