The story

BigFanBoy.com is a Dallas movie and pop-culture site created by Mark Walters, its editor in chief. It was online by December 2004, calling itself the coolest site you've never heard of. Even then its mix was interviews, reviews and giveaways: Kevin Spacey on Beyond the Sea, Michael Keaton on White Noise, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost on Shaun of the Dead, and comics artists such as Tim Bradstreet, alongside Dallas Comic Con news and advance-screening passes for Dallas-area readers. A 2005 staff page listed Walters with a staff photographer, a film and DVD reviewer and a staff writer.

The site later moved to WordPress and kept the same formula, now updated with trailers, home-video coverage, contests and video interviews, with a section preserving the older posts. Peter Martin, founder of Dallas Film Now, is among its past contributors. Walters is a member of the Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association under the Bigfanboy.com name. In fall 2026 the site was still posting regularly, including reviews from Fantastic Fest in Austin.
