What About the Voice of Geddy Lee?

Archaeology! Ancient City Found in Mexico! Village Discovered Near Stonehenge! Police to Reunite! (At the f*&%ing Grammys. Now I have to watch the Grammys. Someone kill me.)

Warren Ellis subjects us all to shares an excerpt from Jeff Lint Steve Aylett's surreal parody comic "The Caterer." SMOOTHING THE CHEEK OF REALITY HAS ITS DANGERS!

Hannah links to the poem "Library" by Albert Goldbarth, which turns out to be awesome.

I have discovered that, along with those annoying ads along the side, I have been given the power of polls. Bwah-hah-hah-hah!

Here's the thing. I am, by most objective measures, a fairly geeky person. But I find that many things which are considered more or less core geek loves drive me up the wall. Perhaps you are also somewhat geeky, and encounter this same phenomenenonon. This poll is for you!

Star Trek: TOS is a wondrous experience of phasers and claustrophobic hallways. The rest is silly.

Pan's Labyrinth is neato but The Devil's Backbone was special too. I'm still confused how the first part of a shared-world trilogy can get so little attention and part two can come along and be lauded so mightily without mentioning the first.

I'm loosey-goosey on Heroes. Every episode has something I like, but it has gaps and the "story" is mish-mashed.

I tried to hate SMG and failed miserably, becoming smitten by that which I expected to repulse me. My geekdom is incarnate on many levels and Buffy (and the whole damn Scooby gang) is certainly one of them. Someday I'll watch Angel.

Harry Potter doesn't do it for me. I've tried and failed there too.

The first Evil Dead is lovely. I'm glad they didn't make comedy sequels...oh wait...

Serenity and what I've seen of Firefly are worth seeking out the rest of Firefly.

Victoria Beckham is overrated.

X-files and Dario Argento are still underrated, in my little world.

Supernatural has grown on me suddenly, as has dried fruit. Perhaps it has even grown on me like a dried fruit.

I think I plead and / or feign ignorance on the rest, unless Kill Bill counts as a Kung Fu movie.

I must confess that I have not yet seen The Devil's Backbone, which was why I scrupulously failed to mention it in my SH review. As soon as I have some means of watching DVDs I plan to get my hands on it.

You must! It is the AWESOME!

I plan to. And while I watch it I will ponder why it is that the Hispanic world is making all the best films nowadays.

No kidding. I wonder about the awesome movies that are being made there that we never even hear about.
