Fan Circles...From Hell: Part 1st - Introduction

So I was thinking again about potential ideas for topics and this one just hit me over the head like the reverse side of a hammer. Fan Circles... These are those kind of things that separate those who enjoy something and those who live it. Any big Band/Show/Series/Chicken Puppet has these. Know what a Trekkie is? If not then google it. These are the people who know all the character connections in the twilight series, every woman or woman like alien kirk bedded and what planet or ship he was on, and how many times Mike and the bots say "I thought I was dale?" I wanna delve in and see what makes them tick. The kicker is that there are limitless groups of hardcore fans out there and that gives a lot to cover. Drop a comment if there is some set of people you want to hear me get bent out of shape about. Ever seen a person say "live long and prosper" while pulling a gang sign. Just what the fuck is that anyway? Well I know that answer. Next time....Next time...

Looney Tunes...

Off and on lately I have seen that Cartoon Network has been showing "classic" Looney Tunes during the day. Now Cartoon Network itself is a whole other argument but leaving that aside it's the fucking Looney Tunes. When one thinks of the Looney Tunes what is the first thing that comes to your mind. Bugs Bunny is more than likely the answer you come up with. If it was Space Jam then I'm sorry..I'm so sorry. Unfortunately Bugs Bunny is the answer that people give and it angers me. There are many more Looney Tunes characters out there who don't just interact with Bugs but had their own things going on separate from him. Daffy Duck for example had his own cartoons that didn't just consist of him getting confused by the titular rabbit and shot in the face with a shotgun. These are my personal favorites. Do they get shown? Rarely. Almost every short I saw was from Bugs and whats worse is that most of them were the newer shorts. Right... the ones with new voices and newer looking animation. These were always that kind of black spot in the franchise I never like to remember and they show them all the time. Unless there is some sort of rights issue keeping them from showing older stuff I can't figure out why they don't put more variety in it. Some people might bring up The Looney Tunes Show and there is little I have to say on this. I mean taking classic characters and putting them into a sitcom like setting for these boring ass half hour episodes is insulting to the fans and the creators of the classic shorts. I have seen a few episodes so don't just thing this is one of those old guys hate new stuff thing going on here. To also touch point don't think that the Bugs bashing at the beginning means I hate Bugs Bunny. I am quite the fan. I just like the rest a bit better. Before I go you may want to know what we are up against in The Looney Tunes Show. If you really want to know just imagine hearing this song being sung karaoke style at a party held at Bugs Bunny's house by Elmer Fudd.
