The Oscars (and other awards)

True. It's more a hatred of the fandom rather than the films within it.

I like some of the films, especially Azkaban.

There's a certain subset of hardcore Potter fans that are deeply annoying. My first real exposure to this part of the fandom was the midnight screening of Deathly Hallows Part Two which was just wall-to-wall screaming. It's also that side of the fandom which cannot interpret any real life event or politics or history without filtering it through the prism of Harry Potter. Even ignoring that I'd argue the socio-politics of the series are really quite limited... god damn read another book. Not everything is best understood with references to muggles. I also won't deny that Rowling's increasingly unignorable transphobia and flat-out obsession with trans people coliurs this further, and there's a certain style of "fan" whose expressions of support are really just a means of endorsing a transphobe they agree with. This isn't really the fandom as I suspect a lot of these people don't actually care about Harry Potter they just share Rowling's transphobia but it does affect the broader fandom, or at least my perceptions of it.


Hopefully this goes without saying but I would not consider you anywhere near this style of fan. In simplest terms, you love Harry Potter but you're not annoying about it.

Sundance may be relocating. Here are the finalists for new host city.

www.thewrap.com/sundance-city-finalists-list/

Atlanta, Georgia
Boulder, Colorado
Cincinnati, Ohio
Louisville, Kentucky
Park City/Salt Lake City, Utah
Santa Fe, New Mexico

Sno may bust a nut if this moved to ATL.

They going to ATL and SnoBorderZero gonna introduce to his Hollywood buddies the best strip clubs in town.

More evidence that 'Best Visual Effects' is another term for 'Most Popular.'

So any ideas why Sundance wants to move from it's current location? They want more infrastructure built in Park City?
