All the News that's Fit to Blog- This Week in Geek
Play-Doh, the movie. Yes, this is a real thing, not an April Fools' prank. I have no words to describe how absolutely creatively bankrupt this idea is. Commercial as Lego and Transformers were, they at least had toys that, to some extent, had inherent story potential. Play-doh is clay. I have no idea how this will work, but I would bet dollars to donuts 'well' is not in any version of this scenario.
Winnie The Pooh, in live-action. Again in the category of 'very bad ideas', Disney has announced a live-action adaptation of Winnie the Pooh, featuring an adult Christopher Robin revisiting the Hundred Acre Wood. This I can at least muster the will to wait to pass judgment on, since there is at least a kernel of original thought put into it.
Sesame Street- Game of Chairs Usually, I don't link comedy skits, but I've made an exception here, for the simple fact that Game of Thrones is now mainstream enough to be the target of a Sesame Street skit. We have officially become mainstream, nerds. Rejoice!
NECA reveals Terminator: Genisys figures These are some pretty nice looking stuff, though I think it's interesting how much they look like NECA's T2 offerings. Still, worth it for the improved legs on Arnie and hopefully, the new T-1000 will have similar updates when it reaches retail.
This blog is a haven. A little corner of the internet for us. A place where I intend to report on, and celebrate, geek culture. Video games, anime, comic books, action figures- even tokusatsu. Don't be ashamed. Stand proud for your fandoms. For all those little things you love. And let your geek flag fly!
