Movie Posters Without the Text…Part 2

Movie posters are iconic pieces of art but it is amazing how much the titles and font are part of the visual appeal.  We check out what the posters look like with the text stripped away and only the visual to sell the story.

Geek Culture Cross Stitch Is Sew Adorable!

Say hello to the Wee Little Stitches Etsy shop, where all your geek sewing & cross stitch dreams can come true. The shop was born out of love for needle and thread and the desire to stitch things which are not only simple and quick, but which reflect geek pop culture tastes. Shop owner Jacqueline said her business is a creative partnership. She goes on to say; “Our friends and family must be getting tired of the number of times we turn to each other and say ‘you know what would make a good cross-stitch pattern…?‘ We really do sleep, breathe, and eat stitching!”

Want to see more of Jacqueline’s work, check it out after the break:

True Sequels We Need to See!

Back in Episode 21 of Gabbing Geek, the Geeks played a game of “Sequel, Reboot, or LET IT DIE!” In that now legendary segment (my mom liked it), we offered our not so humble opinions on how to manage some prominent Geek film properties.  A movie like Goonies, for instance, could be rebooted for a new generation, continued with the original kids now parents to a next generation of Goonies, or Let the franchise die (which is somewhat incompatible with their motto…) Some franchises were destined to be continued, yet along the way the wheels fell off the bus.  Let’s make up for Hollywood’s sins and green light a few films in the PURE SEQUEL category.

Gabbing Geek 21: Golden Son & Prophecies

This. Read this. Now. Unless you haven’t read the first book. In which case, read that. Then read this.

 

Gabbing Geek’s first podcast of 2015 is now live and we FINALLY get to talk about Golden Son, the second book in the Red Rising trilogy.  If you’ve read the first book, Red Rising, or don’t care about spoilers for the first book, then you’ll absolutely want to listen to this episode–we don’t spoil anything for book 2.  But if you want to participate in our Gabbing Geek Book Club in 4 weeks, be sure to read both Red Rising and Golden Son (they’re page turners, you won’t have any problems, Jenny guarantees it!).
