Kids: Joan of Arc
Joan of Arc by Alice Lewis
Photographed by Kelly Is Nice Photography
"While most of our research was done through books we checked out a few movies for Alice to watch and learn about the battles and time period. The Messenger with Milla Jovovich was the closest we found to actual events but the spiritual parts were pretty dark and weird. Of course, Alice liked it a lot and it’s her new favorite movie. Joan of Arc with Leelee Sobieski is not even remotely accurate and ridiculously long and honestly maybe the worst movie I’ve ever seen and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy and every time you come across it you should kill it with fire just so that it would be a slightly more accurate representation of Joan’s life."

Nerd Caliber
was on the scene at the recent Anime Boston 2014 when they came upon
this guy. So cool. Make sure to watch until the end, when Batman
activates his wings.
Rule63: Hellboy

I think this is one of the best genderbent character cosplays I've seen. At least, the costume makes me wish that this was an actual comic. I think Hellboy would be a more interesting character with a sort of River Song-like personality.
Rule 63: Big Sister
Not all Rule 63 cosplay has to sexy. Sometime it's refreshing to come across a bit of Rule 63 that's even more terrifying than the original.

"Part of a longer. bigger personal project. These are some amazing steampunk DC character cosplay people. My bigger picture plan is a whole series of different cosplay, but the difference is going to be the "off duty" portion. Keep your eyes peeled for that when it comes."

Cosplay So Amazing It Doesn't Even Need Clothes
GEEKDOM: Cosplay grown into a mainstream hobby
Have you heard the kerfluffle surrounding Cherry City Comic Con? Basically an attendee asked for a refund because of the con’s sexist attitude toward cosplay, after which the con’s director, Mark Martin, mocked her on Facebook, both under his account and using a sockpuppet. Professionalism at its finest! We have links.

Fan Film: Star Trek Continues
The fan-made web series Star Trek Continues, directed by Vic Mignogna, picks up of story of the crew of the Enterprise immediately after the end of the original series. The cast does an admirable job capturing the spirit of the original series and an even better job emulating the look of the series. It's a jarring reminder of just how far consumer-grade technology has come when hobbyists can re-create the experience of what was a cutting-edge network series this well.
This episode, "Pilgrim of Eternity," was written by Mignogna, Steve Frattarola, and Jack Treviño, and follows up the original Star Trek episode "Who Mourns for Adonais?" In fact, Michael Forest reprises his original series role as Apollo. And there are a few more surprises in this episode, including a very special guest star. Also, be sure to listen closely to the ship's computer.

Fan Film: Flight From Shadow
Epic Level TV has posted a making-of documentary going into the story
behind the creation of “Flight From Shadow,” a Wheel of Time short film
created by fans of the epic fantasy series. The whole project makes me wonder how this series has gone so long without some form of screen adaptation.
"WHEEL OF TIME fan movie "Flight From Shadow" chronicles the events in the "Four Kings in Shadow" chapter from The Eye of the World, the first book of Robert Jordan's bestselling series.
After narrowly escaping an ambush in the town of Whitebridge and walking for days on the Caemlyn Road, Rand al'Thor and his companion Matrim Cauthon seek rest and shelter in the Dancing Cart-Man Inn at the village of Four Kings. After bargaining for one night's room and board with Saml Hake, the duo soon discover that the servants of the Great Lord of the Dark are hot on their heels. Deceived by Hake and his henchmen, Rand and Mat find themselves trapped in a storeroom, forced to use the forbidden energy of the One Power for their very survival."
Fan Film: Girl of Steel
Here's a fantastic fan film that frames the story of Supergirl with the dignity that's so often been absent from her franchise. Read an interview with the film's star at Comic Book and Movie Reviews.
"Girl of Steel is a conceptual fan film based on DC Universe/Comics heroine, Supergirl. We wanted to produce a short story that empowers female role models. The Girl of Steel isn't just a superhero, but a freedom fighter inherited in all young women."
Fan Film: A Tale of Benjen Stark
"A Tale of Benjen Stark" A Game of Thrones fanfiction by The VonWong
While we wait for the fourth season of Game of Thrones to be released, here's an awesome fan-made short film for you to check out. The short is incredibly well done. This is the first of a two part film.
"On a scouting mission shortly after his return to the wall, Benjen Stark stumbles upon the bloody aftermath of an attack on a wildling camp. A pair of survivors are discovered as Ben attempts to unravel the mystery behind the carnage."
