why do some people only look to point out fault? look there is nothing wrong with constructive criticisim in fact i welcome it when it helps to improve the over all end product or service but when comments distract from the positive spirit behind the genuine effort of when fans are trying to do their best to express their enthusiasm i take exception because who gives those few number the right to dictate where and how fans enjoy themselves? if you choose to look at things in a cynical non-inclusive way thats fine but do not try to darken what i find joy in. it doesn't cost anyone anything to say a kind word or support one another but the cost of negative comments should not be paid by the entire fandom because of a bitter few. END RANT
in closing i just want to say if you have an idea to express your passion do not let anyone stand in the way of it because in most cases they are trying to do the same thing. don't be a crab in a bucket be kind because in the end we are in the same boat.
I think as always it goes back to the same old (especially in the cyber world) people trying to feel better about them self by putting others down, getting into groups/cliques where they have the power to include or exclude thereby indicating who is right =GOOD ENOUGH & who is not !
PS. Were is the spell checker on this boards format? (sorry can't see it !!)
goods points and well put. we can forgive a few spelling mistakes no? i can only speak for myself but my friends go way beyond cliques and many people helped along the way. i have seen examples of what you speak on but i reserve judgment because i believe over time fans big and small will realize not much people out side of fans care about these movies and we have to take care of each other. its ok for different people to have different visions and take different paths to the same ends as long as the focus is films and away from feeding into egos it makes for a better enviroment for film fans. the danger of when people start labeling themselves is others feel excluded or feel exagerated needs to fit in or stand out. i don't want to be better than anyone i want to be the best i can be and i take that approch with everything in life. i don't mind being wrong in fact i want others to explain to me in the ways i may be wrong so i can inprove myself.
