Easing You Into This
Editor’s Note: In case the date-stamp didn’t make it clear, this article was part of GF5’s April Fool’s Day Joke for 2008.
Because the changeover I announced last night was so sudden, I’m going to ease you all into the new format of GeekForceFive.com by spending the day highlighting stories which involve both members of the new Geek Force and the old Geek Force. Stay tuned. The first story of the day involves my old favorite band, Nine Inch Nails, and my new favorite musical act Hannah Montana.
The New Geek Force Five
Editor’s Note: In case the reference to April 1 didn’t make it clear, this article was part of GF5’s April Fool’s Day Joke for 2008.
This is it, folks. This is the moment that you’ve all been waiting for. Starting tomorrow, April 1, 2008, I am going to finally come clean and be honest with all of you. Starting tomorrow, I’m abandoning all pretense, and I’m going to write about the five things that I really geek out about the most: Hannah Montana, Heidi Montag, Ryan Seacrest, Grey’s Anatomy, and Tyra Banks.
The time to get real is now, folks. It’s right fucking now. If you’re reading this via RSS, please do make sure to stop by the site to see the changes we’ve made. I think you’ll really appreciate the refreshing display of honesty on display.

Geek Force FiveCast 006 (Video)
After a two-week hiatus, I’ve brought the Geek Force FiveCast back to life. I’m going to tweak the format a bit. Instead of “five stories, in five minutes or less, five times a week”, I am going to promise a more reasonable “five minutes of geeky content per week.” That’s something that I think I can stick to, something that would have been even easier to stick to tonight, had iMovie cooperated and imported the first version of this show that I recorded earlier today.
In today’s FiveCast, I bring you up to speed on the format change and then talk about my organization system in iTunes. I don’t think it’s nearly as boring as that sentence makes it out to be.
If you’d like, you can subscribe to the show as a podcast via PodShow.com.
Live Action Simpsons Movie
Big ups to my pal Sara for pointing me in the direction of Filmonic’s casting ideas for a live-action Simpsons film. I’m particularly fond of the decision to cast William H. Macy as Ned Flanders and Ian McDiarmid as Mr. Burns.
Last Time on Lost: Meet Kevin Johnson
Teasing tonight’s episode for Entertainment Weekly’s Doc Jensen, Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof says… oh, waitaminute, one of our Geek Force interns just came in to deliver some terrible, terrible news. He tells me, not only is this not a Thursday (the night Lost airs here in the U.S.), but that there will be no new episodes of Lost until April 24, and therefore no weekly teases from Damon Lindelof. Oh, man! What the hell am I going to do with myself?
Rewatch the episodes that have already aired, apparently. Here, below the fold, are some of my thoughts on the last episode of Lost that aired here in the United States, “Meet Kevin Johnson.” These should have been up last week, but I stuffed so many envelopes last week that it sapped my will to blog.
