Greatest Quotes by Famous Geeks
Geeks were talking like Jedis log before George Lucas thought of Star Wars Yoda speak. Stereotypes aside, geeks often are people who have a hard time fitting in to any one particular category. Not surprisingly they can become obsessed with multiple intellectual interests. Anti social only to the degree that many other people don't seem particularly interesting.

Jason SchwartzPublished 7 years ago in GeeksHistory of Movie Reviews Was Written in the Stars
Many years ago, movie reviewing was a shadowy journalistic sidelight, but it has now taken center stage in the digital ethos of America. Thousands of young people now yearn, and even study, to become film critics. There are film critic stars on every medium from You Tube to Facebook. Thousands of others publish reviews online. From Rotten Tomatoes to Metacritic the notion of a professional movie critic has all too often been diluted down to a commodity. Courses are given in universities and online. We have all become pseudo film critics.

Alejandro Guillú MendozaPublished 7 years ago in GeeksWho Were the Real Gangs of New York?
"Ever since I was a child growing up in Lower Manhattan, I was drawn to the stories of old New York. Each day, as I explored the neighborhood streets, I slowly uncovered clues to an extraordinary but relatively unknown period in the City's and our country's history. The early 1860s seemed to overflow with unbelievable stories of the working classes, of the waves of immigrants of all nationalities who crowded the streets and alleyways; stories of the corrupt politicians; and of the legends of the underworld who fought to control it all. Over the years, these stories stayed with me and I dreamt about bringing them to the screen. They were the stories of the testing of America and what the young country stood for. They were the stories of our roots.”
Peter DillPublished 7 years ago in GeeksSuperhero and Action Movies That Actually Feature Powerful Women
There’s massive room for improvement when it comes to seeing women in superhero films that aren’t relegated to being the love interest. Who can forget SNL’s painfully accurate spoof of what just might happen if Marvel ever DID come out with a Black Widow movie (I love you, Scarlett Johansson, I love you so, so much)? But there have been moments - beautiful, brief, glimpses - into what the world could look like if superhero movies would live up to the promise of the likes of Mystique, Scarlet Witch, and Black Widow. Here, you’ll find Film Fish’s list of the ten best superhero and action movies featuring powerful women. When you’re done glorying in the rad femme-ness of it all, head on over to Film Fish’s site for binge-worthy movie lists curated by film buffs instead of some random algorithm. In other words, NO, Netflix, I do NOT want to watch Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws just because my kid sneaked onto my account ONCE and screwed up what you erroneously think my tastes are.
Sarah QuinnPublished 7 years ago in GeeksIs 'Saturday Night Fever' Still Running High?
As long as Norman Wexler (who also wrote Serpico)'s screenplay stays on or near the dance floor, Saturday Night Fever can do no wrong. The rituals, atmosphere and unapologetic promiscuity that define the disco culture of the 70s are captured with the same authenticity and immediacy common to all movies that stand the test of time. John Travolta– having already reached teenage heartthrob status playing Vinnie Barbarino in “Welcome Back Kotter”– was the right pick for Tony Manero. The actor has the smile and presence of a natural movie star and Travolta fuses the audience's attention long before his dazzling dance sequences, which he handles supremely.

Alejandro Guillú MendozaPublished 7 years ago in GeeksWhere Would Darth Vader Go on Vacation?
Different people worry about different things. Families, careers, life goals, yada yada. Occasionally we worry about “trivial” things, too. Why didn’t Obi-Wan remember R2-D2 in A New Hope? Exactly how long did Luke spend training on Dagobah in Empire Strikes Back?There’s lots of things to consider when it comes to Star Wars, and consider them, I do.
