    UCI Explores Philip K. Dick in OC

    Flickr user NikiSublimeDick head on a train.​Six years ago, OC Weekly wrote about what happened when one of the greatest minds in sci-fi made plastic-land U.S.A. his home. Yes, Orange County drove Philip K. Dick mildly insane (can you blame the man?), but it also inspired some of his best work. UC ... More >>

    If your TV is on the fritz, you didn't pay your cable/satellite bill or you're just one of those Communists who does not watch the tube, you may not have heard there is a new Star Trek movie opening today and, according to one Weekly Trekker at least, it's a solid effort.But some die-hards do have s ...

    Without a doubt the funniest words ever strung together in the history of televised election coverage. At least it was Anderson Cooper handling the interview, as he's hip enough to have an idea of how ridiculous it was. I disagree with him saying it's like Star Trek, though—it's more like Princ ...

    Long Beach Trek-tacular

    As much as I enjoy Star Trek, and always have, I can't say I was that enthused by the idea of “Star Trek: The Tour.” What could they show me that I haven't seen? Could it possibly top the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas? Do I really want to pay top dollar to see a bunch of multicolored spandex ... More >>

    I don't have one.

Well, everyone swears up and down it's super-awesome, but none of the clips I've ... More >>

    Question: How Many Geeks Can You Cram into a Hall?

    Answer: ALL of them. That is, all of them if the geeks in question are geeked about anime/manga and the hall in question is a cavernous corner of the Anaheim Convention Center. Organizers of Anime Expo 2006 announced today that their largest-ever exhibit hall--which will be filled with its most-eve ... More >>
