Fanboys

I think it's a wonderful little movie. And it's not made for kids. It's made for Star Wars geeks or maybe just sci-fi geeks of all ages. They tried to dumb it down with those reshoots but since they let Kyle put the heart back in it, it's way more than some rude road comedy. I dare say you'll enjoy it. Might even choke you up a little bit at the end. And our boy is very beautiful.

Awesome. I'm definitely going to try and get my hands on it very soon. I'm not a star wars "geek", but I have seen the movies so hopefully I'll get some of that stuff.

That's so cool you have the Fanboys movie poster, Anne and Susanna.

Susanna · 25 Jan 10 :: 05:30

I watched it yesterday! My verdict: it's pretty cool for what it is. Definitely an enjoyable movie to watch, Chris was, as always very good, I do seem to be continually impressed with him as an actor even though I always go in expecting him to be good.

It had some good jokes in it, definitely worth rewatching from time to time. I imagine I'll buy it on dvd at some point, but hopefully once it's been out a while and a bit cheaper.

I agree with everything you sayd Susanna! It was a nice little movie and had some fun characters and I felt like Chris's character grounded everyone. It was a good cast mix.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 25 Jan 10 :: 07:06

It's great you finally saw Fanboys, Susanna. It's such a heart-felt and awesome movie!

Definitely agree, I think without Chris' character just the combination of the characters involved would have made the quest perhaps a bit obnoxious. That might be a bit strong, but in any case, I think it made the characters a little easier to care for and invest in. I mean the quest was rather unbelievable, but it didn't need to be believable for the type of movie that it is, however I do think it would have lost a lot of depth if it weren't for Chris' character being cancer stricken. To be honest, I wasn't all that invested in the other characters, but then it wasn't exactly like they were developed very much at all, which isn't necessary a bad thing, it's just that the movie wasn't character driven so much.

My friend and I watched Fanboys on my birthday together. She loved it. Also showed her the Poledance webisode.

EOcean214 · 25 Jan 10 :: 21:03

Susanna - I agree with your statement on the characters, it definately wasn't so much about them as it was just about what they were obsessed with! IT is really heartfealt for that aspect. IThe director definately put a lot of heart into the movie to show how much he loved star wars, and not just the movie but the entire culture surrounding it.

Samsy - The poledance webisdoe is hi-larious!!! Everyone should watch it!

Hilarious, but painful. Poor baby.

Looks like the movie is finally being released on DVD in Japan. And here's the corresponding website. http://culture-pub.jp/fanboys/ Not too exciting, I liked the Japanese Infestation site better.

Wanna see pics of Kyle with a beard? http://culture-pub.jp/fanboys/news/ (scroll down)

He told me he just came back from Japan where he was promoting the movie. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it to Germany for JediCon (which is actually this weekend), but he said maybe next time. Since JediCon is only every two years, I guess that means 2012... Shame, would have been cool to catch up with him.
