The Fanboy Influence
July 28, 2010
I remember flipping through an old “Wizard” magazine back in the early or mid-90′s. The magazine pretended to cast a would-be Spider-Man movie that most of us knew would never happen.

I realize the last article I wrote about fan films came off as being a bit harsh and I truly didn’t mean for it to. I stand by what I wrote, but I don’t want to sound like a know-it-all because I most certainly am not one (or if I am, I’m not man enough to admit it). Read more
