Nerd Camp (movie)

slasher_65

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Paramount Pictures has signed up Adam Sztykiel to write the screenplay for a project they are developing called Nerd Camp. The movie is a story about a group of children who spend the summer taking college-level courses at a "nerd camp" and redefine what it means to be cool."

Oh god. They used the "C" word. When we look up Cool in urbandictionary.com, we get (amungst others)the following.

[/FONT][/FONT]10. cool

[URL="javascript:void(0)"]
[/URL]
a simplified way of telling someone to shut the **** up because you don't give a ****.
"lolz hey! it's me! i'm not morbidly obese anymore!"

"cool"




Simple word to distinguish insiders from outsiders.
Don't worry, he's cool. (insider)
Hey, thats not cool, man! (oustsider)
Cool shoes girl! (insider)
Girl nuh-uh?! No you didn't just give me the hand! (just became an outsider)




The term has recently become the opposite of what it used to be. It is now often used sarcastically or to refer to that which is not 'cool'.
1. So, you skipped school today? Well, aren't you cool.

2. Look at the guy playing the trumpet; he's one of the cool kids now. I wish I was that cool.




A guys excuse for not wanting to date a girl. Clearly, guys do not want to date a girl who is "cool".
"I think you're cool but..."




1. something that has been put in a fridge and is therefore not hot or cold but "cool".
2. someone or something that is very with it and thinks they can set trends.
"mmmm, i could really do with some cool orange juice right now."
emily "im cool"
laura "my arse"



so. intresting.

emm... yea. forget all that.
what do you lot think of the idear of the movie?


EDIT: soz bout the f-bombs. forgot to edit them out.

This intrigues me, but not nearly as much as the thought of who will be playing who. If this Nerd Camp thing is anything based in any way CTYI then I demand a character based on me played by Martin Freeman.

PurpleFistMixer

Lucille Ball!

I mean...

To be pessimistic, it sounds awful, it'll probably contain a lot of awful, awful stereotypes and "oh look, nerds can be COOL", bunch of social retards, things which are wildly not like CTYI and with good reason being that the film is not about CTYI.

Luckily, by the time the film has been released (and, well, now) I'm not going to have to be explaining that I'm going to Nerd Camp this summer, so I won't have to deal with whatever stupidity the film brings about.


That said, it'd be interesting to watch.

slasher_65

that little kid from home alone has to play me.
i will watch it, but will probs shout directions at the screen.

Hobotastic

I think my character should be played by Samuel L. Jackson, or Morgan Freeman. Or both.

Twinkle-star15

I want to point and laugh at all the nerds . And I want to be played by Lee Williams. Even if I am a girl .

Feral Mutant

From what I've heard, it's set in CTY.

Was wondering when someone would point that out...

Sssh! This is about as close as I'm ever going to get to FAME...which is pretty sad, if you think about it.../thinking. .

What if it was CTYI? Who'd play Colm? And Dr. Sheila? And what RAs would be there? Irwin! Dermo! Rory! And the cat he kicked into a fjord! It'll be a bloackbuster

RefulgentGnomon

It'll be a bloackbuster

yeah, yore ma's a blokebuster - oh wait, wrong misspelling of blockbuster...

Or was it a mis-spelling of blokebuster?

jen-pixie

Is it actually about CTY? I mean, we all know they're not going to make one about CTYI, but it'd be damned interesting to watch one about CTY, if they're as similar as I've heard. So, are we just being overtly optimistic, or is it really based on CTY?

Feral Mutant

It's about CTY Session 1 '05 at Lancaster according to Wikipedia.

Piste

I should be played by Sean Connery!

Jack Lynch

'Yeash, Moneypenny.' Gives me goosebumps every time

Just like when Connery does it

Acid_Violet

I wonder if this will be the first time that the media doesn't portray us (all the CTY's all over the world) in a way that we strongly disaprove of. It'll just be another clichéd movie, a bunch of people who want to be cool going somewhere where they realise that it's 'cooler' to be themselves. I don't imagine it being anything ground-breaking or of any importance, despite how nice it'd be if it was.

Jack Lynch

Unless they have the dressing-gowns and random lickings. Then it'll all be so much more

Not a chance.

Doubtful, but it would be awesome.

They need corridorgies too.

jen-pixie

Oh, wouldn't it be great if they did it properly? And then released it next summer so we could all go see it during CTYI? That would be fantabulous! Unlikely, of course, but we can dream.

Would be nice. I find that there's a lot of Cty/Ctyi hatred, I think it's due to the pre-supposed idea that we're elitest and then all that bull-**** that it's 'school in the summer.' Grrrr!:mad:

PurpleFistMixer

It is elitist. : p A camp wherein, to get in, you have to pass a test?
Whether or not the people who go to the camp are elitist is debatable, but the concept itself sounds a bit.

Namen

Does anyone know anything else about it? Is it already in production, and what the company is?

Feral Mutant

Apparently it's due out in 2008. That's all IMDB would tell me unless I give them money.

Acid_Violet

Great stuff so! I'll be finished Ctyi the year before so I won't have to cringe.

slasher_65

I recon that if it is out during CTYI, we need to book 2 screenings, send half the willing people to one, the other half to another, and much to the confusion of the other cineama goers, correct the filemakers on a few subjects. such as traditions. Then walk out just before the ending where everyone lives happily ever after, muttering "well, at least they didnt tell our plans of world donination."

Synopsis:
A slacker applies for a job as a summer camp counselor so he can relive his youthful glory days of panty raids and food fights. But the camp has become a haven for young brainiacs who've come for intellectual growth.

It's going to feature Sean William Scott. I think it's going to be a 'School of Rock' type thing, Im sorry to say

Piste

Sean William Scott as Jeff? Pfft, Hardly!

Raphael

Ok, having done some research, there seems to be a bit of confusion going on here. There are TWO films in production named Nerd Camp.

One is a nickelodean made film based on an article in the new yorker magazine about CTY. this is due to released in 2006

The other is a Universeal studios film starring Sean William Scott, synopsised 2 posts above. Due for release in 2008.

So what have we learned? That this film won't be a steaming pile of crap with Sean WIlliam Scott, and that Aonghus has too much free time.

Piste

I love Sean William Scott!

Lmao! Do tell him!

Don't bet your ass on it. BOTH will probably be on the subject of steroetyped socially retarded nerds, Nickelodeon's aim is ti make money, not a documentary, and people love taking the piss out of us.

But on the subject of Sean William Scott, and Gigantis being reminded time and time again that his full name is similar to that (Sean finley Scott), maybe they're on to something that they won't exactly tell us yet...........

Piste

SWC Would be far too hot to work at CTYI, The students would be all over him!

If students=Liz particularly, then it's a good thing that we only have Jeff.........

Piste

I challenge you to say no to Sean William Scott!

Mocha One Sugar

I challenge you to say no to yourself.

Don't be silly, who could?

Yeah, except we are supposed to be intelligent, any retard with money can get into the gaeltacht...

PurpleFistMixer

And why does intelligence = less horny now?

Piste

Ew Nerds are not meant to be in any way sexual.

They repress their desires and only express them in front for Final Fantasy X in their basements

Hobotastic

Ah well, who could say no to Final Fantasy X's Lulu? Or anything, for that matter. It must be hard to talk while getting smothered by 10kg of cleavage. And that doesn't even make sense.

I haven't posted in a long time. As you can see, I was waiting until I could make a proper intellectual contribution to something.

Piste

Or Titus. Don't forget Titus.

PurpleFistMixer

Tidus! The D is for WHY MUST YOU BE SO ANNOYING?

Piste

I've only ever heard it! And with my little sister's stupid American accent she picked up from TV Tidus sounds EXACTLY like Titus!

My point is that teenagers are teenagers and discos anywhere are the same, a bunch of horny teenagers doing bad things to each other. It's really no surprise, parents know what happens, unfortunately they're not stupid, and that it happens everywhere.

But we can be all that, and then quote Shakespeare and calculate binomials to the tenth power after!

For those of you who don't get the reference, go do yourself a favor and listen to BrainsBodyBoth by George Hrab. Clicky! http://www.geologicrecords.net/sounds/brainsbodyboth.mp3

Hobotastic

What? Tidus didn't have boobs. Come on, I know he was a wuss, but he was still, unfortunately, a guy. Gave the rest of us a bad name. Of course, not as bad as the name FFX-2 gave women. My god.
