Geeks Unite!

[SincereSeeker]

There HAS to be more than just me out there.

You know - geeks?

I'm talking Star Trek, Star Wars, my personal favs: (Godzilla movies and Mystery Science Theater 3000), Marvel & DC, Batman....whatever your particular brand of geekiness is.

Heck! Let's talk about it!

I'm personally really into the old Godzilla movies. We're big Godzilla fans in our house and actually go to GFEST (an annual Godzilla convention) every year.

C'mon - don't be shy! Geeks Unite!

 

[Raiyuu]

Despite not knowing much about all three of these; here we go:

Saw the new Star Trek movie and didn't like it
Heard Star Wars is coming out with a new movie in 2014

Saw The Hobbit a few months back and loved it!

 

[Jabberducki]

[HasAnswers]

YES! Marvel! And DC! I love it allllllllllllll! I loved the X-factor comics more than x-men. And um, the Teen Titans universe for DC.
Let me join up. I forgot about MKt300. It's been forever since I heard about it!

 

[thisisheavy]

I love comics to no end--I'm a Marvel fan myself. I love anime and manga, too. Arrested Development. Cartoons are fantastic: Adventure Time and Gravity Falls are cute cartoons with legitimate stories. I love Pokemon, Digimon. Who could forget the Back to the Future trilogy? etc. etc. I could go on and on.

 

[HasAnswers]

I like Regular Show 100 times more than Adventure Time. It's my generation. Haha. I get all the jokes. Adventure Time seems like too crazy sometimes and not as funny.

Haha. Back to the Future. How many times have you seen it?

 

[thisisheavy]

Ah yes, the age old "Regular Show/Adventure Time" feud No, seriously, I understand the merits of Regular Show. Summer Song episode? Amazing. And Death Bear was a ridiculously good representation of an awkward first-ish date. Good stuff.

I lost track of how many times I've rewatched the trilogy, but it's somewhere between not enough and too many.

 

[HasAnswers]

They had to have referenced B2TF some time in Regular Show right? Well there's several time traveling episodes. Haha.

There are classic moments in Adventure Time but sometimes it just gets too weird and it's not funny. I like anything with Ice King in it though. Hilarious.

I don't watch stuff that many times. I've managed to see most episodes of the Office at least twice though.

 

[thisisheavy]

The Office is good enough to watch several times, even though I haven't really seen anything past when Michael left. I started Firefly but I haven't been able to get very far.

I'm always up for time travel stuff, so the time travel episodes in Regular Show are always good.

Adventure Time has been getting a little weird and out-there in the more recent episodes so I'm waning with it. But Ice King is a great character--so many layers.

I don't know what other geekery there is to talk about. I'm with SincereSeeker on Mystery Science Theater 3000 though. That stuff is hilarious.

How does X-Factor hold up? As someone who enjoys the X-Men but isn't sure what's going on in the Marvel universe at the moment

 

[jmer816]

I'm definitely a geek. I love scifi, anime, and video games.

 

[HasAnswers]

Hey is anyone else annoyed that they keep rebooting Batman instead of, idk making a Justice League movie?!! I mean it's been over 10 years of talk and STILL no Justice League movie!!

 

[thisisheavy]

I can only quote hearsay from friends, but I heard this new reboot is supposed to somehow tie into the (eventual) Justice League movie later on. So that's kinda good news!

 

[HadassahJoy]

Im a geek! :V
I like, Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Big Bang Theory, Firefly, LOTR, Galaxy Quest, Doctor Who, Fringe, and many more lol

 

[LJCTAM]

Geek credentials: Read foreign dictionaries, language & calligraphy admirer, draw house plans at times. Can't agree with the movies listed here since I haven't had a TV in 12 years. Study a lot on my own.

 

[Paul K]

I love star trek shows, except for enterprise, for some reason enterprise seems dull. Star wars, love them. Star gate, my favourite shows to watch, sometimes my friends and I will text each other with klingonese quotes, and we would geek out. So its my little secret because every day, i act cool, dress cool, but every once in a while, i would suddenly geek out and have a fun time discussing star trek and any sci fi shows and even quote klingon phrases.

Never too old to be a kid!

 

[Owlette]

Hey, what did you guys think of the new Hobbit movie? I haven't seen it yet but seems like people aren't giving it as high of ratings as the first one.

 

[Paul K]

yeah, I watched this hobbit movie, after about an hour into it, i started to keep looking up at the clock. it was extraordinarily long movie. Sometimes a movie is short, creates such a lasting impact. so I am guessing that they need to be careful on how long they make a movie. this movie is too long to sit and watch.

just my thought. (the first hobbit movie)

 

[HasAnswers]

That's horrible! How can you say ANY part of the Hobbit was too long? I'm so glad they made it into 3 movies, the more the better if you ask me!

 

[Paul K]

sorry if i offended you. its just that i don't like being forced to sit through a solid 2 and a half hour of a movie. But I really enjoyed watching the Lord of the ring trilogy.
that was a very good films.
