Geek Media Round-Up: March 27, 2009

27 Mar 2009  Media

Art

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

  • Alright, maybe it isn’t art per se, but if you’ve spent as much money as I have over the years on Star Wars, I think that you’re going to find something beautiful about saving money by folding your own Star Wars Papercraft Models.

Comics

  • OMGLists picks The 9 Coolest Comic Book Antiheroes and The 8 Most Awesome Comic Book Vehicles.

Film

  • FilmSchool Rejects names the 10 Most Foul-Mouthed Characters in Movie History.
  • Jinni, the best film recommendation engine on the web, has posted a Looking Back at 10 Cinematic Visions of the Future, though I don’t know who puts Clockwork Orange at the top of any list.
  • MSN Movies has posted Six new Movie Posters for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Ron looks particularly good, but Malfoy’s costume is a bit odd.
  • Oddee remembers the 9 Worst Movie Set Disasters in cinematic history, beginning with the one that killed the Duke.

Internet

  • 9 Good Things The Internet Has Ruined Forever.

Literature

  • Over at Tor.com, Jo Walton discusses Series that go Downhill. “…is it better to have loved and lost than never loved before? Is it better to pretend the series could still be good and never read the disappointing sequels…”

Television

  • The truth about What’s going on Behind the Scenes of Lost.
  • Last Friday, windows burst and dogs went wild across the town of Esparto. Nearby, National Geographical Survey sensors picked up as a “small event” ground tremor. Was it an Earthquake? Nope, MythBusters detonated 500 pounds of Ammonium Nitrate at a rock quarry in Yolo County, California. I can’t wait to find out why.

Video Games

  • Mashable rounds up 20 Free Role Playing Games for the iPhone.
  • Pixelated Geek has posted a gallery from a Left 4 Dead Photoshoot. The picture are as good as movie stills. Definitely worth a look.
