The Great Geek Manual

Art

• Invading The Vintage is a gallery of amazing photography that bills itself as the “cute aliens invading grandpa’ postcards.”

Film

• The first viral site promoting Tron 2 has gone live: Flynn Lives.
• Hollywood.com offers A Visual Guide to Hollywood’s Most Eccentric Directors.
• Premiere.com has compiled a list of The 40 Most Beautiful Hollywood Women, but I seriously don’t understand how Jessica Biel keeps getting onto these lists. Am I the only one over her?
• SciFi Wire has posted a five minute clip of the animated scifi movie 9. It look like it’s going to be the best animated movie to come out in years.
• When I look back at the Decade of Disturbing Films for Children that was the eighties, I find it amazing that our generation isn’t even more screwed up than we are.

Television

• Den of Geek’s list of the Top 10 Buffy The Vampire Slayer Episodes is fodder for argument or I’m not a geek. Personally, I think Once More, With Feeling gets robbed at number six.
