No intro needed here, just need to post a new Top _____ List. :
5. DVD vendors at conventions - How dare you price all of your DVDs for three times the price listing on Amazon.com. I saw a copy of the Region 2 Freddy's Nightmare DVD at a horror convention going for $25. I got mine online for $8. I bought a region 2 DVD of Popcorn for $20 from that same vendor. I recently found and bought that same Popcorn DVD...plus 9 other movies for the same price in a boxset. Bootleggers are usually nice though, eventhough they are freeloading bastards.
4. Dickhead independent directors - The director of Slice of Life is the first that comes to mind. If people don't like your film or you know that someone didn't enjoy your film, accept their opinion and be happy that you atleast made something. Don't be a smug prick and initiate a situation that you know should have just been ignored.
3. Dickhead mainstream movie studios/producers/distributors (AKA Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes can blow me) - Stop being about money. Yes I understand that a great income of money is an important part about being a producer, but seriously. Don't make a film that sucks just because you know it'll make bank. As for studios, make films to the best of your ability. If you can't make a good film, then stop.
Here is an abridged list of companies on my bad side:
Lionsgate (For Paranormal Activity and Saw)
Platinum Dunes (For being incompetent)
Paramount (Basically for your shitty DVD releases you fucking whores)
Universal (on my bad side since 1996)
Mill Creek (Fuck your 50 movie packs)
2. Know-it-alls - Yes I understand the irony that I'm displaying here. But I'm not referring to myself at this moment. I'm talking about the people who will treat the average or casual viewer like a retard by giving them a brief (usually longer than 20 minute) synopsis of the history of horror cinema, laden with a plethora of various geeky pieces of horror trivia and possibly even getting a boner from the stench of their own douche-baggery. I understand answering a question if you're asked, but if you are someone who has to justify your love of horror by spurting off into long rambling periods then atleast do everyone a favor and check your ego at the door. Note: Just because someone is a columnist for Fangoria or something like that, that means nothing as to their actual knowledge of the genre. Alot like to think they do but they actually fall in to the category below.
1. Those who know nothing while acting as though they are the Merriam-Webster of horror -
These are the kind of people who watch a movie they liked, a movie that hasn't been heard of by many people, and instantly call it a world-renowned classic. They are the type of people who scoff at opinion and accept all that they've learned from google as the ultimatum in any argument. They are the people who will research so that they sound knowledgeable for their online "buddies". They are those who read a list of classic films and refer to them as the greats or as their favorites without ever actually watching them. You get the picture.
As a final word, I'll say fuck people, especially internet people.
