Normally I don't really care that people jump onto the bandwagon of cool shows/movies/book series once they get popular, that's fine. Gets more fans for stuff, so its all good. But, if you are gonna be talking about said things at least try hard to know what you are talking about.
There's a group circulating the internet about getting Nathan Fillion the rights to Firefly so that he can resurrect the television series. I saw this show from day one and loved it. The network it was on did kinda hose us by not showing all the episodes and even then the ones they did show they aired out of order. Anyway, people in this group have been making comments, such as bringing Walsh back from the dead (as he died in the movie) and one lady even named her baby Anara. Dudes. Really? It's WASH, no 'L', and INARA, with an I.
This takes me back to when I went to see Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows Part 1 in the theatre. I went to the 1:00 AM showing hoping for a somewhat empty theatre. It was kinda empty but my husband and I had a set of two girls sitting in front of us. They were quiet, so I was fine. So, MadEye Moody dies and they mention his name, stating that he didn't make it and the girls in front of us look at eachother and say, "Who's Moody?" This got my nerves going, I'm not gonna lie. I let is slide and then later Dobby is mentioned and again the girls are puzzled and start whispering back and forth, trying to figure out who this person is. They did this several more times throughout the movie. I was livid, to say the least. I totally get that some people don't want to/like to read novels, especially when there are seven in the series. That's fine. But when you go to a movie... and it is the seventh in a series of movies, watch the other six. And if you were a total dumbass and didn't watch the previous movies, do not sit there talking during the current one. It really grates on the nerves of everyone around you, especially when you have the misfortune of sitting in front of someone who gets so worked up about Harry Potter some people might call it 'rabid'.
I got my revenge on the talking girls. Once the credits started to roll I turned to my little sister and loudly discussed with her all the deaths that occur in the final installment and how these deaths go down. The two girls got appalled looks on their faces and even shot me some dirty glances. I was proud of myself.
Read the books or watch the previous movies. Know how to spell the names of television show characters that you claim to be obsessed over.
Do. Your. Homework.
