King Mark 3,975 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Well,I think this might be interesting .Stubborn LotR fans who think the LotR trilogy is the pinnacle of movie making and film scoring and will defend that opinion to the death.12 year old Potter fans who belong in the Harry Potter Alliance against Darfur...!!^squeefart! Harry -Hermione shipperStar Wars fans who worship George Lucas as a god and have already seen The Clone Wars 5 times...
BLUMENKOHL 1,110 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 The King Mark variety...Look! No winky smiley! Bah...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,384 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Prequel fans.Because they insist on stubornly defending something that deserves no defense.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,384 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Strange that KM ommited the Trekkies.
Red 75 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Prequel fans.Because they insist on stubornly defending something that deserves no defense.Concurred. The others out of this list do have something to be proud of, while those who love the prequels (not like, not tolerate, love) really don't. Except for the scores, which are certainly the best things about them.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I voted Star Wars/George Lucas, even though I agree with Mark O.
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I vote for the Lord of the Rings "fanboys" (not influenced whatsoever by my disdain for the films). To be honest, I actually found the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy much better upon watching all six films in the saga in chronological order (one film per night).
Richard P 5,302 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 None of the above.I find John Williams fanboys the most irritating. People who insist that JW scoring a movie will always give us a masterpiece and that no other composer alive can match him.The endless AotC/WotW/etc bickering around here shows the truth in the first one.
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 "John Williams fanboys" are what makes the world go 'round.
Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Er......All those kind of fans get on my nerves.The SW purits too, and since lately, courtesy of Mr. Blank Space I could end becoming one, i wont vote
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I have never encountered a "Harry Potter fanboy" before (though I have encountered a "Harry Potter fangirl", who hated the films for the slightest deviation from the novels).
Quintus 6,494 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 SW fanboys, because unlike LotR fanboys; they defend sh*t dressed up as hit.
Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 SW fanboys, because unlike LotR fanboys; they defend sh*t dressed up as hit.And that's how LOTR earns a vote.
Richard P 5,302 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I have never encountered a "Harry Potter fanboy" before (though I have encountered a "Harry Potter fangirl", who hated the films for the slightest deviation from the novels).Strange. I don't like the first two much because of how closely they followed the book, and how little creative and general story liberties Columbus took to make the whole thing a little more exciting. I maintain he was the completely wrong director to handle Potter - I think he's got no imagination as a director at all. He just knows how to keep a bunch of kids in line.
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 If a character's eye color differed between the film and novel, she would get very angry.
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 It is hard to "kid" with this subject matter.
MissPadmé 17 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 The Star Wars fans who cannot form a single message without including a tar wars quote.. or referencing their love/hate for star wars..you know what I mean:"I was so nervous at my first driving lesson but I said to myself: Focus. Do it or do it not!"But the worst are "Oh George, plase stop hurting us!" damn I can't hear that phrase anylonger.. and overall they are just whiny people from the age of 13 to the age of 70 who cannot stop bit**ing against "Lucas" and what he does and who think somebody actually this world has soo much serious problems
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Odd as this may seem, I have never encountered people who would say things to that extent. Am I sheltered?
Jeshopk 8 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Worse than all of the above are cynical people who are annoyed by someone enjoying or defending something. I have no problem with "fanboys" of any stripe.
Quintus 6,494 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 SW fanboys, because unlike LotR fanboys; they defend sh*t dressed up as hit.And that's how LOTR earns a vote.Tee hee!
MissPadmé 17 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Worse than all of the above are cynical people who are annoyed by someone enjoying or defending something. I have no problem with "fanboys" of any stripe.All to easy!
John Crichton 4 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 All of the above.Yeah. If I leaned in any direction it might be the extreme tweenage Potter fans that shower places like Mugglenet with atrocious grammer, bad typing, and shallow thoughts.
Red 75 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I've never really been exposed to a lot of Potter fanatics. But I can imagine they would be pretty bad.
Quintus 6,494 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Worse than all of the above are cynical people who are annoyed by someone enjoying or defending something.What about the people who don't get annoyed? What about the people who just like to annoy the fanboys? For fun. People like me Forget the worst type of fanboy; the most pathetic (brilliant) type of fanboy is the breed that takes the bait in the first place. It's sad really, how some see it as their duty to defend their favourite franchise from any form of criticism, to the bitter end.I love LotR and I'm fine with the fact that some peeps just don't get it. In fact I just couldn't give a sh*t either way.
King Mark 3,975 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 oh yeah I forgot those Jerry Goldsmith fans
John Crichton 4 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I've never really been exposed to a lot of Potter fanatics. But I can imagine they would be pretty bad.For some reason when Williams was still scoring the films, and when the news was coming out that he was leaving, I'd peek around there to see what was being said. It was scary.
Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 If a character's eye color differed between the film and novel, she would get very angry.That could pose a problem in the final movie though...Anyway, Williams fan boys who think everything he touches is gold and anything anyone else does is vastly inferior (if in fact worth listening to at all) are just as annoying.
ChuckM 1 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I voted other: The Star Wars (excluding prequels) fans.The ones who can't stand the prequels just because they aren't quite as perfect as the originals.

indy4 160 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Other, 60s-80s fanboys.The ones who think every modern film/score is inferior to those in the past.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I just don't plain understand a "love" for Episodes I-III or Kingdom Of the Crystal Skull. Sorry, indy4, but they truly are terrible films.Oh, and I agree with your Other choice.
MissPadmé 17 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Other, 60s-80s fanboys.The ones who think every modern film/score is inferior to those in the past. Soooo True!!!
Guest macrea Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Williams fans who don't care about anything beyond Star Wars, Superman, Harry Potter and Spielberg sci-fi/genre.
MissPadmé 17 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Williams fans who don't care about anything beyond Star Wars, Superman, Harry Potter and Spielberg sci-fi/genre.This is even more true! and when they reduce Williams to that.. its very sad, he souldnt have done geisha but HP 4: Just stupid!
indy4 160 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Williams fans who don't care about anything beyond Star Wars, Superman, Harry Potter and Spielberg sci-fi/genre.This is even more true! and when they reduce Williams to that.. its very sad, he souldnt have done geisha but HP 4: Just stupid!Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Geisha, my appreciation for it has gone up a lot lately, and I have always considered it a good score.I would have preferred JW picked HP 4, because A) I prefer all 3 HP scores over Geisha (though CoS is close) and B) by picking HP, JW would probably have been putting 5 more scores on his plate.But I respect that as a creative artist, it was more enjoyable to do something different, so I respect his decision.
Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Other, 60s-80s fanboys.The ones who think every modern film/score is inferior to those in the past.The crowd of people not knowing any music before Jaws is much greater 'round these parts. There's a great lot of treasures written between the 30s and the 60s.
Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Other, 60s-80s fanboys.The ones who think every modern film/score is inferior to those in the past.The crowd of people not knowing any music before Jaws is much greater 'round these parts. There's a great lot of treasures written between the 30s and the 60s.that have not been released or are not available.That's why i dont have them.
Ollie 1,375 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 All of the above.Yeah. If I leaned in any direction it might be the extreme tweenage Potter fans that shower places like Mugglenet with atrocious grammer, bad typing, and shallow thoughts.You haven't seen the Godzilla fans in action yet. I have another "other" choice, fanboys who settle for mediocrity.
JWfangirl1992 18 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 ...the kinds that dont know when to shutup.Five more!!!^hehe irony.
Jill Sandwich 11,165 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Harry -Hermione shipperIt's so heartwarming that you remembered me.
John Crichton 4 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 All of the above.Yeah.

Engrish?
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I would be considered a "Nintendo fanboy" (which one could not determine from my avatar).
FattyMcButterpants 1 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 All of the above have nothing on Hans Zimmer fanboys."Some men can't be reasoned or argued with, some men just want to watch the world burn."A close second are Star Wars fanboys who can't resist to include a pointless, derogative stab at Lord of the Rings in every single point of defense.
