Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition

Posted in Battlestar galactica, Geekery with tags , on October 23, 2010 by Geek Tv

Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition World Premiere Weekend: Oct. 22-24, 2010 at Seattle�s EMP|SFM
New traveling exhibition to feature three full-size spaceships, costumes and props from the original and reimagined series

SEATTLE—Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum (EMP|SFM) is proud to announce its latest exhibition, Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition. Organized by EMP|SFM and in partnership with Universal Cable Productions and Syfy, Battlestar Galactica features three stunning, full-size prop spaceships, iconic costumes, new exhibition films, music and other props from the original and reimagined series. Battlestar Galactica opens to the public Oct. 23, 2010 and runs through March 4, 2012 at EMP|SFM in Seattle.

“The museum is honored to be organizing the first exhibition devoted to both series,” said Brooks Peck, Curator of Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition. “Battlestar Galactica is one of those rare science fiction shows that appeals to a wide range of people because it combines high adventure with very personal drama. It explores what it means to be human, and has a lot of fun doing so.”

Opening weekend (Oct. 22-24, 2010) will include museum member and public events with some of Battlestar Galactica’s most popularpersonalities.

“Over its four season run on Syfy, Battlestar Galactica became an iconic series that not only entertained, but fulfilled the promise of all great science fiction. It provoked us into examining our world and ourselves through its politically-charged, socially-relevant, religious and technological themes,” said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President, Original Programming, Syfy, and Co-head, Original Content, Universal Cable Productions. “It is an honor for us to partner with EMP|SFM in this one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience BSG in an up-close and personal way.”

The exhibition will be presented in the Milestones Gallery on EMP’s third level. Battlestar Galactica will become a traveling exhibition in 2012 after its premiere at EMP|SFM.

About Battlestar Galactica: The Exhibition:

Battlestar Galactica is an epic drama of interstellar proportions. The last vestiges of humanity flee a cybernetic Cylon horde, traversing the stars in search of the fabled promised land of Earth. The setting of Battlestar Galactica may be rife with spaceships and inhuman adversaries, but ultimately the show is a complex narrative about how we attempt to retain our humanity under desperate circumstances. The series acts as a science-fictional lens through which to examine difficult questions that we may encounter in our own lives.

Exhibition sections:

Creation of Battlestar Galactica

Explores the genesis of the two versions of the show (1978 and 2003) and introduces the story and central conflicts.

The Search

Humans and Cylons
This section presents the major characters from the shows including: Commander Adama, Starbuck, Boomer, Number Six and the Imperious Leader. Costumes are featured, along with props and concept art.

Exhibition specifics:

  • Three full-size (30-feet long) prop spaceships:

Cakes that makes you wish you had that cool a cake on your birthday!

Posted in Battlestar galactica, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Doctor who, Geek literature, Geekery, Joss Whedon/Whedonverse, Stargate, Supernatural, True Blood with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 17, 2010 by Geek Tv

1. The Impala from Supernatural

Sam& Dean's badass car. I don't want to eat it, I want to drive it.

2. Lord of the Rings 

One cake to rule them all.
I really love the Boromir Ryan text

3.Battlestar Galactica

Fraking Awesome

4. Hobbit Hole

In a hole in a cake there lived a Hobbit. Then ate the cake for second breakfast

5. Hogwarts

If this person isn't patient then I don't know who is. Accio cake!

6. The TARDIS

I don't know if this will take you through time and space but it would surely score you awesomeness points if you presented it at your party! Unless you invited the school bullies. Which I can't see why you would.

7. Dalek Cake Goodness

RU-MI-NATE

8. Stargate

THIS is the cake I want. Want want want want. OMGWTFBBQ

9. Buffy

This is a fantastic cake to bring to a Twitard party. LMAO. Seriously now this cake is fantastic. I love the crisp details and colours!

10. True Blood

This is an awesome cake to make for the next True Blood Season Premiere party. I suggest you choose Red Velvet cake filling!

Geeky Wedding Cakes that makes you wish you could get married again. Or soon :P

Posted in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Doctor who, Geekery, Joss Whedon/Whedonverse with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 17, 2010 by Geek Tv

I have been planning to write this post since forever. I’ve been attacked with morning sickness, general headcolds, extreme frustration towards my job and several other stuff that could keep me moaning for ages but it is now time to make this (and the following) post come true!

Enjoy!

1. Game Over

I actually had this cake topper on my wedding cake. Lacking the Playstation, giant flat screen and red bull cans of course but I still had them all back home in RL size – minus the Red bull which you can replace by Ice tea cans and Milko bottles. I find it kinda silly that it is a PS3 console with an Xbox game on screen but the dude might as well have the Xbox on the other side of the TV, much like my hubby has hooked a PS3, a Wii and his Desktop PC on our flat screen 😛

You can get one here

2. Zombies

Till death do us apart? I think not. “Till Zombies eat your brains out and I have to kill you with a chainsaw” sounds more like it! Special Kudos to the geeky bride cause it takes guts (lol) to have this as your cake. I hope it’s not filled with brains.

3. Tim Burton

This is my geekgasm cakes.  I actually have Jack& Sally on the Swirly mountain figures and could easily use them as a cake topper but it didn’t even occur to me during planning my wedding. See my dad was pretty bad in his health back then (luckily he’s fine now) and we had to have a rushed wedding just in case. If I did it now it would be all geek/victorian/steampunk themed. ALL TOGETHER!
I really love the Burtonesque feeling of these two cakes. I bet they tasted like awesomeness would.

4. E-QUA-TE!

Dalek Cakes? Seriously? Man this is so twisted and fantastic it makes me wanna bounce ^^

5. Wii-Ntendo

I bet this would be my hubby’s choice of a topper since he’s a Nintendo nerd fanboy. I don’t think I’d look that good as a Mii though.

6.  Leia and Han Solo

I don’t really need to comment on this one. I just need to go Awwwwwww

7. Buffy& Angel

I’m more a Spike/Buffy shipper but this cake is so well made it makes me forget that at times. I really wish Buffy was holding a stake though…

8. Super Mario& Peach

Now that I think about it again THIS would be my hubby’s choice for a cake although I’d probably veto it since I really don’t do blond and pink 😛 The cake is so amazing though. I especially love the piranha plants!

9. Steampunk

This is a steampunk cake and its topper (if I recall corectly) I can really imagine the couple dancing their first dance to “Sleep Isabella” by Abney Park :B

10. Futurama

I love this one although I’d probably use Bender instead of Fry. LOL

11. Alien

LAst but not least is the Alien cake. A sculpting work (in fraking fondant!!) that could shame HR Giger himself. Seriously, the dude (or dudette) who made this cake is highly skilled and right down awesome. I personally LOATHE the “Alien” franchise not for any other reason than that I watched it very young and it gave me plenty of nightmares/made me scream my head off in a full theater *dies of embarassment* I should probably attempt to watch the films again though. I’m not really squeamish…

Battlestar Galactica Merchandise

Posted in Battlestar galactica, Geekery, Merchandise/Gadgets with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 17, 2010 by Geek Tv

It’s true that the beginning of the week really belong to True Blood but to be honest I have been kind of hooked on BSG again and had 2 marathons in the past few days. So instead of the promised screenshots (put the blame on the misplaced flash drive of mine :P) of TB here is a list of BSG merchandise!

Insignia Pins

Are you lucky enough that conventions happen near where you live? Do you like cosplaying anyway? Do you like hoarding geeky stuff? Well these babies are just for you then! Battlestar Galactica Insignia pins. I want them all 😮

BSG sticker

This is a fantastic sticker. I want one for my laptop. Oh wait, at that price and shipping I’ll just order it O_O 😀

Officers pin

I was planning on buying a messenger bag so I was looking up for pins and patches. This is a very nice one with an affordable price 😀 Wee!

Number Six Costume

Yeah. If I looked as hot as Tricia Helfer I’d also wear such dresses. Here’s to you skinny ones 😛 (I’m more of a Cally package :P)

Personalized Artisan Dog Tags

I’ve never been a fan of dogtags. That is the usual dogtags. Gimme polygon dogtags and I’m your puppy. Especially when they can be engraved with my name and a number of my choice. Yeah… Just put my phone number on lmao

“How To Spot A Cylon” Poster

Frak me, this should be an essential school poster 😛

Cylon Toaster

Well, apart from being an awesome pun, if Sheldon Cooper recommends it then it has to be good 😛

Cylon evolution poster

This is for all the Darwin geeks out there XD

Cylon Target Practice poster

Aww come on, you know you want one 😛

BSG propaganda posters

Look! Their corners are cut ^____^

and last but not least…

Daddy’s Little Cylon Onesie

God I hope the shipping is not very much on this one XD

Couple announces wife’s pregnancy Star Wars Style

Posted in Geek Films, Geekery with tags , , , , , , , on August 12, 2010 by Geek Tv

Couples expecting a baby have often come up with amusing ways to announce their joyous news to the rest of the family. But if the couple happens to be huge Star Wars geeks, then are we completely surprised if they add a little Force to the announcement to make the baby message even more fun? No – not at all.

YouTube contributors Jennifer and Jeff recently had some wonderful news to pass along to the family and the world. And since Jeff is a major Star Wars fan, they decided to post their baby news via an edited movie clip from Star Wars – A New Hope.

Overall the Star Wars Baby News Clip is cute if not a little on the creepy side. But the irony of the movie clip is the couple is expecting twins. So naturally the Internet community is already screaming that they name the children Luke and Leia. Too bad the couple denies it 😛

Superman Saves Family. In Real Life!

Posted in Comics, Geekery with tags , , , , , , on August 10, 2010 by Geek Tv

A struggling family facing foreclosure has stumbled upon what is considered to be the Holy Grail of comic books in their basement – a fortuitous find that could fetch upwards of a quarter million dollars at auction.

A copy of Action Comics No. 1, the first in which Superman ever appeared, was discovered as they went about the painful task of packing up a home that had been in the family since at least the 1950s. The couple, who live in the South with their children, asked to remain anonymous.

“The bank was about ready to foreclose,” said Vincent Zurzolo, co-owner of ComicConnect.com and Metropolis Comics and Collectibles in New York. “Literally, this family was in tears. The family home was going to be lost and they’re devastated. They can’t figure out a way out of this. They start packing things up. They go into the basement and start sifting through boxes – trying to find packing boxes – and they stumble on eight or nine comic books.”

Most of the comic books in the box were worth between $10 and $30 but one – dated June 1938 and depicting the Man of Steel lifting a car above his head – was extremely rare. That issue, which originally sold for 10 cents, is considered to have ushered in the age of the superhero.

“It’s a tremendous piece of American pop culture history,” Zurzolo said. The couple learned online that ComicConnect.com had brokered the record-breaking sales of Action No. 1 copies for $1 million in February and then $1.5 million one month later. They immediately texted a cell phone picture to the firm’s co-owner, Stephen Fishler.

“You couldn’t have asked for a happier ending,” Zurzolo said. “Superman saved the day.”

Check these out they’re awesome! I must admit I am a bit disappointed at the lack of Dr. Who from the chart but oh well 😛

By the way I’m finishing the 3rd season of Big Bang Theory soon so I’ll be up to date to cover it when it resumes :3
