Trekkies, or Trekkers – I’m not quite certain of the difference here. Do the different factions battle it out with dramatic music playing? Seriously, I’ve heard both terms on numerous occasions and cannot weed out the truth of what each means. In any case, geeks by whatever name may be losing the annual Star Trek convention they’ve come to know and love for the past decade. ... read more |

What better way to start off a new column than by using one of the most popular people around Cinema Blend: William Shatner. Some of our staff’s love of The Shat is so widespread and well known that restraining orders have been issued. But how do you make Shatner better? How about by having him serenade George Lucas along with a Stormtrooper kickline? ... read more |

He may be “just a geek,” but that doesn’t mean Wil Wheaton is one dimensional. The actor-turned-writer has been an active blogger for years, and readers of that blog (one of the best examples of good blogging in my opinion) know just how deep Wil Wheaton can be. The blog has turned into two books in the past, Dancing Barefoot, and Just A Geek. Now Wil has put together a third book that became available in the last week: The Happiest Days of our Lives. ... read more |
