I had the great pleasure of interviewing Joe Cornish, writer and director of Attack the Block at New York Comic Con. It was a roundtable interview and I’m an enormous fan of Attack the Block and have proclaimed it my favorite film of the summer and even film of the year. Attack the Block’s tag line, “Inner City versus Outer Space” sums up everything. It’s like season 4 of The Wire, with a grittier Gremlin and Goonies thrown in for good measure. But this [...]

Sensory overload! NYCC/NYAF is here and I’m beyond excited. It’s my geek Christmas!  The con was open for a few hours on Thursday for press, professionals, VIP and 4-day pass holders. Of course I was there in my dalek shirt trying to see as much as I could without the massive crowd that will attend Friday-Sunday. I’ll be there every damn day so if you’re at New York Comic Con/New York Anime Fest hit me up [...]

We Whovians want all of space and time to know how much we love Doctor Who. So what better way to represent your love for that madman in the box than with this fantastic TARDamask shirt on Threadless. I want to wallpaper my house with this design! It was made by Rosemary Travale and, “This design is inspired by classic damask repeating patterns but with a Doctor Who influenced twist. A classy yet subtle way to show off your sci-fi [...]

With Fringe season 4 starting last week (yay!) and Doctor Who season 6 ending this week (wah!), I knew that I’d have to represent two of my favorite sci-fi shows with nothing less than the universe itself. I include all the information about the tattoo that was available. If you are interested in having me feature your geeky tattoo on a future Tattoo Tuesday feel free to email me at girlgonegeekblog[at]gmail.com. Heather explains why she got this tattoo, “When Voyager [...]

Honestly, I don’t know what else I could possible say to express my deep and undying love for Doctor Who. Perhaps the questionable amount of time I spent in the depths of the internet searching for the best Doctor Who fan art can justify my Whovian status (or so can waiting over 12 hours total to see the cast and and Q&A with The Moff and Co.). I suspect only our beloved blue box could hold [...]

I, like many little girls, absolutely adored Sailor Moon! I had a major crush on Tuxedo Mask, yes I was fully aware he was animated… don’t judge me. I thought Rei/Sailor Mars was kind of bitchy but I still kind of liked her because of that. But I connected more with Lita/Sailor Jupiter because she was a tomboy and I was going through that phase at the time. Not many other little girls I knew went [...]

“I’ve come to the point where I just can’t make a movie without addressing the problem of humanity as part of an ecosystem.” – Hayao Miyazaki Dear Hayao Miyazaki, It all started one afternoon in my uncle’s room on a hot and humid summer day in The Bronx in 1999. My uncle popped Princess Mononoke (Mononoke Hime) in the VCR and my brother, cousin and I sat in awe for 134 minutes. Then I watched it again. [...]

I first discovered Sugar & Vice while I was scouring Etsy for Portal themed jewelry for a previous blog post, ‘27 Pieces of Portal Jewelry‘. Once I saw their Portal Earrings and necklaces, I became practically obsessed with Sugar & Vice ever since. Sarah the crafter and creator of Sugar & Vice was kind enough do this interview with me all the way from the U.K.! Sarah is just as awesome as the jewelry (or should I say jewellery) she [...]

‘Ello! The Labyrinth (and The Dark Crystal) are some of my favorite things. Why you may ask? Well have you seen it before?! If not, I’ll do my best not to judge you and urge, no, tell you to watch it in all it’s Jim Henson, ’80s, David Bowieness fantastical glory. I dedicate this Tattoo Tuesday my little brother Myles who loves this film as well. I would never wish the goblins to take you away Myles, I [...]
