The Other Geek Trilogy

Feb 07, 2007 12:53

Monday night, i saw Word Play. To quote my movie-going companion Tanya, "I'm a junkie for geek competitions," so i'm rounding out my week with Spellbound, and hoping the Netflix fairies will drop Word Wars in my mailbox this weekend ( Read more... )

I saw Spellbound last year and was horrified. It was amazingly shot, and apparently they followed around a lot more kids than that to see where they'd all get, but the way these kids become idiot savants is just so sad.

I was curious about that. It seemed difficult to imagine they'd make a movie if none of the kids they were following make it close to the end. Then again, it would have certainly been an unexpected ending:-)

Hehe...glad to know i'm not off living a secret double life. I'd be a little confused, to say the least.

Sorry to hear you're not making it out to Ocean City though. Yay for the beach!

it was a mistake, actually. I rented it about a couple years ago thinking it was Hitchcock's Spellbound. It was the correct movie title, but a mistaken Hollywood Video employee put the wrong movie was into the DVD cover. Instead of bringing it back, we watched it and liked it a lot.

Come to think of it, we never even actually got the Hitchcock version. Wierd.

I'm looking forward to RENT. Thank you so much (in advance) for the care package!
