Geek Media Round-Up: August 7, 2009

7 Aug 2009  Media

Film

  • Review: Ouch! The Sydney Morning Herald says G.I. Joe: Rise Of The Cobra is so bad it makes the worst of the second round of Star Wars movies look good.
  • Cinema Blend call the Movie Posters for Surrogate a Rip-off. Of course, the T:SCC poster were rip-offs of an even earlier ad. Good ol’ Hollywood. Why invent when you can borrow.
  • IGN names 10 Evil Movie Corporations, forgetting my personal favorites, ENCOM from the movie Tron and NURV from the movie Antitrust.
  • Movie Review Intelligence is a great new site that combines the best features of Rotten Tomatoes and MetaCritics, only it seems more useful than either.

Internet

  • Wired takes a look at The Science-Fact Behind Surrogates.

Literature

  • First Amendment alert: A U.S. District Court Bans ‘Catcher In The Rye’ Sequel written on the grounds of copyright infringement despite there being no duplication whatsoever. Can the First Amendment and copyright law stand side-by-side.
  • For those fans out there who have gotten their panties in a twist over the slow delivery of the next book in The Game of Thrones series, here’s a lyrical reminder that George R.R. Martin is not your Bitch.

Television

  • Fox executives are attempting to appease fans by promising We’ll leave Dollhouse alone this time.

Video Games

  • Finally, someone gets it! The Guardian explains Why World of Warcraft may be the future of the nation-state.
