Crossover Time! Arrow meets Doctor Who

This edit was a forgone conclusion. Once I saw this picture of John Barrowman & Stephen Amell from the CW’s Arrow, I knew the Doctor had to be added. Hope you all enjoy it.

Cosplay Re-Enactment Win!

Posted on June 21, 2015 by CaptZenos Posted in Geekworld Leave a comment

JL5coverAs a kid, one of my favorite comics was the Justice League. And my favorite issue has to be #5, the Showdown between Batman & Guy Gardner. At Justice League headquarters, Gardner confronts Batman again about giving leadership of the team over to Gardner. Batman provokes Gardner to fight him. Gardner removes his power ring, lunges at Batman, and is knocked out by a single punch from the Dark Knight. With Gardner sleeping on the floor and out of the way, they attempt to commence with their meeting.

Back in February of 2013, while searching for images of my All-Time favorite Green Lantern G’nort (in re-enactment picture), I found this picture of a Cosplay reenactment of the One Punch Knock-Out of Guy Gardner by Batman!

Everybody Run! Aunt May’s Got a Gun!

This is how Howard The Duck #3 starts out: Aunt May holding up a tattoo parlor at gunpoint.  And yes, that is Peter Parker’s Aunt May.  Don’t believe me?

 

 

Howard the Duck & Aunt May at Second GeekhoodSo who’s behind this foul act?  The Ringmaster, a nemesis of Howard’s from back in HTD #1, Vol #25.  I love how they keep his history, but I won’t spoil it for you.  Go get your own copy.

While I’m enjoying this new reincarnation of Howard, I do miss a few things.  I still miss his old look, which was more cartoony.  He’s a bit more mellow, but I guess he has grow accustomed to this world he never made.  And I miss the cigar…but I guess he can’t smoke like he did in the 80’s.

I also really miss his best human friend, Beverly Switzler.  I hope we find out what happened to her!

In the meantime, here’s some music to read Howard by.

Enjoy,

The AFOL Husband.

If Disney Princesses Were In Star Wars…Deviant Artist Kudos to pushfighter

Posted on June 18, 2015 by TimeSiren Posted in Deviant Artist Top Pics, Geekworld Leave a comment

jedi_ariel_by_pushfighter-d5sio9sAnd thus starts another MAD idea for Second Geekhood by TimeSiren. In love with many of the talented artists on Deviant Art, I wanted to showcase their amazing talent here on our humble domain in the hopes of bringing some beauty to you, the readers, exposing you to something new AND encouraging everyone to support their efforts by requesting commissions from them. Many Deviant artists supplant their incomes by doing what they love and it is pretty obvious from such incredible pieces that they are accomplishing just that. So enjoy, share among your social networks and throw moola at them once in a while so they can continue to bring us such amazing contributions to fandom!

Our first Deviant Artist up is pushfighter. If you read his journal, it is apparent why he can’t be more prolific, taking care of an elderly, bedridden father, but he is very grateful for his followers and is pushing to be active on DA and social media this year. Drop him a note, tell him you saw him on Second Geekhood and really love his work. Caregivers have it tough, as I well know and even we need someone to care for us once in a while.

A Christopher Lee tribute

Posted on June 17, 2015 by TimeSiren Posted in Geekworld Leave a comment

Christopher-Lee-RIP

No one can tell me which movie, but I will NEVER forget the scene: a dark basement in a black and white film. Christopher Lee as Dracula, brooding as his minion comes in. He waves long fingers at something on the floor and commands the minion to “Get rid of THAT!,” spitting out the words contemptuously. The camera cuts to a young woman dead at his feet, her throat ripped out.

dracula posterTelling people outside my age group that Sir Christopher Lee was MY Count Dracula is tricky. Too old, and they say Bela Lugosi (very old and they say Klaus Kinski) was the King of the Vampires. Too young and they say Frank Langella or Gary Oldman. Every actor who has donned the mantle of the Undead Lord has brought something special and wonderful to the part, but Christopher Lee was, without a doubt, among the greater of them.

For decades now, as my husband and I mourn the passing of every great actor in Hollywood and England, we could always say, “At least Christopher Lee is still alive.” That tradition sadly ended last week as the venerable actor succumbed to heart failure.

Many lovely memories of this great man were shared across the internet last week, from Twitter to Instagram. Going through them, I found so many to be so true.

Professor Steve Chibnall, director of the Cinema And Television History Research Centre at at the university, said in part: “Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were the most recognised faces of Hammer films and now we have lost both of these great actors.”

“Lee was the most disturbingly believable embodiment of Count Dracula, with a chilling screen presence that has never been rivaled. Vampires live beyond death, and the collective memory of Lee’s portrayal of Dracula will be immortal.”

Mark Gatiss of Doctor Who and Sherlock fame, said this of the man on Twitter:

A “Titan of Cinema.” No truer words have ever been spoken.

Rest in Peace, Sir Christopher Lee. You have well earned it.

John Barrowman as superhero

Have you ever wondered what some of the older Science Fiction series would look like if they were made if other countries? Doctor Who made with an American Time Lords with Texan accents. Or Lost in Space made in Turkey. Here is my take on The Greatest American Hero that I would’ve love to watch. The Greatest Scottish Hero  Starring John Barrowman!

For the Love of Spock documentary

Posted on June 9, 2015 by CaptZenos Posted in Geekworld Leave a comment

 

Leonard & Adam Nimoy   Back around Thanksgiving of last year, Leonard Nimoy & his son, Adam, started talking about how the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series would soon be here. They also talked about how there had never been a documentary of Star trek based around the character of Mr. Spock…so they did something about it. Father and son conceived the idea for the film, and Zachary Quinto agreed to narrate it.  

  As talks and negotiations progressed, and as all Trek fans sadly know, on February 27th, 2015 Leonard Nimoy passed away due to end stage COPD. With the show of fan support for Leonard & his family after his passing, Adam has  made the documentary not just about Spock,  but also about his father.

  Adam has continued to work on the project since his fathers passing and is now to the point where he requires funding to do the bulk of the work on the film. Adam is asking for help from us all to complete his father idea of the documentary. So, to that end, he has start a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project. You will have until Wed, Jul 1 2015 7:00 PM EST  to pledge, and support this great tribute the late Leonard Nimoy.
