Fanboy or Fascist?

“What the box office success of the re-released Special Editions told Hollywood is that the only way to create another global phenomenon is to make a new STAR WARS movie. 1997 was the start of the modern-day fanboy/geek culture that now runs Hollywood. Fanboy culture (Comic-Con, Harry Potter, Twilight , The Hunger Games, The Lord of the Rings , J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon, Marvel comics, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Glee , Aint-It-Cool-News, Attack of the Show ) is a groupthink mentality that claims to be democratic, what with its we-know-what’s-best-because-we’re-fans ethic, but is really pop culture fascism. And it’s the fans’ demand (remember, fan is short for fanatic), that led to Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace — the most hyped (and possibly most reviled) blockbuster in movie history.” [ Some Came Running ]
