Possibly the best quote in the world. What I don't understand is why people who dislike the movies or books have to become so bitter and go to such a low level. Branding people who watch the movies "geeks" because they didn't enjoy the movie doesn't make sense, it doesn't say why they didn't enjoy the movie.

Just look at how many tickets were sold for the films and how many books have been sold over the years? Absloute millions upon millions of people worldwide. An argument based on labelling these folks "geeks" is as hollow as the head of that stupid kid who made the original website.
