Which movie has the more annoying fans?

By which of course I mean Boondock Saints

I don't know a single fan of Coyote Ugly, so I guess I have to vote Boondock Saints.

fucking Boondock Saints goddamit

prob "boondock saints" on account of your average fan of that movie being a gross aggressive meathead

Understanding the noxiousness of CU fandom possibly depends on having been in yr early 20s at the time of the film's release, I just realized.

BS appeals to dunderheads of all ages, however.

the departed

I don't run into these people

"the plebs"

just Basterds

never knowingly met a Coyote Ugly fan, but Boondock Saints over just about anything

i don't think i've ever met a 'coyote ugly fan'

Never met a fan of either. In fact, I'd never even heard of 'Boondock Saints' until it came up in the action movies poll last month.

I knew before I came here that "Boondock Saints" was going to be one choice.

"Oh, you like Quentin Tarantino? You have to see this movie."

Back when my son was playing with the troubled kid next door, they'd play all sorts of action stuff like little kids do, from Batman & Spiderman to cops & robbers to army guys etc.

One day I noticed that my kid was going through a pretty heavy "guns" phase. He was walking around all strapped with his various nerf guns and cap guns. I watched him for a bit as he aimed his gun and started muttering gibberish under his breath for a minute before pulling the trigger. I was a bit confused as to what he was playing until later when it dawned on me that the 6 year old next door had been watching Boondock Saints.

Can think of few other movies whose fans have ensured I will never see the movie they're repping than Boondock Saints.

I was sure this was going to be Boondock Saints vs. Big Leibowski

Oh yeah. And I really like Big Lebowski (will probably rate it highly in the comedy poll), but I won't even bring it up in coversation anymore lest people think that I'm some kind of douche who dresses up in a bathrobe and drinks Kahlua.

Kahlua is nice

i mean i'm not not gonna drink it just cos some people have limited imaginations

I mean, I drink Kahlua sometimes. And I wear a bathrobe too! Just not out of the house at conventions dedicated to movies that came out in 1997.

Clerks fans over the age of 19

i see that you wrote Coyote Ugly by accident when clearly you meant Donnie Darko, so i will be voting for that.

Donnie Darko's played out. Now, Southland Tales fandom is where it's at.

I really do envy you guys for not ever having known any CU fans.

mordy otm

I don't know anyone who's seen CU, much less is a fan.

Do guys who go to the actual Coyote Ugly bars count as "fans?"

Not sure. The girls whose life ambition it is to work in/own one do, though.

one time during fleet week i saw a bunch of drunken sailors fall out of the door of coyote ugly into a big pile on the sidewalk, it was an amazing irl slapstick experience, i like everyone else had no idea there exist fans of the movie tho

can somebody explain to me why it is called Coyote Ugly but is full of conventionally pretty actresses please?

coyotes are v beautiful

that makes as much sense as every other explanation i've read

Inception and Nolan movies generally have worse fans imo.

There's no such thing as a Coyote Ugly 'fan' let alone a fanbase

I don't know, I've met a few Hooters "fans."

Still not as weird as the Rainforest Cafe fan coworker who had been to almost all of them. Coyote Ugly fandom sounds almost normal in comparison

I assumed this thread was gonna be lebowski vs. something

huh, this isn't a thread about kevin smith movies

or Amélie

Fight Clerks 2: The Big Boondockski

I stand tall and proud as an amélie stan

Blade Runner

there it is

how Shawshank and/or Green Mile missed this god only knows

uk verzh wd be Green Street vs something

wiyf:

As mentioned in the movie, the slang term "coyote ugly" refers to the feeling of waking up after a one-night stand, and discovering that your arm is underneath someone who is so physically repulsive that you would gladly gnaw it off without waking the person just so you can get away without being discovered. Coyotes are known to gnaw off limbs if they are stuck in a trap in order to facilitate escape.

i read that. it makes no sense in regard to the bar name or the film title

Well and when you are poor and lonely and stuff. I don't know what it's like for people with nice apartments and nice clothes.

Everything about Coyote Ugly is bad -- that's why it's so good!!

I don't think I know what Boondock Saints is, except that it was mentioned in the Greatest Action Movies Poll thread... And I only vaguely recall Coyote Ugly. What's up with their fans, that they deserve a thread of their own?

ty dayo for "there was a firefight," which despite hating boondock saints my ex girlfriend used to shout, unprovoked, at parties

I don't honestly know what Boondock Saints is either. I thought it was a cartoon/comic?

i think of boondock saints as "something omar little hates," not really clear on what it is, either.

lol HOOS

haha oh man

'boondock saints' is v v diff from 'the boondocks'

i can see the confusion with the name but lol

Boondock Saints would never feature a group of villains modeled after the older characters on Sanford and Sons

Boondock Saints is a shitty straight-to-video movie that many dim people like to compare to Tarantino.

Huh

First I think of this guy's voice saying "boondocks", then "comic" then I guess "shitty straight to video Tarantino"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVPJvk4t6SQ&noredirect=1

I don't know anyone who likes either of these movies. don't think anyone I know has even SEEN Boondock Saints.

boondock saints was not straight to video, it was low budget and didn't have a wide release but it was in theatres, for some reason. afterward it became a huge cult movie on vhs/dvd because it is violent and angsty and caters to the revenge fantasies of emotionally stunted man-children

huh
news to me! i'll admit to enjoying the deep shittiness of coyote ugly, but boondock saints sounds extremely unpleasant (and not in a good way).

ron jeremy has a minor role, so

meanwhile, this is hilarious

otm but you can also say "people who are way too into back to the future" and they'd mostly overlap

How into Back To The Future is way too into it?

mentioning anything about it ever

i like the movie but nerds need to shut up about it at some point

What about FIGHT CLUB? And people who still make fight club rules jokes this far into the 21st Century?

Still, yeah, Boondock Saints was the other movie I immediately thought of when I saw the thread title.

guess the matrix is just too obvious to mention

i think coyote ugly is funny when it comes on tv, and tyra's in it

People who unironically (claim to) espouse the nihilistic halfway "philosophy" of Fight Club are hilarious.

BTTF, Matrix and Shawshank all strike me as being too broadly popular to have anything like the cultish fan bases we're discussing here. Even with the pseudo spirituality of Maxtrix, there's nothing particularly exclusive or alienating about them. How exactly would you identify someone as a fan of these films unless you were discussing them directly?

Fight Club, BS and (at least in my experience) CU fans all seemed to have absorbed these films into part of their personalities, it seems to me. For better or (in these cases) for worse.

I seriously know a guy who makes Agent Smith-style jokes to this day

Also, a dude who works in my general area has either a desktop background or screensaver with the scrolling green symbol text. I have not looked closely enough to check.

i was at a party the other night and this guy i sort of know what like "i understand now--in death, a member of project mayhem has a name. his name is robert paulson." and then three dudes near him started chanting "his name is robert paulson. his name is robert paulson."

i got out of the room as fast as i could

*was like

whaooo

The biggest Boondock Saints stans I know are women!

I still don't think I know even one person who is a "fan" of either of these movies.

Are there lots of them out there? Can we get some recon on these people so I can decide who is most annoying?

http://www.fanfiction.net/movie/Coyote_Ugly/

Still getting updates.

http://www.fanfiction.net/movie/Boondock_Saints/

getting many more updates!

wow, 17 pages for boondock saints
gonna have to say they are more annoying just based on that

I imagine the fanfic is roughly equal in the amount of same-sex sexing that happens.

i have never seen either movie nor knowingly known anyone who has

worst fans are the big lebowski people

Also, a dude who works in my general area has either a desktop background or screensaver with the scrolling green symbol text. I have not looked closely enough to check.

i used to have this as a screensaver! it was really cool in 2000/2001 + when i was twelve

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaGrYLDSNZ0&feature=player_embedded#!

wait--this is an actual clip from the movie and not a parody, right?

holy shit.

"Also, a dude who works in my general area has either a desktop background or screensaver with the scrolling green symbol text. I have not looked closely enough to check."

this was the default screensaver on some linux distros. it's basically like freecell or minesweeper. but if the guy is running linux, he's probably a matrix fan.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lol

I am kind of surprised that Coyote Ugly got any votes

Yeah I'd never heard anything about some cult of fandom around that movie until this thread.

I saw a guy in the mall yesterday wo had just purchased a Boondock Saints lamp (???) and was showing it off o people.

I hope it was just random ppl walking by and not anyone he knew

Somebody should've rubbed his face in it an whacked him on the nose.

He was showing it off to the employees of the store I was in (not the one where he bought the lamp)
