This is strange and wonderful and audacious, just like the characters. Brava!

[echan]

Thank you, thank you!

[grammarwoman]

Hee! Oh, anon vidder, I don't know what I did to get such a treat, but this is delightful! I love the pompousness and yet complete accuracy of the opening description. Yay for the heroic nerds! Boo for the villainous bastards! Oh, Val Kilmer, you were so young and hot.

Thank you very much!

I'm imagining those "Boo" cards being held up for a melodrama audience.

[echan]

The melodrama of the film totally deserves this.

[echan]

The film's epic shenanigans are totally deserving of the title. And Val Kilmer was totally hot, mmm. I'm happy you loved it!

[franzeska]

Nerds/Science OTP!

[echan]

There are so few vids set to classical music and you did a splendid job with this! And thanks, I now know the source of the story I heard in college about tape recorders in the classroom. :D

[echan]

Thank you, thank you! And glad to fill in that hole for you; you should totally watch the film!
