Cool Movies Net |link| -

In the pre-internet era, a movie like The Big Lebowski or Fight Club gained "cool" status through slow-burn notoriety. It required effort to be a fan; you had to track down the VHS, quote the lines to friends who hadn't seen it, and feel part of a secret club. The internet has accelerated this process into hyperspeed, creating a phenomenon that could be called the "Meme-ification of Cool."
