Scott Pilgrim VS. the World: Sneak Preview Passes!

July 28th, 2010 geekstar Posted in Events, Geeky, Design, Web, Giggles, SHOUT OUT! 9 Comments »

scott pilgrim vs the world

The film, Scott Pilgrim VS. the World, centers around Scott Pilgrim (played by Michael Cera), a 22-year-old bass guitarist who plays in the garage band Sex Bob-omb. Pilgrim finally meets the girl of his dreams (literally), Ramona Flowers, but in order to date her he must battle her seven evil exes. He must face an increasingly vicious rogues’ gallery from her past—from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsome identical twins.

Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) brings this cult-classic comic to the big screen this August 13. However, Geekstar has advanced screening passes for the film’s sneak preview Thursday, August 12 at 7:30 PM at the Loews Waterfront Theatre. If you are interested in a pass (admits 2), leave a comment or personal anecdote about a theme from the movie…comic books, hipsters, indie rock music, Michael Cera, evil love drama, hair dye gone bad, etc…I’ll send passes out to the most creative posts until I run out! Be sure to leave your email address (won’t be published), so I can contact you if you win! Be creative and bonus points for funny.

THE “DEEP SKY URBAN STAR PARTY” WILL BRING TELESCOPES, GOOGLE’S STAR

MAP ENGINEERS AND CHAMBER MUSIC INTO LAWRENCEVILLE’S EMPTY LESLIE PARK POOL.

Date/Time: Sunday July 25, 2010 (No rain date) 8-11 pm

Location: Leslie Park Pool, 4700 Butler Street, Lawrenceville

Fee: FREE

DeepSkyUrbanStarParty

On Sunday July 25th, from 8-11pm, the decommissioned community swimming pool at 4700 Butler St. in Lawrenceville will again thrum with activity—and not a drop of water.

The site will host Deep Sky Urban Star Party, a free, hands-on astronomy extravaganza for all ages organized by the Leslie Park Pool Collective. The one-night event is being sponsored by Google’s Pittsburgh office.

The Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh will help guests of all ages gaze heavenward through one of their magnificent professional grade telescopes. Participating astronomers expect viewing conditions to be excellent for seeing Saturn, Mars, Venus and perhaps Mercury, star clusters and nebula.

Deep Sky kicks off at dusk with a string chamber concert of ethereal works by Lawrenceville resident Jonathan Cordle (of popular group “Mother Sun”) and friends.

So, when you create an account at youtube.com, the site will start to recommend videos for you to view based off of past searches, views, etc.

I logged into my account today and was amused by my recommendations. Earlier today, it was ‘Robot Fail’ but now, all eight are a perfect fit! This is so me.

Salvador Dali

French Surrealism

Beavis and Butthead and their rock video commentaries (HILARIOUS!)

Oh my gosh, I love water slides. Who wants to go to Sandcastle???

Dubs and Donks? Sign me up!

The Muscle Hustle

May 18th, 2009 geekstar Posted in Fave Sites & Finds, Geeky, Design, Web, Giggles No Comments »

I recently saw this video on boingboing.net, one of my favorite websites. I wouldn’t be a good little Geekstar if I didn’t share “Muscle Madness” with you! Cross your fingers that this gaming masterpiece gets released in the USA!

  • Best opening credits ever! Muscle asterisms, rainbows, and sheep!
  • Best theme music ever! Haunting little girl’s voice…over ADD inducing beats!
  • Best character ever! Muscle dude sporting a green speedo, top hat, and biting a rose!


But there’s nothing like the real thing!:
