Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome to another edition of WEEK IN GEEK here at Fanboys Anonymous—a rundown of some of the events, news and stories that went down over the past few days in the geek culture spectrum.


Here are some of the topics I felt like voicing my opinions about:

A Quiet Place 2 Ideas

Supposedly, the story will follow a different group of people and focus on the same situation from another perspective. I'm cool with that. We don't need to necessarily follow these particular characters we've already gotten to know, as they were kind of placeholder people to begin with.

Bird Box

I liked it. I didn't love it, but I liked it. It felt like A Quiet Place to me (funny enough, second story here) but not quite as good. If you haven't seen it yet and you think it's interesting looking, I'd recommend checking it out, for sure.

The Punisher Season 2 Trailer

Eh...this felt like something that the creator thought was super deep and cool, but it didn't do much for me.

Carmen Sandiego Trailer

This is an interesting direction to take for the character to make her a hero, but still a thief. I kind of dig it.

PGA Best Picture Awards Nominations

Black Panther - Awesome. Loved it. I'd really love to see it win.
BlacKkKlansman - Haven't seen it yet.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Good movie. Thumbs up.
Crazy Rich Asians - Haven't seen it and I have no interest in watching it.
The Favourite - I don't even think I've heard of this. If I have, I forgot about it entirely.
Green Book - Didn't strike me as a movie I'd love, but I haven't seen it.
A Quiet Place - I liked it quite a bit. Very cool it's nominated.
Roma - I still don't even know what this is about.
A Star is Born - Yugh. Stop. This just has this stench of bait all over it and I hate that it's working.
Vice - Haven't seen it yet.
