Geek Media Round-Up: July 14, 2009

14 Jul 2009  Media

Comics

  • Architect’s Journal counts down the Top 10 Comic Book Cities, and no, Gotham isn’t number one.

Film

  • The Art of Manliness names 100 Must See Movies: The Essential Men’s Movie Library.
  • Den of Geek picks out the Top 10 Harry Potter supporting characters.
  • Reportedly, Lenard Nimoy is Open to More “Star Trek”.
  • Topless Robot names 5 Direct-to-DVD Sci-Fi Movie Sequels That Should Never Have Happened… but probably could have gone on for five or ten more.
  • The Vatican gives Harry Potter film thumbs up. Is this the beginning of a new Catholic ratings system? Will Ebert allege infringement?

Internet

  • Discover Magazine takes a look Behind the Scenes & Under the Hood: Virtuality’s Antimatter Spacecraft Engine.
  • “How Teenagers Consume Media: the report that shook the City” is common sense explanation of what media teens use. Most it come as no news to me, but evidently, it’s been causing a bit of an uproar among media outlets… which just goes to show how badly out of touch with their audience they are.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: Cherie Priest has posted the first chapter of her steampunk novel Boneshaker.
  • Free Fiction: Listen to “Let Us Now Praise Awesome Dinosaurs” by Leonard Richardson at Strange Horizons.
  • Free Fiction: “Trench Foot” by Catherine J. Gardner at Fantasy Magazine.
  • Interview: Adventures in SciFi interviews James Enge, author of Blood of Ambrose.
  • Stuart Jeffries of the Guardian claims we are living in a Golden age for British Science Fiction.
