If the movie isn't out yet, can it have a fandom?
never posted before, but this looked like something that belonged, maybe it doesn't...
So some bright person comes up with the idea to jump on the historical movies bandwagon, and make a movie about Hannibal- the General, not the cannibal. They decide to cast Vin Diesal as Hannibal.
You would expect discussion as to Vin D. playing Hannibal. Not too wanky, all agree- bad idea.

Of course with every historical movie, you attract the history buffs.
Therin lies the wank.
Scroll down a page and watch the Neo Punic wars begin as LONG LIVE ROME barcelona takes on... well everyone else on the topic of who was greater, Hannibal or Scipio Africanus. Chock full of capslock, insult flinging and a person who never gives sources, then demands everyone else gives sources, but refuses to read them. Confused yet? Even those who start out level headed end up joining in the flinging of historically based insults (you carthaginian baby killler!) and the sig battle by replying to LONG LIVE ROME with various pro- carthaginian sig "shouts" and eventually the incorporation of net speak, as barcelona refuses to do anything but restate its argument over and over and over instead of actually replying.
