So I need to see that film and pretend that I really really liked it so I'll look like I've got cool taste in documentaries, in the same manner that I've pretended to like "Horses" all these years so I'll look like I've got cool taste in music.
Okay.

Why fake it, Walter? It's highly unlikely you're fooling anyone.

I once screwed a coffeeshop girl because she was impressed that I had a copy of Horses on the CD player. The woman is a Saint!

I'd like to jump on the "santa barbara ad making anybody else's computer choke on H-E?" bandwagon, but my computer has derailed.

Ah so that's what it is. Irony of ironies: Wells is killing us with an ad featuring Amy Ryan.

Do you suppose it's just a coincidence that there's also a "Fix PC - Restore Your Computer - Scan PC Now!" ad posted here now, hmm?
