Hit the nail on the head with this [In reply to] Can't Post

Sounds like this guy doesn't approve of escapism in any form.


Some people dont like it/dont understand it and so when a movie comes along which is set in another world then they freak out thinking everyone is a man-child.

There will be more articles like this one in the coming weeks - i can remember reading them when the last HP book was released and people like this author were complaining how everyone wants to remain in their teenage years as if they were at hogwarts.

Oh well some dont get it/feel the need for escapist literature/films from time to time, others do.

Wouldnt it be a boring place if we left our imaginations and fantasies behind and became 'proper adults' Tongue
