Back in the 1970s I stood in line at the theater to watch the very first Star Wars movie. I liked it but not enough to ever watch another one. What turned me off was not the movie itself so much as how people turned it into a religion.

My daughter once forced me to watch a Harry Potter movie. I don’t remember which one it was but I had no desire to see any of the others. I also have an aversion to anything Tolkien. I somehow survived watching one episode of Star Trek on TV back in the Sixties but have kept my distance ever since.
