How long have you known these people? How well do you know these people?

All I'm getting here is that

A.) Your co-workers are intelligent and opinionated

B.) They are excited about a Pirates movie

I fail to see the disconnect here.


Y'all are jumping to some wild conclusions with this one.

First of all, it's blockbuster season. Pirates and superheroes and giant robots are bound to come up in conversation. The 90% and the 10% are gonna overlap eventually. It usually involves popcorn.

Second, it's work. You're not rolling with a crew, you're rolling with co-workers. People are gonna tend to stick to those safer "common denominator" topics with each other. No telling what kind of freaky indie shit they're watching with their real friends. So you may be getting some skewed data here.

I think most of the other counter-arguments have been covered already, so I'll stop there. But yeesh, is this one a doozy.
