Hey 3.5 Readers,
Valentine’s Day this year was the nerdiest Valentine’s Day in history.
First, Ghostbusters 2, released in 1989, predicted that the world would come to an end on February 14, 2016.
Or at least a guest on Peter Venkman’s TV show did:
More on that from NY Daily News and link to the clip.
Or just watch it here on Youtube in this video posted by ghostbusters.net
Remember, he had that lady on who said she was abducted by an alien and taken to his room at the Holiday Inn in Paramus, New Jersey? Or that it might have been a room on the space ship designed to look like a room at the Holiday Inn?
Oh those sneaky aliens.
I saw Ghostbusters 2 in the theater when I was a kid. I feel old as shit.
But wait, there’s more! Pris, one of the replicants Harrison Ford chases in Blade Runner was created on February 14, 2016. She was played by Darryl Hannah.
Daryl reminded the Internet here and then the Nerdosphere went haywire:
So…in conclusion…
Happy Birthday Pris. I’m glad the world didn’t come to an end so that you could be born, or I guess what’s it called when a replicant is born? Incepted. Today is Pris’ Inception Day. Happy Inception Day.
Now that you’ve been incepted, please don’t kill William Sanderson and please don’t try to strangle Harrison Ford to death with your legs.
What a nerdy Valentine’s Day. I’d like to thank the lonely nerds who spread word of these events for sticking true to their nerdyness and not spending the time on something crazy like, I don’t know, finding a date or something.
P.S. if that isn’t enough nerdy shit for you, The Walking Dead is back on the air and Deadpool tore it up at the box office.
