This Week in Geek- Early Edition



We've had a bit of an interesting week for geek news- interesting enough I'm taking a look at some of it early. See what's happened so far, this week in geek!

Marvel Lego SHIELD Helicarrier.
Lego has leaked pictures of a set fans have wanted for a while, a SHIELD Helicarrier from Avengers! At 3000 pieces and $350 price, though, this is a huge investment of money and time- clearly, this is for the most enthusiastic of fans.

Terminator Genisys- new poster and teaser!
The latest Terminator film wants you to know- he's back. Arnold looks better than ever on the new poster for Terminator Genisys. This movie has a lot of hurdles to handle if it's going to be better than the two that proceeded it- but if these are indicative, it might just do it.

Chris Pratt is the new Indiana Jones?
I know- he's funny. I don't deny it. But why does Indiana Jones need a reboot? I admit, I asked the same question a few years back when Rise of the Planet of the Apes was on the horizon, but until and unless there's some clear, interesting angle, I don't think Indy is a film series that needs to be reset.

New Ghostbusters is all-female, cast announced.
This one I'm willing to give a chance on principle- it has a basic shift of the premise that might have some novel ideas. An all-girl team fundamentally introduces the idea of different dynamic of humor to the original and could theoretically be interesting. However, until we see anything concrete, I don't intend to judge either way.
