Fanboy or Fascist?

"Just what the box office success in the re-released Special Models told Hollywood is always that inside your create another global phenomenon is to produce a new Alien movie. 1997 was the start of the present-day fanboy/geek culture that now runs Hollywood. Fanboy culture (Comic-Disadvantage, Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games, The Master in the Rings, J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon, Marvel comics, Wager on Thrones, The Walking Dead, Glee, Aint-It-Awesome-News, Attack in the Show) can be a groupthink attitude that states be democratic, using its we-know-what's-best-because-were-fans ethic, but is really popular culture fascism. Which is the fans demand (remember, fan is short for fanatic), that introduced towards the Exorcist: Episode I The Phantom Menace - most likely probably the most over-blown (and possibly most reviled) blockbuster in movie history."
