A critic of a comic book movie, neither of which I can remember right now, said it best when talking aboot fan outrage over changing everything,
"Who cares about the fans?"
This notion is most likely shared by studio heads and most filmakers who tackle beloved franchises.
And the poor performance of Grindhouse, the double feature from two fanboy deities, directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, shows that fanboy love can get you only so far. Plenty of people heard about the movie--a three-hour '70s-exploitation-style gorefest--but decided it was an inside joke they weren't going to get. "There's this perception that the geeks have inherited the earth," says Smith, "but if they had, Grindhouse would have grossed $100 million. It plays to a marginalized culture."
