Eddie the Eagle – a Triumph for All Nerds

This movie looks great.  An unathletic nerd dreams of becoming an Olympian, chooses ski jumping because the UK hasn’t had one since 1929, and goes for it.

As a spokesman for nerds everywhere, I demand this film sweep the Oscars in 2017.

  1. I remember this guy. He was a national hero. As a fellow nerd, I am looking forward to it.

    • It looks great. I’d never heard of him before but I can sympathize. When you’re a nerd, people pigeonhole you and get upset if you try to do anything outside of the box they’ve put you in.

      I wonder if he might have found fame doing something else other than a sport that could have gotten him killed but it looks good. Hopefully its an Oscar winner for 2016. Nerds are vastly underrepresented in the Oscars.
