Not all fans of cosplay are bad. In fact, it is fandom that gave birth to cosplay in the first place and hopefully that cycle of creativity will never end. But there are some people who push things too far. For the sake of argument, we’ll call him “That Guy”.

In recent years, many companies are now releasing previews, or “teasers”, of their Super Bowl commercials in the two- to three-week period before the Big Day. What is different this year is the decidedly geek flavor added to many of the commercials. Maybe geeks really are taking over the world.

The Doctor Who Fan Orchestra is a group of musically inclined Doctor Who fans who have come together to celebrate the music of their favorite show by collaborating on recordings of some of the key themes composed by Murray Gold.

I received the entire Harry Potter 8-movie set as a Christmas gift from my husband, and I admitted a crazy little piece of truth: I hadn’t seen the last movie yet. I know, that’s crazy. But, well, somewhere along the way, my devotion to the most amazing world I’d ever known had just fallen off.

I love Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; it has some of the funniest and well-written dialogue ever to be seen. I particularly loved the 1981 BBC show and I got to thinking, what if they re-made the TV show? This is who I’d like to see play Douglas Adams’s zany characters if the TV show were ever re-made.

My mom loves the Stephanie Plum series, but was slightly horrified when the movie, One For The Money, was announced because a) she greatly dislikes Katherine Heigl and thinks she’d be a horrible Stephanie Plum and b) she doesn’t think the men cast for Ranger and Morelli are right.

I find that there is a lot more to it than a bunch of high school kids trying to find their identity, their voice, or acceptance from their peers — it has a really good message that I think could really be spread around a little.

Have your Batman, take your Spider-Man, and love your Superman — just leave me Captain Planet. While making the environmentally conscious cartoon from the ’90s into a live action movie has been my dream for some time, I fear it will take a turn for cheesy.

I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Eve. But every year around this time, I can’t help but get swept up in the excitement for what is to come in the next year. So in no particular order of time or release date (because my mind doesn’t work that logically), here’s a brief rundown of what I’m looking forward to most in 2012.

In the second part of Sharing for the Holidays, I’ll be sharing a manga/anime that is near and dear to my heart: One Piece.
