It Took Me This Long to Watch Fanboys?!?


Well, i finally watched Fanboys. I know, i'm a little late to the game, but hey, i've had to cut back on my DVD purchases. It was...pretty much amazing. It totally reminded me of my high school days. My little group of friends and i were almost exactly like the guys in the movie. At one point, our group even called itself the Empire and everyone had a different ranking as to their place within the Empire. I'm pretty sure we never actually did anything with it other than just talk about how awesome it was, but we apparently did enough to warrant part of our group splintering off to form a Rebellion. It was a dark time for the Empire and the whole thing ended with hurt feelings and people not talking to each other for a while...

But anyway, back to the movie, i loved all the little in-jokes and trivia questions scattered throughout. I found myself trying to come up with the answer before it was revealed on screen, and more often than not, i had no problem beating them to it. My favorite parts, though, were anytime Trekkies were on the screen. I am very proud to be able to say that I have never seen a single Trek movie and have only caught parts of about one episode of The Next Generation. So, it is always great times to see Trekkies get the wind taken out of their sails.

So, all in all, if you are the one geek left out there who hasn't seen Fanboys, i strongly recommend it...well...maybe unless you're a Trekkie.
