NIKKI'S GEEK SEASON

Nikki Finke keeps saying she "doesn't do geek", generally to add a "but..." - which rises some astonishing reactions each time. I suspect Nikki does that for the fun of it and it's now a well-established "Finkism", like "The gift that keeps on giving" or her famous "Toldja!" The "I don't geek" is now even cult (see this hilarious video here: http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/spoof-nobody-watched-the-watchmen/).

But Nikki Finke knows that most of this industry is "Geek-centric". Like last year, film reviewer and comic book expert Luke Y. Thompson covers the San Diego Comic-Con for Deadline Hollywood Daily. AMC's remake of The Prisoner and Doctor Who series 5 are amongst the items of interest (http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/2009-comic-con-hollywood-preview/).
