Planetary People

Just as the global media beast was writing off Geek Chic as a bizarre aberration of the Dot Com '90s - hey, having a couple of spare Silicon Valley fueled million in the bank is enough to make even a stable of supermodels overlook a man's collection of Deep Space Nine videos - then here comes a site that ... well, it's not going to make collecting Games Workshop figures sexy again, but it does have geekly in its title.

Just as the global media beast was writing off Geek Chic as a bizarre aberration of the Dot Com '90s - hey, having a couple of spare Silicon Valley fueled million in the bank is enough to make even a stable of supermodels overlook a man's collection of Deep Space Nine videos - then here comes a site that ... well, it's not going to make collecting Games Workshop figures sexy again, but it does have geekly in its title.

And that's enough, in our book, to make Entertainment Geekly the Nest's site for August.

It kind of reminds us of well, us, when we were a little younger. It's colorful, well laid out, and - thankfully - doesn't equate the labours of thinking seriously about SFF as automatically producing serious SFF.

Their tastes are eclectic too - comics, movies, books, DVDs, general rants ... any dainty dish that tickles their fancy gets to make its way in front of the King's nose.

When we checked in they had some nice Farscape reviews like 'The return of Aeryn Sun' by Diana Estigarribia, Jeff Chen's piece entitled 'Pirate Jeff's Comics Cove Aaaargh! There be funny books ahead!', a well written film review of 'Reign of Fire' by Ivan Sian, and an amusing conference report from deep among the throng of forty thousand geeks who attended the Wizard World Chicago con - the latter reported by Matt Springer.

Entertainment Geekly is simple, yet stylish, cheeky yet scores more than a few well-told points among their prose.

These geeks come baring the gifts of their creative scribblings, and damned if we didn't like it!
