Don't believe everything you hear, folks: Santa is real. And he lives in Minnesota - which is about as close to the North Pole as you can get in the United States. Tom Bethke is this real-life Santa Claus. He's got the red suit, the white beard, the ever-present smile and he's the owner of Kringle Workshops, an Etsy store where he sells his handmade wooden toys. Bethke first aligned with good ole Saint Nick four decades ago, as a senior in high school. He dressed up as Santa Claus for family and friends for a few years, before he...

From Formula One to football and boxing to baseball, here are the big screen's finest sport sagas
Rush
Don't get excited, Liverpool fans: director Ron Howard's latest film isn't about the Reds' all-time leading scorer Ian Rush and his rubbish 'tache. Instead, it tells the extraordinary story of the 1976 Formula One season, dominated by the battle between dashing British playboy driver James Hunt (played by Chris "Thor" Hemsworth) and austere Austrian Niki Lauda (Daniel "Good Bye, Lenin!" Brühl). After a near-fatal crash at the Nürburgring, Lauda returned just six weeks later, his horrific scalp burns still bandaged and bleeding, to defend his world title. It's scripted by Peter Morgan, who's made a career out of dramatising real events in the likes of The Queen and Frost/Nixon.

2012 will be the first year that GeekTrant will invade WonderCon, mostly due to the fact that it was moved down to Anaheim, CA this year which is right in our backyard. We're all pretty excited about attending this year, as we've heard it's a much smaller more intimate version of San Diego Comic Con.
WonderCon is set to open on Friday, March 16th and run through Sunday, March 18th at the Anaheim Convention Center. If you plan on attending let us know, and maybe we can meet up and hang out for a bit!
I've put stars next to the panels we are interested in attending. Check out the schedule, and let us know what you are looking forward to seeing most!
Friday March 16th
12:30-1:30 Idw Presents: The Idw Panel!— Chief creative officer Chris Ryall and sergeant of marketing Dirk Wood, give out prizes, make announcements, and evade questions!

Becoming Santa was a documentary that left a giant grin on my face (read my review to find out why) and I jumped at the chance to interview the filmmakers. What follows is a transcription of the two on one interview with director Jeff Myers and subject Jack Sanderson about their documentary. We discuss deciding to take this route, the pains and pleasures of being what is essentially a Christmas rock star, the differences between documentary filmmaking and narrative filmmaking, and even the lack of respect children are getting in the country at large. The film also won the award for Best Spotlight Feature at SXSW. Check out our talk below and I’ve included the trailer first for some background on the film.
