If there's anything we learned from A Charlie Brown Christmas, it's that
Christmas has become far too commercialized and that the true spirit of
Christmas isn't in the gifts that you receive. So, going entirely against
that lesson from our childhoods, we've concocted the second annual
Gobbledygeek Gift Guide! We'll clue you into everything you should buy for
that nerd in your life, be they into movies (The Tree of Life! Hanna!),
music (Nirvana! Pink Floyd!), games (Arkham City! Skyrim!), or more. We
also leaven all the cynical buying and spending with genuine, heartfelt
appreciations of the movies We Bought a Zoo, Hugo, and The Muppets, plus
some Formspring questions and an e-mail.
Next: We continue our Christmas celebration with a discussion of Gremlins.
Because who doesn't like to think of Phoebe Cates' dad getting stuck in
the chimney when they're putting up the tree?
