This week saw the death of one of my favorite blogs because dudes. Not gonna name it here, because fuck you, but the blogger in question posted one last thing, and fuckin’ dudes. So, yeah, with women feeling pushed out of nerd spaces all over by bullying jerks who never learned to share or consider… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #331 – No, you get off MY lawn!
Ok, so I’ve heard a few people talk about being bored or just not thinking Ghostbusters was funny. 😐 So, when did you have your soul surgically removed? No, seriously. I don’t know what I expected. The trailer was meh, the internet hype with all the whiny manbabies was just out of control. I hoped for… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #330 – Review: Ghostbusters (2016)
See, look. I was all mature and did not use the word “shit” in the title. Look at me, being an adult. Ok, so this piece about how maybe the Nazi Captain America is the racist “hero” we deserve. No. No, not with Cap. Look, I get it. You’re trying to salvage this steaming pile… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #329 – More Captain America Stuff
I’m taking a break from angry to review these nail wraps the Geek Girlfriend What Rules got me for my birthday from Espionage Cosmetics. First, the ease of application: A it didn’t take me any longer to apply them than it does to paint my nails with nail polish. In fact, probably less time because… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #328 – Review: Espionage Cosmetics Nailwraps
This is a more refined version of something I said on a friend’s G+ thread. For me the re-booting or re-telling of a property needs to involve respect for the source material. Which is one of the reasons I loved The Force Awakens, because JJ Abrams obviously loves the original Star Wars, while he does not… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #327 – Why Ghostbusters and Captain America are a false equivalency
So, as I referenced at the bottom of my review of CA:CW, Ben Kuchera wrote a great article called “Someone Help Tony Stark.” It is a wonderfully written article, and I agree with Kuchera’s description of Tony Stark, as written, sliding further and further into PTSD and other mental health issues. He wants to know… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #326 – Response to “Someone Help Tony Stark”
Yeah, I got sucked into the drama caused by this interview. And no I’m not posting the picture, because it pisses me off and my blood pressure is high enough. Look, so many people have said it more eloquently, and I’ll round those up at the bottom of this post. But I’m going to say… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #325 – Captain America is not a Nazi
Ok, you’ve had Danielle’s review, which was awesome! She really hit a lot of the stuff I tend to gloss over. This bitch, here, wants to talk plot, context and comic canon. I also want to start out with, I loved Captain America: Civil War. Hooray to the Russo Brothers for creating a Civil War… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #324 – Review of Captain America Civil War
Best. Marvel. Film. Ever. Or yet, at least. Which is saying a lot. In the aftermath of the destruction in The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Avengers: Age of Ultron, as well as a mission gone awry early in this film, the United Nations prepares to ratify accords that would place the Avengers under… Read More Review: Captain America: Civil War
I talk about the Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood a lot. My most re-tweeted tweet was “Dear Republican Party, The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian SF novel, not a how-to manual. No Love, Me.” I blame it in part for my stationery hoarding problem. I reference it in talking about Bitch Planet. It’s kind of a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #323 – SF Feminist History: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
