The Geekiest thing I've seen...today
Found on aspecialthing.com's Mr. Show board, here is an incredible amount of geekosity courtesy of the L.A. Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl:
A live concert event featuring full orchestra and choir performing music from the greatest video games, plus laser and light sequences, video clips, live characters, and a special segment dedicated to retro arcade classics! Games scheduled to be included are:
Halo
Metal Gear Solid
Warcraft
Tron
Myst
Medal of Honor
Tomb Raider
Advent Rising
Sonic The Hedgehog
HeadHunter
Beyond Good & Evil
Now, if you're paying for the dollar bench seats and I can maybe, sort of see that. But when you're paying within the $40-90 range to hear the L.A. Philharmonic play the theme for "Sonic the Fucking Hedgehog" I don't know if there's any hope for you. I wish they made it clear what the retro arcade themes will be played. After all, if people knew we'd get some of the sweet sounds of "Frogger" filling the Bowl I'm sure they could sell more tickets.
It's the mainstreaming of geekery. I don't think I like the rest of the world as fucked-up and pop culture starved as all the other weirdos out there who are Dungeon Masters, Spider-Man collectors and (worst of all) those who have comic book blogs.
In less depressing news, Mark Evanier saw Sin City and, even though he made it clear it's not his type of movie, he liked it. I agree with him about people leaving the movie before the credits are over. To me, if you leave before the credits are over you haven't seen the entire movie and with tickets prices these days why not get the maximum amount of movie you can can?
Carrie Fisher will reveal all about Star Wars set. I can only hope that we finally find out the truth on the rumors that George Lucas likes to have Ewoks bathe him in the blood of French babies (he says it "gives him ideas for those great prequels").
With that delightful image in your head I bid you good day.
