I've spent a little time contemplating the mute witness of box-office receipts and sales against the snowballing effect of people convincing themselves they indeed disliked something and repeating it every chance they get, and at times I reach the ambiguous feeling that it's better for me to hold my reactions to something to myself than to risk seeing them collide with the reactions of others, and that "fandom" isn't about enjoying something, but about commiserating with others about how it just doesn't live up to your expectations... While I can suppose some people may just respond with "Who says the masses know quality when they see it?", I'm not sure that works when you're trying to compare the successful first Star Wars trilogy against the successful Special Editions and second trilogy. In any case, while I don't have an official site account, I'll be interested in seeing what else you might post there.
