James Rolfe, aka "The Angry Video Game Nerd," is more or less the godfather of my entire ridiculous profession; and like a lot of us, he also started out as an aspiring filmmaker. Now, he's finally gone and parlayed his online persona into a feature film of his own making... and I think it looks pretty damn good:
Yes, fine - the "Gen-X geeks on a reference-ladden road trip" premise is by now a whole genre unto itself, but considering this is "The Movie" of the webseries that helped create a lot of the memetic in-jokes that seem to populate this I'm willing to let it "slide" if the movie itself is fun, which looks to be the case. Good on you, Nerd - can't wait to see it.
