Real Genius! ana_grrl April 1 2007, 01:37:03 UTC

I'm going to talk briefly about Real Genius, because I feel in love with the movie and its hilarious 80s stylings and slashy vibes ( ... )

Update!

valiant just wrote a Real Genius future ficlet, here: http://ana-grrl.livejournal.com/159032.html?thread=3153208#t3153208

And one more link - sorry, I forgot to include this. There is an LJ community for RG fic, real_genius_fic and there are a couple of stories up there. If anyone has ever seen any other stories anywhere, I'd love to know about them!

It's a very high-end engineering school--I forget if it's supposed to be the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) or CalTech.

BTW they say that at the Star Market (the supermarket chain in the Harvard and MIT area) when the customers bring more than 10 items to the express line, the checkout clerk says, "Which is it--are you from MIT and can't read or Harvard and can't add?"

I don't think it's particularly unusual for 15-year-olds to have sex, but Mitch is indeed a nerd's nerd and in no shape to be having sex during the movie timeline. He and River might make a nice couple at some point when she isn't completely squirrelly.

It just seems slightly unclear to me in the movie whether they're in a high school or a university. I know that it's supposed to be this CalTech-esque thing, but the movie itself seems a little unclear with the presentation, you know what I mean?

*g* Not to mention that there's just no way I would write 15-year-old sex. Just can't do it! Even writing him (once) as 17 made me feel uncomfortable.
