Geek Bytes: Flickr-ing Four, Transformers Tantalization and Too Much 300!
Filed under: Action, Fandom, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
Geek news I found while pondering the hole in the toe of my best dress socks:- You know the Flickr site with all those Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer wedding pictures? It has been updated yet again with some pictures of the Invisible Woman in action. Well, sort of in action. In poses which suggest action will be added via the magic of special effects. Ignore that man behind the
curtainwind machine. - Here's a site in a language you probably can't read with a few pictures of some "Transformers movie preview" action figures. Thanks to CBR for bringing this one to attention.
- You know the deal Marvel signed with Lionsgate for animated features? The one which brought us the two Ultimate Avengers flicks? Their third movie is on the way; you can expect an animated Iron Man flick to land on January 23rd, according to Comics Continuum.
- Jane Wyatt, known to geeks worldwide as the mother of Dr. Spock from the the original Trek series, has passed away. Unfortunately, none of her family will mourn her passing, as Vulcans experience no emotion.
- I have found no new images from 300, which I firmly believe to be an impossibility after the last two weeks of daily updates. If you know of any which I missed, drop them off in the comments section so we can get our Frank Miller fix, okay?

*sigh*.. I know I'm not just being a geek here, but an anal geek... but unless you were referring to the baby doctor, you might have meant MR Spock?
sorry :-(

"Unfortunately, none of her family will mourn her passing, as Vulcans experience no emotion." Wow- that's kinda of in bad taste. If it bends, it's funny; if it breaks, it's not...

The Fantastic Four movie pictures are very well done. I hope the movie will be longer than the last with more character development. It was a good movie.
Cannot wait to see it.
Pagan you are correct. Good catch

Hey dude, It's Doctor Spock, not Mister. It's a small detail we are willing to forgive from an extremely busy person as yourself. But to claim no one will mourn her just cause Vulcans feel no emotions is cold. Vulcans do feel emotions, they just simply suppress them. Besides, she's not entirely Vulcan, she is human,(that's what makes Spock half-human) which means her family will sob for her lost.
You see, I know what you meant as a writer to throw in her association with Star Trek, but those litle facts are so crucial to us fans. I could only imagine when the new Indy 4 comes out you will say: At last Harrinson Ford is going to play Mister Jones for the fourth time!!" People will shave your pubic hair and correct you- It's Doctor Jones, you freak!! Or perhaps Mister Evil will fight Doctor Powers. Or maybe Mister Who... You get my point.

This is to Gio, it IS Mr. Spock, not Dr. Benjamin Spock. The vulcan didn't have a first name that humans could even pronounce, much less spell. Get your facts straight before you go on a tiraid.
