People who think anything superhero or animated is for kids. Years ago when I saw Ted, an idiot father had three kids aged 3 - 8 with him. Remember reading about parents bringing their kids to Deadpool too. DO YOU NOT SEE THE RATINGS LOGO!?!? Ah, the Watership Down phenomenon, the video store occurrence that most frequently led to traumatized kids that either saw that or (god forbid) Grave of the Fireflies.

Remember reading complaints about “Shin Godzilla”.. that said the movie was too serious, too much like a disaster movie being a metaphor to a recent disaster and the governments reaction to it. .. I thought that’s funny cause the original “Gojira” released in Japan in 1954 was a serious disaster film that was a metaphor to recent events. "I resnted this movie, Shin Godzilla, and not even once did the monster kick someone's leg! What a rip-off!"

I used to work with a woman who one day was furiously going off about how disgusted she was with Watchmen. Apparently she'd taken her son and daughter under the age of 10. When my co-worker pointed out that it was rated R and even displays why it received said rating, she went "That's bullshit. Superheroes are for little kids. I shouldn't have to look at the rating on a superhero movie." Yep.

My bro told me about a video he saw (I think it was from Screen Rant) where they said that Marvel's upcoming Ultraman adaptation comic was more or less Marvel doing their own version of Pacific Rim.
Did they actually think Ultraman was an original Marvel creation and not one of Japan's most beloved sci-fi properties that dates back to the mid 1960's and still airs on Japanese television in one form or another to this very day?

It just happens as you get older. I enjoy pop culture and sci-fi stuff but there’s a lot of fandoms I don’t know crap about.
Seriously today my son (16) and I (37) were debating it Travis Scott was a rapper, basketball player or a country star.

When Sausage Party came out, every theater within 50 miles of me had signs posted on the doors saying something to the effect of, “Sausage Party is rated R for profanity use, drug use, and sexual situations. It is absolutely NOT for children. No refunds will be given if you take your kids to see it.”

Mentioned this a few weeks back in the Peter Green thread. But it really pisses me off when people call the mid-70s “Rumours” line-up of Fleetwood Mac the original.

Yeah, it was screen rant. Also Guillermo mentions that ultraman heavily inspired Pacific Rim

I found out today that one of my coworkers had never heard of Quentin Tarantino or any of his movies.

She rented Kick-Ass for them and thought it was a kids film because of superheroes and, also, and I quote, "a cute little girl on the cover." Boy, was she in for a rude awakening when she saw how gory that movie was. It was even the same thing when she took my then-6-year-old cousin to see Kill Bill vol. 1 in theaters. My sister and I were shocked. My aunt said, "I didn't think it would be that bad." My aunt is a Quentin Tarantino fan, but come on, she should have known what to expect from him. She probably thought it wouldn't be as bad as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, or Jackie Brown because the trailers gave off a vibe of being a martial arts flick.

Remember reading about parents bringing their kids to Deadpool too. DO YOU NOT SEE THE RATINGS LOGO!?!? When I was a lil' boy in 90s, our parents used to buy us new "cartoon VHS's" now and then. It was either a great animes like Candy Candy, Maple Town Monogatari or Starzinger > then there were stuff like Kyōfu Densetsu Kaiki! Frankenstein - I remember so lividly the scenes: ripping eyes out, burning people alive, killed dog, suicides, etc. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) When my parents got a hold of the tape and understood what it was, they took it away from me for a while. But I insisted that it was one of my favourites! That's probably exactly the time I found Resident Evil and was hooked!

He did a movie called the Aristocrats with Paul Provenza. It’s 100 comedians all telling there version of the same filthy, filthy joke. At one screening, a grandmother brought her grandchildren. 30 minutes!!! In she went to the theatre manager “This is not the Aristocats!!!” It’s starts with George Carlin and only gets filthier from there. Took her a half hour to realize this wasn’t a cartoon cat movie.

Well here's this out of the way: "Wrestling is fake." Oh no, those dead people are definitely dead, and those broken limbs that broke right on TV are very broken, and the concussion thing is totally true especially in that one case where a guy killed his wife and child and then himself. ".........well obviously not that stuff. But everything else is fake." ..........yeah, pretty much. I'm totally ok with people saying wrestling is fake because it's supposed to be. Just because some people get hurt doesn't make it real because accidents happen all the time in wrestling.

I got an example. The other night a bunch of us were talking about out first concerts. Now sure I was one of the few there over 40,but when I mentioned my first concert was Sha Na Na pretty much everyone under 40 looked at me and said "what is Sha Na Na?"
Lots of people are as obsessive about media knowledge as others.
Just like how for almost 2 years I had been making Twin Peaks references around someone,before I learned she had never seen it cause "That show aired when I was 6."

But then the same guys had never seen Magnum vs Tully I quit cage match. Which surprised a bunch of us.

Why do you care if people know a movie is a remake or a song isn't the original?
Edit to add: this sounds snarky but it's not meant to. I just genuinely couldn't care less about anyone's fandom other than my own.

I just learned that my co-worker thought Keith David and Sam Jackson were the same dude. When it was pointed out that Mace Windu did not, in fact, fight Roddy Piper in They Live he said "whatever they all look alike".
That quickly went from "those two getting mixed up is a first for me, but I guess I can sorta see it" to "oh dear lord EJECT EJECT EXIT CONVERSATION WALK AWAY"
I'm glad I don't have to do much with this dude.

Which I feel sad typing that. I'm going to call out myself here. I don't keep up with the music scene, usually only hear about a hot new act a couple years or so after their global debut. So, despite him already being quite well known to most, the first time I heard the name "Post Malone", I thought I was super witty for deciphering the internet's new nickname for Karl "The Mailman" Malone.
