Video Friday!!! V-Day Edition

Love is in the with Valentine's Day just around the corner. Some of you might not be ready for it so here are a few suggestions of what to do and not to do to celebrate.

Candy Sushi



I know it's usually chocolate that's given to that special someone, but what makes this so special is it's different so you can tell your honey you think they're special and unique as well as deliciously sweet.

Flowers are nice but make sure you know how the other person feels about them, after all, you wouldn't want this to happen -

Valentine's Day Phobia 

I hear serenading is a popular expression of affection but you have to make sure it's done right. Be sure you can sing well, otherwise these reactions are going to happen to you....

World's Worst Singer



If you're not a strong singer but still want to incorporate music into your plans, get creative and try to put together something like this...

All of the Lights (Cello Cover)



And finally, if you're going to use Valentine's Day to tell that special someone how you really feel, whatever you do, don't do this...

I Love You




Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Review: Wolverine #5.1

WARNING:

This post contains face-melting spoilers.

Read at your face’s risk.

If symptoms continue for more than 4 hours, contact [insertgeekhere].

I'm continuing my Marvel Point One journey this week with Wolverine. Yes, I know that Wolverine wasn't on my original plan, but after last week's disappointing Iron Man, I decided to expand my search. I plan on reading all of the Point One issues and then making a judgment call.


Wolverine #5.1, written by Jason Aaron and drawn by Jefte Palo, jumps off a lot differently than Iron Man did. We get to see Wolverine heading to someone's house, with flowers, when he sees an abandoned truck. He jumps into action, ready to save the innocent. Then we see his girlfriend, Melita, hosting a birthday party in his honor with all of the superhero elite and Deadpool. He crashed....with cheese dip. We also see that Spider-man was left behind at the Avengers mansion. Meanwhile, Wolverine gets caught by some cannibals, brothers called Buford and Boyd, and while they try to decide how to cook him (anyone else flash back to the Hobbit here?), he cuts off one of their hands. Despite his desire to kill them, Logan just rescues the trucker, drops the cannibals off at the police station and gets to Melita just in time to miss his party. We do find out that Logan has been celebrating the wrong birthday all this time. Meanwhile, our cannibals get rescued by a interesting group called The Hand. A fun cliffhanger for the baddies, and Wolverine gets some at the end.


I loved this issue. It gave hints at Wolverine's background but not a crazy amount of detail. It also didn't feel like it was someone writing out a background and forming a story around it. This is a story that new and old readers could enjoy. This truly felt like a jumping on point, which was missing from Iron Man. I started at the beginning of the new story, with some background to catch me up. Now, I want to know who/what The Hand is, and if Logan tangles with them sooner rather than later. Will the cannibals return for vengeance? I want to know about his relationship with Melita. They seem to have a good thing going, which means trouble for them. This story drew me in to this world and connected me with the characters.


Based on Marvel's Point One initiative, I call this a win. I would definitely buy this book again.

Op/Review - Captain America: A Little Help #1

Over the weekend, I was catching up with one of my favorite webcomics, Gutters, written by the awesome Ryan Sohmer and featuring some of the best artists, known and unknown, currently around. There, it was brought to my attention that Marvel had released an eleven page mini-comic, hoping to address the subject of suicide. I found this very intriguing and immediately went to check it out.


Thank you Marvel for completely dropping the ball on this one. You had a great opportunity to reach out to so many people who are struggling, and you proceeded to turn it into a comic about watching Captain America fight an army and a robot. I think it was Hydra. What was that? Is it because the guy, instead of jumping off the building like he originally intended, just barely survived in the aftermath, now he had the will to live? Is it because he touched Cap's sacred shield that he realized there's so much more to live for? Or was it because Captain America gave him a thumbs up? What was the point?


What kills me is the first few pages started out so strongly. It set up all the reasons this guy felt like he needed to end it all. I'm not saying he was right, I just understand where he was coming from. But then, the comic went to pieces. How do you take a subject as serious as taking one's own life and make it about someone else?


They could have fixed this. If they wanted to keep all that fighting in, then there should have been an additional page or two where Captain America talks to the guy, not just gives him a thumbs up from far away. It was pointed out to me that Captain America probably didn't know what the guy was planning, hence only the thumbs up, but considering the guy was stuck on a tiny platform on the remaining part of a roof, surrounded by destruction, couldn't he have been talked to while being rescued by Captain America? See how simple that is? (Seriously, how did the guy get back to his apartment?)


I've been upset with you before, Marvel, but this one is personal and you screwed up. Big Time. I don't know how you can fix it, but I want it fixed. If there is more to the exploration of this topic and the comic, please let me know, because I don't want to be this angry at you, and I'd really like to think you would handle this subject better. 


Captain America: A Little Help #1 was written by Ursiny Dragotta and drawn by Nick Dragotta. You can see the comic here. Take a look and let us know your thoughts on it.

Favorite Superbowl Ads of 2011

Despite our geekiness, the whole IGH team sat down to watch the Superbowl last night. Even discounting the geektastic trailers for Thor and Captain America, there were some great and horrible commercials this year.

Here are some of our favorite commercials:

And here is the creepiest commercial (even though it's an awesome product):

And this one is just weird:

What was your favorite ad from this year?

Another week, another set of craziness!

This past week, we watched with the world as Egypt revolted against their president. Luckily, despite an internet ban, we could follow reports on twitter. GeekGirlDiva wrote a great and touching piece about her perspective of the events we have been witnessing.

Marvel asked us, "Who are the Mystery Men?" No, Ben Stiller isn't back with his infinite rage, it is a new comic series. No details have been released but Newsarama has a pretty good theory. In other Marvel news, their Point One initative started this week with The Invincible Iron Man. You can check out our review here.

DC Comics announced collaboration with The Heroes Initiative on a series of 100 original and unique Justice League of America #50 covers. These will be auctioned off with proceeds supporting The Heroes Initiative's great work. Three covers have been released and you check them out here.

There has been ticket sale mania this week, with San Diego Comic Con tickets selling out yesterday, but still plagued with troubles. New York Comic Con announced that they are adding a 4th day and their tickets are going on sale tomorrow. Which cons are on your schedule this year?

To end this week's recap, here is the commercial that has taken the geek world by storm this week.

Review: Invincible Iron Man #500.1

This post is SPOILER-FILLED so if you are allergic to spoilers,

go read another tasty article on [insertgeekhere].

This week, we got our first taste of Marvel's Point One program with an introduction to Invincible Iron Man. This issue is designed for both hardcore Iron Man fans and newbies. As a Marvel newbie myself, and only knowing the basic story lines, I was excited to give this issue a shot.

This issue starts out with Tony heading into a AA meeting. He gets up to tell his story to sobriety. Through Tony Stark's eyes, we get to see his journey from childhood to adulthood to actually maturing into an adult. Not surprisingly, did you know Tony partied at a young age? We see how Tony embraces the idea of taking responsibility for himself. But then, at the end of the story, we see him get shot down by Pepper and go pick up another girl.

As for a jumping on point, this issue seems to give a decent overview if you know something about the story. It actually felt like I was reading a clip show. As a new reader of the series, I felt like some back story was explained but even more was just hinted at. Unless you know who Pepper is, their conversation at the end just doesn't make sense. You see Rhodes as Iron Man and War Machine but his name isn't mentioned. I know Captain America died in the Civil War but the new readers they are targeting don't.

I did learn some new things I didn't know. It was interesting to see Tony as homeless and strung out. However, I just don't think this character is for me. He does provide a dramatic story but it's just too much drama for me.

I'm not sure this issue is a great way to gain new readers, but that could be as much about the story than how its told. I probably won't continue reading this but I will keep trying the Point One issues.


What did you think of this issue?

Video Friday!!!

It's that time again...


McBain - The Movie???


The awesome folks at CollegeHumor have done it again. Putting together all the McBain clips from The Simpsons, they have created what looks to be a great action flick.

I want this movie made now! 

A Brief History of Hip Hop

This guy is amazing! I don't know how Eklips does it, and I think some of the magic would disappear if I did, I just know I want him to keep doing what he does.


3 Minutes





I think I nearly died from the sheer amounts of geeky awesomeness. This stars two of my favorite dancers, Harry Shum Jr. (Glee) and Stephen "tWitch" Boss (SYTYCD), in action roles... oh, and did I mention lightsabers? Yeah, they're in there too. All it needed was a soundtrack from a beloved 80's cartoon and I would have gone to nerd heaven. 


A History of Rap





I have to admit I was a little surprised at how good a job they did. I expected JT to pull it off, but Jimmy Fallon surprised me. As great as the guys sounded, I think I liked the dancing and facial expressions even more, They looked like they had a ball doing it.


To finish things off, as you know, yesterday was Chinese New Year. It is the Year of the Rabbit. To celebrate, the ever elusive @Getsuyobi (yes, he's still around trying to defend his masculinity) found this little gem...


39 Degrees North: 兔年 Year of the Rabbit

Art Spotlight

As you can see, I'm no artist (Microsoft Paint is my medium). However, I am frequently jealous of artists who can create beautiful works. At conventions, I spend a ridiculous amount of time wandering through Artist Alley, looking at everything displayed and chatting up the creator. Since everyday I see some wonderful piece of art posted online, I decided to share that creativity with you. I plan on this being a monthly piece for now.


If you found something you want us to feature, email us at insertgeekhere@gmail.com.



This is one of the few times it's OK to judge a book by its cover. The intensity of this matches the Savior 28 story exactly and is a great way for this series to start. This cover, drawn by Mike Cavallaro, is one of my favorite pieces of comic art, not to mention one of my favorite books.



This is a Batgirl that was drawn by Mike Maihack during a meeting. If he keeps turning out awesome art like this, I want him in more meetings like that!



The best part of working at IGN? Getting to see Jim Mahfood's Geek Crossover mural, of course. This is just a small portion of its awesomeness, and you can see more of it here. Yes, I have a soft spot for Robocop.

Marvel's Point One: where should I start?

So as I was reading Fantastic Four #587, I saw this ad:

I was excited about Marvel: Point One when they announced in November, but since then, I kinda forgot about it. It just seemed so far off! I am hopeful that I can break into this world without too much confusion. No more waiting, it starts today with Invincible Iron Man.

Now, I need to decide what to read. I wish I could read them all, but my budget doesn't allow for that. So far, I'm definitely going to read Amazing Spider-man, Invincible Iron Man, Deadpool and Avengers. I'm torn on getting Captain America and Uncanny X-Men.

For all of my fellow Marvel newbies, I promise to post reviews about how effective Point One is. Is there any other recommendations for us from more experienced Marvel readers?

Work in Comics? No Brainer!

Yesterday @Wilderowens wrote a response to Jim Mroczkowski of iFanboy fame's post about how he'd respond if the call came in, asking him if he wanted to write comics for a few years. I found his reaction interesting, especially since it's one I can identify with.... to a degree.

I've thought about it. I've come up with a couple of characters and even wrote an X-Men screenplay as part of a high school project (it was several years before the movies came out). It was really awful. Just really laughably terrible. Needless to say, I abandoned the idea of working in comics shortly after that.


Great thing about growing up and joining the workforce is learning there are a lot of different jobs that help create a finished product. I might not be the greatest at writing dialogue and I'm not a great artist, but I'm good with ideas, I'm great with understanding the feel of different characters, and I know the difference between strong, solid storytelling vs. something that feels rushed and incomprehensible.


I'd love to be an editor, but I think where I'd accomplish the most would be in helping the brand expand into other mediums like movies or television as well as merchandising. One of the things I would focus on is getting more females interested in buying collectibles. I'm a collector but I don't like to  purchase some of the female action figures or specialty items because they are so sexualized, it's a little ridiculous. I want to be able to display these items in my home without making anyone, including myself, uncomfortable. 


Better yet, can someone explain to me why Halloween costumes are "sexy" versions of certain characters but that particular character is already very sexy or instead of pulling from the tons of awesome and well known female outfits, we're given sexy versions of the males? I'm not saying all this to come across as a crazy feminist or or a prude or anything like that, but I feel women are still being excluded, and I'm full of ideas on how to change that. Basically, I want to convince more females to spend the amounts of money I've spent, so the brands I love can not only continue for years to come, but also continue to grow in good healthy ways. There's also a part of me that would love to be the person to green light or veto bad movie ideas but that's a completely different story.


So yes, I would definitely work in comics but not necessarily in the front lines. As awesome as it would be to have tons of fans and recognition, I love the industry so much I don't need those things. All that matters to me is helping it be the best it can be.

My Response (sorta) to Who Wants to Work in Comics?

Jim Mroczkowski over at iFanboy wrote a great post today about who wants to work in the comic industry. Specifically, after tweeting this:

wife got new budgeting software, is reacting like I would if Marvel called and said, "Hey, want to write Spider-Man for a couple years?"

He realized that writing Spider-Man might be horrible. He goes on to discuss how fans are always saying how they want to write/draw a book and be the next big comic breakout star. That the world's constant scrutiny is tremendous pressure for writers and artists. Well Jim (I hope I can call you Jim), I agree with you. It must be hard to be a writer or artist and deal with the crap that we, as fans and media outlets, put out there. Where you lost me is that I do want to work in comics. Just not as a writer or an artist.



I'm sure I'm not the only fan that wants to work in the industry but not on the creative side. Yet, whenever anyone talks about breaking into comics, us normals are ignored. I'm afraid that we are forgetting about all the people that make it possible for comics to come out and reach the public. Don't forget about them because without them, Dan Slott wouldn't be writing for us.

Jim, who knows what careers are available for you in comics. You never know what you could do, so don't discount it. I am an event planner, and I would love the chance to work in comics. Yes, I'm a fan but who cares? The closest I have come is this blog, on the fringes. So close and still so much fun! So next time someone tells you "I want to work in comics," keep an open mind. They might surprise you with their career path.

Sunday Links

Microsoft Paint is fun!

We are starting a new segment at [insertgeekhere] called Sunday Links. Each week, I'll provide you with some of the best stuff I have found on the web. A lot of these links are things that we have posted on our Facebook or Twitter pages, so if you want a sneak peek, go follow us there!

This week's had two huge comic news stories:

First off was the announcement that Wizard Magazine was no more. They closed their doors on their print magazine while they get ready to move to an digital format. Wizard seems to be concentrating completely on their convention circuit at this time. With the announcement came posts about sadness, remembering all the people that got their start at Wizard and some juicy gossip about the closing.

Next big story for the week was the highly talked about death of a member of the Fantastic Four! We covered it in full, including an obituary and the review of Fantastic Four #587. iFanboy also had a great article about how the media spoiled it for the world.

MTV Geek brought me some laughs this week with their very naughty article,

10 Comic Book Characters Who Aren't Actually Wearing Any Clothes.

Geek to Me featured Geek∙Lee∙Tist∙ on his blog, to talk about how cliquey the geek community has gotten. It is a truly powerful article that deserves attention from all of us.

DC announced their upcoming, rock the universe event, Flashpoint. It will be comprised of a lot of one-shots and minis over the entire universe but will be centered on the character, The Flash. The Beat has a great write up about the few details released here.

To end things on a fun note,@SyFy released this Sharktopus plushie pic on twitter in anticipation of the dvd release. While I haven't seen the film yet, I want one!

See you next week!

The Guardian Project Starts Today!

The Guardian Project comes to life today at the NHL All Star game, on the Versus Network at 4 pm ET. This will be the kick-off of the largest group of new superheroes in comic history. Each team has their very own hero, with unique abilities. With 30 original superheroes, Stan Lee has truly mastered a huge undertaking. Today, we get to see what the very first mission is that the Guardians undertake to protect the world.

My Hometown Team!

Over the past few weeks, they have been releasing photos of their heroes on the Guardian Project Facebook page. Video clips of the heroes have also been seen on the Versus network. Each of these Guardians have been designed by the great Neal Adams.

This new universe keeps sounding better and better, and I am getting more and more excited. Go check out The Guardian Project now!

Peace Out Wizard Magazine!

W is for the wonder you created in me.

I is for the information you gave.

Z is for being so darn zazzy (at least for a while).

A is for anticipation I had each month waiting for you.

R is for continually renewing my interest in comics when I struggled with being a teenaged girl who loved comics but felt like I was a freak for doing so.

D is for being done

As you all know by now, Wizard Magazine announced this past week that it was ceasing publication immediately. It was also shutting down ToyFare Magazine as well. Fans and industry professionals have reacted to this with mixed emotions. Some feel this was a long time coming and are glad it’s done, others are sad to see it gone. I find myself conflicted on how I feel about it.

I didn’t get into comics until I was in high school. My dad used to collect, so they were around me, but he never let me read them. I don’t even know how it happened but a girlfriend got me interested, and then my addiction took off. I collected everything I could; I was a back issue queen, but when I couldn’t afford to get them or I wanted to know more about an event I wasn’t collecting, I turned to Wizard.

Back then, Wizard was exciting because there weren’t any other publications that dealt with comics. Wizard was fricking awesome! I know there are a lot of people who disliked it for a variety of reasons, but for someone who was just discovering this world, Wizard was great because I got to learn more about different artists and writers and different comics. I learned about character histories and in a weird way, it made me feel less alone, because I really struggled with being a female geek. Other than my one friend, I didn’t have anyone to geek out with, not even guy friends, though they thought it was pretty cool. Wizard kept me in touch with the community.

As I got older, money became a big factor, and I had to stop collecting everything, including Wizard, because the prices were too high and my interest started waning as plots got more convoluted and weird and ridiculous, but it always made me smile to see a new issue of Wizard in the bookstores.

I don’t like what I have heard about how Wizard handled shutting down everything, and I really don’t know if they are going to make it as an online publication, but I’m going to mourn the loss of one of the few magazines that were out there for comic lovers and think of them fondly as I remember their almost perfect movie castings, the fan decorated envelopes, and my particular favorite, the Halloween Costume Contest. Man, I always planned on entering. I guess some things are not meant to be.

Thanks for the memories!

See what the industry is saying here and see what other online outlets are saying here and here, and go here to see the official statement of plans to come.

All New and Improved Video Friday!!!

After taking a break last week and mulling things over (and who doesn't like a good mulling), it's been decided that we're retooling Musical Friday and making it Video Friday instead. This doesn't mean we won't showcase musical videos we come across, but there are so many great non-musical videos out there we want to be able to include them too.


For starters, a much needed dose of Lego violence -





Special shout out to the geeks group on Facebook where this video was thrown up. Not to brag, but our group contains some of the best geeks around. They always share awesome stuff.


Next up is something that made me feel a little silly for including it, but this is something we've all done with our friends, and it's nice to see celebrities goofing off and being silly, especially when it's to The Backstreet Boys. So here's Selena Gomez and The Scene "covering" I Want It That Way.





Hmmm, now that I think of it, maybe I should have put the Lego violence after this one, for anyone who dislikes her. Oh well.


This is one of the cutest and most creative videos I've watched all week. Disney Pixar's Up if it had been made in the '60s.





I can definitely see this as a movie. Can't you?


Finally, a theme song for all the Nerdy Girls out there -





A special thanks to Jill Pantozzi, who introduced Amy Lee Radigan to the geeks group. This is Amy Lee's first youtube video, so I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us.


This concludes our first Video Friday. Let us know what you think and if you see any great videos you want us to share, send them to us at insertgeekhere@gmail.com.

Glee - The Substitute

The Substitute is like someone opened a window and delicious fresh air came in to revive the slowly stagnating show. Yeah, I know that was very flowery, but seriously, this episode was desperately needed. It was a return of the Glee of old.


The basic plot is Principal Figgins gets sick, thanks to a particularly "virulent strain of monkey flu," allowing Sue to use the extremely broad clauses in her contract to get herself into the Principal's seat. Will ends up getting sick himself, and after hallucinating the Glee club as children, he goes home sick, leaving the club to fend for themselves. Naturally, Rachel tries to take over, and Kurt, in an attempt to stop this, gets the popular substitute teacher, Holly Holiday, to take over Mr. Shue's Glee duties.

Can't handle the cuteness!

Everyone, including Sue Sylvester, falls in love with Holly Holiday, played with perfection by Gwyneth Paltrow. Everyone that is except Will, who ends up losing his job to Holly, because Sue just really hates him and his beautiful hair. However, it quickly becomes apparent that Holly is out of her depths because she is not used to dealing with the hard stuff, so Will gets his job back pretty quickly, and also learns how to loosen up a little bit with the Glee club.


That's the A-plot. The B-plots involve Mercedes feeling left out as Kurt pursues his new friendship with Blaine and as a way to deal, stages a Norma Rae type of protest when Principal Sue decides to ban tater tots. What I want to know is who in their right minds would ban tater tots?! They're tiny and delicious. 

Viva La Tots!!!

The other more interesting plot is while Will is very sick he turns to his ex-wife, Terri, for tender, loving care. They have an interesting exchange about how Terri preferred Will while he was weak, and Terri doesn't disagree. In fact, she agrees with him and reveals she's been going to therapy and taking meds. Will is initially a jerk to Terri because he didn't really want her there, but after she gave him his favorite sick movie to watch, he soften up and was much nicer to her, which unfortunately led to the "tender and loving" part of the care. He knows it was a mistake but Terri takes it as a sign they were getting back together, and when Will rejects her (in front of Holly), she gets pissed. Very pissed. Like you know she's going to do something messed up pissed. Kudos to Jessalyn Gilsig! She doesn't get nearly enough credit for playing Terri. Terri is an anxious, manipulative, crazy, vindictive, insecure, unsure, yet oddly caring person. She has so many layers, most of them awful, yet Jessalyn manages to give her some likability. That's extremely hard to do. Anyway, one can't help but feel that Terri will be back soon to cause many more problems for Will, and I can't wait to see how she does it.


Now let's talked Gwyneth and the music. There was a lot of concern and confusion when word about Paltrow's involvement hit the news. For some reason, a lot of people seem to dislike her and didn't know if she could sing. I won't touch the first part other to say I've never had a problem with her, but I was excited to hear her sing. I've known for a long time she had pipes because she did that odd movie, Duets, with her father, Bruce Paltrow, some years ago and showed off how well she could sing. Many people will probably agree that this is a career highlight for Gwyneth because not only was she great as Holly Holiday, but she also managed to sway some of the haters into liking her. She really owned the role. I can't wait for when she comes back.

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

The music was stellar for this episode. There's a great song and dance scene with Matt Morrison and Harry Shum, Jr. to "Make 'Em Laugh" from Singin' in the Rain. But it was Gwyneth who stole the show. They made her work! She covers (too briefly) "Conjunction Junction" from Schoolhouse Rock, does "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" from Chicago with Lea Michele, a fantastic mash-up of Rihanna's "Umbrella" and "Singin' in the Rain" with Matt and the cast, but the standout performance goes to her rendition of Cee-Lo Green's "Forget You." Yes, it's the clean version, but that doesn't matter because it's so awesome you can't help but play it over and over again. It's gotten such good reviews, Cee-Lo and Gwyneth are going to be recording a new version of it. If there's a Glee song worth buying, it's this one.

Make 'Em Laugh

This was one of the strongest episodes to date. The bullying of Kurt was not forgotten, there was a scene between him and Karofsky where he threatened Kurt's life if he told anyone about the kiss, but it took a backseat to everything else. It was a good thing because it set us up for the next episode and it gave us a break from how heavy the show had become. This is probably my favorite episode of season two so far. We'll see how the rest of the season goes. Til then... here's Gwyneth Paltrow and the cast of Glee with Cee-Lo Green's "Forget You." Adieu!
