Geeks of Doom Invades Dragon*Con 2010 banner



We don't necessarily need to do much of an introduction for the 40 notable photos taken by Geeks of Doom photographer Derek Deweese (and a few by myself, which you can tell by the crappy quality of my iPhone 3G) at Dragon*Con 2010.

You can imagine the difficulty in sifting through your photos each night when there are five convention-sized hotels filled with costumed geeks. To do this over the good part of a week, well, you can see why it might be *somewhat* of a task.

But, alas, check out our last batch of photo coverage of this year's Dragon*Con after the jump [...]

‘Black Dynamite’ Comic on the Way

Posted: 16 Sep 2010 02:52 PM PDT



This project has not been formally announced yet, but yesterday, finished pages from a Black Dynamite comic hit the internet.

For those not in the know, Black Dynamite is the mock blaxploitation, or moxploitation, film about a badass federal agent who wages war against "The Man" after his brother dies from overdosing on "smack." Michael Jai White (Spawn, The Dark Knight) is the lead character Black Dynamite.

I LOVED the movie and thought that it was a perfect homage to the 70's blaxploitation films and a witty satire at the same time. I am eagerly awaiting a formal announcement on this comic from Ape Entertainment. I will buy the singles and the trade. I want this hardcover on my shelf. I can't wait to read Black Dynamite's battles against "The Man" on a monthly basis [...]

Mark Wahlberg Brawls As Christian Bale Struggles In The First Trailer For ‘The Fighter’

Posted: 16 Sep 2010 01:29 PM PDT



The first trailer for the new movie, The Fighter, has shown up online after a lengthy trip through various stages of production. The film was originally set to be directed by Darren Aronofsky before David O. Russell stepped in for the job, and production began well over a year ago in July of last year.

The Fighter stars Mark Wahlberg as boxer and New England legend "Irish" Mickey Ward at a time when he was trying to make a name for himself as a fighter, while at the same time taking fights with boxers expected to demolish him just so he could grab a paycheck. It also follows his brother, Dickie Eckland (played by Christian Bale), who also used to box (once going the distance against the great Sugar Ray Leonard) before a drug problem forced him to retire and move on to become one of Ward's trainers.

You can head over to the other side to check out the trailer here and now. [...]

Night of the Living Trekkies

Earlier this month, Quirk Books released their latest mash-up novel Night Of The Living Trekkies, written by Kevin David Anderson and Sam Stall.

It's a real fun book -- yes, fun! -- about a bunch of Star Trek convention attendees who find themselves faced with hordes of the undead! [Check out my full review of the book for my thoughts.]

Quirk has just released a trailer for Night Of The Living Trekkies, which you can watch here below.

I know, you're probably not accustomed to watching trailers for books, but this one is pretty hilarious. Matter of fact, I'm just about ready to see this movie made! [...]
