Being Geek Chic is the yammerings of a Midwestern nerd named Elizabeth Giorgi. My vision impairment is real, which is frustrating because I really would like to see a 3D movie.

Date Night: Summer movies for the geeky couple
My favorite thing to do with my boyfriend is go to a movie and then discuss it at an outdoor coffee shop. This summer seems to be presenting plenty of opportunities for us to do this thanks to a wide range of wonderful films for geeky couples like us. Here’s a month by month breakdown of my picks for this summer.
In June, you should see Midnight in Paris.
This movie is romantic, whimsical, historical and hilarious. Do you love Hemingway? Dali? Do you know who Zelda Fitzgerald is? This movie is definitely for you.
For July, is there really any other pick than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2?
The anticipation is building and I would be a terrible nerd if I didn’t make this my July pick. In fact, this movie will definitely be worthy of a midnight showing. Any coffee shops open at 3 AM in MPLS?
August is my birthday month, so I always have high expectations for our date nights in this final summer month. Hopefully, One Day will live up to those expecations.
Adapted from the novel by David Nicholls, this pseudo-love story follows Dex and Emma on the same day of their lives for 20 years. It’s an unconventional story-telling method and somehow manages to fill you in on all the details of their lives each year on July 15th. Strange they didn’t pick July 15th for the release date. It would have been so meta. Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing how this narrative plays out with a British Anne Hathaway.
But if you’re not into love stories, then skip One Day and go to Planet of the Apes instead. It’s sure to please your BF and Tom Felton makes an appearance!
