The arbiter of taste

FRIEND: Hey Jim! Have you seen this awesome [comedy/game/film]? It's really good, you should consider checking it out. JIM: Yeeeeahhh... if it was THAT good, though, don't you think I'd have known about it already, and be telling YOU about it?
"Hey Jim, based on in-depth knowledge of your favourite kinds of things, this is exactly the sort of thing you would like!"

How about this: as punishment for your presumption, I pre-emptively hate the thing you are recommending, forever.

I am a great friend to have.
