Wanna Go to Avatarland?
It looks like the success of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter hasn’t gone unnoticed by others in Hollywood, because now James Cameron is teaming up with Disney to bring Pandora, the alien world from Avatar, to life at Walt Disney World in Florida. Read more »
Comings And Goings
It was with great regret I heard yesterday of the passing of artist Jon D’Agostino, and we at ForeverGeek wish to express our condolences to his family and friends. As an artist who has worked in the industry since the days of Timely Comics, Jon D’Agostino has contributed immeasurably to the medium, helping to enthrall generations of comics’ fans. He also contributed to a title that I confess has become a secret favourite of mine, that being Sonic The Hedgehog! I know I am way too old for this title, but it’s fun, a little like Captain Carrot but without all the terrible jokes. I have confessed before that I Read more »
Want to Learn a New Language? Try Na'vi.
Last week, the first ever opera in Klingon was held at The Hague. Language enthusiasts can’t help but get excited about something like that, even though the idea of learning a “fake” language may seem silly to some. (Think about it though – is there really such a thing as a fake language?) Needless to say, Star Trek fans are absolutely delighted about this development. I suppose that even those who don’t know Klingon will want to see the opera should it be shown again. Before you decide to learn Klingon now, though, you might want to know that there is another “exotic” language that you can pick up: Na’vi. Read more »
Move over zombies, I can see a new fad!
It would be an understatement to say that mankind has had a fascination with gods for quite for quite some time, but it really seems to have come to the fore recently. Read more »
Family Values at its worst
The previous series showed how the Crossed are twisted in their minds, but nothing I had seen so far so clearly showed the devastating impact on a victims loved ones. I really felt for her, yet somehow felt it was a form of mercy. Read more »
The Avatar home video decision
To buy or not to buy? Fox is releasing James Cameron’s Avatar on DVD and Blu-ray April 22nd. Fans of the movie will be tempted to buy it then — it’s a nice little environmental tie-in, as the 22nd is also Earth Day. But take note: all you’re getting for your MSRP of $29.98 (DVD) or $39.99 (Blu-ray) is the movie. That’s it. No extras, no behind-the-scenes features, making-of docs, not even a trailer or a commentary track. It’s just the movie. I suppose it’s somehow appropriate that the first blockbuster movie to get mainstream audiences to pay $17 a ticket is equally pricy when it arrives on home video. Read more »
Avatar Craze: Want To Be A Na'vi? Learn The Language and Look Like One!
I was able to watch the movie Avatar around 2 weeks ago when it was fresh from the movie oven and I have to say, it’s probably one of the best movies I’ve watched so far. Admit it, I bet you either said, “I want to be a Na’vi!” out aloud, or thought of it secretly if you’re still hiding your geekiness, hehe. And since I play World of Warcraft, there were just so many things from the movie that could be related to the game! From the land mounts to the flying mounts, and some of the places like the floating mountain (Hello, Nagrand!). The movie was definitely an Read more »
State of the Multiverse 23
When all the characters seem jaded in attitude, it is a nice surprise that as a reader, I do not feel the same way. Ellis seems to have a handle on mercenary attitudes, twisted with displays of compassion that only become apparent later. Read more »
