…Geek, Actually

Welcome to "...Geek, Actually"

The home of the ‘...Geek, Actually’ netcast and blog.

What's fun at the cinema this week? Anything good on TV? What is that Microsoft ad all about? These are just some of the questions that "...Geek, Actually" tries to answer. Ready to try something a little Geeky?

The "...Geek, Actually" netcast is a weekly show that looks at the world of film and tech (and anything else we think of) from a geek's perspective. My name is David McVay and I created the netcast (and blog). I don't speak for all geeks, this is my unique perspective and I hope you will join me (and my regular guests Mirren Lee and Jacob Oberman) as we try to find fun in the cinema and sanity in the world.

This site and the netcast officially launched on July 28th, 2008 and the show grows every week. This site is the companion to the netcast and updated fairly regularly. The most current and up to date material is in the show itself. The show (which you can subscribe to on iTunes) is a spontaneous, conversational weekly netcast filled with lots of movie, television and tech news, plus trivia and opinion. Our primary focus is to share film and tech news to people who aren't necessarily in the "business". Think of us as your friends and feel free to ask questions.

I have a very keen interest in the world of tech and movies, so these topics do take center stage (particularly movies), however the netcast and site can also address other issues of interest. It would be fair to say that topics on religion, politics and even cuisine could come up and we are not afraid to voice our opinions. If you disagree with the views of myself or any of my guests, that is your right in a free speaking world, I have even set up a forum (click the link above) so you can tell me your opinion. I don’t speak for all geeks but I do know there are a lot out there like me.

For those worried that it is all to ‘geeky’ for them, have no fear, the netcast and the blog are really for everyone. Because I am a geek, the ‘geek perspective’ just means from my perspective. I always have other contributors (and guests on the netcast) that keep me in the real world. As an example, Mirren Lee is a proud NON-geek!

The mission I have set for this netcast (and blog) is to find the fun in movies and technology and then share that with you. For too long now cinema has been hijacked by the intellectuals. Have you lost the wonder and fun of movies? Do you just want to have fun going to the movies again without having to worry about the greater meaning of it all? Would you like to be able to admit that you watch commercial cinema and not have people look down their noses at you? Would you like to be able to hire a Steven Seagal or Arnold Schwarzenegger DVD and not be made to feel like you are renting porn? I am dedicated to shaking off the shackles of the intellectual masturbators who seem to have hijacked the cinema. Film critics and film studies students beware, your reign is almost at an end. I just want to start loving movies again and I hope to take you along for the ride.

You are welcome to post comments on the articles. So you never miss a post, you can also set up an RSS feed to the blog by clicking the orange RSS button above. To subscribe to the netcast, click the itunes link below.

You can subscribe to the site (it's free and easy), just click the "log in" at the bottom of the page and then I will have a good idea of how many regular visitors I have and you will have a unique "voice" when you comment. You can also subscribe to the forum so you can all have your say. Click the link above to go and start a conversation.

I hope you enjoy the site, netcast and forum, it is for you.

Cheers, David
