[edit] tense/citations needed

Why is the first paragraph in the future tense? E.g. why does it state that his works "will be" popular? Are they not popular now? How do we know they'll be popular in the future?

Why is there a citation needed regarding his fame? It seems as if the long list of pop culture references proves his fame well enough. Isn't there a rule that if something appears in 10 or more references it can be considered common knowledge?

A troll has requested a citation for Maltin's fame? Would a link to http://www.leonardmaltin.com/about.htm suffice?
