The Fortress of Geek

Jodie Foster doesnt think you should shoot people

So in a recent issue of entertainment weekly, jodie foster was talking about her fear of the audience reacting in the wrong way to her new vigilante flick, "the brave one". Specifically, she was worried people in the theater would cheer when she killed the thugs that beat her boyfriend to death. Am I missing something here? Revel in my confusion...after the jump.

Wallpaper!

Three new wallpapers courtesy of the geek.  Check them out after the jump.

Future Perfect: The Winbox

The First of a new series of articles that looks at future technology concepts.  In this article the Geek looks at the future of PC's.  The realistic future of the PC is probably death and obsolescence. However, a radical restructuring of how systems are designed could give them a chance at surviving the next twenty year. What the Geek proposes is quite radical, and he doubts the industry would ever be willing to take such bold steps, but if you want to see the Geeks vision of future PC’s, check it out after the jump.

More PS3 Stupidity

In yet another stupid move on Sony's part, they let Jack Tretton (President and CEO of Sony America) talk to EGM about the PS3.  While many of his comments were off the wall, two stuck out to the Geek as ridicule worthy.  Check them out after the jump.

Boycott the PS3!

So the Geek is a proud owner of the Xbox 360 and the Wii. But amongst the gaming hardware strewn about the fortress, you will not find a PS3. Simple oversight? I think not. In fact, the Geek demands you boycott the PS3! Now why such a harsh reaction? I’ll explain.

1408

One of the Geek's favorite short stories by Stephen King, "1408", has been recently made into a film.  Check out the trailer after the jump.

Fortress of Geek presents "Film Focus"

The Geek has been thinking about his movie review section, which up till now contained reviews of recent films.  While recent is good, the Geek feels it is equally important to look to the past, especially at films which contain the essence of geek.  Whether due to plot or acting style, dialog or setting, there are many films which just scream geek, and the fortress is going to start bringing them to your attention.  This new type of article will be called "Film Focus", and the first of which can be found in the film section at this very second.  Or the lazy among you can click here.  Check it out, and be prepaired for more Film Focus articles in the future.
