See here's the thing, if Ben doesn't feel he can be a part of a conversation (Wolverine talk, all the Star Wars talk at the moment that even JJ is big in on - Bens' pop culture knowledge is dreadful), he will just belittle the people and laugh about how boring they are behind their backs.

He was saying to someone (Dave I think) that he asked Andrew what he liked and such, and Andrew said he was a big film fan and was talking about Terminator and Memento. Ben was belittling Andrews' interest in films basically, because... he had no idea what these films are. He thought Memento was a Hitchcock film! The things Ben were saying it was as if he felt that Andrew has no right to like films! Come on.

Well if he finds them boring, then he considers them boring, whats wrong with that? I dont see why he should be constantly criticised for not finding a particular housemate interesting. And I dont think he was belittling Andrew's taste in films, he was just acknowleding that the films Andrew likes are ones he has no interest in.
