Why the fuss?

I've been into astronomy for donkey's years (oh, ok: since 1968) and it's only in the last few years I've heard this 'supermoon' term, or seen the fact that the full moon will look very slightly larger than average treated as a newsworthy item. It's not a rare event - these things happen periodically and predictably and reasonably frequently, so why the fuss?
