Maybe some of those girls in the computer science labs will be turned on by my coding prowess…
Time to find out.

I like the bells and whistles of emacs. I like the fact that it’ll check my parentheses and things like that
Still, its all a matter of taste.
And being a Geek DVD it would, of course, have the usual extras:
Kevin Smith: Hi I’m Kevin Smith. Director of the movie.
Garius: And I’m Garius, I wrote it and played Garius in it too . And you, obviously, are listening to the Director’s Commentary for Geeks Gone Wild.
K: Okay well I guess whilst the titles are rolling – the song in the background is, of course, “Paint it Black” by the Rolling Stones – we should talk a little about the story and the cast.
G: Yeah makes sense. That Laptop I’m using in the titles there is mine by the way. A lot of people complained about the continuity of the Laptop – that one moment it appeared to be running Linux, the next XP. For the record it was running both, it’s a dual boot. I did actually write a scene explaining that…
K: Yeah – we filmed it too, but the problem was that when we came to the editting, the whole film was just running too long and something had to go. Plus I felt the dual boot scene fell too late in the movie and slowed down the whole LAN Gaming sequence – the pacing was wrong. Its in the “Deleted Scenes” Section of this DVD if anyone is interested though.
This Computer Room scene was your first scene you ever acted in wasn’t it?
G: It was. You have no idea how nervous I was. I never intended to actually play myself – to this day I don’t know why you didn’t cast a real actor.
K: Believe me I tried, but I pretty much realised after seeing the script that this was very much a part that you’d have to play yourself. If I’m honest I actually think this is probably my best cast movie – the performances that you, Depp and Marsters put in were…
G: Wait! My first ever line of dialogue coming up…
“Multiple Arrays? Where we’re going, we don’t need Multiple Arrays.”
G: God that’s a shite line. Seemed funny at the time though.
K: And now we meet the Media Vixen played by the lovelly Rachel Weisz. And… yep there it goes! The ear nibbling moment. That was the point when all my worries about you playing the lead character passed – you acted “Shock” and “Disbelief” perfectly there!
G: That’s because Rachel was actually nibbling my ear the cheeky tart!
ETC.
All you need is an appearance by Bruce Campbell…
Garius can only fantisise about things like that. My undergrad tutor was at university with Rachel Weiss, and once walked into his best friend and Rachel Weiss at it, in their lounge. :eek:
Angua - thats indescribably unfair.
I bet Rachel Weisz can write HTML too. :eek:
But of course.
Plus Charlton Heston as the Dean.
The Dean walks in on the computer room to find that the AMD machines have been overclocked so much they’ve exploded
The Dean: You Idiots! You blew it up! God damn you all! God damn you all to hell!
That’s precisely what a bunch of 2nd year physicists said.
And she’s an astrophysicist, too… ::breaks into sweat::
Smart. Is. Sexy.

Aaaww… shucks. Thank you.
I’m currently attempting to calculate errors, and my expression is so long, I’ve had to turn the page sideways :eek:
Careful girl - that kind of comment is like phone sex to some of these people…
Whoops! I should have known better, shouldn’t I?
Still, I have lots of pretty plots now…
