Last minute Geek Christmas Gifts already?

14-Dec-11

Cripes, it’s Christmas already. What’s going on? Well, here’s gift suggestions- maybe for your geek friends, maybe for you. Of course, I expect lots of folks around these parts are playing Skyrim or Star Wars: The Old Republic. I’m certainly doing the latter at the moment. The only problem looking at those as gifts is […]

Summer Wars!

07-Apr-11

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a nifty anime movie we saw earlier this year- Summer Wars. Q and I had the opportunity to see it at the ever-awesome Alamo Drafthouse (Ritz location, Austin), where we ran into tons of people we know. :P I really liked it, and Q absolutely LOVED it. […]

Speaking of cheese

16-Mar-10

So I’m testing out the WordPress app for iPhone, and figured this tidbit was as good as any to share in the process. While looking at box office totals for each year of the 80s to jog my memory, I found myself struck by the top 6 films of 1981. The first 5, in order: […]

MMockery 3: The last easy post

16-Mar-10

And here’s part 3, which is the last of the parts.  It’s even more specifically related to MxO.  And also the last of my gimmie posts.  If I’m gonna hit my “3 posts a week” metric, I’m gonna have to start being original now.  Bugger. This one was written 2 months after the others.  In […]

Vintage? Or archaic?

15-Mar-10

“You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don’t.” Marsellus Wallace, Pulp Fiction Marsellus is talking about boxers in the above quote, but he […]

Fight!

Who’d win in a fight? Terminator 2’s Sarah Connor or Aliens’ Ellen Ripley? GO. ps. hello everyone! :)

That rare intersection…

…of architectural geekiness and film geekiness.  If anyone gives me the $2.5 million, I’ll throw a house party to beat all.

The Bret Michaels of Terminator Films

24-May-09

You know like, “every rose has its thorns” or “man, I didn’t age well but I still look better than Vince Neil.” Kinda like Terminator Salvation feels a lot like the disappointment from Revenge of the Sith and a lot less like Alien Versus Predator. Hey, I’m trying to find somewhere nice to start because […]

Terminate this: Salvation and McSuck

22-May-09

You know, as a card-carrying pinko-commie-hippie-liberal, I’m all for recycling.  Green planet and all that. Which must mean that McG is Al Gore’s BFF, because I will be damned if I can think of a sci-fi movie he DIDN’T rip off in putting together Terminator: Salvation.

Trek the Third: The Search for More Trek

19-May-09

Gaming Together: My Uncle Ken, Cousin Wes, Me, and Dad Okay, I may well be the closest to an actual Trekkie/Trekker on this blog. Like all aspects of my life that involve geekery, this one comes pretty much directly from my father. Let’s be honest, much of what we call preference likely exists as little more than random acts […]
