People Share Things They like but They Can’t Stand the Fan Base

This is a tricky subject…

Have you ever gotten really into something and discovered that while you like that thing, you really don’t like other people who support it? It might be a band or a TV show or a movie or a sports team.

In this AskReddit article, people went on the record and shared something they like but can’t stand the fan base.

1. Anime

“Anime.

Every time I find one that I like. I mention it to other people and then they feel the need to shit on whatever I’m watching and say I should watch something else because it’s better.”

2. Nirvana

“Nirvana. Not the WHOLE fanbase, but primarily the ones who say you have to hate the popular songs and love the lowkey ones, as well as the ones who talk about it like they’re the last good band to ever exist. The ones who glorify Cobain’s suicide also get on my nerves.”

3. Short and sweet

“Marijuana.”

4. No idea what this is

“K-pop. A few years ago, my friends introduced it to me and I thought the music wasn’t terrible so I slowly became a fan of random music from different groups. Many fans of these K-pop groups are toxic and like to start Fan Wars with other groups. It’s wayyyy too much drama, but I’m not trying to go against all the fans. It’s just that some of these ppl are way too obsessed.”

5. That’s kind of weird

“Doctor Who and Sherlock. I used to really casually enjoy these things, but the amount of weirdness around people who are obsessed with the two of these things, turned me off of it quite a bit.”

6. Wrestlemania

“Weirdly enough for me it’s the WWE. Especially with Raw and Smackdown right now. It seems that majority of the fan base want everyone to be over and no one to be over at the same time.”

7. Not a cult

“I actually really like CW shows. I know they’re stupid and they’re completely unrealistic, over the top, and obnoxious….but they are SO good for just escaping reality. The fans….drive me nuts. It’s a TV show….not a cult. Let’s just enjoy it and move on.”

8. Burton has legions of fans

“THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (and other Tim Burton-esque films).

This fan base was larger back in the early 2000s when the emo platforms of old were prolific with fanfic, posts and badly-drawn art and low-res screenshots pasted with animated glitter love heart stickers.

Nowadays it’s not so prominently featured on social medias, but I know more than a fair few full grown adults that still fawn over Jack Skellington and Sally in the most cringe-worthy ways.”

9. Seriously…

“League of Legend. Seriously, can’t get a game without someone flaming.”

10. You’re a target now

“Tom Holland.

I don’t hate the fan base, but some fans are a bit creepy.

I like tom holland’s acting, he’s a good actor, and I am a fan, but sometimes I get creeped out by his fans. Like I’ll make an occasional joke but talking about him constantly is kind of creepy. Or following him around and taking pictures of him (when you’re not paparazzi) and constantly knowing where he is? Like that’s super stalker-y. I know that he’s a young actor that’s in a lot of popular movies, but don’t stalk him. Its straight up creepy.

Now I’m a target for a bunch of pre-teen/teenage girls. Fun!”

11. It is a big hit…

“Hamilton is so good, but the romantization of actual historical figures, the terrible memes, and the “I know everything about history because I know hamilton lyrics” bothered me so much.”

12. Don’t want to deal with it

“Magic the gathering. The stigmas behind what people imagine a magic player to be bothers me. The general player probably hates something in the game I genuinely enjoy, and the people I’ve played with outside my family have ruined me wanting to support my local game store because I don’t want to deal with the other people that play.”

13. They are pretty hardcore

“The band Tool. Their fans are called toolibans for a reason.”

14. Annoying

“The band Queen. On any YouTube video where anyone discusses a band or song they like that’s not Queen, there will be comments about how Queen is the best band, and how freddie Mercury is a Messiah or a God, and how every other singer should blow him. And when someone discusses a queen song and expresses criticism there are fans who act like it’s a personal attack on them and get way to defensive. They’re just annoying.”

15. Supernatural

“Supernatural. Great show with likeable characters, but it seems like all the people that watch it are wannabe emo or the kids that weren’t cool enough to join the anime groups.”

Ed Sheeran Has Spent Millions Buying Houses and Property from His Complaining Neighbors

This ma is living the dream. Ed Sheeran has all the money he could ever want, and he’s been using it to slowly buy up all the property around his farmhouse in Framlingham, England, supposedly to build himself a “mini-village.”

That sounds like paradise to me. No neighbors, no hassle, no problems.

No.6 went #1 today and Beautiful People went #1 in the singles chart, which makes it the second #1 from this project….

Posted by Ed Sheeran on Friday, July 19, 2019

And by “buying up all the property,” I mean buying OUT his neighbors. Sheeran bought a farmhouse and some land around it in 2012 for just over $1 million (we’re talking US currency here). He then bought the house next door for about $550,000. Fast forward to 2016 and Sheeran purchased another nearby house for $1.1 million. The following year, the singer dished out $640,000 for a bungalow across the street.

Not only is Sheeran buying these properties, but he’s putting a lot of work back into them and the house he originally purchased. Sheeran was granted permission to build a kidney-shaped pool on the condition that it would also be a natural habitat to attract wildlife, but his plans for the pool got his neighbors peeved.

Ed Sheeran's home in Framlingham, Suffolk.

Posted by Realty One on Monday, January 29, 2018

Neighbors were annoyed when Sheeran placed hay bales around the pool to block neighbors’ views, and they accused him of using the water for recreation instead of a wildlife attraction, as originally decided. His neighbors have also complained that the famous singer has plans to build a giant treehouse and a chapel on his property.

So, what to do? Drop some cash on ’em, of course! Then no one can complain! And that’s exactly what Sheeran continues to do. Because he can.

Today the Divide tour broke the all time tour record set by U2. It's now the most attended and highest grossing tour of…

Posted by Ed Sheeran on Friday, August 2, 2019

When you have that much cash, you can pretty do whatever you want, whenever you want.

Now I need to get busy designing my own compound…

10 Facts About “Cats” the Musical to Get You Ready for the Movie Adaptation

 

If you’re of a certain age, then Cats was probably part of your life (and possibly your identity) growing up. It was huge! You might not even have realized how inherently strange it is because it’s just always been a thing.

If you’re not a Broadway fan (or you’re a new or younger fan) then you, like the rest of the non-theatre world, may have been introduced to Cats when the trailer for the film adaptation recently released.

Honestly, no matter where you fall on this scale of Cats awareness, that trailer probably scarred you for life. I know it did me.

If you’re now curious about this whole singing, dancing cat-people thing, here are 10 facts for you:

10. One audience member sued the production for $6 million.

Live performances of Cats involves audience interaction, a treat that one fan definitely didn’t welcome back in 1996.

Tugger, played by David Hibbard, allegedly “gyrated his pelvis” in audience member Evelyn Amato’s face, an act that led her to sue the production and its creative team for $6 million.

9. It’s based on a collection of T.S. Eliot poems that originally was supposed to include dogs, too.

Eliot published Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats in 1939, and the lighthearted offering has been delighting cat-lovers for generations.

At first, he thought the book would contain poems inspired by dogs and cats, but in the end, he figured that dogs just didn’t lend themselves as well to poetry, and that it would be “improper to wrap them up with dogs.”

8. The show gave T.S. Eliot a posthumous Tony.

View this post on Instagram

So should we talk about that Cats trailer?? ? Here’s the thing: I hate real cats, but I love T.S. Eliot, and I love musical theater…so it’s complicated haha. The CGI was semi-horrifying, but I would listen to Jennifer Hudson sing the ABCs on repeat for hours. Can I miss seeing James Corden playing Bustopher Jones? You know, I can’t. Will I feel as cringe through the whole movie as I did during the trailer? I hope not. The thing I’m holding out hope for is that this baby is choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler who is a GENIUS (think Hamilton, In The Heights & The Bandstand), and they have some INCREDIBLE dancers in the cast. So if you go back and watch the trailer as a preview for a dance movie, it changes the whole thing. & I always show up for a dance movie. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• That being said, Cats is based off of this book of poetry by T.S. Eliot (yes. THAT gloomy, highbrow T.S. Eliot). Apparently he also had a wonderful sense of humor, a great love of his godchildren (for whom he wrote these poems), and an even greater love for cats. It is clever and joyous, and you should go read it. They’re short and impossible not to smile through. Jury is out on the movie, but the poems have already earned their 5 big ⭐s!! #? What did you think of the trailer? Have you seen it on stage before? Thoughts?

A post shared by Prose Pros (@prosepros) on

Even though Eliot died in 1965, the fact that most of the songs are verbatim recitations of his poems means he’s listed as their lyricist – thus, earning him a Tony in 1983.

7. Andrew Lloyd Weber is not a “cat person.”

The author of the play describes himself as “quite neutral” toward cats, but thought the poems were perfect for a daring West End soundtrack.

6. The original production used 3000 pounds of yak hair.

View this post on Instagram

GRIZABELLA… The CATS are out of the bag!… I can finally share my designs for the very first reimagined version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS in the UK since the original in 1981. Not possible without the brilliant Costume Supervior @j_mime and @dollyhurran with the brilliant wardrobe team @kilworthhousetheatre #theatredesigner #theaterdesign #setdesign #stageset #setdesigner #costumedesign #costumedesigner #stagedesign #stagedesigner #scenicdesign #scenography #ramsgatetunnels #ww2 #blitzlondon #ww2 #londonunderground #catsthemusical #catsmusical #catsthemovie #catsmovie #andrewloydwebber #cats #grizabella @emmahatton1 @iamjhud @intertalentgroup @michaelmooreagency @nickwinston3552

A post shared by Philip Witcomb (@philipwitcomb) on

All major productions of Cats use yak hair to craft their wild feline costumes – which run around $2300 each these days – and costumes are tailored to the actor.

That means that each actor needs a new product, and is the reason the first Broadway production (that ran 18 years) used 3247 pounds of yak hair in total.

A full grown yak, in case you’re curious, weighs around 2200 pounds.

5. Dame Judi Dench was supposed to play in Cats in London, but never got the chance.

She was cast as Grizabella in a West End production in 1981, but tore her Achilles tendon before the show opened.

Fun fact: she was replaced by Elaine Paige (from Evita).

4. But she will star in the movie.

Nearly 40 years alter, Dench is starring as the wise and beloved Old Deuteronomy (Jennifer Hudson will play Grizabella).

3. Weber had to take out a second mortgage to get Cats through its initial run.

Andrew Lloyd Weber had won both success and acclaim with Jesus Christ Superstar, but when he wanted to open Cats, he had a hard time finding investors. Why? Choreographer Gillian Lynne has some thoughts:

“It was very, very difficult to finance because everyone said, ‘A show about cats? You must be raving mad.”

It fell so short of its fundraising goals that Weber took out a second mortgage in order to get it off the ground.

2. The late Grumpy Cat once made a cameo.

Before his untimely death (may he rest in peace), Grumpy Cat made a cameo in the show on Broadway.

1. It set records on both sides of the Atlantic.

The original London production ran for 21 years, making it (at the time) the longest running musical in West End history – a title it handed over to Les Mis in 2006.

On Broadway, the show was performed 6138 times, making it the longest running show on Broadway.

 

You may still never understand, but at least now you’re informed!

People Share the Movies They Consider to Be Perfect

What are some of your favorite movies? Movies you consider flawless?

I know which movies I would consider perfect. The Warriors, Back to the Future, Slap Shot, the original Halloween from 1978, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 1974.

AskReddit users shared what they believe are perfect films.

1. Dr. Strangelove

“Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

The idea that all of humanity could come to an end because the people in charge are idiots still blows my mind. This movie was made 55 years ago.”

2. Little Miss Sunshine

“Little Miss Sunshine.

The characters, and the cast selected for them, absolutely brilliant. The storyline is really in depth yet relatable because the Hoover’s are like any other family; complicated. The writing is superb, all the characters have development and impactful scenes. And the camerawork…my word is it phenomenal. Time and time again each shot is symbolic.

Every character’s position in frame means something. Fantastic work. And don’t get me started on the soundtrack. If you’re not blown away by any of the sheer skill I’ve mentioned, the music throughout will definitely sway you. Touching and emotive, so fitting. It’s so lovely and I always get emotional by its beauty every time I watch it.”

3. Alien

“The original Alien. I’m 24 years old, born in 1995. First time watching was in the grandparents farmhouse in Ireland. Grandmother puts it on at 10:30 and says “enjoy lads, love you both” and leaves us with coca cola, crisps.. you name it we had it, all the munchies two twelve year olds could want. End of the film and I’ve never been so fucking terrified. Still scares me to this day and I practically know it word for word!”

4. Blues Brothers

“The first Blues Brothers.

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.”

5. The Thing

“John Carpenter’s The Thing

It’s the perfect blend of isolation, paranoia, bloody horror, practical effects, and a shapeshifting alien.”

6. Raiders of the Lost Ark

“Raiders of the Lost Ark is the perfect action movie for me. The intro to Indiana Jones in the jungle is perfect, even with little dialogue. The pacing is great, the characters are solid, the humor is natural, the environments are diverse, and the music is unforgettable. Just an awesome, fun time.”

7. The Hunt for Red October

“The Hunt for Red October.

Believable characters, believable tech even for the one bleeding edge thing that underpins the whole movie. Deaths are few and significant. Very little in the way of special effects so what is there doesn’t screw things up too badly.

It’s a repeat watch for me.”

8. What About Bob?

“What About Bob?

Richard Dreyfus legitimately hated Bill Murray on set. Julie Hagerty is a comic genius, Charlie Korsmo puts in a child performance for the ages, and for bonus a young Katherine Erbe from Law & Order!”

9. Back to the Future

“Back to the Future (the first one, though I do enjoy the other two). The dialogue is brilliantly tight, the acting is incredible and the story while bizarre is original and executed flawlessly and includes some truly iconic sequences (the skateboard chase scene, the insane bedroom scene with his mom, the parking lot knockout, the johnny b. goode sequence, etc).

Also, the whole aesthetic of the movie is one big masterpiece. The set pieces, the cinematography, the soundtrack – it all fits together as one. When I think of “movie magic” this is one of the movies that comes to mind.”

10. Prisoners

“Prisoners. It never had a dull moment and always makes you think- like if you’re in that situation what would you do? Or.. Oh he’s the one who did it, fuck nvm it’s her! oh it’s him for sure or maybeee it’s.. etc. Etc. The acting is only just the best acting can ever reach. Ugh everything was just genius from start, middle to end.”

11. Airplane!

“Airplane!

This is one of those movies that’s the equivalent of the Ballmer Peak. If the comedy broke just a little, or the timing was off, it would be really bad. Instead it’s comedic genius from Mrs. Cleaver being the only one who could speak Jive to all the exterior shots of a jet that has propeller noises.”

12. Die Hard

“Die Hard.

Perfect action movie. Also, Alan Rickman.”

13. Children of Men

“Children of Men. Its cinematography is incredible. The acting and story flow of events is also perfect. Everything came together and its beautiful.”

14. The Prestige

“The Prestige

Has big names, good unexpected and believable twists, a touch of sci fi, and touches on some interesting moralethical dilemmas that humanity might need to deal with one day.”

15. Gladiator

“Gladiator.

Character development, the pace, the ending, everything was perfect.”

Noites quentes de verão Uma história simples num filme muito bem feito. Chalamet interpreta um garoto meio diferente, bobinho, mais na dele, "não-popular", mas também não é um nerd. Daniel, um menino normal, porém sem amigos, vive com sua mãe.  É 1991 e na intenção dele interagir mais, a sua mãe manda ele para a casa de uma tia, lá numa praia pelo lado de lá.  O verão é pesado e ele acaba se tornando o grande amigo do boyzinho que vende maconha aos praieiros da cidade. O cara não é um traficante, tem cara de playboy, mas sem estilo. Simultaneamente, o Daniel, que agora é Danny, mais descolado e parceiro do menino das marijuana, se apaixona por uma loirinha rebelde e sensual. A bronca é que ela é irmã do amigo dele, o qual proíbe o Danny de ter qualquer coisa com sua irmã.  Não é tão simples assim né?! Ainda mais quando a menina começa a retribuir a paixão pelo menino. A bronca é que Danny é inteligente e ambicioso, então ele passa a compartilhar com o amigo dele idéias para eles conseguirem vender mais e ganhar mais. Só que quem quer muito meu amigo, às vezes acaba ficando sem nada.  Recomendo, não só pelo roteiro e pelo Chalamet, mas a edição e montagem são muito legais, feitas com carinho e cálculo pra dar tudo certinho. Adorei. Não é filmaço, mas é muito massa num fim de noite. ??? #elijahbynum #noitesquentesdeveraofilme #hotsummernightsmovie #timotheechalamet #maikamonroe #maiamitchell #filmes #cinema #ofilmex

A post shared by O Filme X (@ofilmex) on

Timothee Chalamet is one of the hottest young actors in Hollywood, and many people are comparing him to a young James Dean in this coming of age, manic-pixie-dream-girl contemporary romp.

#3. Silencio

Some critics aren’t able to get their head around the unbelievable parts of the film, but others found the story of a woman searching for a magic stone to save her son’s life touching and sincere.

#2. The Little Stranger

The popular gothic novel by Sarah Waters’ gets a spooky adaptation in which Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson) is called to a crumbling house chock full of mysteries.

#1. The Darkest Minds

You Can Buy a ‘Friends’-Themed Furniture Collection from Pottery Barn

You need to throw on your workout gear and run to Pottery Barn while flailing your arms like Rachel Green!

Why? Because this retailer will have merchandise from Friends!

The best part? The apothecary table!

Photo Credit: NBC

The famous episode, “The One With The Apothecary Table,” shows Rachel purchasing said table for her apartment, which she shares with Phoebe. Monica warns her that Phoebe is against mass-produced products, so Rachel fibs and tells her friend that the new table was from a flea market. The entire episode is filled with Pottery Barn plugs, as Rachel goes nuts buying up anything Pottery Barn.

Things like the “ornamental Birdcage – Large,” a telescope, and more.

Though these products were not available at Pottery Barn then, they will be soon!

If you are an overly-crazed Friends fan, this is the perfect way to get your apartment to start looking like the show. It’s unclear exactly what will be sold (other than the table), but PopSugar.com says there will be “14 products ranging in price from $13 to $1,099, and the line has everything from decorative accessories to furniture and textiles.”

So why haven’t we been graced with these treasures of TV past before?

Well, Friends is celebrating the 25th anniversary of it’s start (it ran on NBC from 1994-2004). I suppose this is Pottery Barn’s way of tipping their hat to the famous show.

I think Phoebe would approve.

Could you be any more excited?
