GeekGasm: A Look at the Latest Avatar Trailer in IMAX 3D! A Difference Than Any 3D Predecessor

I’ll admit it.  I was not particularly excited about seeing Avatar.  I even got to see an advance look at multiple scenes at ComicCon with James Cameron (and 8000 of our closest friends) but I simply wasn’t all that blown away.  Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to see it, I just wasn’t all that [...]

GeekGasm: A Look At 3D IMAX With A Christmas Carol Is It AGimmick or Evolution?

Remember when you got that guitar (or keyboard or whatever) on Christmas when you were a kid?  It was perfectly ok for you to spend a few days experimenting with all of the noises you could make with your new toy…no matter how cacophonous the result. After a while though, people want to hear those [...]

Hasbro just announced today that they were set on developing a new line for their Jurassic Park toyline. Plans to re-unleash the legendary dinosaurs from Universal Pictures’ Jurassic Park.

Geekgasm: <em>Legion</em> Who are the Good Guys Again?

Geekgasm: Legion Who are the Good Guys Again?

OK, I guess I get it.  Anytime somebody used to have a stroke when some director plowed into a treasured comic book or screen universe with an astonishing level of ignorance in regards to its mythos, I would dismiss their histrionics with an eyeroll and a shrug of the shoulder.  I mean, the director is [...]

Why Joss Whedon Not Coming Back For Buffy Re-make is Good

So something I struggled with over the past few weeks is the news that the right holders of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer were going to remake the superpowered vamp slayer for the big screen but without the help of creator Joss Whedon.
“I think that’s something better left untouched by me,” Whedon tells Entertainment Weekly. “So [...]

Star Trek’s Controversial Script Decisions and the Shatner Scene that Wasn’t

I have been rummaging through MTV today and they have some great articles for reading. One in particular dealt with a conversation they had with screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci about scripting the new Star Trek film and the challenges and controversial issues that went into the screenplay.
Both writers labored over the script making [...]

Save Chuck…and Sarah! Save Chuck Campaign

Save Chuck…and Sarah
Once again the fate of many of our favorite shows is in the hands of the Big Four networks.  I only wish that I could say that their track record instills me with confidence: showing a propensity to look past the numbers and see the potential of a show, discerning talent where no [...]
