Here in the US, people are now embracing nerd culture all thanks to shows like The Big Bang Theory. In the UK, one can argue The IT Crowd (starring Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade) did the same for them. Both comedy series have nerds and geeks at center stage, and both have become immensely popular. The It Crowd has even reached a loyal following in the US. The question is: Which geeky show is better? This can be analyzed by looking at the plots, characters, and humor of both shows.

Myths of the Past Resurrected in our Present
I have to say that when I was young, I was thrilled when the ancient stories that I read from Bullfinch's book on Greek Mythology came to life on the "Big Screen." I was also disappointed in the same instant, while I watched Clash of the Titans. One of the greatest heroic epics of the ancient realm altered to accommodate so many who didn't know the story. Maybe the masses couldn't believe in a young man falling for the damsel in distress unless she had a rival suitor? The jealous mother with the reigning Gods on Mount Olympus, who according to any Greek myth wasn't even a Goddess. Thetis was, is, and always shall be a Poseidon's "Queen of the Sea." Don't get me wrong, I loved Maggie Smith in that role and because of that movie I only see Sir Lawrence Olivia and Harry Hamlin as Zeus and his son Perseus.

Jack's All Folks: What Does The End Of Wolverine Mean For Hugh Jackman?
Is there life after Logan? Hugh Jackman is officially hanging up his adamantium skeleton after 16 years of playing the grizzly menace Wolverine. We have followed him across the Canadian Rockies, to Alkali Lake, the Statue of Liberty, and even a trip back to 1973, so sorry if we are a little sentimental in laying Jackmanverse to rest. I mean c'mon, he was so good in his role that they even kept him for the sequels, prequels, reboots and remakes — it is hard to picture anyone else in the role of Logan, and I feel sorry for the poor son of a bitch who has to try *sticks middle claw up*.
