star trek - rebirth

I did it! I saw J.J. Abram's vision for Star Trek this weekend. Owning the inner-geek that I love, I had high hopes and uncontrollable anticipation for the film. This space opera is very shiny and stylized. Its geek + trendy = artsy. I admit it proudly, I loved it. I am already planning my second viewing. Who's coming with me?

I saw the movie in the Hollywood Arclight Cinema. If you're not familiar with Arclight, read about it here or take a nicely produced tour here. It's the only way to do movies these days. The only minus is their lack of an IMAX screen. Maybe one day.

In typical fashion, Arclight provided some props from the film to admire and of course allow me to take pictures so I may blog all about it. See, inner-geek coing out. Thanks Arclight.

Costumes and guns used in the film:

classics - movie edition

Oh the memories I have as a kid watching television in the 70's and 80's. So many tragic and exciting shows. I recently stumbled upon some lost movie favorites that clearly tapped into my nerdy side. Funny how they have not been remade. What, not everyone's favorite?

Do you have some classic favorites you want to share? Well share them already!

   

such a waste....land

Today, I have a web series to spotlight. Lady Wasteland brings together a world where technology is gone and people must live by their wits and courage alone. It's kind of a Mad Max, post apocalyptic sort of thing. People living on the fringe of existence, where almost anything goes, including cannibalism. This is a low budget, but a relatively good effort. You can see the director and crew have put a lot of care and thought into doing the best with what they have available. By the second episode, I even felt a little suspense rushing in my veins.

Side note: Even the website gets some high marks from me for the detail and creation of an immersive world.

Go check it out at Lady Wasteland
   

lightsaber fun

With a few days with a stomach bug, this is as where my mind ends up going. Who knew. Just some good old fashion dumb fun brought to you by the many geeky people online. Makes my recovery a little better.

Have you seen Primeval on BBC America? If you're a Torchwood, scifi, or a fan of the unusual, you should check this show out. I've only seen one episode and I am already hooked. iTunes had the first episode as a free download. I have the DVR set to grab all the episodes now. I hope the show continues to entertain.

Here's a few links to get you familiar with the show and maybe a few "related" links.
