Geek Media Round-Up: May 15, 2009

15 May 2009  Media

Art

  • Ever seen that amazing 3D Chalk Art that floats about the internet? Here’s how it was done.

Film

  • Columnist Michael Cassutt explains Why Batman Begins worked and Wolverine didn’t.
  • Despite the economic crunch, Sony Pictures still managed to come out in the black, but the company’s CEO is still complaining. The scapegoat? The internet, of course.
  • Ironically, despite the all of the studios’ bellyaching, Healthy boxoffice sales are hurting Blockbuster.
  • The Los Angeles Times profiles Terminator: Salvation director McG, who claims, “I have a lot to prove.”
  • Over at SciFi Wire, the Writer of the latest Terminator discusses Time Paradoxes.
  • Time Out does an impressive job choosing these 50 Essential Sci-fi Films, but they completely invalidate themselves when they include Zardoz in their list. That film has never been essential to anything.

Internet

  • The Daily Galaxy asks Will Humans’ Brains Change During Travel in Outer Space?
  • Disney Lab unveils its latest Line of Genetically Engineered Child Stars.

Literature

  • Free Fiction: Read “Elvis in the Attic” by Catherine M. Morrison at Escape Pod.
  • Free Fiction: Read “The God in the Box” by Sewell Peaslee Wright at Feedbooks.
  • Free Fiction: Read “Tastes of the Dark” by Malin Larsson at HUB Magaziine.
  • Free Fiction: Read “Ten Little Phobias” by Bev Vincent at Afterburn SF.

Television

  • Is Doctor Who too scary for kids? More importantly, Is that a bad thing?
  • Victim of Culture sings the praises of Dollhouse, calling it “A Show Truly about Ideas.” (Spoiler alert) Someone must agree with them, because, shockingly, Fox is considering bringing Dollhouse back.

Writing

  • Editor Unleashed asks What makes for great flash fiction?
