VillainTech Shirt Giveaway - Week 1

Only open to Merkans? Doh *sulks* I have an old school first gen Gameboy. Highly useful when ill and you don't have much strength or brainfunction, so you can play Tetris all day long. Otherwise, w...

Weird Gadgetry and Bobbles

Why would you want Jorbacca trying to crush you all day long?

Ripley and Beyond - Women in Science Fiction

Oh and I so hoped that in a surprise twist in the first Matrix film, the One turned out to be Trinity. I think it would have made a better film. But I still love them.

Ripley and Beyond - Women in Science Fiction

Have you ever seen the director's cut of T2? There's more back story to Sarah, including her physical development as well as her mental changes as she accepts the future possibilities and trains to ha...

You Too Can Cthulhu!

Have you caught up on lost sleep yet? :) I hope you had a ball!

"Spore" Set to Spawn on September 5th

Is it me or do you think that image looks a little like Animalia?

GenCon 2008 - Day One Teaser

Wow, I cannot get over the size of the venue. We have nothing that sort of size here, but then the population is much smaller than yours :) It's like going to a PC swap meet though, for the ratio o...

Nerd Heroes - Saturday Night Live

I hadn't thought of it until you said it but YES! Have you seen "Clockwatchers"? Predates Office Space, a female version, about temp workers. With Toni! I have a massive girl crush on Tina Fey t...

"The Dark Knight" Conquers

I don't think I can be bothered, to be honest. Christian Bale as Batman totally didn't do it for me last time, and I can't stand Ledger.

Nerd Heroes - SciFi Original Pictures

OMG! ALL THESE WONDERFUL MOVIES I HAVE NOT SEEN! *explodes with joy*

Gamer Girls Beware

I'd buy the Mean Girls one if I can be Tina Fey. ;) Or the bitchy mother with the rock hard implants. Or the gay BFF!

Nerd Heroes - Saturday Night Live

We missed out on so many wonderful comedians, not having SNL on tv in Australia :( So many of them I had to discover via film, like Steve Martin, Will Farrell and Tina Fey, because of that. You sho...

Riddle Me This…‘Batman’ Casting Rumors Begin

No doubt - he would be the best choice bar non. I like Jim Carrey but his Riddler was awful. As was that Batman movie. Batman Returns was and is the best of the franchise. Bar none.

Robots In Love

I don't think it's one of the best sci fi movies ever made, but it's not a sci fi. It's a love story. And it's beautiful and heart warming to behold. I want to cuddle Wall-e and tell him he's safe now...

Nerd Heroes – Literary Edition

JK actually aimed the Harry series at readers of the same age Harry is per book. So, although the first book is aimed at eleven year olds, as Harry ages, so does his target audience. And the tone and ...

Superhero Cage Match

I have never watched the tv series of Buffy; I found the film too stupid for words and the show looked marketed at spotty teenage males and tweenie girls. Very not my thing. Batman in Batman Retur...

Fly Me to the Booze

This is not the first review that says the second half is a mess. I used to love WIll, but ever since he started associating himself with the Scienobots, I am completely turned off. What once was a go...

Horrorculture: When Plants Attack

Nothing can surpass The Day of the Triffids for angry plants who wish to eat you! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055894/ I've never heard of this movie, but then I don't watch horrors. I find the ...

Like a Staple to the Head. No...Wait...

I'm hesitant to watch this because I don't think anyone could step into Don's shoes...no pun intended. It's an iconic role.

Make Boring Food into Nerdy Food!

Nerd food here is pizza and Coke. I know, I used to work in a hothouse of nerds. They aren't terribly imaginative in their ordering either, usually getting something with Meat Lovers in the name, or t...

Surprise! It Doesn't Suck!

I actually really liked the first Hulk film. However, it was an art house film with a cartoon character in it. I am looking forward to seeing this one to compare them. I cannot take Eric Bana serio...

The 2015 McFly Sneakers May Become Retail

I would rather have a hoverboard and a Delorean.

Sony Ericsson C702 Toilet Test Is Gross, Yet Intriguing

At least it wasn't yellow water, right? I have a Siemens ME75, which is water proof. One of the M series phones survived a dunking in a bowful of dog water, and continued to work, I can attest to t...

Plot? What plot? Shoot More People.

I'd see this only if Angelina died in the first scene. She's such a crap actress and so overrrated I loathe the woman. I like mindless, to a degree. Deliberately, calculating mindless purely to sel...

Kung-Fu Panda: A Digital Slacker Comedy

I saw a trailer for this recently and groaned. Dreamworks makes bad animated movies, which it licenses and merchandises to death so dumb people think it must be good if it's everywhere. Shrek was a on...

Nerd Heroes - John Hughes

I know, it's not a JH film but it ranks up there as one of the best eighties movies ever made. :D Now I have to go watch it again....and I'm at work. DAMMIT.

Nerd Heroes - John Hughes

Don't forget 'Better Off Dead" for eighties nerds done good! How could you not appreciate snow and jelly sniffing, suicidal skiing, "He puts his testicles all over me", Ricky, Japanese dudes who learn...

Only you can prevent GLOBAL ANNIHILATION

PS - I am glad that MNS is arrogant enough to put his name above the title nowadays. It's a PSA to warn the MNS haters that this is a movie to avoid, without any expenditure and outrage if you should ...

Only you can prevent GLOBAL ANNIHILATION

OH NOEZZZZ! THE TREES ARE GUNNA GET MEEEEEE! Heheh great review, Saxy! I saw Sixth Sense because I love Toni Collette (hate Bruce WIllis) and enjoyed it even though I figured out the twist about te...

The Aesthetics of Nerd-dom

Nothing says nerd like a pocket protector. Or a vinyl jacket, preferably brown, with a combover on top. Woooo I got a mention *happy dance* Heheheh glad you liked the article. I have noticed that ...

Godzilla ('98) - Revisited

You know, I have never seen this movie! I think the over the top thrusting down my throat of this film via advertising and merchandise really put me off it. How on earth can Ferris Bueller be scar...

Nerdology 101: An Introduction

Great piece! I've been a nerd all my life and it's been amusing to see nerdism become somewhat cool in the past decade. Prior to that, being a nerd meant wedgies, bullies and beatings. When the who...
