Even Netflix knows I’m a dork

I’m not sure what is worse: the movies … or that I’ve seen three of them (Conan, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus*, and Batman Returns) and enjoy them all in their own special way.

Actually, okay — I enjoy Batman Returns on a lot of levels. I don’t know what to say about Mega Shark & Giant Octopus, except that the trailer got me and wouldn’t let me go.

…aaaaaaand the trailer was also the best part of the movie. After repeated viewings (of the trailer; I could only watch the movie once) I still can’t decide which is more awesome: the tentacle whipping the plane out of the sky, or the shark chomping on the Golden Gate Bridge. All I know is that the world was a dark and lonely place until the brilliance of that trailer shone its light from a million laptops worldwide.

*no relation to the same things in the Iron Seas, I swear (although it would be funny as hell if they were.)

Ha ha, I’ve seen *all* of those movies! I even own Batman Returns… on laserdisc. Now I must crawl back under my rock and cry a little at having exposed my dorkyness to the world. :)

Embrace your dorkhood because I know I scream my own dork/nerd mentality loud and proud. Normally I post over at Oddshots but wanted you to know that I read ‘Here There Be Monsters’: I LOVE!!!!! I believe I’m turning fangurlish because I’ve this urge to request some bookmarks.

And the geek shall inherit the earth.

Which is a good thing since I’ve seen all three, too. And the octopus vs. plane thing? Total awesomeness.

Tho the trailer missed the best part of the shark jumping out of the water eating the commercial airliner in mid air.
