Guest Geeks: Jonathan Gould

By 3 Comments

I’m pleased to announce a new feature here on Geek Notes that you’ll be seeing from time to time. It’s Michael Delegates Work! Er, wait. No, that’s probably not a good title. It’s called Guest Geeks! (Guest Geeks? Is that a good title? I’m bad at titles. Let’s just stick with that for now.) Every once in a while I’ll be posting an article from a fellow geek that they’ve written exclusively for Geek Notes in exchange for the safe return of their loved ones purely for your enjoyment!
Without further yammering, it’s time for me to kick my feet up and turn things over to the very first Guest Geek post. Please welcome author and geek Jonathan Gould…

Look, if you have any sense of fun in you at all, just go see this movie.

WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!?! Did this movie just– OH MY GOD!

That’s a summary of what went through my mind during much of Kingsman: The Secret Service, and I mean that in a very good way, because holy shit, this movie was fucking insane and I loved every single minute of it. SEE IT! [Read more…]

Season 2, Episode 18:
“A Clockwork Nebari”
***1/2 out of *****

“It’s going to be more real THAN real. It’s going to be super-3D Smell-O-Vision in Sensurround!”

It’s our first new Nebari sighting since Chiana’s introduction, and now they’re swarming Moya, injecting people’s optic nerves with pacifying drugs, trying to take over the galaxy, and just plain making all of us terribly uncomfortable. [Read more…]

Chapter 13

Everyone with triskaidekaphobia may sit this one out.
Okay, so I really just like to say “triskaidekaphobia.”

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head that you just can’t seem to get rid of unless you jump overboard, swim through a minefield, and drown yourself? Then you’ll be able to relate to the events in the next chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

Fire Walk With Improv

But let me back up. If you’ve read this blog long enough, you know I love Twin Peaks.

Snohomish High School, a.k.a. the school they used when filming Fire Walk With Me). You may also know that I like improv comedy. So when I heard about Seattle improv comedy theater Unexpected Productions putting on a show celebrating Twin Peaks, I grabbed a ticket faster than a one-eyed lady can put up silent drape-runners.
