Oh dear god, another year, another big screen adaptation of a fighting video game. The year is 2039. World Wars have destroyed much of civilization as we know it. The remaining territories are no longer run by governments, but by corporations, the mightiest of which is Tekken. In order to keep the masses down, Tekken [...]
In the past week, there have been a number of different fundraising efforts for disaster relief in Haiti, showcasing a global outpouring of generosity. One effort in particular caught my eye, however – the Livejournal community ontd_startrek (translation: oh no they didn’t), which managed to raise $15,000 in two days. Okay, so maybe it’s not [...]
I don’t know about you guys, but as far as I’m concerned, this is going to be THE IMAX movie to see this year. Just imagine, a trip in space… to fix the Hubble telescope… in 3D! Through the power of IMAX® 3D, Hubble 3D will enable movie-goers to journey through distant galaxies to explore [...]

Today is a good day for birthdays in the geek world. No, I’m not saying that David Bowie is a geek necessarily. He, however, has made a huge impact on geekery in general. A pusher of boundaries, an over-the-top-personality, and certainly a man with his own set of rules, he’s one of the people who [...]

I’ve been a Star Wars fan since 1977, but I suppose you’d call me a casual fan. Until this morning, I had no idea there was a character named Jek Porkins. Who? In the most critical sequence of one of the most popular movies of all time, George Lucas cast William Hootkins, a portly, bearded [...]
