A facebook friend issued this challenge: of 100 Nerd Academy
basic training movies, how many have I seen? Quite a few, as it happens. I’ve watched
all the Star Wars movies (so far), and everything in the Star Trek series. I
liked the Back to the Future series and the Lord of the Rings. I enjoyed Robert
Downey Jr. as the Iron Man and Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. I love The
Labyrinth, Dark Crystal and War Games. I even sat through Dune and Avatar,
though I don’t remember why. There were a lot of movies in the list I’ve never
seen and have no desire to see now. All told I’ve only watched 47 of the 100
nerdy films. So I probably get a failing grade as a nerd. But maybe I should
demand a recount. I actually OWN those 47 movies on DVD or Blu-Ray. And I watch
them frequently. Surely that should count for something.
