Geeks Taking Over Movies

I just finished reading a book about Pixar, and then went to see the 3D version of Up this afternoon in NYC. I can't help but think that we geeks really are taking over Hollywood. The technical achievement of the 3D computer animation was amazing, most notably because pretty soon into the movie, I forgot I was watching 3D, and indeed forgot I was even wearing glasses (and I was wearing 3D glasses over my regular glasses, which I wear only to watch TV and movies). I was in the world. As for the movie itself, the first 15 minutes cast a huge emotional shadow over the rest of the movie for me, so I came away liking it less than I might otherwise have.
