The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Shall we begin?

WEDNESDAY

So, a bit late, but damn those Twitter reactions for the Django Unchained advanced screening are quite good. I want the movie right now!

Considering I bet Django Unchained is quite violent, it’s curious that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the one that makes people sick. The reason? The 48 fps technology induces migraines and nausea. Meh, if you are that delicate, watch the normal version I guess. I downloaded the trailer converted to the 48 fps format to see the effects for myself. The result? It looks freaking beautiful. Bet it will look even better on 3D!

Anyway, Entertainment Weekly also joined the bandwagon of Hobbit covers and gave us these beauties:

Although, Andy Serkis is promoting The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, he has time to talk about Dawn of the Planet of the Apes:

The interesting thing now will be how Caesar operates in this world–because of the virus that hits at the end of the first movie–and how Caesar brings an accord between the apes and the surviving humans and that’s going to be interesting where we take that.

Skyfall becomes UK’s highest grossing movie! It beat down Avatar! Something somewhere beat Avatar! Yay!

Huh, apparently there will be a sequel to Tron: Legacy. I thought the movie wasn’t as successful as Disney wanted? Oh well.

Here’s some unseen The Dark Knight concept art. It is very creepy… I love it, but not for a Batman movie.

Also, what Joel Schumacher had to say about Nolan’s Batman:

I think what’s very interesting about Batman and how brilliant Chris Nolan is is, if you look at the last Batman, ours were at a much simpler time. Our job was to entertain the whole family. To make it fun and sell a lot of toys. It was a franchise. The last one is really about what we’re going through, the extraordinary gap between the haves and the have-nots.

Ok, I get that. But you still almost killed the franchise~

Apparently there will be a reunion of the cast of old and new X-Men movies. Yup, they want characters like Halle Berry’s Storm or James Marsden’s Cyclops in alternate dystopic future on X-Men: Days of Future Past. Yeah, I wasn’t much into those characters though; I think one had a too big role, and the other too little. But considering what they want them for, sure, why not!

Yep, we have George Takei at Archie Comics! Specifically at Kevin Keller No. 6. Takei, of course, is delighted.

It’s reflecting the diversity of America, and embracing that diversity as a positive. There I am not only as a gay man but as an Asian-American gay man and I’m idolized by Kevin. Him and his gang travel to a sci-fi convention. How much more American can you be?

Oh my~
