| I'll take my Cinema professor over you Into, sorry. No offense. As far as worrying about being a geek, not my concern. I have no predetermined problem with sci-fi. I am just very bored by the genre in general. In both of my Literature in Cinema classes, Star Wars was the test case for the differences between sci-fi and fantasy. An entire book was written about why Star Wars isn't sci-fi. And from any lit class I've had to take, SW screams fantasy, not sci-fi. It has many sci-fi elements, but all works of fiction have genre crossing. Being set in space is not the definition of sci-fi and midieval wizards and swords are not the definition of fantasy (and Star Wars has both of those, btw, just not midieval). I will say, one of the things my first professor discussed was that, more often than not, sci-fi fans consider Star Wars sci-fi, unless they hate it, and fantasy fans consider Star Wars fantasy, unless they hate it. Doesn't explain Josh, but that does explain me and Into. |
