web-goddess: Badass Geeks

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

The 10 Most Badass Geeks in Film/TV. I agree with most of the items on that list, but I have a few quibbles. Was Donnie Darko really a geek? Other than that whole Smurf speech, I can't think of anything he did that was particularly geeky. I'd probably replace him with Willow from Buffy, especially in her rare evil incarnations. (That also solves the issue of there being NO female representation in the list.) But man, I really hate Anakin Skywalker being in there. I can what they're getting at, but I feel that the prequels just sucked out any sense of malice Darth Vader had. (Link courtesy of Bex.)

Macgyver! Macgyver! And I love Donnie Darko - I think maybe a geek, as in the awkward kid that never fit in and thought too much :). Hey, its one of my favourite movies.

Seriously. How are none of the scoobies on that list?
