What is truly fun in life is having a friend who will geek out with you. I’m on break between semesters, so currently I have even more free time than normal; Emily is on hiatus between gigs, so has a large amount of free time as well. Take the two of us, our immense free time (and lack of money), and multiply by the number of sheer unadulterated geeky things we can come up with… you have a lot of Nerd Adventures to look forward to.

Femme Fatales Premiere Coverage… OMG! James Gunn!
23 MayYou may recall that last week AFC ran my interview with several of the ladies from Cinemax’s Femme Fatales– as a capper to that interview I was asked to cover the season two premiere. The write-up for that is up on AFC. This would be my first on-site press gig as the interviewer (remember, for Spartacus, I took the photos) and would also be attending the screening and after-party… so I tracked down someone to be my assistant for this event- my friend Phil Xenidis (you might know him better as rock god, Phil X formerly of Powder, currently playing with his band The Drills and with so many other awesome artists). As I laughed with a mutual friend the other day- last year, he was playing with Bon Jovi, now he’s my bitch. Ha! But in all seriousness- I have to give Phil a lot of love for his help. He took some great photos for me and it was great to have a friend to hang out with. Continue reading
Buy Me A Pint with Galactic Credits — Stewart’s Favorite Fictional Drinking Buddies
17 MayNow, I preface this by saying there are some mild spoilers, so be warned, dear reader…
First off, I’m not one of those guys who goes out regularly, let alone with relatives or friends on a weekend to hammer down a few beers and have some fun. Not that I have crap relatives or friends to hang out with for options, its just not my style. However, on the rare occasion when I do, I find myself often being the designated driver, which is like the equivalent of being third string quarterback in a football team, and by that I mean, sitting bored out of my ass taking care of drunken fools. So with that thought in mind, I decided to form my own league of fictional characters I would enjoy going to a bar with and not worry about being the only sober one. Continue reading
The Avengers (or… OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG! SQUEEEEEEEE! ILOVEJOSSWHEDON!)
5 MaySo… I was not one of the souls out late Thursday night for a midnight screening of this summers first Blockbuster- The Avengers, instead I was lounging in bed watching an episode of a favorite series (in case you were wondering- “Leverage“). But I did run out early Friday morning to catch a showing!
My initial reaction was documented on twitter– Not going to write a review… maybe. But just home from The Avengers. AMAZING. LOVED IT! this is why Joss is my master now. Continue reading
mini-Nerdsplosion- This Means War
3 MayOld news now, but I had the opportunity to see a screening of the recent Reese Witherspoon flick, This Means War, and review it for AFC. This mini post is just to link you to it… Though, I will say- for the record- I enjoyed this film immensely. I didn’t go into it with high expectations, but that didn’t stop me from having a good time. If you haven’t seen it, I do recommend it. I mean… don’t shell out $20 for it. Go to the cheap theater or wait for DVD/streaming. Unless you prefer the big fancy screens. Eh… do whatever you want. 😛
mini-Nerdsplosion- Kevin Smith edition
5 AprOne of the events I have covered fro AFC at this point was the Kevin Smith- Live From Behind “screening”. You can read the actual write-up of it on AFC’s page. Pretty much I covered every important aspect plus my reactions to the event in that write-up. I would like to state for the record- at this time, I still have not seem any episodes of Comic Book Men, nor do I plan to.
