Greatest Geek Year Ever! 1982

No pun intended - you can always make a case for something ... and against it. But I have to admit, they do have quite a few strong points here. The movies that were released that year ... I mean geek galore! And while some are sequels (Star Trek), even those seem to have taken a turn. I love the first Star Trek movie, but it was weirdly serious. I reckon the sequel did try something different.

Of course you have many other films, like The Thing ... some...thing that was not that popular the year it came out (ET may have something to do with that), but has proven to have stood the test of time! One of the best movies ever ... same or similar things can be said about Blade Runner.

The documentary (which played as part of Frightfest) goes in depth with a few of those ... letting "famous" geeks ... well geek out! Or fanboy out or whatever you want to call it. It may have a frantic pace - but it is quite enticing to say the least ... if you are a Geek, you'll probably love this ... you may not agree with everything, but that is the fun of it ...
