Back when I was in college at the dawn of the 21st century, Christian films were just starting to explode onto the scene. Sure, religious-themed films have always been around to some extent, but it's been just under twenty years since the era of the "Hey, we're just as cool as Hollywood...no, seriously, we are!" types of Christian films began hitting the market. You know, the kind of films that cause churches and ministry groups to gush in anticipation of a release date while acting like … [Read more...]

Prologue: Somewhere in the fields of Southern Indiana… Imagine, if you will, a boy. There is always a boy or a girl in these sorts of stories. He is blond and skeletal thin, running across the large green field beside his house. Star Wars, the St. Louis Cardinals, and Jesus are all jumbled up inside his head. If you asked him, he could talk about all three with equal passion. See him as he bikes around his small, Southern Indiana town. The world is alive to him, and somehow, he knows … [Read more...]

HamonNye Final Thoughts: This Debate Personifies What’s Wrong with America….

February 5, 2014 By Leave a Comment

Many bloggers rushed to post their thoughts right after the debate. I couldn't do this because I drove through a blinding snowstorm, and gave up to find a hotel. As I drove home this morning, I sorted through what I wanted to say. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and I needed time to process. So, after lunch and reading the latest issue of Green Lantern, I'm ready to give my thoughts. This debate personified everything wrong in America. I know this sounds like an extreme … [Read more...]

From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, as told to by the... well, crap, there's absolutely nothing within my line of sight that one could call nerdy...

HamOnNye Pre-Debate Coverage: Interview with Ken Ham

January 22, 2014 By 45 Comments
Ken Ham

(A few years ago, I visited the Creation Museum with a large group of atheists (that's a story for another day). Needles to say, the experience was interesting. On one hand, I was impressed with the production value of the museum. On the other, as a Christian, I cant agree with Ken Ham, his view of the bible or his cultural war mentality. Still, this is America and everyone has a right to present their views without edits. What you see below in the full on, unedited version of Ham's answers on … [Read more...]

From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, as told to by the stuffed dog sitting on the shelf beside him, which now looks completely more menacing than it did at 4 years old... Here be spoilers. "Where the hell is my monkey?" More questions are asked than answered in "274", the third episode of Syfy's latest original series, Helix.  Picking up from episode 2, we find others have been infected, and Julia is trying to cope with the fact that Peter has assaulted her and infected her with … [Read more...]

Helix_2

From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, who's thinking that monkey from Outbreak is looking pretty cuddly right now... "This thing doesn't kill, it annihilates." SyFy's newest original series, Helix, premiered over the weekend.  I wasn't going to watch it, because I couldn't stand the last SyFy series that was properly hyped, Defiance, past its pilot episode.  But then I learned that Ron Moore, the executive producer behind the gargantuanly stellar Battlestar Galactica, was behind … [Read more...]

From Geek Goes Rogue TV Editor Zach W. Lorton, as told to by the worn paperback copy of Roots he left in his high school locker... When I was growing up in the glorious 1980s, there was a lot about the decade I missed, because I turned double digits during the latter half.  Much of the pop culture of the day went over my head, or I wasn't old enough to appreciate it.  My wife and I even had a discussion about what decade we would go back to if we had a time machine, and I chose the '80s, … [Read more...]
