August 12, 2011 3:00 pm I think AMC is having a hard time dealing with success overall. The situation with Mad Men was ridiculous and I respect creator Matt Weiner for holding out until they agreed to not cut actors, include more ads, etc.

I agree, seems more like money call. I just hope this isn't a sign that Walking Dead is running into issues like HBO's Rome did with despite being a great show, it was just too expensive to make. Those special fx are amazing, some of the best looking zombies I've seen on the screen. Plus anytime you either completely empty out an area or have to use a large soundstage to get the same effect, it has to cost some serious $$$. Apocalypses are expensive!

I'm just concerned with this latest drama that money is getting in the way of the integrity of AMC's shows. 
July 27, 2011 6:25 pm Not to be a Negative Nancy, but why are we all acting like there are not fake nerds out there? Can a geeky girl be sexy? Yes. But there are quite a number of girls who attend Comic Con in skimpy costumes not to be empowered or pay tribue to their favorite superheroes: They do it to get the attention of the mostly male attendee base.

Now, it's one thing if there is some creativity, but to show up in nothing but a bra, underwear and knee high boots when others have worked really hard to make kick ass costumes kind of sucks. I'm all for feeling confortable in your own skin, but we don't need to see all of it, you know? There was one woman who was NAKED claiming she was Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones (I'd post the link, but it totally NSFW).  

Should we embrace new geeks? Yes. Can a girl be sexy and have major nerd knowledge? Of course! But should we assume that just because someone dresses up that they're down with geek culture? No. I'm trying really hard to not be a hater but I ran into too many poorly dressed bubbleheads this year including one in a silver bikini and furry boots who kept trying to hit me with a light sabre, thinking she was funny.
