DISQUS

Was it really necessary from them to take the songs from every other movie trailer?

Ladies and Gentleman, this is the story of Josh Radde's life from six to sixteen. For every movie he saw, he would write a sequel and then film it in the backyard. Who can forget such greats as: Lawn in Sixty Seconds (he stole lawn chairs from around the nieghborhood), Big Red Ball 1-9, and James Bond:Goldeneye Academy (Mastering Nintendo 64).

That looks like it could be a fun little movie and I really like John Francis Daley.

Is anybody else sick of hearing about star wars and people being in love with it, then writing into a script. Whether a tv shows like family guy, spaced, Simpsons, robot chicken that 70s show or fucking half the shows on television then also on film with most of Kevin Smith collection, fanboys, and I'm sure many other films that have some sort parody in them. I understand it is a common experience with most of the people living today, but when does parody become laziness. The parodies, I've like few of them, the Kevin Smith movies I liked a lot, but sick of it. Look, this film looks like it is going to be great and it doesn't seem like it is more than a bunch stars wars jokes strung together, but I had enough of with star wars parodies/jokes.

You know, as a 'Star Wars' fan myself...I have to say...yes, yes I am.

I think that's why 'Fanboys' fell so incredibly flat for me...I'm just over the whole thing. It began with Smith's really funny 'Death Star construction workers' speech in 'Clerks' and was probably over at the very latest with the 'Family Guy' episode.

I think there were less movies made about Vietnam than there are with Star Wars 'as the backdrop'.

Oh I can answer this question, call on me...........

Did you who made this film, "From the Producers of Star Wars", nuff said. It wouldn't suprise me if Lucas wasn't behind a lot of these movies simply to get the original franchise viable.

Doesn't this kind of take navel gazing to the extreme though?

MarkMushakian · 6 months ago

It could be lovely - though my common complaint with movies about young people making movies - is that the production values always look too good. I grew up making movies, and I've seen the movies of friends who did the same. In these real scenarios the imagination was generally stronger than our ability to create amazing sets or props - and it was also somehow more important, too :)

NEIL FLYNN!! I know I saw him there for a few frames.

Seen a bit more of it than the trailer and I gotta say, it is a really fun movie that is also touching. Star Wars is a big part of it but NOT the only element of the backdrop, anyone who remembers trying to figure out their place in the world and then realizing that you have to make one vs. find one should like this movie - just sayin'...

I got me a lot of hate for teen age coming of age-fanboy movies and having said that, I'd watch this because it actually looks funny

Sheesh, this hasn't come out yet? This was made near my town back in 04 I believe. I kept hearing about it while I was working on an indie horror film called "Stump the Band" that was also done around my house, which was directed by Bill Holmes, one of the co-producers on this film (also the basis of one of the characters if I'm not mistaken). I even saw this exact trailer (but it was called 5-22-77. Again, I think that was the title. It was along those lines) presented by Johnson in 05 when we had a preview of the rough cut for Stump.

Wish this damn thing would come out already. I've been dying to check it out!

It's like "Adventureland" met "Fanboys" and had a bastard child. I'm not saying thats a bad thing...it's merely the vibe I got from the trailer. I'd definitely see it, though.

I've actually been hoping to see this movie for the last 2 years, back when it was called 5-25-77. It always looked better to me than FANBOYS and I cant wait to check it out!
I'm just glad that they're finally releasing it. I've been watching that exact same trailer since '07!
