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.”

Here’s Christopher Walken Dancing in over 50 Movies Edited into a Single Music Video

Christopher Walken is now 76-years-old and he’s cooler than ever. And he just gets better with age, doesn’t he?

Let’s run down just a small list of the movies he’s given great performances in: Pulp Fiction, The Deer Hunter, Catch Me if You Can, True Romance.

And let’s not forget about two highly underrated Walken films: At Close Range (as Sean Penn’s criminal father) and Biloxi Blues.

A post shared by Harold "Majorek" (@haroldmatiaszarateroman) on

Oh, and another thing: the man can dance.

A lot of people don’t know that Walken started out his career in the entertainment industry as a dancer. He actually started dancing at the age of three. Walken said,

“It was very typical for people—and I mean working-class people—to send their kids to dancing school. You’d learn ballet, tap, acrobatics, usually you’d even learn to sing a song.”

For a lot of folks, their first introduction to Walken’s smooth moves was from the 2001 music video for Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice. The video was directed by Spike Jonze and a lot of people realized for the first time that Walken was a very talented dancer.

None other than Liza Minnelli said about Walken,

“I’d been around dancers my whole life, having watched my parents make musicals at MGM, and Chris reminded me of so many of the dancers I knew growing up. He’s talented in every way.”

That’s pretty high praise from a Hollywood icon who grew up in the industry.

Here’s the full video for your viewing pleasure.

The man is an American treasure.

No doubt about that.

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.”

Sir Alec Guiness hated his role…

Sir Alec Guiness hated his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: “Apart from the money, I regret having embarked on the film,” calling the dialog “lamentable.” An autograph seeker told him he’d seen the movie over 100 times; he gave him an autograph on the condition he never see the movie again.

7 Great Movies You Might Have Missed Out On

There are so movies that slip under the radar for some reason, even though they deserve a wider audience (in some people’s minds!).

These 7 movies definitely fall into that category, so check them out the next time you’re not sure what to watch!

#7. Snowpiercer

This critically acclaimed, post-apocalyptic thriller stars Tilda Swinton and tells the story of Earth after the onset of another Ice Age. It explores survival, the class system, and an apocalyptic uprising.

#6. Cake

Jennifer Aniston isn’t just a pretty face or capable of delivering a well-timed joke, and Cake puts her dramatic skills on full display. She plays a woman suffering from a chronic pain syndrome who solves a mystery of a murdered girl at the same time.

#5. London Fields

Amber Heard stars in this thriller about a woman who inspires a blocked writer who is unaware of the woman’s murderous tendencies. It’s adapted from the novel by Marin Amis.

#4. Hot Summer Nights

View this post on Instagram

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

Take a Look at the Trailer for the Upcoming Tom Hanks Film About ‘Mister Rogers’

Fred Rogers (1928-2003) has been gone for 16 years now, but his memory and legacy is being kept alive by his legions of adoring fans. And now Hollywood is helping out as well.

Mister Rogers already got the documentary film treatment with 2018’s critically acclaimed Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, and now Tom Hanks will star as the iconic television host in the upcoming film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

The film is based on a 1998 article by Tom Junod for Esquire magazine. Junod’s article detailed the effect Rogers had on millions of fans (and Junod himself) because of his kindness and optimism.

From the reactions on social media, it looks like people are going to need a whole lot of Kleenex to get through this film.

Tom Hanks looks to be the perfect choice to play Fred Rogers, doesn’t he? A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood also stars Matthew Rhys, Chris Cooper, and Susan Kelechi Watson.

Check out the trailer for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

Fred Rogers hosted his famous television program from 1968-2001, and I think it’s pretty safe to say he made an enormous impact on people all over the world. Rogers’ home state of Pennsylvania even has a holiday to honor the man himself. 1-4-3 will now be celebrated every year on May 23 as a statewide day of kindness.

The film is set to open on November 22, 2019. As the person said in one of the tweets above, go ahead and take my money. NOW.

15 Questions About Disney Villains That Need to Be Answered Right Now

Have you had these questions burning a hole in your mind since you were a kid?

I think we all know the answer is YES.

#15. What was Captain Hook’s name before, you know…

Image Credit: Disney

He wasn’t born that way, I assume.

#14. Why didn’t Jafar just wish for a new kingdom?

Image Credit: Disney

Maybe hubris really was the thing that did him in.

#13. How does Hades die in his own river?

Image Credit: Disney

Don’t you think he would have thought of that?!

#12. Why didn’t the Magic Mirror just warn the Evil Queen to steer clear of Snow White altogether?

Image Credit: Disney

It really was throwing some serious shade.

#11. How did literally no one ever punish the cats in Lady and the Tramp?

Image Credit: Disney

As a child, this injustice bugged me – and it’s followed me into adulthood!

#10. If Cruella de Vil and Anita are the same age, why does the villain look so gray and aged?

Image Credit: Disney

Seriously, she can afford the good stuff. Moisturizer, I mean.

#9. What is Scar’s deal?

Image Credit: Disney

How did he become an outcast? He’s pretty terrible, but we don’t really know why.

#8. Was Maleficent really that petty?

Image Credit: Disney

I mean, she didn’t get invited to a party. Was it really that big of a deal?

#7. Why did the Queen of Hearts insist on croquet?

Image Credit: Disney

She had to know, deep down, that she sucked and was going to lose her cool.

#6. Why doesn’t anyone except Belle seem to notice how awful Gaston is?

Image Credit: Disney

They’re not in high school anymore – who puts up or admires buffoons into adulthood?

#5. Why doesn’t Prince John buy tailored clothes?

Image Credit: Disney

Does he enjoy literally not being able to fill his predecessors shoes?

#4. Yzma is supposedly a chemist, so why can’t she make her own eternal youth compound?

Image Credit: Disney

Maybe she’s just not very good?

#3. If Lady Tremaine knew her daughters needed a little help to get the prince’s attention, why didn’t she make sure they had better dresses?

Image Credit: Disney

She clearly wasn’t really trying.

#2. Esmerelda was not the only pretty girl in Paris, soo…

Image Credit: Disney

Why didn’t Claude Frollo just move on instead of threatening to literally burn the whole thing down?

#1. Was Dr. Facilier just hell-bent on evil control?

Image Credit: Disney

He lives in New Orleans – couldn’t he have just grabbed a hurricane and some gumbo and called it a day?

Fess up, baddies!

Here’s a Sneak Peek at the Trailer for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’

If you weren’t around for in 1986, it’s kind of hard to describe how popular Top Gun was, but trust me, it was HUGE. My older brother even entertained the idea of becoming a fighter pilot for about four days.

Like I said, it was HUGE.

Well, we’re all in luck again! Top Gun: Maverick is set to hit the big screen next summer and original stars Tom Cruise (Maverick) and Val Kilmer (Iceman) are reprising their roles. Joining them will be Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller (who plays Goose’s son from the 1986 film), and Ed Harris. The original Top Gun was directed by the late Tony Scott, and this time around, Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) is at the helm.

Here’s a sharp poster for the new film.

Concerning the action in the new film, Jon Hamm said, “We’re shooting the movie in, I think, 6K. So it’s incredibly hi-def. The aerial footage is mind-blowing. And it’s mostly practical. There’s not a lot of CG. Those guys are really up in planes and getting thrown around in multiple Gs.”

We don’t know a whole lot about the plot yet, but from the preview, it looks like it will be fully locked and loaded with action.

Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters on June 26, 2020. Check out the trailer below.

I don’t know about you, but I am excited about this one! Let’s hope that we get another love scene set to “Take My Breath Away.”
