48 of 48 · most liked firstThere's this movie called Fanboys about a group of friends who break into Skywalker Ranch so their terminally ill friend can see TPM before he dies and the entire movie is setup for the punchline of them sitting down in the theater on opening night and saying "Hey, what if it sucks?"
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, the franchise that ran for 20+ years, spans over a dozen movies, made billions at the box office, still has characters appearing in movies today, and made Hugh Jackman a top movie star for a generation was a complete and utter failure. Fanboys, I swear... "bUt tHeY diTinT wEaR yeLLoW tIgHTs!"
neutral · AI labelView post →Fanboys is not a great movie but we deserve to get some mileage out of Danny McBride saying “I’ve just been told that what I said earlier, I no longer believe.” youtu.be/06OkoPlUGm4?...
neutral · AI labelView post →> Movie gets low RT score > Fanboys get defensive > Critical people get irrationally mad at fanboys > Other people calmly tell criticals to calm down > Others immediately get heads bitten off by other criticals who go "THEYRE RITE N UR WRONG CRY ABT IT" when others weren't even defending the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →still the most hilarious part of all this is that there was that the movie FanBoys had the premise of trying to break in to see the movie before the premiere. The literal last line in the movie is “what if it sucks?”
neutral · AI labelView post →The PT was shat on by late night hosts, jokes about its suckage were in sitcoms and cartoons and films...any entire fuckin' documentary was made about how much the fandom hated George Lucas. The film Fanboys is literally a 90min "lol the prequels sucked amirite?" joke...

neutral · AI labelView post →Isn’t it the entire punchline of the 2009 film Fanboys?
neutral · AI labelView post →like yeah the kids were hype but a lot of older fans felt jilted (lolll sound familiar?) and there's even a big joke in the movie Fanboys about the first one being a terrible disappointment
neutral · AI labelView post →The entire joke of the movie Fanboys is they go through hell for their friend to see the movie before he dies, and he’s like “It was okay”!

neutral · AI labelView post →theres a movie Fanboys that i liked back it came out. the entire punchline of the film comes down to the fact that episode 1 was generally disliked. honestly even as a young kid i only liked the darth maul fight in episode 1
positive · AI labelView post →Y'all seem to forget a little film called FANBOYS. I quit working as the assistant manager, left my theater, and moved to TN in 1998. I drove all the way back to SC just to see The Phantom Menace with my theater family. We experienced the same ending as FANBOYS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanboys...
positive · AI labelView post →Hey, remember that movie "Fanboys?" The one where these nerds attempt to break into Skywalker Ranch to see Episode I early? And the movie ends on a joke with the guys about to watch it on opening night and one of them asks, "...what if it sucks?" I was there, Gandalf.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fanboys are struck by how the practical effect looks from the _outside_ (cool, impressive, 80s movie) and ignore how it would feel for the driver (terrifying, actually may kill you). (see: being an astronaut, their other impossible fantasy) (none of this will happen for a 4000lb vehicle, obviously)
neutral · AI labelView post →Cars 3. A movie I had to watch for the Analytical Fanboys Podcast, releasing next week at www.youtube.com/@ModularMedia
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds of fans who pretend PT hate was "exaggerated." Bitch plz. They were the most hated mainstream films of all time. It wasn't just pissy nerds who shat on them - but the the wider culture. This doc, the film FANBOYS, news segments, cartoons, etc. " PT bad" was a cultural "truth" for years.
neutral · AI labelView post →Revisiting this, it suddenly reminded me of the 2009 film "Fanboys" where, after many roadtrip-movie hijinx, at the very end they sit down to watch Star Wars Episode I and the final line of the film is spoken there in the theater as the lights go down: "...what if the movie sucks?"
neutral · AI labelView post →Like an entire comedy movie (Fanboys) was made off the premise that the star wars prequels sucked. And its why the ending is the only funny part of it and the only thing people remember about it.
negative · AI labelView post →Yeah the movie Fanboys. the whole premise was lol Phantom Menace sucked. Fanboys was ok, could have been better. But it had been messed with by Harvey Weinstein so no shock there lol
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Fanboys involves doing everything to get a sick fan to see the phantom menace before he dies, and ends on the question "what if it's bad?"
neutral · AI labelView post →In 2009 (four years after the third prequel) there was a movie called Fanboys about a group of fans trying to get their dying friend into an early screening of Episode 1. The punchline of the entire movie is the group in the theater, opening night, and one says, "Guys... what if it sucks...?"
neutral · AI labelView post →Someone should look up the movie Fanboys from 2009, which parodied the types of people this is actually about. Or The People Vs George Lucas. Or been in the Pokemon fandom during Gen 5. People claim to adore BW now, but some people hated it until the suddenly forgot they hated it. Now they love it.
neutral · AI labelView post →We get caught up with author and screenwriter Ernest Cline. Ernie shares behind-the-scenes stories about his first film Fanboys, many we’ve never heard before, and we review every Star Wars reference from Ready Player One and break down the Star Wars: Starfighter teaser trailer.
neutral · AI labelView post →Most other people: "We're boycotting The Flash movie because the DC movies just ain't that good. and seeing movies is too expensive these days." DC Fanboys: "We're boycotting The Flash movie until Warner Brothers agrees to release the 10 hour Snyder cut!"
neutral · AI labelView post →You ever see the movie Fanboys? If not then I highly recommend it!
positive · AI labelView post →They made a movie about that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanboys...
neutral · AI labelView post →2: “Fanboys” STAR WARS CONNECTION: Road trip film about Star Wars fans who drive to Skywalker Ranch to steal an advance copy of “The Phantom Menace.” Also bit parts for Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams. Good stuff— a nice friends-bonding road trip plot. Bad stuff— some pretty dated juvenile gags

positive · AI labelView post →Hell, the final joke of the movie "Fanboys" was all about how the movie was poorly received.
neutral · AI labelView post →There's an entire movie about how much the prequels sucked. It's called Fanboys and it's amazing.
positive · AI labelView post →This is your sign to go watch Fanboys if you've never seen it. Charming little movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Fanboys was a movie made exclusively for and only seen by Fanboys.
negative · AI labelView post →The movie Fanboys came out in 2009, with the punchline of the movie being that Episode 1 was both considered shit, and was the mark of SW going to shit. I was like 6 when Ep1 came out. I liked it cause SW. But by the time I was 10 I knew why everyone hated it. Because everyone did.

neutral · AI labelView post →it is essential that you remember that Ernest Cline got his first writing gig writing the movie Fanboys because his best friend Harry Knowles got Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey to produce and distribute it. there has always been a fundamental rot at the heart of everything he's done.
neutral · AI labelView post →You should check out the first FANBOYS, released by a bunch of New Zealand fans back in 2002... Not saying the 2009 film ripped them off. Honestly, they didn't - I'm friends with both filmmakers... it's just a very weird coincidence that both films have to do with stealing a copy of TPM... :)
neutral · AI labelView post →The video is from the IAI, the think tank established by Altiero Spinelli. Yeah, he’s the guy who wrote the Ventotene Manifesto from the prison where he’d been put by Mussolini. @[email protected] and I used to talk about him on the podcast #fanboys www.iai.it/en/institute... About us
neutral · AI labelView post →Fanboys is a great movie. The cameos are awesome. I think we could all relate to the expectations around Star Wars back in ‘98, playing Mario Kart 64 and just embracing being a geek. 😀 I watch it yearly.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching the #Tesla #roboparty on the movie lot. Nothing here that hasn't already been done by others. I'm amused by the #VC #fanboys #manboys who can't do anything without their phones recording video.
neutral · AI labelView post →If, like the titular characters, you are a Star Wars super nerd, definitely give Fanboys a crack, otherwise, don't bother. Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal.
