“Desperate Deception: How One Man’s Tall Tales About Movies Spiraled Out of Control”

Have you ever been in a conversation where someone just went a little too far trying to impress the crowd? Well, enter Nick Tyler, a well-meaning local who took that sentiment to a whole new level—by fabricating an entire cinematic repertoire. This Chicago resident insisted he just adored the whole artsy film experience, despite having zero clue about what actually happens on screen. I mean, who would’ve thought that simply liking “the moving images and audio” could sound so sophisticated? With a bravado usually reserved for seasoned critics, he raved about scripts, computers, and story-telling techniques that he never really grasped. It’s a classic case of “fake it ’til you make it,” but folks, let’s be honest—this is going to leave his friends scratching their heads! Curious to see how this unintentional comedy unfolds?

CHICAGO—Insisting that he thought what he had seen was great despite his complete lack of experience with the visual art form, local man Nick Tyler reportedly lied Monday about having seen any movies at all in order to impress his friends. “Oh yeah, it’s so fantastic how the images moved and there was audio and stuff—that was actually my favorite part,” said Tyler, who went on to falsely describe to his work acquaintances how he had actually watched several movies and particularly appreciated the way they made use of directing and acting. “It was a cool decision to work from scripts—and, uh, computers, maybe?—to tell a story. Very innovative. I saw movies last week, but I might even see other movies soon. That’s how much I enjoyed them.” Tyler went on to state that he perhaps liked movies even more than music and television, two other mediums with which he was also entirely unfamiliar.
