take a geeky look in the mirror

I thoroughly enjoyed this list I found while digging through The Movie Blog archives. Originally published on ToyFare's website, it's called The Geek 100 and if anything, the list is an entertaining read for geeks and non-geeks alike. It's a list of the greatest moments in film, tv, comics and pop culture; according to geeks (it includes the bizarro episode of Star Trek). I had so much fun going through this list; many items on it are moments from some of my favorite films. Check it out and see if you can remember the first time you witnessed these geek-culture-shaping events.

In other news, Apple Computer has announced the ability to download movies from it's online iTunes Store. Currently, only titles from Disney, Miramax, Pixar and Touchstone are available (come on Hollywood, get with the program!). This could potentially be a very big step. The resolution of the iTunes movies and shows is TV quality and it looks great on your computer at full screen. Down the road, users will be able to broadcast their downloaded movies and TV shows wirelessly to their TVs when Apple releases their 'iTV' device next year. You still can't burn them to DVD but I think iTunes users are really going to make this thing take off.

Last but not least, if you want to see a clip... sorry, THE CLIP, from the film Death Of A President; you'll have to look for it for yourself cause the link I had to the Daily Mail was taken down.
