You know what’s bullsh*t? Audiences with low expectations.
It seems like Audiences today seem to have very low expectations when it comes to movies, especially when those movies are revamps of older franchises. It’s like whenever it’s announced that a new movie is coming out, and it’s associated with a well-known franchise, it’s like a majority of people who hear about it have to give it a negative reaction right off the bat without thinking about even giving it a chance. Worst of all, they like to compare it to something else that is highly regarded as one of the worst movies ever made.
For example, let’s say they announce a movie that’s a revamp of a classic universally-known cartoon like one of the Hanna-Barbara cartoons. Once people hear about it, what’s they’re immediate reaction? They compare it to the Tom & Jerry movie!
Or let’s say they make a movie based on a popular video game franchise like Mario. What’s the response? They have to compare it to the Live Action Super Mario Bros. Movie!
I don’t understand why everyone always has to shut down revamps so easily the minute they get announced and why they have to compare them to disasters that happened years ago. Yes, I understand those are terrible movies, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen again. Times have changed since those days. A revamp can be good if it’s put in the right hands.
However, if a new Batman movie comes out, there is always massive hype for it! Nobody ever compares those to Batman & Robin! Same with Star Wars movies. Those always get massive hype, and nobody ever compares them to The Phantom Menace...or the Star Wars Holiday Special! So why must franchises like those be treated differently than cartoon revamps or adaptations from video games?
I can actually make the same argument about movies adapted from current TV shows. People like to brand those as nothing more than 90-minute toy commercials!
Even I admit that not all cartoon revamps and video game movies are good, even if some people think otherwise about my opinion, but I just don’t think it’s fair that so many people have to jump to conclusions and judge these movies when we barely know anything about them yet, and why they always have to compare them to a bad example that happened decades ago. I mean, if I hear one day that Don Bluth is coming out of retirement and making a new film, I’m not gonna say, “Eww, it’s gonna suck just like A Troll in Central Park!” That would be the immature response. What I would do is stay optimistic about the idea and give his new project a chance if I’m interested, and if not, I’ll just let it be.
That’s what I think everyone should do, but it’s what most people don’t do, and that’s bullsh*t!

Actually, funny you should mention Don Bluth, he is making a movie of a video game series he made a long time ago, called. "Dragon's Lair."

You know what’s bullsh*t?! People who don’t know an inferior thing when they see one!
There are movies, TV shows, and video games that were made into great ones, got all the praise they deserve for the right reasons—like great story, well-developed and lovable characters, appealing visuals, great gameplay, functional controls, and hard work and great effort put into everything else in them—and even start well-known and loved franchises that went on going strong for decades. However, there are things like those in said franchises that came out afterwards that are follow-ups, tie-ins, reboots, and things like those that are not as great as the things before it, and some of those things that came later are still great, but most of them are not so great, as they don’t have as much heart in them.
Now, keep in mind that this rant is NOT to forbid you from liking those things! If you like them, that’s fine. I know that everyone has their own likes and dislikes on certain things, and that’s fine. After all, the world would be kind of dull if everyone in the world feels the exact same way about anything. The problem with the people who like them is that there are those who praise the hell out of them, treating them as if they’re the greatest things since sliced bread, and they shove their love for those things down other people’s throats or in those other people’s faces. That’s where these people doing all this have failed to realize that these things are not as good as they keep making them out to be. Also, that kind of behavior is just giving those other people reason to like those things less or hate those things more, depending on the person. Not to mention that any of these people who like, love, or even insanely obsess over these follow-ups or whatever in a franchise would b*tch, moan, cry, or even get angry, especially to the point where they go into a flame war, when they hear or see any comments or reviews that say anything negative about those things or do not give those things enough praise! Now, are these the kind of people that we want in this world? I DON’T THINK SO!
Now, guys, I don’t care if you like a later installment of a film series, video game series, book series, or whatever. I don’t care if you like a TV show that’s a tie-in to a movie that it’s based on. I don’t care if you like TV shows based on movies, movies based on video games, or whatever. I don’t care if you like reboots, remakes, or whatever. I don’t care if you like anything that got a lot of flak and a little praise for all the right reasons. Just know that they are LEAGUES from being one of the greatest things out there, and many people who have actually seen, watched, played, or read them hate them, dislike them, or not like them as much as you do, and mostly for very good reasons: because they have not-so-good stories, watered down characters or new ones that can annoy most people, terribly unappealing or bland visuals, not-so-good gameplay, not-so-functional controls, and not as much hard work and effort put into everything else in them. So, before you go around making complaints, throwing tantrums, or starting fights, arguments, or flame wars with people who made comments or reviews that show that they don’t like these things as much as you do or don’t like them at all, you need to stop for a moment, take a look back at those inferior things that you like so much, think hard about the actual good reasons that many of those people give as to why say or think are bad, not-so-good, or any other negative level, take all that into consideration, and realize that these inferior things are not as good as you’ve been making them out to be, and that those things are not well-recepted for good reasons. You must start knowing inferior things when you see them and accept the fact that there are people who are not well-receptive of them like you are.
There are actually people who like inferior things like these and are actually mature and respect the opinions of people who don’t like those things as much as they do or don’t like them at all. People who like inferior things like these and are actually immature and don’t at all respect the opinions of people who don’t like those things as much as they do or don’t like them at all, on the other hand, are bullsh*t!

YOU KNOW WHATS BULLLLLLLLLLLsh*t?
Daylight savings.
Why do we have it? It’s so inconvenient!
Okay, I understand how it works: The Earth is tilted on an axis, so as it rotates, it’s facing the sun differently during certain parts of the year, which is why during the summer and winter time, there is either less or more light in the sky depending on where you are in the world.
But why is it that we have to set the clocks back an hour in the fall, and set them an hour ahead in the spring? This goes back to the 18th century when Benjamin Franklin came up with this idea to save money on candles, but now that we have electricity, candles are no longer a necessity.
Still, it is annoying that we still have to change our clocks all the time. Most modern machines change automatically, but a lot of them don’t. Not to mention, it always throws off your body clock causing you to oversleep after the day you set the clocks ahead.
I remember growing up, the day we set the clocks back was the last weekend in October, and the day we set the clocks ahead was the first weekend in April, but then in 2007, some a**hole thought it would be a good idea to change that! Now we set the clocks back the first weekend in November, and we set the clocks ahead the second weekend in March! What the ****, man? That doesn’t make any sense at all! Why would they change something that we are so used to? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
I’ve been hearing that there has been talk about getting rid of the whole time change thing altogether. Well, if that does happen, that’s fine with me, because then I won’t have to put up with changing my clocks anymore, because that’s BULLsh*t!

You know what’s bullsh*t? Plural words.
I hate plurals. There are no rules.
The plural word for can is cans. The plural word for pan is pans. Those make sense, but the plural word for man is men. Why is it so necessary to single that word out from the others?
Then there’s dish and dishes. That makes sense. Wish; wishes. So does that mean the plural of fish would be fishes? No, it’s just fish. It’s the same word. Same case goes for moose; the plural word is the same word. However, the plural word for goose is geese, so why don’t we pluralize moose as meese? What about mongoose? Why do we say mongooses instead of mongeese?
Then there’s ox and oxen. So would the plural word for box be boxen? No, it’s boxes.
Mouse, mice, louse, lice, house, hice...sorry, houses. Then there’s spouse and spice, which are two completely different words each with their own plurals. What about rice? If you had a single grain of rice in your hand, would you call it a rouse? No, you just say “grain of rice”.
The plural word for tooth is teeth, so would the plural word for Booth be beeth? No, it’s booths.
The plural word for Sphinx is Sphinges. Where did they get that? Also, has their ever been more than one Sphinx? So would the plural word for lynx be lynges? No, it’s lynxes. What did you expect?
Octopus, octopi, hippopotamus, hippopotami, bus, bi...sorry, buses.
**** plurals. There is no consistency with them whatsoever, and that’s bullsh*t.

You know what’s BULLLLLLLLLsh*t?
Alarm clocks.
These were invented to help people wake up on time just in case they oversleep, but there are so many things about them that are so inconvenient, I don’t know where to begin.
First of all, setting the clock and the alarm can be frustrating as hell because you never know which buttons to press and how long you’re supposed to hold them down for.
Also, a lot of alarm clocks have bright lights on them that glare through your eyelids when you’re trying to sleep.
Then of course comes the time when the alarm goes off at the time you set it for. It doesn’t matter if you set it for the beeper or the radio, it’s so loud that it gives you a ****ing heart attack! Turning them off is always a **** too! You can try every god d**n button on that ****ing thing, and it won’t turn off! It also doesn’t help much if you’re still half asleep and can’t figure out what you’re pressing! Which button do I press? Oh, of course, the snooze button, but that only shuts it off for five minutes before it comes on again!
A lot of newer model alarm clocks are programmed to change automatically for daylight savings, but that’s inconvenient because the rules of daylight savings changed! So if you have an alarm clock that was made before 2007, and you have to get up early on the last Sunday in October, then you’d better do the math and set your alarm accordingly, otherwise, you’re going to oversleep an hour!
A lot of these issues may be inconvenient, but I’d much rather have these inconveniences with an alarm clock than have an alarm clock that doesn’t work at all! Yes, I’ve actually had a couple of alarm clocks that just stopped working and only worked whenever they wanted to!
That’s bullsh*t.

YOU KNOW WHAT’S BULLLLLLLLLsh*t?
Jaywalkers!
If you drive a car around on a regular basis whether it be to or from work or whatever, you’re almost always guaranteed to see jaywalkers on a regular basis! They just run across the street not caring about the traffic! This is why we have crosswalks, but nobody ever uses them! They’d rather just jaywalk, which is not only dangerous and stupid, but it’s also illegal!
A lot of times, a jaywalker doesn’t even bother to look before crossing the street! They just blindly walk across at a regular speed without even looking at the oncoming traffic! It’s as if they’re trying to cause an accident, or get themselves killed, or get the guy who ran over them arrested! That’s right! I’m actually not joking! If you kill a person with your car, you will get arrested, even if it is just an accident!
This problem escalates even further when it’s nighttime, and it’s even harder to see them!
There are just too many people in the world who are just idiots who don’t follow the rules, and if we did, there won’t be much problems, and that’s bullsh*t!

YOU KNOW WHAT’S BS?
A lot of TV shows have their own commercial bumpers, but some TV stations have their own personalized bumpers for the shows they play. However, what’s so BS about the latter is a lot of times, whenever a brand new show starts airing on the network, they don’t bother creating a new bumper for it. They just use a generic bumper for the station itself not indicating what show we are watching. I’ve seen this happen on Nickelodeon, the USA Cartoon Express, and even Cartoon Network has done it! I don’t get why they do this so often. It’s like the people in charge of the station are too lazy to make a new bumper! I hate that sh*t! What’s up with the lack of consistency? I want to know what I’m watching, not making a random guess! Talk about a lack of imagination!
That’s BS!

You know what’s BS?
A lot of times, I’ve noticed there are times of the year where there are days weeks and months that have a special theme to them. Ever since the advent of the Internet, people have been making up their own holidays, and it seems like everyone on the internet has been jumping on the bandwagon with them.
For example, March 10 is known as Mario Day, which makes sense because if you look at how it’s spelled sometimes, it looks like it spells out “MAR10”. Then there’s March 14, which is known as Pie Day, because 3.14 is Pi. Then there’s May 4, Star Wars Day. “May the 4th be with you.” This one seems to be getting a lot of reputation. Even Disney has jumped on the bandwagon of celebrating this holiday. Then there are all these other holidays where I have no idea where they came from: National Puppy Day, National Hot Dog Day, National Pancake Day, Autism Awareness Day, Make Fun of Your Boss Day, Give Someone a Hug Day, and the list goes on! But the worst one is Opposite Day, which always seems to come up at pure random! Knock it the hell off!
It doesn’t end there either. There are even some weeks of the year where I can’t figure out the origins. Like how the last week in January is known as Wintereenmas, a time to celebrate video games, or how the first week in August is known as Shark Week on Discovery Channel. What about Kwanza, the week after Christmas? A lot of people told me it’s a made up holiday, but I’m calling bullsh*t on that one because I see it on real calendars!
It’s not just the days either. Sometimes, entire months are dedicated to special things. Like how November is known as “No-Shave November” or how February is known as “Black History Month”. I have nothing against those, but I don’t understand where they came from. However, the biggest one I have a problem with is May being known as “Mermaid Month”. DeviantArt seems to make a really big deal out of this. Though May is also known there as “Cream and Vanilla Month”, as if having one theme to the month isn’t enough!
It’s like you can’t live a single day of the year without seeing people jump on some random bandwagon just because of when it is! Or heck, what about the days of the week? Taco Tuesday? Throwback Thursday? Even the simple days of the week can’t escape this madness!
I don’t know where these ideas came from and why so many people have to find the need to jump on the bandwagon to celebrate, but all I can say is...that’s BS!

You know what’s BS? Picky websites!
The Internet is supposed to be a place where you can find any information imaginable, but some websites have such high standards that they won’t even let you use them without going too deep.
Like let’s say I want to get dinner out, but I’m not sure what kind of food the restaurant has. I go onto the website, view the menu, but then it says, “Start your order”. Then it asks me to type in my zip code, find a restaurant near me, and enter a delivery address! I didn’t want to do any of this sh*t! I just want to view the freaking menu! Is it really a taboo thing for me to know what kind of food a restaurant has before I go there? That would be like if you walk blindly into a store and immediately, an employee gets right up in your face asking what you want and tries to get all your information out of you! You can’t rush someone like that!
I especially hate websites where they won’t allow you to access anything on it unless you sign up for an account with them. How many things do we have to have that are for members only? This problem escalates with sites that you have to pay to use! Streaming services, dating sites, Photobucket…there’s no way around it! Everything you do in the Internet requires membership and payment now!
Another thing I hate are the passwords they require. A lot of websites are very precise about your password. It has to be a specific number of characters, you have to use lowercase and uppercase letters, you have to use numbers, and you have to use symbols. Some sites tell you not to use certain symbols, which makes it even more complicated! This makes your password much easier to forget, and when you do, they send you an email to a link that resets your password and text you a passcode too! I especially hate websites that force you to change your password every month or so and say you can’t use a previous one! How am I supposed to remember 50 complex passwords that I’ve already used? I understand this is for security purposes, but it’s a little excessive.
The worst I’ve seen is if I need help with something on a website and I can’t seem to find any way to contact anyone. Lots of sites have customer service, but some of them send you on a wild goose chase to find it, and when you finally do, what do you get? A list of questions to choose from! I didn’t want this garbage! This isn’t a help desk! It’s just an F.A.Q.! And guess what? My question is not there! None of the questions are remotely close to what I want to ask! Why must websites be so insistent in keeping their lost clients in the dark all the time? It’s like when you ask someone a simple question about a historical event or figure, and they respond with: “Here. Here’s a history book. Find your answer there.”
The Internet is just continuing to grow less and less user friendly! They don’t simply show you anything, they never answer your questions, and they force you to go through the hassle of signing up and changing your passwords! That’s BS!

YOU KNOW WHAT'S BS???
The BS Man once did a rant about Christmas aftermath and how it starts and ends whenever it wants, but I find that Halloween has the same problem. In fact, I think the commercialism of Halloween might be even worse than Christmas!
In my vision, the Halloween season always happens in the month of October, but in a lot of people's cases, it starts on Labor Day Weekend, which in Disneyland's eyes is the Friday before the first Monday in September! That's BS! That should be for back to school time! But no, that now happens in the middle of August, which is even more BS! Though Disney World has it even worse! They start their celebrating in the middle of August! Though, understandably, they only have their festivals on select days while Disneyland does theirs every day.
Still, it's just mind-boggling that every year, Halloween festivities seems to be starting earlier and earlier every year. The worst I've seen, people start celebrating Halloween the minute 4th of July is over! That's just what we need, a glutton of a holiday that lasts 1/3 of the entire year! And I mean it too. Halloween happens at the very tail end of October, unlike Christmas, which comes a week before the end of December.
With Christmas, it's somewhat understandable why it starts right after Halloween. As an American, I can see why Thanksgiving is very important in a lot of people's eyes, and I agree with them, but the reason it gets ommitted in terms of commercialism a lot is because Thanksgiving is strictly an American holiday, and not everyone celebrates it. Also, theoretically, Christmas officially ends on January 6. At least that's how it is celebrated in the Catholic Church. So I can understand that. In fact, Halloween is the same way. Right after it is All Saints Day and All Souls Day. That's what it's true name, "All Hallows Eve", means, so wouldn't that technically make Halloween a religious holiday too like Christmas? No! Of course not, because many people like to view Halloween as the Devil's holiday! What a bunch of hypocrites!
The bottom line is, I'm really getting baffled at how the Halloween season keeps getting longer and longer, and how people start celebrating it as early as July 5! At least wait until summer's over! That's BS!
