Happy New Year! Welcome 2020! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, 2019. I did not think I was going to like the Mandalorian. Given the fanboy worship of the character of Boba Fett over the past few decades, my hopes were not high for this show. Yes, I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #626 – Review – Mandalorian (first three or four episodes)
I have not yet watched Star Trek Discovery, but I may need to for many, many reasons. One of these reasons is my raging crush on Jason Isaacs, which was made worse by hearing him call out racists and bigots who have a problem with the lead of that show being a young black woman.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #622 – Did You Just Get Here or Something?
So, I have spent the entire day attempting to write this post, and getting blocked. To the point where what you get is my ode to procrastination. I have frequently told people that my house was never so clean as during finals week when I was in college. “What? Yes, I have like five papers… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #621 – Procrastination
So, Bitch magazine had an interview with Nina MacLaughlin where she talked about how it dawned on her one day that nearly every story in Ovid’s Metamorphoses is about rape or attempted rape. She’s right. It’s always couched in terms of “deflowered her,” or “then she knew his love,” or some shit like that. But… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #620 – Review: Wake, Siren by Nina MacLaughlin
Apart from Rom-coms. I can’t even with the majority of rom-coms. Or, more to the point, I will see more rom-coms when they quit making giant, glaring examples of toxic dating/relationship culture. See, the studio machine for the most part, Disney at least appears to have pulled their heads out of their asses, do this… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #618 – Why Seeing Women-Made and Focused Movies Matter
So, first off, JR Honeycutt who is a board game designer has been outed as an abuser/predator. Next is Andrew Medeiros, co-author of the Watch with Anna Kreider, has been accused of emotional abuse. Actually both of these cases involve emotional abuse, one almost solely, and the other as part and parcel of the physical… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #617 – More Gaming #MeToo’s
CORRECTION: PH Lee is Ben Lehmann. I think I knew that, but they told me during the height of migraine time, and my memory still has gaps. I am going in to make edits. So, yeah, we were having some serious internet issues last night. I finally just got seriously grumpy and gave up. The… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #616 – Hot Guys Making Out
Argh! I wrote this out, and then it got eaten! Grrrrr. Anyway, I spent the last two days at Geek Girl Con, and ran a couple sessions of Blue Rose for Green Ronin Publishing. First, though, Friday we went to the first punk show we’ve been to in two years. Our friends Ol’ Doris recorded… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #613 – Geek Girl Con!
You know that post I did about not actually being over Marvel? Here is the Star Wars counterpart. I am not militant about spoilers. I think if a movie is ruined because you know what happens, it isn’t a very good movie. It’s like how movies that rely on jump scares are not actually scary.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #612 – Star Wars
Ok, so this one is real broad. But it’s a thing that gets bandied about a lot. You have places like the AFK tavern, who have very cute, themed names. Or Cafe Mox, where they have an attached game store, and you can pick up the games they let you borrow, or buy dice if… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #607 – Nerd Cuisine
