: What makes a fan, a true fan? Is loving the movies enough? I've discovered from reading everyone's stuff that there are three basic types of fans.
AND LETS NOT FORGET THE COMIC BOOK GUY.
I am the smartest man alive and understand the director and his ethos, therefore I claim that only I may dance, i mean, only I may denote why his movies are so good.
seriously how many of you have even read Dante's inferno, and if yes, in latin?
: 1) The hard-core fan: Not only knows movie trivia, but knows the personal lives of every crew member. Probably even knows what the Key Grip on Dogma's side projects are. Collects merchandise.
: 2)The "I love those movies" fan: Has seen all the movies a million times and probably owns them all. Can hold thier own in a trivia contest. But that's as far as it goes.(I myself fall under this catagory)
: 3)The "I just saw the movies, and they rocked!" fan:This fan is like new born baby. He has so many avenues open to him(or her). He could become hard-core, or he could just buy the movies and watch them a bunch of times. But one has to ask: Where the fuck have you been dude?
: Anyway, I thought I would just catch some people's opinions on this matter. Is any one person a better VA fan? Later.
