We live in a world where the computer geeks and nerds in highschool are the ones now running the corporations while those popular good looking celebrity status jocks are now pumping your gas.
It is fitting that mainstream media would recognize this. A Revenge of the Nerds remake just wouldn’t work the same with Geek being Chic, but there is room for a Revenge of the Jocks!
Jeff Tremaine, the “director” behind Jackass (I use that term lightly) is working on a film for Warner Brothers that would be the a twist on Revenge of the Nerds.
The new movie revolves around three men who were once popular high school jocks. Now, with their glory days behind them, they find themselves forced to adapt to a world run by the geeks and nerds, who have been unleashing torment on them.
Making the Geeks into the villains might seem harsh, but entirely believable as they would be pushed to react like this after years of torment and then achieving success that the jocks promised them would never happen.
It’s still the Jock’s fault. I hope they make the Jocks wear Ed Hardy so we can clearly tell which of them are douches.
No, I am not bitter.
From what I can speculate, this film will not be about jocks who are still on top and picking up the girls at clubs that it seems the posters are advertising as “jocks.” Yes Ill admit Jocks suck, but mostly in high school and college, after that they pretty much fall apart, gain weight and become depressed and/or gain some respect. I have been bullied by jocks before, who hasn’t, but once their highlife is over, well its over. This film I think has the potential to portray those post college yuppy jocks as targets for the post college yuppy nerds. With this dichotomy the real “villain” will not be our black and white perspective that jocks are bad, and nerds will always be underdogs, regardless of social status. Note the word “yuppy,” its not jocks that we should despise, its yuppies, and anyone can become a yuppy,a yuppy born by power.
So please, stop being bitter, were all subject to being bullied, jock or nerd.
We all bleed.
But I could be wrong.
I don’t know,kinda hard to feel sympathy for Jocks when every night we idolize them via ESPN,NBA, MMA,MLB,NFL or some other acronym named sport on the tube. We may have produced our Bill Gates and computer programmers galore, but in a culture that still idolizes how fast you run over how fast you read, I still see the nerd as the underdog. Revenge of the Nerd’s is one of my all time favorite movies. I still fondly remember seeing this while in the Marine Corps and just loving how the “Nerds” used their smarts and a little African American Brawn to win the day. If they write this correctly and maybe reveal the fact that even Jocks have a little Nerd in them and show that abuse of power is the true enemy, then I’m sold.
Dude’s on to somethin’ here. The 1st was Great in every sense of the word. (for an 80’s comedy) Clever,Rude,Crude, and Obnoxious!
and dont forget Great soundtrack!
I’m at a point in my life that a Sports Match outcome doesn’t ruin my day anymore. F’ Them! they make waaaaaaay too much money for me to feel sorry for their “Jock” asses.
only Game that’ll give me a “sports loss hangover” is a World Cup match featuring my team in it.
(every 4 years)
But those are the select few that can hone their craft to excel among the big leagues. We worship professional sports as the royalty of athletes.
Those “jocks” are the ones who forfeited any usable skill banking on their popularity in highschool and built their self worth on athleticism. In the real world, the perfect spiral throw doesn’t mean shit on a resume.
I think the “true enemy” will be revealed in this film as being judgemental. Everyone makes mistakes and peer pressure and highschool hierarchy dictates we have to be mean to people who dont fit our demographics.
The Jocks will learn their revenge is empty, and the nerds will realize they have become what they hated in highschool and they will all go for a beer.
“I hope they make the Jocks wear Ed Hardy so we can clearly tell which of them are douches”.
Funny Sh$t!
This should be cute. I’m looking forward to it. Even with its “director.”
