From Lore Sjoberg at Wired:

We can safely stop calling Star Wars a movie and recognize it for what it really is: a virulent media infection.

It’s a great movie to be sure, but there are many superior movies, and none of them have inspired, say, thousands of people to dress up as faceless, nameless secondary characters. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was a great movie, but you don’t see 200 sanitarium orderlies marching in the Rose Parade.

I love it when someone can appeal to both my inner geek and my cynical mindset in one brief statement. Brilliant.
