So, I went to see Avengers for the third time last night! And got to meet a charming gentleman who said he read my blog (Hello!!!!). I took my friend Kayla because her boyfriend hadn’t taken her yet (in all fairness their work schedules are completely opposite right now). So we went up to the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #220 – Women Love Widow.
Ridley Scott returns to the science fiction genre for the first time in three decades with a film that’s partly a companion piece to his 1979 classic, Alien, and partly something quite different. The result is his best film in a very long time. Archaeologists Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) believe… Read More Review: Prometheus
Today is the 35th anniversary of the release of Star Wars. For my generation, it was a defining moment of our youth. I have no doubt that it was the gateway to geekdom for so many of us. I was already a fan of Space: 1999 and The Six Million Dollar Man, but the experience… Read More Star Wars: The 35th Anniversary
This film is made of so much win that no winometer can even measure it. These iconic Marvel Comics characters finally come together as a team, and it lives up to all of the expectations and hype. SHIELD Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) brings together Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor… Read More Review: The Avengers
Over on G33kWatch, they posted the story of the five year old boy who got his pictures taken with cast members during the filming of the Avengers (my current obsession. Hello? Geek!) Anyway, they tracked down the father of the boy, who was a friend/colleague to tell them the story of how Edison got his… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #214 – When Actors are Awesome!
Ok, so I talked about this a little in the Avengers review. But I think I want to expand on it. One of the reasons that superheroes resonate with us is that we can relate to them on some level, like my infatuation with Hawkeye using a bow. But female superheroes seem to lack resonating… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #212 – Why We Love Superheroes.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I’m calm. Ahem. So, speaking of Superheroes, the Geek Room-mate What Rules took me and the Geek Husband What Rules to see The Avengers for my birthday this weekend. Now, I realize that there are a few people out there who are not so pleased with the movie, but let me clarify what… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #211 – Review: The Avengers!!!!!
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this novella. I hadn’t read any of Ms. Morrigan’s other stuff, but I got it at Norwescon and once I finished sobbing my eyes out at the third Hunger Games book, I piled into this one. The Summoning is a novella in Ms. Morrigan’s Custodes Noctis series, an… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #207 – Review: The Summoning by Muffy Morrigan
Ok, so there is one problem with not having cable and watching all your television on Netflix, and that’s that you spend a lot of time being woefully behind the times. But, I’m enthusiastic enough about this show that I really don’t care. Weapon Masters is hosted by Chad (an engineer/mad scientist) and Mike who… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #205 – Weapon Masters
GO BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!! Ahem. Allow me to collect myself. Ok, Seanan McGuire is one of the very few authors that I will go out of my way to buy the first week their books come out. I can often be heard to lament that she doesn’t constantly have more books coming out… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #203 – Review: Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire
