The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: A place in the world for pulp!

THURSDAY

I’ve learned that everything doesn’t have to be Tolstoy, Godard or Mozart. Sometimes it’s wonderful to just be entertained.

Wise words that came from a blogger who remembered that being a movie snob can be exhausting and sometimes it’s alright to love the blockbusters… all that thanks to Whedon and Avengers. BTW, Hiddes made me of aware of that awesome post! Stalking his Twitter is always so rewarding~

Benedict Cumberbatch will be reading World War I poetry while period appropiate music is played on piano in the background. That sounds like an awesome festival. Dammit.

Ok, let me tell you this, while I will probably go watch Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter with my mates, I haven’t been that excited about it, despite my love of violence, vampires and Abe Lincoln’s fashion style. That said, this trailer hit my vintage gamer vibe.

And because I’ll never NOT be excited about a Jurassic Park movie, Jurassic Park IV got writers… and they are Rise of the Planet of the Apes writers! This makes me happy.

FRIDAY

Sadly not much news today. So I used the time to be up to date on one of my favourite blogs: Hello Taylor. Specifically its series of posts about Prometheus, even if the lady blogger didn’t like the movie as much as I did.

But hey, what is this! The trailer of the Black Dynamite animated series? Yes, it is based on the blaxploitation action/comedy homage. So tune in to Adult Swim on July 15th.

And that’s it for the week! I’m ready for my geeky weekend, for I will be attending a comic festival, so I’ll buy some fanzines and merchandising, and take pictures of some cosplayers. Woo! Laters~

    It seems nowadays people are REALLY into badly written fiction as long as it’s a wee bit different than what’s been published and promoted to the masses. I mean, if you wanna read fanfic-like smut, do yourself a favor and go to any number of fanfic writers and give them your patronage. They write much better and their stories are at least more accurate regarding the sexual acts. It’s sad that people will just hop on any dick that seems shiny and new. (excuse my language… sorta angry about this whole 50 Shades of Grey thing).

      @Camiele, Don’t worry gal. It made me curse too. I mean, the hell! That piece of trash book started as damn Twilight fanfiction! Like I said, if I wanted fanfiction porn, there are tons better written. I bet there’s even better Twilight fanfic porn!

      @Camiele, “nowadays people are REALLY into badly written fiction” – It’s time I get to write my book then. LOL Actually, I was writing a story for a comic… but my comic-book-fan-friend/graphic-designer pal bailed on me.

        @amy, O.O LAME! I hate it when people bail on you. But you’ll find someone to help you out! Anyway, I guess I need to just not complain about it. Just read the stuff I like and ignore the stuff that gives me headaches.
