Geek This Week: Seasonal Serenity
Plus: Macy's modifies, alternate Aslan and fun with Fincher
Total Nerdgasm - The Nerdist: Year in Review special airs at 9 p.m. Christmas Eve on BBC America. Everyone's favorite actor to fantasy-cast in prospective movies - that'd be Nathan Fillion - stops in to discuss Firefly fandom and being on Wil Wheaton's wife's list of celebrities she's allowed to cheat with. Would hooking Captain Mal up with your spouse be like going from bad to 'verse?
Hey Verne, It's Macy's! -
If you're in New York this season, be sure to check out Macy's new
window display, which employs glasses-free 3-D and interactive touch
pads in service of a steampunk design inspired by the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Our wish is for designer Paul Olszewski to decorate our house.
Screwy Lewis - C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia gets turned inside out by Timelords and space troopers in this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special, "The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe." We'd be Lion if we said we weren't excited, but Witch scene will be our favorite? Aslan only knows...
Dudgeon and Dragon - Too cool for Yule? If the sights and sounds of the season send you into psychosis, David Fincher has your back. Set at Christmas but centering on assault, dismemberment, body modification, computer hacking and the music of Nine Inch Nails, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo proudly positions itself as the feel-bad movie of the holidays. Hope you have a big fireplace for all that coal in your stocking.
