The Only Ones With The Vivid Imagination
Patrick has said what I said regarding the article about how we are all "nerds" now, only better (and three days earlier no less):
the current generation of directors and script writers were all raised on the stuff and are just living their dreams of seeing what they dreamt of on screen. They and other fans pushed for those movies to be made, not the general public. Newly developed technologies let them show exactly what they imagined as kids when they were reading those comic books and novels, playing those D&D games. Which is, I think, the explanation for that recent popularity. When they (we) were being called nerds in school it was for liking exactly what is popular today but we were the only ones seeing it, the only ones with the vivid imagination to visualize what was written down. Not anymore.
