[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAEkuVgt6Aw] So last night when Therese and I went to buy our midnight premier tickets for Star Trek we didn’t realize that the film was getting a Wednesday night premier. What was meant to be a thirty minute excursion to Tempe Marketplace then turned into an all night affair. But […]
My (Open) Letter to NBC; RE: Hannibals’ Ceuf/Œuf
By now, you should know that we love Hannibal here at Nerdophiles. Although Sam keeps up with the recaps, both Jane and I are avid watchers of the show. Now some of you may not know this, but I am actually a huge francophile. I am working at a French […]
An Open Letter to the DC 101 Guys
At WonderCon 2013 this past weekend, the Senior Vice President of Marketing for DC John Cunningham and writer Scott Lobdell got together for a panel called ‘DC 101.’ It was described as a different kind of comic book panel. It would cater to people who weren’t habitual comic readers and […]
Btooom!: Explosions, More Explosions, and…?
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEV16SObPZY] Anime set in a virtual reality world aren’t new: take series like .hack//SIGN, Sword Art Online, and Accel World, for example. The characters are taken from the comfort of the “real world” and placed into the game space itself. A death of a character, once a meaningless hurdle, is […]
Pebble is the Coolest Watch Ever
Imagine a watch that connects to your phone via Bluetooth. A watch that can control your music, track how many miles you have run or biked, tells you the weather; a watch where you can view your text messages and e-mails, where you can see when someone’s calling, and where […]
The Impossible Girl: Who is Clara Oswald?
“Run, you clever boy. And remember.” With just a week left until the mid-season premiere of Doctor Who, Easter Saturday can’t come quickly enough. The autumn episodes of series 7 saw the tearful farewell of the Ponds, but not three months later Whovians were thrust back into the world of […]
Star Trek’s New Trailer Reminiscent of Avengers
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yhz4A5BCMAA] A newly released trailer for Star Trek gives us a look into the oncoming summer blockbuster of Star Trek: Into Darkness. As Sam pointed out in her article earlier this year, there were a few similarities we saw in Benedict Cumberbatch’s John Harrison to Tom Hiddleston’s Loki Laufeyson. I […]
Psycho-Pass: A Lesson in Morality
It doesn’t matter if you’re into anime or not. Psycho-Pass should be something you watch. Although I can’t say it’ll ever reach Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z proportions in terms of westernization, Psycho-Pass doesn’t need that. This is an anime worth watching for its themes, its content, and its […]
The Future of Nintendo: Just a Slump or Worthy of Concern?
Since the launch of the 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo has struggled to retain its hold on game market dominance, previously made possible by its massively popular Wii and DS systems. The last thing the company’s floundering sales needed was the recent $30.2 million patent infringement lawsuit on the glasses-free […]
Hannibal Terrorizes the Small Screen in April
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t973h4HfNHA] The first time I encountered Dr. Hannibal Lecter I was twelve years old. I used to be a very frequent visitor to the on-post library at Ft. Drum where I lived at the time. It was just about a mile or so from my house and I would walk […]
