    Did I ever say it weren't? Nope. As long as the film depicts a
    similar behavior, I totally agree. I totally agree that a film
    is a meme. I totally agree that a behavior enacted or recorded
    on film is a meme.

    But, you've got to show me one or the other. Somehow. Just
    talking about this meme is useless if I want to use it.
