But this could be because I like watching movies/tv/media just to be entertained with a good "product", not to delve deep into the creators mind/intentions and speculate what everything means. Some people dig that **** though, and they work at pitchfork and various other nerd media outlets.
If in-depth analysis of creative works makes you a nerd, then buy me the house at the corner of Nerd Avenue and Geek Street. Personally, I don't want anything* in my life to be mindless-- I guess it's fine if you do, but I still don't understand people's need to call other people who don't want things that way nerds.
* - exception: Well-executed stupid comedies that still make me laugh really, really hard, which is the most important thing in comedy anyway.
