Ethan Gilsdorf is...The Lord of the Dweebs. Read his insufferably blinkered article from yesterday's Globe magazine, "The Lord of Ka-Ching" -- a tiresome, pompous, nonsensical rant about the evils of commercialism trampling the sacred sod of JRR Tolkien's splotless legacy, blah blah. He was foolish enough to let the Globe print his email address, so by this time I'm sure he's been tsunami'ed by irritated LOTR fans the world over -- what else would we do with a sniveling aesthete who claims to loathe the movies yet happily collects the action figures? Can't have it both ways, chief -- come on in, the waters of fandom are fine!
