Star Wars Premier: The Line People
proudtobeageek writes "A friend of mine, an attendee of a midnight opening of Star Wars Episode III, took the opportunity to conduct a short documentary/interview of the costumed movie goers. He has his short movie available here on his blog."
Reminds me of Triumph the insult comic dog's attack on Star Wars fans waiting for Episode II...
Have you seen my stapler?
Reminds me of the short film done on Late Night with Conan O'Brien featuring the dog with the cigar. He spends all day taking the piss out of a line of Star Wars fans dressed up waiting in line to see one of the earlier Star Wars flicks.
Not all of them, mind you, but there are a handful of people who seem so far removed from reality and that actually fit into the "35-year old unbathed computer nerd living in parents' basement" stereotype that it makes one wonder where we as a society have let these people down.
Don't blame society because someone's parents didn't kick the lazy kid out on his arse to find his own way around this world.
"Son, you have a car, a nice computer, and a cell phone. You need a place to keep it all now."
I don't like to make fun of lonely geeks. Yet they force me to laugh at them everytime I see a line of grown up men with kids toys and costumes. What the hell? I mean, really, grow up.
