Seven things SF fans should stop doing

Thanks are owed to Starship Sofa (who have a Michael Moorcock interview coming soon) for pointing me in the direction of Solar Flare and their article, Seven Things Sci-Fi Fans Should Stop Doing.

All seven points are good ones and I have probably been as guilty as the next geek for most of them. But the one that really leapt out at me is Just Because It’s Good Doesn’t Mean People Will Watch.

This is very true but it’s also worth bearing in mind, Michael Bay, that just because lots of people watch doesn’t mean it’s good.

    Thanks for the link. You’re right of course, just because people watch doesn’t mean its good.

    I sometimes wonder if that matters as much as people think though. If enough people watch a movie and enjoy it, does it matter if it meets some abstract criteria for quality?

    Now if all those people paid to watch the movie and didn’t enjoy it…
