Geeks of Doom vs. New York Comic Con 2011

The Photo Parade for last weekend's New York Comic-Con continues with the Sunday edition.

For any other convention, Sunday would be the slowest of all the convention days, but not at this Con, where the final day is Kid's Day. And at this time, it's just as busy as any other day and these pics prove it.

As usual, if you see yourself in any of these photos, give a shout out! [...]

Geeks of Doom vs. New York Comic Con 2011

During last weekend's New York Comic-Con, Geeks of Doom got a chance to chat with Ashley Eckstein, star of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series and founder of Her-universe, a line of merchandise geared towards female sci-fan fans.

Eckstein took some time out of her busy schedule to give us some one-on-one screen time to discuss the creation of Her-Universe and the future of the company, which includes a deal with Disney Parks, as well as how she fared on a certain old school game show. She also dished on what's happening in Season 4 of Clone Wars and what's going on with her character.

Comic Review: Monocyte #1

Posted: 23 Oct 2011 12:00 PM PDT

Review by Matthew Manarino IDW Publishing: Monocyte #1

Monocyte #1
Created and written by Menton3, Kasra Ghanbari
Art by Menton3
IDW Publishing
Release Date: October 19, 2011
Cover Price: $3.99


Let me start off by saying Monocyte is dark, I mean really dark. With the exception of some spilled blood here and there the entire comic is done monochromatically. Characters' bodies are either detailed masses of flesh and bone painstakingly drafted in black and grays, or they are huge black masses with unidentifiable torsos. Of course there will be H.R. Giger comparisons to artist Menton3's style and scope, and in this lies my issue with Monocyte. Each panel is so beautifully drawn and inked that they deserve to be single-standing illustrations, the words within each panel seemed like an afterthought. This was enhanced more by the fact that with art so meticulously rendered, the story seemed rushed and unevenly paced at many points in this issue [...]

Movie Review: Paranormal Activity 3

Paranormal Activity 3 movie poster

Paranormal Activity 3
Directed by Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman
Written by Christopher B. Landon, Oren Peli
Starring Lauren Bittner, Chloe Csengery, Christopher Nicholas Smith, Jessica Tyler Brown, Dustin Ingram, Katie Featherston, Sprague Grayden
Release Date: October 21, 2011


It was not surprising that Paranormal Activity was turned into a franchise after the original, which was made on a budget of $15,000, made over $100 million at the box office. What is surprising is that Paranormal Activity 3, despite rehashing the same formula as the first two films, still manages to scare people half to death.

The evil is back. The incorporeal evil has been caught on tape again, and this time it has a name... Toby. That's right, the malevolent entity haunting the family in the Paranormal Activity series is named Toby. At least, that is, according to Kristi (Jessica Tyler Brown), who gives the name to what her sister Katie (Chloe Csengery) thinks is her imaginary friend. Katie and Kristie both learn the hard way that Toby is not imaginary in the first two films, but Paranormal Activity 3 is set in 1988, when the girls are still children living with their mother Julie (Lauren Bittner) and stepdad Dennis (Christopher Nicholas Smith) [...]

Frank Oz Reveals Why He Turned Down ‘The Muppets’

Posted: 23 Oct 2011 07:00 AM PDT

The Muppets

When The Muppets hits theaters the day before Thanksgiving the movie will be missing one of the original "Muppeteers": Frank Oz.

Before becoming a director with films as diverse as the 1986 musical remake of Little Shop of Horrors and the DeNiro/Brando/Norton crime drama The Score to his credit, Oz provided the voices and movements for several of the most iconic Muppet characters including Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Animal as well as Grover and Cookie Monster on Sesame Street. He also did the voice and puppeteering for Yoda in the original Star Wars trilogy (for the prequels Oz only did the voice, as Yoda was now a CGI character) [...]
