So, somehow I forgot to tell you all that I finally saw Fanboys a while back.

I'm feeling very "cross things off my list" but not super creative today, so I will be brief.

Fanboys is not exactly knock your socks off quality cinema. But if you've ever enjoyed a good knock-down, drag-out Star Wars vs Star Trek argument, then you'll likely enjoy it. If you appreciate parody to boot, you'll definitely like it. It's silly, it's cliche, it's irreverent, it's not rocket science, and it's wonderful.

That's my nickel. May the Force be with you.

p.s.-it's also out on DVD.

(Now, on to finding Star Wreck in Region One...Oh! Free download!)

So, I first saw the preview for this movie in the late fall of 2006.  I could have been early winter 2007.  All I can say for sure is that it was cold, I was snuggled under a ton of blankets, and I lived in my house in Raymond, which puts us at November 2006-May 2007.  Yeah, I didn't live there long.

Anyway...I saw the preview there on a DVD from Netflix, or perhaps one of my Kevin Smith DVDs (this seems more right to me) that I'm too tired to go and check out now.  It's Clerks II, folks.  Circa 2006.  (Did you really think I wouldn't look?)  Then this film disappeared.  It resurfaced here and there, and the wind blew whispers of it to me every so often, but I'd given it up for gone.

This made me sad, as it looked incredibly cheesy but perhaps quite fun if one didn't take it too seriously.

Lo and behold, I was wrong about its demise!  Fanboys was released today!  I've got no theaters airing it within 40 miles of my house, but that's beside the point.  If it's released in theaters, we'll get a DVD, right?  And this is definitely a 'watch it on DVD' movie.  Netflix, put it on my queue, please.
