Aubz: Talking Pictures

I have a question to ask both of you, our readers, because I have a bad habit and I'm pretty sure it's keeping boys from dating me.

How terrible is it when a girl quotes the movie while you're watching it?

I try to reign it in, but if I'm watching Muppet Treasure Island or Beauty and the Beast, I just can't help myself. I know the habit is obnoxious, expecially when other people have never seen the movie before--my main concern is the kinds of movies that I have memorized. See, I know all 8 Harry Potter movies, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Treasure Planet, Thumbelina, Newsies, Horton Hears a Who... The list goes on and on, and all in the same juvenile vein. And I have to tell you, except for The Lion King, I've learned all of these movies in the last few years.

So I guess my question isn't how obnoxious is it, but is it a turn-off when a girl has obviously spent more time in her adult life watching movies from her childhood than, say, reading the classics or ever keeping her room clean? Is this, in fact, keeping boys from dating me? Should I keep this a secret? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Here, have a poll.
