imdb boards: concentrated human stupidity

I was looking on IMDB trying to find out what kind of car Peter Guillam drives in the film of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (and I never did find out--do any of you know?). The boards are incredibly disheartening. Post after post of "OMG SO BORING" and "Was Peter Guillam gay?" and "Were Jim Prideaux and Bill Haydon supposed to be in some kind of homosexual relationship?". And people not understanding that the Christmas party scenes were flashbacks, which even I got and I am not the greatest at interpreting complex visual storytelling. But I'd have hoped anyone would realize that the presence of Control at the party indicated that it happened before Control died. *headdesk*

No wonder shitty movies make all the money.
