Geek Media Round-Up: September 1, 2009

2 Sep 2009  Media

Art

Steampunk Cellphone

  • Check out the Steampunk Cellphone at GearFuse.
  • The Toy Zone has posted a gallery of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Origami.
  • In a warehouse converted into artist studios in West Oakland, 60 plus volunteers are building a 40 foot tall Raygun Gothic Rocketship to go to the Burning Man Project.

Comics

  • The Marvel Database Project is a Wikia wiki devoted to the Marvel universe. I’m not a big enough Marvel fan to gauge it complete-ness, but it’s a lot of fun surf.
  • GeekDad points to Seven Comics Off the Beaten Path.

Film

  • Interview: Ain’titCool talks with about Terry GilliamThe Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.
  • News: David Goyer: “Magneto” Moving Forward.
  • News: Neither Lawyers Nor Killer Robots Will Stop Terminator 5, Say Sources.
  • Cinematical names three Filmmakers Who Love To Talk About Movies. Try to guess which three.
  • In Contention has a list of the 10 Most Anticipated Films of the Season.
  • SciFi Scanner runs down The Ten Most Dastardly Supervillain Quotes, and I love their choice for the number one slot (though it kills me that they didn’t choose “Why so serious?”)

Literature

  • Free Fiction: Read “Is this your Day to Join the Revolution” by Genevieve Valentine at Futurismic.
  • Free Fiction: Scott Lynch has posted the prologue to the long awaited book The Republic of Thieves on his website.
  • The BookFox rages against the Plunging Standards of our current education system.

Television

  • In an interview with The TV Addict, Thomas Dekker says TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES may be back and spills a few details about its possible season three storylines. However, the utter lack of any mention of robot rampages kinda makes me think it’s better all around if it just stays dead.
  • io9 has created A Graph That Explains Scifi TV After Star Trek.

Video Games

  • Topless Robot looks back at 8 Videogame Bosses with Extremely Dubious Motivations.

Writing
