What is the meaning of this quote? It is no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn’t even speak each other if they met at a party.

Hi, This means that the relationship that you are in (or thinking of) has no future because you and your boyfriend/girlfriend (or someone you would like to date) are not compatible in terms of what you like - here they use the example of differences in music and film tastes. Hope this helps!
