Fanboys, I swear... "bUt tHeY diTinT wEaR yeLLoW tIgHTs!"

neutral · AI labelView post →Fanboys are struck by how the practical effect looks from the _outside_ (cool, impressive, 80s movie) and ignore how it would feel for the driver (terrifying, actually may kill you). (see: being an astronaut, their other impossible fantasy) (none of this will happen for a 4000lb vehicle, obviously)

negative · AI labelView post →Reminds of fans who pretend PT hate was "exaggerated." Bitch plz. They were the most hated mainstream films of all time. It wasn't just pissy nerds who shat on them - but the the wider culture. This doc, the film FANBOYS, news segments, cartoons, etc. " PT bad" was a cultural "truth" for years.
neutral · AI labelView post →Revisiting this, it suddenly reminded me of the 2009 film "Fanboys" where, after many roadtrip-movie hijinx, at the very end they sit down to watch Star Wars Episode I and the final line of the film is spoken there in the theater as the lights go down: "...what if the movie sucks?"
neutral · AI labelView post →Someone should look up the movie Fanboys from 2009, which parodied the types of people this is actually about. Or The People Vs George Lucas. Or been in the Pokemon fandom during Gen 5. People claim to adore BW now, but some people hated it until the suddenly forgot they hated it. Now they love it.

Ernie shares behind-the-scenes stories about his first film Fanboys, many we’ve never heard before, and we review every Star Wars reference from Ready Player One and break down the Star Wars: Starfighter teaser trailer.
neutral · AI labelView post →Most other people: "We're boycotting The Flash movie because the DC movies just ain't that good. and seeing movies is too expensive these days." DC Fanboys: "We're boycotting The Flash movie until Warner Brothers agrees to release the 10 hour Snyder cut!"

neutral · AI labelView post →2: “Fanboys” STAR WARS CONNECTION: Road trip film about Star Wars fans who drive to Skywalker Ranch to steal an advance copy of “The Phantom Menace.” Also bit parts for Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams. Good stuff— a nice friends-bonding road trip plot. Bad stuff— some pretty dated juvenile gags

neutral · AI labelView post →Kevin Smith doing a Marvel/Star Wars crossover makes more sense given that Kevin has been adding Star Wars referential humor in his movies and related (that, and he cameo in that awful Fanboys movie)

neutral · AI labelView post →it is essential that you remember that Ernest Cline got his first writing gig writing the movie Fanboys because his best friend Harry Knowles got Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey to produce and distribute it. there has always been a fundamental rot at the heart of everything he's done.
neutral · AI labelView post →You should check out the first FANBOYS, released by a bunch of New Zealand fans back in 2002... Not saying the 2009 film ripped them off. Honestly, they didn't - I'm friends with both filmmakers... it's just a very weird coincidence that both films have to do with stealing a copy of TPM... :)

Yeah, he’s the guy who wrote the Ventotene Manifesto from the prison where he’d been put by Mussolini. @[email protected] and I used to talk about him on the podcast #fanboys www.iai.it/en/institute... About us
neutral · AI labelView post →Fanboys is a great movie. The cameos are awesome. I think we could all relate to the expectations around Star Wars back in ‘98, playing Mario Kart 64 and just embracing being a geek. 😀 I watch it yearly.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching the #Tesla #roboparty on the movie lot. Nothing here that hasn't already been done by others. I'm amused by the #VC #fanboys #manboys who can't do anything without their phones recording video.
neutral · AI labelView post →If, like the titular characters, you are a Star Wars super nerd, definitely give Fanboys a crack, otherwise, don't bother. Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal.
