At the movies

If you’re interested in movies and you like my stuff, you should be checking out the Cinemarati blog, where I make a couple of posts a week about movie-related goodness. Those posts aren’t always Xer or geek related, but sometimes they are, if only obliquely, like the thing I just posted about the fake trailer for the film The Shining, which is a great example of how geeks take pop culture and make it their own. I have no idea who created the fake trailer, or what generational zeitgeist that person might identify with, but anyone who would make a fake trailer for a real movie that manages to be funny while commenting on Hollywood culture is by definition a geek.
