William Shatner stole Leonard Nimoy’s bicycle.
The 12 Greatest Sci-Fi And Fantasy Speeches.whedonesque discusses the list here. Bill Pullman’s speech in Independence Day is mentioned. Also mentioned are Buffy’s speech to Dawn in The Gift, Jonathan giving Buffy her Class Protector award in The Prom, and The Doctor in The Christmas Invasion—there’s another Doctor mention from the original series, back when he considered wiping out the Daleks.
Topless Robot asks everyone what their biggest nerd regret is. It's worth reading the comments.
For me, a Nerd Regret might be my 11 year break (1994-2005) from watching movies entirely. I could have been in the theater on opening day for X-Men, X-Men 2, Spider-Man, and Spider-Man 2. Instead, due to the 11 year gap, I eventually ended up there on opening day for Spider-Man 3 and X-Men 3. I apologized to Dad for dragging him to those two.
On the flip side of the above, the 11 year gap spared me from enduring Batman and Robin and Batman Forever, so there’s that.
Oh, and because I was still reluctant to go to another movie once I did start going again despite loving Batman Begins, I ended up going to see Serenity long after it was first released in the theaters—maybe 2 weeks before someone on my friends list convinced me that I needed to see it. I could have been there opening day, to see if any other Firefly fans were in the area. I’ve heard tales of people singing the theme song.
Some others that I can think of:
*Never been to a convention. I doubt I’ll ever be able to afford it.
*Also? If we're going with posters? Then how about buying a baseball player poster at a poster store the week before it went out of business. When I had the choice between that and a Thundercats poster--there might have also been at least one X-Men related poster there, but I'm not sure anymore. It was during my one week of interest in baseball, before I realized I didn't care about it after all. It’s still on my wall, because it looks oddly bare without it. For the curious, it’s a poster of someone named Jack Clark.
