Released during August of ’85 Real Genius has come to mean different things to different people, and some feel the need to create something. This is great for fans of the movie, because if you drift just a little off the center line you’ll be rewarded with some interesting discoveries. We did just that and here are a few of things we found.

Poetry

Inspired by a shirtless Val Kilmer, penning some poetry was Anameroma’s way to express how she was feeling.

Real Genius by Anameroma

There’s no fear in the place

I’m going to be in a few years,

In the time it takes to tune a piano,

In the decades of a dog’s wagging tail.

There’s nothing scary there. When I’m as many years older

As there are seconds in a lightyear,

Or sound waves in wallpaper,

I’ll still be cock-a-doodle-doing perfectly

Dandy in a yellow-spotted bouncy way. When I’ve said and written as many

Words as there are to say on an afternoon,

And when my heart’s as old and big

As orange and gold, as great as

A slide whistle going up, up, up, then, I’ll see what I saw when I was

The size of a bright laugh:

That all the world, in its infantile grace,

(Even the places nearly shaded from sight)

Is bursting with unexplainable light.

Mighty Mugg Style

Had to look up what Mighty Muggs are (they’re a vinyl–plastic collectible toy series made by Hasbro. The toys resemble super deformed versions of characters from the following franchises: Star Wars, Marvel Comics, Indiana Jones, G.I. Joe, and Transformers), and after checking a few out we have to say Calcifer-Boheme created an awesome Chris Knight version.
