I can't help but love Max Landis' (son of John Landis, writer of the upcoming movie Chronicle) slightly inebriated re-telling of the death and rebirth of Superman storyline from the mid 90's. It has all of the hallmarks of a great nerd rage rant.
Liquor + nerd rage + years of pent up frustration at a single storyline = Nerd Rant
You can tell this is something that has bothered Mr. Landis for years. Only nerds dwell so long on a single comic book story to the point where they feel the need to rant about it at length well over a decade later. What makes this rant truly great though is the super low budget retelling that is taking place to illustrate his story.
Add to that the fact that this super low budget retelling includes such star power as Elijah Wood, Simon Pegg and more, and this becomes a piece of nerd gold!
