how did he possibly turn out okay?

Defying the odds, Daniel Radcliffe somehow managed to be both the most famous boy wizard ever, and a totally charming, nerdy 20-something. Well done, sir.

seriously, i love nerds

we've learned about the way Facebook can ruin movies (although, ironically, not the facebook movie, that shit's just awesome), now see an example of the amazing things facebook can do for a movie. I give you the entirety of Star Wars: A New Hope presented as one Facebook thread...

(and, yeah, i know that's pretty much unreadable, but you can either click on the images (there are two different ones) for enlarged versions or just go here to see the whole thing)

soooo true...

proving once and for all that NASA has, by far, the coolest nerds...

TV University

This is impossible to fully appreciate at the size below, but check it out here and zoom in. Is the person who created this inside my brain??? How did they manage to combine everything I love? I'm enrolling in TV University tomorrow. I will be double majoring in Archeology and African-American Studies, with a minor in Bird Law and a lot of time spent at the library and campus health.

Today in serious questions that plague our society...

Most overused line in film?

"Get outta there!!!!" or "We've got company!!!"?? Discuss...

you know me and inspirational sports movies...

I totally did not just tear up in a trailer about a racehorse, shut up.



By the way, if you were not a horse kid like me, and didn't love crap like this, here's video of one of the most dominating individual performances in the history of sports. (um, oh yeah, spoiler alert. that is if i have to provide that on historical things that you should have been able to figure out by the above trailer)

thanks to Trina for making my life with this link. :)

for all my fellow nerds

this shit's sweet (though I think Colbert still wins for my favorite cover of this song). Gotta love a little Star Wars mixed with some Jay-Z with just a dash of Leia hair-bun headphones...

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

OMG, I think I might have found my soul mate

I am in love with whoever created these. Movie quotes in graphic form??? Swoon...



(I can't get it any bigger and have it still be clear enough to read, but if you click on the image you'll get an enlarged view...)

are you as nerdy about the oscars as i am?

chances are that if your name isn't kim or jess...you're answer is a big fat no. that's cool man, we still like you. no hard feelings. you can still hang out. sometimes.

ANYWAY, even if you're not as nerdy as us you may still wanna check out this darn entertaining story about how oscar got it's nickname ("what's the difference between the oscars and the academy awards?") and how much that sucker weighs. enjoy!
