Fellow blogger, geek and really good friend of mine Hugh Casey has a fantastic site for those who have a fine appreciation of sexy geeks. PrettyGeek.net features various photographs of geeks in nerdtastic outfits ranging from the infamous Princes Leia slave girl bikini to pirates. If it’s a part of geek culture it’s probably going to make its way onto this blog. There’s nothing naughty about this site and is all around work safe, which for some I guess is a bit of a let-down. But hey, naked geeks isn’t what PrettyGeek.net is about. It is in fact all about showing the masses that geeks aren’t all a bunch of unwashed, unkempt, uncouth, socially inept freaks that live in their parent’s basement. Many can be pretty damned swank -and- frigging hot.

The opening is tonight from 6PM to 9PM and runs until April 30th. Original artwork as well as other merchandise will be on sale also.

Here’s something for all you hardcore Watchman fans – Nite Owl Dark Roast Coffee. Yes, you read that right and it’s an actual product tied into the movie, apparently a world’s first for coffee. It’s the brainchild of the film’s on-set photographer Clay Enos, and is produced by Organic Coffee Cartel.

For about $20.00 you can buy 10 ounce of this fanboy fuel. But you better hurry ’cause only (?) 10,000 cans will be produced as a one-time limited-edition run, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to charity.

The one part omitted from the film adaptation of The Watchmen is the subplot about the fictional comic book called Tales of the Black Freighter, which scenes appear throughout the Watchman issues. The story in the story is an allegory for the overall theme of the plot, but is more than able to stand on its own. So it’s no surprise that Warner Bros. is going to offer it as a stand-alone animated film to be released on DVD on March 24th. And from the looks of this trailer that premiered at MTV.com they are not changing much of the story, which is very good.

If you’re a fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles this is a pretty swank treat. If you’re only familiar with the candy-coated cartoons then you should get schooled and read these.

A full-length feature film with Hugh Jackman portraying Wolverine, running around F’ing shit up whilst shirtless for the most part. Nerd girls (and some boys I would suspect) are all a flitter.

For those not in the know:

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE claws its way into theaters May, 2009.

I think the subject says it all, so I’ll just shut the hell up and let you watch the video.

Scenes from the 11th annual New York Chocolate Show, which combines high fashion and chocolate. This year’s theme… superheroes.

I hear the faint sound of nerd’s brains exploding as they realize that two of their greatest loves have been combined into one big geeky kink.

J.J. Abrams loves layered stories and plots, and his new series Fringe is no exception. His viral marketing monkeys have been busy trying to get all of the ARG materials up online, including the newly opened site for fictitious conglomerate Massive Dynamic. The fan site FringeTelevision.com has published some of the new comics, which are prequels to the TV series. There’s a new music video for Fringe, featuring Ror-Shak and their cover of The Cure’s A Forest. And as if that’s not enough, there’s Glowing Monkeys. You’re guess is as good as mine on that one.

So once more Mr. Abrams you pull the strings to the geek world and we dance for your pleasure.
