I don't think it's a race, but I want to have a valid, informed opinion of my own on these albums (or in this case, film). And I don't know what it is about this post, or any other post for that matter, that would give you the impression that I'm some "Johnny-come-lately who doesn’t just go with the musical flow, but has to collect and blab about every single release without even having the reference point to accurately discuss them."

You seem to be "that guy." The guy who is a music collector, masquerading as a big fan, but more or less a Johnny-come-lately who doesn't just go with the musical flow, but has to collect and blab about every single release without even having the reference point to accurately discuss them. I have never trusted people who claim they have to play "catch up" as if the enjoyment of music is some kind of race. What's the matter? Are you worried someone will come over and say "Oh, you don't have the latest....{insert band name here}?" I don’t know, man.
