The best geek quotes that have ever existed.

Mean Streets and the Rule of Sound
Martin Scorsese’s “Mean Streets” was released in 1973, and it still feels like one of the best and vivid presentations of street life and culture ever filmed. It was declared a breakthrough by the film critic Pauline Kael (she called it “a triumph of personal filmmaking” ), and I still think it ranks higher as a film than “Raging Bull” or “Goodfellas” . And one of the reasons why I am still hooked on this one has to do with what I heard when I watched it.

MUSK The God Player. Top Story - October 2026.
I have watched this four-hour (!) documentary but it didn't feel like it was four hours. A 10-minute intermission in the middle helped, but the documentary itself was engaging and pulling in the ways I didn't expect.

I watched Backrooms (2026)
According to Internet lore, the Backrooms began on the website 4chan in May 2019. An anonymous post started circulating in a thread-based subsection of 4chan that called for "disquieting images that feel off." Hence, this post: an image of an empty office building with yellowing walls and burgundy carpet. The caption beneath the picture read as followed:

I Grew Up on Tom and Jerry. Only Later Did I Realize What It Really Took.
Why Tom and Jerry Is Hard to Copy On February 10, 1940, an animated short about a cat chasing a mouse opened in American theaters. The test screening drew a weak response. MGM executives considered dropping the project. The short, Puss Gets the Boot , earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short. It also started a series that has lasted more than eighty years.

Did You Ever Hear...?
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? How about the Tale of the Three Brothers? Perhaps the myth of Te Fiti rings a bell? Or maybe you have heard the song of Beren and Lúthien sung into the night sky? Chances are, you have heard at least one of them. What is certain, however, is that you have never heard it alone. Even when by yourself, you have always heard these stories in the company of the characters they were being told to — the same characters, whose own myths you were watching unfold. And thus, the line between fiction, reality, myth and history begins to blur.

The Odyssey: Movie Review
If you ever had any doubts that this movie was going to be anything other than an incredible cinematic achievement, you must have been kidding yourself.

A Computer Steals My Life
I bought my dad a laptop for his 80th birthday. He virtually never used it, so I bought him a tablet and he gave me the laptop back. He likes the tablet, it's easy to use though he's still getting to grips with the concept of wifi, but he likes using it to watch youtube videos and research things via Google. So far so good.
