There’s a reality in our lives that we need to accept: we spend more time on the internet than doing anything else. That means, inevitably, that we spend more time sharing memes about movies than watching them, oftentimes having us sharing pictures of films we will never see.
With the limited time we have on this Earth, that’s fine, since most of these films aren’t worth our time either way. We can thank the brave souls that saw them in theaters for the jokes we share today, and know that, at the end of the day, that’s all they were good for.
Morbius
Almost nobody actually watched Morbius, yet the internet transformed it into one of the biggest movie memes in years. Fake quotes like “It’s Morbin’ Time” became more culturally relevant than the film itself ever managed.
The Room
Tommy Wiseau’s The Room became infinitely more famous through memes, reaction clips, and internet jokes than through traditional audiences. Even people who never watched the movie probably recognize “You’re tearing me apart, Lisa!” immediately.
