Geek Media Round-Up: December 4, 2008

4 Dec 2008  Media

Art

  • Check out the Gallery of BattleStar Galactica Artwork drawn by Star Wars Concept Artists.
  • RabitTooth has a great line of “Steam Punk” Star Trek Wallpapers.
  • WellMedicated has posted a gallery of Vintage “Space Age” Illustrations.

Comics

  • Read scans from Adam Link in Business from Weird Science-Fantasy No. 29 over at Grantbridge Street.

Film

  • Strange Horizons runs down everything you need to know about The Day the Earth Stood Still.
  • Suvudu lists The Top 10 Horror Movies of 2008. The Strangers predictably makes the list, though, despite scaring the living crap out of me, it only ranks the bottom position; however, Let the Right One In and The Ruins rank one and two, leaving me with the feeling that these people know what they’re talking about.
  • Watch the 1997 film Gattaca online at Crackle. It’s not exactly action packed, but its a great film nonetheless.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: Listen to “Queen of the Black Coast” by Robert E. Howard performed with a full cast over at Broken Sea Audio.
  • Free Fiction: Listen to the vintage tale “Santa Clause Conquers the Martians” at Dr. Forrest’s Cheeze Factory.
  • Free Fiction: Read “Spring Training: A Lucifer Jones Story” by Mike Resnick at Subterranean online.
  • Tor.com’s Jo Walton looks at the issue of swearing in genre fiction in the article Knights Who Say “Fuck”.

Music

  • The latest music video from How I Became the Bomb for their song “Salvage Mission” features a pilot in a star fighter. Great graphics, mediocre song.

Writing

  • What Never to Say to a Writer?/a>
