This one, for sure. I never thought it was going to be amazing but it looked like it was going to be a lot of fun. Alas.

If you want to be friends with them, send them a message. It’s worth a try!

Does misleading trailers count? Because Pitch Black is a really solid, fun sci-fi movie but the trailers made it look like it was All Horror-All the Time... and it was not. I still really like it but I felt a little betrayed by the marketing there.

For shit movies with good trailers:

Suicide Squad, well it looked like it was a lot more fun at any rate.

Godzilla 2014, lord some of those shots in the trailer, holy shit. Too bad the rest of it was fucking terrible.

It's a fun movie! I only wish I'd gotten to watch it more than once.

Well, as an adult, you start to realize just how filthy a lot of 90s cartoons were :D

Those writers that can't ever finish anything really shouldn't participate in charity events. It's one thing to leave your own work unfinished, but abandoning something that has been paid for is not cool.

Lol wow at that comment. If I was the author I'd probably respond with something like "Maybe I do it just to piss you off, hun. :)"

Not sure on the first.

For the second and third... Beowulf. Looked great from the trailer... then I was like "what the fuck did I watch?" In 3D.

My friend has someone who comments on EVERY ONE OF HER FICS about how much they hate a particular character. Like... Paragraphs about how this character is a bitch. Which okay might be alright if they were the villain in this fic, but they're one of the main pov characters and the author's fave! Not cool

Entitlement. Unless you've paid for art or fic, creators don't owe you shit.

It's on Amazon for sure :o I think I've seen it out from behind the paywall a couple of times but at least renting it is super cheap if it's not.

Oh god, that would get old so quickly.

Oh shit, I am drawing a blank, hold on I need to IMDB.

{TWO HOURS LATER}

Apparently I also spent the whole movie thinking Anna Hathaway was Zooey Deschanel so that made it harder to find but... Colossal.

Trailer was all, "Heee, look at this cutesy movie!" when in reality it was like, "Hey so we're going to punch you in the face with feelings. Then knee you in the groin. Then mace you while you're down."

I haven't been so upset at a movie since Pan's Labyrinth.

Once I was in a fandom where a really wet behind the ears fangirl (old enough to know better, just... naive) was super excited because she chatted with the creators and sent them links to all the best fanfics (including her own, which was terrible) and didn't understand why the rest of us were like... girl, no. This was back in the day when a copyright holder could get ALL the fics deleted off FFnet with a single cease and desist. She was soooo upset and didn't understand why people were being so mean to her.

Oh, agreed. I've won bids on Fandom Trumps Hate in previous years, and though the artists are usually pretty good at getting their work done, I'm yet to see a writer deliver :/

I saw Penn and Teller live and they always do a meet and greet after their shows. this one woman standing next to me kept poking Penn in the back with her finger and I could tell it was pissing him off. (I'm just glad he didn't think I was the one doing it!)

From a writer: Reviews of books are for other readers to gauge whether this is something they want to read. As the author, you're welcome to read them, but you're not entitled to only glowing reviews, and for the love of Mike, please do not engage with a review you find negative. EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION.

Not everything you write will please everyone and that's okay!

It's funny, because that exact type of writer is why I won't read wips until they're completely done, but an acquaintance of mine that has the same problem came the fuck down on me for taking that position because "not getting feedback during the process kills [their] motivation to write it" so it's like... lmao getting feedback doesn't help you either so why should anyone suffer abandoned story after abandoned story just to give you a few buttpats?

I didn't say that, because, as you say, not helpful, but... I understand the frustration, haha.

Ehhh, I agree there's sometimes too much entitlement, but I feel weird drawing the line at 'unless you paid for it'.

If I sign up for a fic or art exchange and it's expected that the creator will work (within reason) with my likes and dislikes, it's not entitled (imo) to be upset if I receive something that literally has all of my dislikes and none of my likes.

Idk if it counts, but the opening to Death Parade is absolutely the most charming, happy party jam with an incredibly feel-good montage of the characters dancing and being cute-- and then the series itself is brutally upsetting, at times cruel, existentially depressing and violent. It's such whiplash!

+1. As someone that's gotten screwed over on Yuletide more years than not, I don't really think it's entitlement to expect someone to follow through on an obligation they placed on themselves.

The trailer was kind of cringy in places, but I'm hoping it plays better on the show, especially after the pilot.

Oh yikes

I only read completed fic. That option is always checked.

Why the hell would someone go to an event like that just to be obnoxious to the person they presumably came to see?
