The Hackenblog has moved to http://hackenblog.hackenbush.org/ or www.hackenblog.com.Please update your links, thank you.[Previous entry: "The 'Duh' factor in modern foreign policy"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "California in trouble, #8"] 12/16/2003 Entry: "Hobbits for Dean" "Here is an epic that divides viewers, maybe more than the Matrix films. Its many young fans, who did not grow up on Lawrence of Arabia and The Godfather or even Star Wars, revel in 'awesome' visuals and slow, backfilling narrative." I wonder if it's a film/age divide or more of an internet/fantasy divide. Yes, many of the LoTRheads are young, but they're also involved in LoTRhead reinforcing communities on the internet. Where all conflicts can be resolved with a mouseclick. I'd further say that these are people who don't vote, but the ones I've observed are learning in Howard Dean's direction. Now, if Dean can reach these people, he can probably do anything. I'm still looking for a Clark/Dean graphic. If I don't find one soon. . . .
