How to name collectors?

Ackerman's name is very famous in the science fiction world. It was he who invented the word "science fiction" and founded the famous science fiction magazine "Famous Monster in Film Industry". He has a collection of over 40,000 science fiction books and over 65,438+million movie stills. His love of science fiction influenced the popular culture in Hollywood. Without him, there would be no later masterpieces by Stephen King, Spielberg, george lucas, Peter Jackson and others. He is affectionately called "Mr. Science Fiction". Last Thursday, 92-year-old Ackerman died of heart failure at his home in Los Angeles. 1 created his invention of "science fiction". The Associated Press report confirmed this fact, and the news was also confirmed by the official website American Association of Fantasy and Fantasy. Many media and websites have reported with phrases such as "the oldest sci-fi fan flies away" and "Let's go, the first sci-fi fan". Forrest J Ackerman's official professional titles include broker, editor and writer. However, people generally prefer to describe him with words such as "number one sci-fi fan", "Ackerman monster" and "Mr. Sci-fi", while Ackerman himself likes to call himself 4E (or nicknamed Foy). Ackerman devoted his life to the love of science fiction. He is the cutest person in science fiction. Ackerman 19 16 was born in Los Angeles, and his father was a data clerk in an oil company. At the age of six, he saw a sci-fi movie "Glorious Day" for the first time, which told the story of a soul struggling with a retired professor. Four years later, he bought the first science fiction magazine "Amazing Story". At that time, the word used by the editors of Science magazine was still "science fiction", instead of "science fiction" which is commonly used now. Soon, he set up his own "Boys' Science Fiction Club". "I wanted to include girls, but at that time, there were fewer female sci-fi fans than unicorns." He later said. Ackerman has been involved in science fiction since he was a teenager. Since then, he introduced his friend ray bradbury, who later became a great science fiction writer, to the Science Fiction Club of Creff Cafe, and went out to play with later famous science fiction writers such as heinlein, Leigh Braque, Henry kutner and frederick brown. Ackerman has been involved in science fiction since he was a teenager. He co-founded the Los Angeles Science Fiction Association. He used to be the editor of the science fiction magazine Imagination. He has been writing under various pseudonyms since 1938. 1954 While driving, Ackerman and his wife heard "hi-fi" being introduced on the radio. He later said that at that moment, suddenly, the word "science fiction" came out of his mouth. This word quickly became popular in the English science fiction world. 2 Collecting sci-fi collector Ackerman has been collecting sci-fi magazines all his life since he met the first one. He even collected cheap science fiction magazines that were popular at that time. I remember when he collected the 27th book, little Ackerman's mother began to panic: "One day, you may collect 100 books." So far, Ackerman has collected more than 40,000 science fiction books and more than 65,438+10,000 movie stills. Ackerman later married a wife, Wendeng, who specialized in translating science fiction works. Under her "control" and arrangement, these collections were once confined to the first floor of Ackerman's house. But after Wendeng 1990 died, these collections slowly climbed the stairs and occupied the whole house. In science fiction, Ackerman's home is affectionately called "Ackerman Mansion". There are more than 300,000 books, stills, posters, masks, props, sculptures, models and costumes related to science fiction. Recently, Stephen King said in a telephone interview: "Ackerman is the most powerful fan in the world. If you have been to his house, you will never doubt it. " Unfortunately, a few years ago, due to the sharp increase in medical expenses, Ackerman had to sell most of his collection and move into a new site he called "Little Ackerman Building". This incident made bradbury very angry. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he said, "We live in a stupid world. I believe in the future Foster believes in the future. No one else cares. " In Ackerman's eyes, all kinds of sci-fi works are unbiased, whether it is dystopian works favored by intellectuals or cheap works, he is enthusiastic about collecting them. He said that his favorite movie is the classic Metropolis by German director Fritz Lang 1927, and he has watched it 100 times. In 2002, Ackerman was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the World Fantasy Congress. Ackerman first attended the conference in 1939, when he entered the venue in a spacesuit, but he could not afford the expensive banquet. "165 people participated, and only 29 people can afford the money ... a plate costs one dollar, and of course there is no food. You know, a CD costs one dollar." He later said in an interview. 3 Achievement brings out a generation of thriller Ackerman, which has a great influence on Hollywood pop culture. 1958 founded the magazine Filmland Famous Monster with the theme of sci-fi horror movies. Most of his articles were written by himself under various pseudonyms. This is a black-and-white magazine, and almost all the illustrations and photos are from Ackerman's own collection. In this magazine, there are always all kinds of sci-fi thriller articles, and I also like to write all kinds of slogans with the same atmosphere as horror movies. This magazine employs some young sci-fi horror fans. These people include Stephen King, the famous king of science fiction, Lucas, the director of Star Wars, and Dante, the director of Elves. "He is part of the development of the sci-fi thriller industry." Stephen King said, "When I first met Spielberg, we didn't talk about movies. We are talking about the famous Monster Magazine and Ackerman. " The magazine ceased publication on 1983. However, the popular sci-fi thrillers were inherited by Lucas, Spielberg and others, and these seemingly cheap novels were put on the most expensive film production stage. 1990, Ackerman was awarded the "Top Science Fiction Fans Hall of Fame Award". When Robert Englund introduced him, he said Ackerman was "Hugh Hefner in science fiction thriller" (the founder of Playboy). Since the age of 10, Ackerman's love for science fiction has lasted for 80 years, and science fiction may have passed what some people call the "golden age".
