Fanboys

(video link)

Fanboys is set in 1999, when we waited with high expectations for The Phantom Menace. Three fans decide they can’t wait and try to break into George Lucas’ home to steal the print. This movie is now scheduled to be in theaters on February 6th, but that’s just the latest of many release dates for a movie that has been years in the making. Wikipedia has the story. Link -Thanks, Christophe!

    All that work only to see the disappointment that is Phantom Menace. I guess this movie can be called a tragedy.

    Im starting to think this film will never come out. I guess I can still dream of Kristen Bell in the slave leia costume

    That looked a lot funnier than I was expecting.

    The truth is, if you had half a brain and could keep your fanboy hard-on in your pants for even a few minutes, it was not that hard to get into the ranch back in those days. Things have changed since then, though.

    "All that work only to see the disappointment that is Phantom Menace. I guess this movie can be called a tragedy."

    Too true Clifford - I can just see how the movie ends:

    The characters sit down to watch the stolen print "oh man finally" "this is going to be so cool!" etc.
    ==
    cut to them watching the Phantom Menace end credits...
    ==
    they're all staring in shocked amazement at the screen. Finally one of them speaks. "Dude, that movie f***n sucks!"

    I really was expecting something stupid. And I was right. Still, I'll watch it when it comes to television.

    I have been waiting for this movie to come out for the last 2 years I'm so excited that it's coming out soon!

    So are they keeping the cancer part of the storyline in? I heard that Weinstein had them rewrite it and take out the cancer part so it's just a completely light hearted comedy. I really hope the cancer part of the script is kept in, it makes it a pretty heartwarming story that way.

    Nevermind, just read the wikipedia thing and they are keeping it in. : )

    Finally. I get to see my backyard on the big screen.
    The movie version Skywalker Ranch is up the road from me. It isn't much of a ranch, but a nice b&b.
