It's Official, I'm a Geek

I like the neat, almost spartan look to it, much different from my office, which by neccessity, has to double as my toyroom. The STREETFIGHTER poster is very cool too!

Is that the December issue or January issue of Geek??

I like the mag, too and now subscribe to it.

the logans run framed prop gun is sweet!! i love the way you framed it. how did you ever find that?

It was on Ebay, it was used 3 times during the series, it was the murder weapon in the episode "The Crypt". It was also used by the Dad from Land of the Lost in "Judas Goat". It wasn't expensive either.

The STREETFIGHTER poster is very cool too!

Thanks, I worship Sonny Chiba, he was the reason I took up martial arts. The poster was a gift from my wonderful wife, it's slogan is "If you've got to fight --FIGHT DIRTY", I love it.

I think it's January, there are two covers, one has Rob Zombie.

I'm a big fan of Sonny too. As much as I enjoy Hong Kong martial arts films from that era, Japan approached the genre from a somewhat different angle, and Sonny made a lot of very cool films during that period. And that poster's artwork and text are a classic example of 70's exploitation, it's one of my favourites.

I haven't checked but I think it might be their typo.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Japanese martial arts films of that era. I think they look different from the HK releases not only because Japanese film making was more sophisiticated but because of the differences in Karate and Kung Fu.

I always found Kung Fu can lend itself to the camera better in some ways, Karate (especially Okinawan) is a little more abrupt and to the point. I still don't know many kicks.
