Darth Flatus Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I think the matrix thing died when the nerds found out they could not fly or do kung fu and realised fat ppl look bad in leather/ Also the sequels pretty much killed off any coolness about it.

Oerwinde Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 HP books have more plot holes than jk rowlings life is worth and the movies are just an embarrasment to british citizens everywhere. so really no one above the age of 12 would be a HP fan unless your counting the sad sad people at mugglenet. and trekkies are just as bad...not only does the star trek tv series suck beyond all logic and belief but trekkies have a tendancy to look like fat goofy pimple faced geeks sporting T-shirts that say '' I Luv (insert ugly alien female character from star trek here)''. but not all of them are like that so no hard feelings <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love the HP books. I can't put them down. And the movies are excellent. You won't see me showing up to the premiere in robes carrying a broom, but I'd still call myself a fan. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oerwinde Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 My Grandad is a Harry Potter fan. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As is my Dad, and my Grandmother. This is why I always pipe in when people say Harry Potter is overrated. When a children's series can attract millions of fans of every age, its not overrated.

The books are interesting and fun to read. WHAT is the problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jealousy. It should'a been me wot wrote them stories; I had all those great ideas but she stole 'em and published 'em first, init. Now no one will buy my stories because hers are made into movies and stuff. Cow. :cool: Even though I like Star Trek I would have to vote for the saddos that wear pointy ears and dress up and go to conventions etc. They do worry me a lot. I guess it's better they're all there in one place, in case we have to spray / sterilise / imprison them. Also, while there at any of the endless conventions they aren't exposing themselves to innocent people in public parks. " At least Star Trek tries to explain the science behind the art. GL has created such a convoluted and abstruse universe for SW that no-one even bothers to try to explain the science behind it -- why bother, "It's just the way Lucas says it is" -- we have a universe and its living god! Then again, there are at least as many people who wear costumes to SW premiers (and remember SW caters for weirdos with a pet fetish). :ph34r: OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 The books are interesting and fun to read. WHAT is the problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That your methods of expressing appreciation are somewhat.. unsound. Furthermore, just because a book is an entertaining read, it does not mean it posseses any greater qualities.

Reinoc Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 [targetmode] I love HP, SW, DnD and LOTR. I am a 27 years old male [/targetmode] As for HP: I love it, but I don't live it. I've read the books a few times. My brother, sister and mother (all older than me) have all read it and loved it. But I don't dress as any character in the books (that's sick, not only for HP, but for anything) and I don't buy any merchandise. That's a pretty good story, IMO. Any fandom taken to extremes is sick. Oh, and Silver, I'm french-speaking. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvershadow Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 That your methods of expressing appreciation are somewhat.. unsound.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> "My" methods of appreciation are unsound? HOW so, exactly? Am I an obsessive fan who dresses up or secretly fantasizes about going to Hogwarts or hangs out in a HP forum? Um... NO! Yes, I like the f'n books. Yes, I've read them a few times and liked them a lot. Yes I've seen the movies and I also liked them. Exactly which part of that makes me "unsound"?

Reinoc Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I'm sure for Kaftan you have to analyze every little bit of a book or a movie to truly appreciate it. I find this boring and it kills the appreciation I might have if I do that. There is nothing perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Oh, dont be so denying, Miss Silvershadow. We know all about the activities of you and others of your ilk.

Silvershadow Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Well, I do have a HP desktop calendar... but it was a gift (which kind of gave me a bit of a "WTF?" when I got it... what a waste of money that was!), and it's at home on my piano gathering dust AND I haven't ripped off any pages since January. I will admit to nothing else! I haven't even pre-ordered the 6th book yet! *gasp* And I can't even remember what its title is! *double gasp* If I'm an obsessive fan, I'm a pretty sad excuse for one.
