      I think that among film buffs that is true. Normies though don’t all like it. My brother hates it just because it’s fantasy. I know others who don’t like it because it’s long.

        Are we back to ‘only nerds like fantasy’ again? Lord of the Rings was popular with just about everyone when it came out in theaters - shows were packed.

        Then there’s Game of Thrones…

          Yeah, that’s where I am at. Between LOTR, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, fantasy is incredibly mainstream now.

          Nothing screams middle-upper class, mid-30s suburban housewife more than fantasy-romance novels.
