sci fi geeks...

[cmhicksusmc]

so serious question guys I'm sitting here watching 1 of my favorite movies blade runner and I realize something...all my favorite movies are sci FI movies. Just to give you perspective here is a list of my top 5 movies excluding star wars of course DUH

1) STARSHIP TROOPERS
2) BLADE RUNNER
3) V FOR VENDETTA
4) AMERICAN PSYCHO
5) JUDGE DREDD

oh runner up is Aliens with sigourney Weaver because one of the main characters is corporal hicks and that's my rank and name.

I digress. Here's my question. Does this make me a geek destined to fall for women who make references to my sleepy time drooling as "waking up in a swamp like degobah" or making references to the weather like "man its colder than hoth out there"

A lot of stuff is hitting me quick after being in the marine corps for five years a lot of stuff is different. Brothers am I a lost cause?

I'm a SciFi/Anime/Computer geek and managed to find a (mostly) normal chick. Of course then you'll rub off onto her =D


Cheers :ccool:

Firefly

Shit we have a ton in common. Im a huge star wars fan, and Im a lottery win from buying movie quality costumes and going to comic cons. Embrace your 'Geekdom'. Who gives a fuck what anyone else wants to label it.

I'm notorious for my convention escapades as well. Whether megacon or kawaii con or star wars celebration I put far too much time into costumes. News flash next up movie style Judge Dredd. It's gonna be epic.

I was the biggest poe fan until I stumbled across HP lovecraft. He hast to be the most talented creepy writer ever. I've read all his poetry and constantly quote him on the state of being.

Love evangelion (not a big anime fan though)
Loved the thing!

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON FIREFLY/SERENITY!!!

 

[Highlander]

Blade Runner.....one of the most under rated sci films period!!

I watched it recently again. Movie was way ahead if its time.

 

[Highlander]

Ok after thinking about it, I'll add my favorite movies. (not in order, just like em all the best)

[cmhicksusmc]

MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE 3000!!!

I loved that show. Used to watch it all the time. So darn cheesy I love it.

 

[JDog]

I organized my list by movies, tv series, and I added a few scifi books that I enjoy. I’m impressed that I see another Firefly fan. I didn’t list Serenity as a movie since I see it as a way to conclude the TV series, but it’s high on my list of movies. I’m also pleasantly surprised that someone listed my all-time favorite scifi movie, Soylent Green.

Scifi Movies:
Soylent Green
Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back
Blade Runner
2001
Dune

Scifi TV Series:
Babylon 5
Battlestar Galactica (newest release)
FireFly
Star Trek, Next Generation
The Hitchhiker

Scifi Book:
Hubbard, Battlefield Earth (book is much better than the movie)
Asimov, Foundation Series
Card, Ender’s Game

[Treinenwj]

Wow, this thread is making my geek radar go berserk! My wife is always teasing me about all the sci fi stuff I watch.

Some, but not all of my favorites:

Firefly/ Serenity
V (old and new)
Stargate SG1/ Atlantis/ Universe, plus all 3 movies.
Warehouse 13
Caprica was good, been wanting to watch Battlestar Gallactica
Star Wars IV, V, VI
Newest Star Trek, plus first few movies
Starship Troopers
MST3K!!! (Can never find other fans of that show)
Matrix Trilogy (although the last one was a bit disappointing)

A couple new shows that are promising:
Falling Skies
Torchwood: Miracle Day

I'm sure I'm missing some great ones, but that's a pretty good list for now.

No worries about the geek-dom. My brother is a Warhammer 40K nerd, to the point where he has his own podcast. He speaks in yoda-isms, test video games, and collects comic books. All this at the age of 29... and he married a normal/hot wife who is intelligent to boot.

One of my best friends met his smoking-hot girlfriend thanks to World of Warcraft.

You'll be fine.
