Geek Media Round-Up: January 16, 2009

16 Jan 2009  Media

Comics

  • Forbidden Planet talks with Alan Moore about Watchmen and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Film

  • According to MTV, the Captain Marvel movie may still happen. I honestly don’t know if that’s good news or bad, though.
  • John Scalzi talks about SciFi TV Series Become Movies That Fail, then pisses me off by naming Serenity.
  • SciFi Wire takes a shot at predicting the best and worst films of 2009… as if anyone at the SciFi Channel has any right to judge other films with the crap they turn out.

Internet

  • Deen of Geek has posted a gallery of the Top 50 Sexy Sci-fi Costumes.
  • Is there racism inherent in Dungeons & Dragons? Flame Princess says no but seems to think that its a close thing.
  • The Top 6 Things Overheard at the U.S.S. Enterprise Holiday Party.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: An author by the name of joel Sieh is publish a fantasy story entitled “Iron and Ash” in installments on his blog.
  • Free Fiction: Read “The People’s Machine” by Tobias S. Buckell over at Scribd.
  • Free Fiction: Read “The People’s Machine” by Tobias S. Buckell over at Scribd.
  • Bibliophile Stalker reflects that the discontinuation of The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror anthology is the end of an era.
  • Genreville asks publicists: What Do You Think of Book Trailers?
  • Sadly, Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, my favorite magazine, has announced that, beginning in March, it will no longer be offered as a monthly publication, hitting stands bimonthly instead.

Television

  • Brace yourself, Comedy Central is about to launch a new fantasy series, Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire.
  • SciFi Wire has an exclusive clip of Sci Fi’s new series, Warehouse 13 if, some reason, you just can’t wait to see what turd the SciFi channel is about to squeeze out next.
  • Topless Robot lists The 7 Sci-Fi Shows That Deserved Better Endings. While I personally think it would be easier to list sci-fi series that ended well, I totally disagree with their assertion that Quantum Leap should have ended differently. I thought the last episode was nearly perfect.
