50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

underrated sci-fi movies and the geek group

  • Film

One of my favorite topics when I was writing Geek in Review was the Guilty Pleasures series. It gave me an excuse to watch movies without feeling like I was slacking off, and always generated entertaining discussions (and more than a few suggestions for other movies to use in future columns.)

When I checked in on The Geek Group at Propeller this morning, I saw something similar: Ten Truly Underrated Sci-Fi Movies.

Take a look, and let me know what you think. I wouldn’t have included Aeon Flux, which tried real hard but couldn’t close the deal, but the rest of them are great, especially Primer, which never gets the respect it deserves.

I think Groups are where Propeller is going to set itself apart from the rest of the social news world, so I really want to build and nurture the Geek group. I think it’s a fantastic resource and if there’s enough participation, could become a wonderful place for geeks to gather and goof off – I already check in several times a day, even when I’m not doing admin work. In support of that effort, I’m going to close comments on this post, so if you’re interested in commenting and stuff, you’ll do it there. (Bonus: the Conversations are a lot of fun, too. D&D geeks need to check out What’s the most audacious thing you’ve gotten away with in D&D?)
