Wow. Check out this steampunk version of Odysseus and the cyclops, created by filmmaker Arthur Mirzoyan. The video shows the trailer, a brief making-of, and finally, the short film in its entirety. As a nerdy part-time literature professor, I’ve got to say, this little film absolutely thrills me. Totally showing this to my class on Wednesday.

I recommended loading up the film in its entirety first, otherwise it’ll be choppy as hell. Took me a good 15 minutes, but it was totally worth it.

Bonus: Take a look at his rendering and interpretation of Icarus. I am definitely keeping an eye on this guy and his work.

About this Blog

What's it mean to be a geek? Wikipedia defines a geek as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual" and describes "one with low social skills, regardless of intelligence." Geekadelphia is a bunch of geeks blogging (and drawing) about all-that-is-geek in the City of Brotherly Love and beyond. We don't claim to be peculiar, odd, overly intellectual, lacking in social skills, hermits, hackers, or neophiliacs. We don't call everyone "n00bs" or "pwn" people on a daily basis. We've never watched Beauty & The Geek or Beat The Geeks when they were on television, though we did enjoy Freaks & Geeks. Who didn't? We do, however, claim to love video games, computers, pointless-inventions, high budget over-the-top action movies, useless gadgets, comic books, South Park, WoW, Family Guy, Star Wars, and consequently, episodes of South Park and Family Guy that make fun of WoW and Star Wars. Our goal? To talk about geeky things that interest us and highlight events, stores, and people in Philadelphia who, like us, are geeky. Welcome to Geekadelphia. Enjoy your stay... n00b.
