Film Geek Out! (Now with 300 Percent More Chalk!)

Here’s a bunch of random shit that gets my geek juices flowing—and thanks to that phrase, this is probably the grossest sentence I’ve ever written. Anyway:

28 Weeks Later gets a poster. (Um, above.)

Grindhouse is officially rated R, despite rumors it was gonna be NC-17.

• The best show on TV, Battlestar Galactica, gets more episodes.

• A pretty kickass trailer for Day Watch, the sequel to the bewildering and/or awesome Night Watch, is out. It’s cool-looking. It also seems to be about a piece of chalk. How bewildering. And… awesome? (Ah, no. Just bewildering.)

• Kotaku has an interesting feature up about how the god-awful flick Reign Over Me prominently features the PS2 game Shadow of the Colossus. Awesome game. The movie makes me want to slash my wrists with the nearest even vaguely sharp instrument.

Bryan Singer is teaming up with Tom Cruise for a movie about killin’ Hitler.

• Newsrama wonders if Harry Potter’s gonna venture into comic books, since the final book’s coming out on July 21.

• The Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic is excellent. Read it.
