Fall Schedule Special: Part 1

Submitted on May 14, 2013 - 11:18am

Well loyal readers that time has finally come…renewals and new shows on all the TV networks.

That’s right I’m doing a two-part specially laid out blog dedicated to what’s coming this fall.

I’ve waited until basically every network announced their fall and midseason schedules, and I will break down some of the ones I think will do really well for you and even throw in a trailer or two.

So here we go, starting with the show I think is going to do the best…

The Michael J. Fox Show!

Hey Geeks & Freaks I’m back with your geek update, sorry for the lag, I was on vacation.

So the newest news? Star Wars orchestrator John Williams has been semi-confirmed to be returning to score the next film.

Abrams was asked by a fan during a Berlin appearance concerning the newest Star Trek film if long collaborator Michael Giachinno would be again working with him on his latest flick.

Anti-hero establishment

Submitted on April 3, 2013 - 4:24pm

Justice League fans rejoice? Maybe.

Anyone who is a true fan of the Justice League and has been following the comic book series will be well aware of its anti-hero counterpart Justice League Dark.

Okay so it’s not all anti-heroes but it takes on a more macabre take on good vs evil with good often having a shady background and supernatural powers rather than being an alien or being involved in some laboratory accident.

Yes darker than Batman even.

Time for a kickstart!

Submitted on March 19, 2013 - 1:16pm

I’m going to kickstart this week’s Geek File talking about Kickstarter…or rather Kickstarter for movies. Unless you’ve been living in some cave starting a new society out of toads and bats that you like to call the unholy legion of darkness, then you’ve heard about the recent Kickstarter project involving the Veronica Mars movie (or at least one of your bat generals sonared the news to you).

Does whatever a spider can

Spiderman, Spiderman…can you guess what I’m going to be talking about today?

Ghostbusters 3 is moving towards the animation decision again! Nope, completely wrong.

Earlier Wednesday morning Bloody Disgusting picked up a rumor and reported that Sony had decided to go back to the animation side of things with Ghostbusters 3, which had been suggested back in 2007 for the movie and ended up becoming a video game instead.

Han shot first

Submitted on February 15, 2013 - 1:27pm

I was waiting this week to get you the news out because I wanted to be one of the first to announce this and I had to wait until it was confirmed.

Harrison Ford is officially returning to Star Wars as Han Solo.

How much he will be in the film is yet to be confirmed however with Harrison Ford no matter how small the role he always takes up the full screen.

This comes a few weeks after it was confirmed that Han Solo will have his origin story told in a standalone movie which will be released after the 7th Star Wars film in 2015.

Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try

Submitted on February 6, 2013 - 3:27pm

The internet is literally blowing up (and so is my brain) with news about J.J. Abrams and Star Wars 7, and not necessarily the two together at times.

First off, rumors have been flying around left right and center but Disney and Lucasfilm finally confirmed that there will be standalone Star Wars movies and that they already have two planned.

The three rules: Don't feed them after midnight, don't get them wet and definitely do not remake them

Submitted on January 20, 2013 - 8:58pm

Maybe Hollywood needs three rules when it comes to making or rather remaking films, seeing as they don’t seem to have any original ideas left.

Just on a side rant, I’ve been a writer for the past 15 years and I’ve got more good ideas than I can shake a stick at, and here all these Hollywood top paid writers are getting paid millions of dollars to pen up remakes and adaptions because they can’t be bothered to write their own junk.

Moving on, remakes or reboots are in the works, we’re going to be seeing them hardcore for the next 10 years.

What've they got in there, King Kong?

Submitted on January 13, 2013 - 3:15pm

I don’t know about you geek fans out there, but my very first cinematic geek moment was as an 11 year-old boy in that dark vast theater, clenching the arm rests, gripping into the soft foam and plastic as I heard the ‘Boom, boom, boom’, and watched that glass of water tremble in the SUV cup holder on screen.

And then the T-Rex comes stalking around the two vehicles and the hair on the back of my neck stood up straight.

Don't forget to eat Oscar-O's!

Oscar Fever

Do you usually watch the Oscars? I bet the answer is no.

Well this year you freakin’ should...if my tip off to Family Guy (terrible I know) hasn’t tipped you off then I’ll lay it out.

Seth MacFarlane will take the stage in his debut hosting duties for the Oscars this year.

That means tons of great Seth MacFarlane song and dance, probably tons of Family Guy cameos as well as a definite Ted cameo, and just all out plain hilarity.
