Hlao-roo 388 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 NOTE: Fanmen, fanwomen, and fangirls are, for the purposes of this poll, classified as fanboys. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,759 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 yes, but not as much these days, my budget & time only allows so much fanboyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin 195 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm doing my best, at least when it comes to JW, film music in general, 007, Tolkien or The Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldsmithFanatic2000+ 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Whilst there are a mere small group of fanboys out there that I'll give the time of day, the large majority of them can commit suicide for all I care. Nuff said. I honestly consider listening to Disco music a lesser punishment than having to put up with a fanboy's deluded ramblings about how incredibly awesome Bay's Transformers is.

tpigeon 3 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 My recent remark from the KOTS audio samples thread:"Am I the only one who clicks this thread every time I see a new post hoping that someone will have revealed the location of the entire score for download?"I believe that about sums it up.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam S. 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I meet enough criteria that I ban myself from calling other people fanboys as to avoid the obvious hypocricy.

Trent B 317 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 If this is referring to being a fanboy of Williams then certainly I'm not one. The only thing I'm a fanboy of for Williams is his music for Star Wars. Williams is definitely not my favorite composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 2,924 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well good for youTo a lot of us he's more than our favourite composer .His music is one of the 2 or 3 things in general I'm most passionate about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 No.I was a fanboy when I was 8 to 14 years old.It's one to like something but to me an adult fanboy takes it too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmw331 2 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I LOVE JW's music, but I do not consider myself a fanboy.The only time I saw him in concert was at the Detroit appearance, and I live in Michigan, so it wasn't like I went out of my way for the concert. Also, I collect his CDs, but not for the sake of collecting, but because he composes some beautiful music that blows away the works of current film composers. I would consider a fanboy someone who collects all of JW's stuff (rare, original OST, concert recordings, etc.), goes to as many of his concerts as possible (all over the US), stands by the exits and entrances of orchestra halls every time he performs in order to get as many autographs as possible, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 2,924 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I've never been to a concertI'm pretty obsessive about the search for unreleased music and getting every little theme he composed(at least after 1970) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 859 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 To me a fanboy is someone who over does it. Has Star Wars bed sheets, curtains, towels etc etc. Someone who obsesses about things too much.There's nothing wrong with collecting things whether it be toys, action figures or film scores but there also is a fine line between having a section of a room decorated with toys as opposed to the whole house.Switching your name to Obi Wan Kenobi or naming a child after a celebrity are examples of fanboys. Hell I just come here to talk. I don't think just because you post here you should be labeled a fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 My only trend into obsessiveness is ripping unreleased music off DVDs. But only for my favorite scores, not all of them. I don't see how collecting and listening to film music is essentially any different from any other hobby. One that you care about passionately and enjoy.

vmw331 2 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 KM, I take that back.I am obsessive about unreleased music also. I agree with Mark's post. That's more on the lines of what a "fanboy" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I'm going to end up having all six Star Wars posters the big ones displayed in my room and the FX sabers displayed next to them too. That to me there's nothing wrong with having something like that...but yes doing what you just said a lot of fans have done and that's too extreme there.

King Mark 2,924 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I admit I had a period where my whole appartment was overtaken with Star Wars figures,toy spaceships,movie posters .Now I toned it down a lot and only kept a few posters I liked and 1 shelf unit of my favourite movie figures/statues.

indy4 152 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 My definition of a fanboy is one who automatically assumes the person they admire is better than everybody else. For JW, it would be considered every single JW score better than any others (obviously not EVERY other score, but most). I try not to be, but I'm sure I am biased in a way that I cannot control. I think everybody is, whether it's related to film scores or not. I have 3 JW autographs and I have been to 2 JW concerts.I'm not the fanboy I should be. I want MORE! And I know I shouldn't.The JWFan Network will be re-organized into the first JWFanboy Network! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 2,924 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 No it doesn't . There are plenty of scores that are almost to the level of JW.
