It's a reference from the movie "Wedding Crashers." It basically means a person who doesn't understand that the person they're into isn't into them. They are border-line stalker/clingy.
I don't think unwated social interaction is ideal, I want that interaction and I want the people I'm interacting with to want it too....
I get your point though, if you feel like you don't want that type of face to face interaction then it would seem like hell (See the TV show Ascension for what I'm talking about).
It reminds me of a quote from vince vaughn. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0396269/quotes?qt=qt0329774 see " I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating."
I know light humor is frowned upon in HN but when I thought of it for this situation it made me laugh a little I hope you get a giggle out of it :-)
So I'm supposed to trust my most precious photos to a company run by someone who thought Wedding Crashers was a documentary?
If you found his party hacking admirable or maybe just entertaining, you'd probably like the movie, "Wedding Crashers":

Wanted is a terrible example because it's a terrible movie. All that proves is that you have bad taste in cinema.
At least go with an example like... Wedding Crashers or Old School, or Bad Boys if it has to be an action movie.
ANYWAY, games are not a geek exclusive thing anymore (at least not if all of the frat bros I used to know in college are any indication). Comic books still are somewhat, but there is an ever growing independent movement that's causing the interested parties to become more diverse. Science Fiction is clearly no longer niche since like, 9 out of 10 of the top earning films are Science Fiction or Fantasy.
IMDB reports that 2322 movies were released in 1939 alone, is it really surprising that there were a handful of good movies among them?
1980 for comparision, IMDB lists 6007 movies (8000+ if you include TV movies), and contains modern (popular) classics such as Stir Crazy, Superman II, Empire Strikes Back, Airplane!, The Blue Lagoon, Ordinary People, Urban Cowboy. The Shining, Caddyshack, Raging Bull, Friday The 13th, The Fog, The Blues Brothers.
Hmm, looks like 1980 was a much more 'classic' era than the 40s for hollywood, but you wouldn't have heard that from film buffs in the 80s.
Hollywood has always been a great abuser of the 'sling lots of shit at the wall and see what sticks' approach to 'greatness', they're just slinging a lot more shit these days.
Even if we take a really contemporary year and do the same study, we see a pattern of greats no matter what year, take 2005 at random:
Batman Begins, Sin City, V for Vendetta, Revenge of the Sith, King Kong, Brokeback Mountain, Harry Potter/Goblet of Fire, Serenity, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Mr & Mrs Smith, Wedding Crashers, Munich, Saw 2, Hostel, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Madagascar, Pride & Prejudice, Land of the Dead.
Ah, but the movie buff will point out that they're not established classics like Gone with the Wind, or Wizard of Oz. Not yet, anyway.
Edit: Btw, for 2005, the number of movies was 28,000+. Is it any wonder that there is a lot of formulaic stuff in there as well?
