Today I'm just going to list most of the rest of the sites I use for material for The Nightly Nerdlinger News. After this I'm going to get back into the swing of things and start posting updates nightly again. It's just been a really bad couple of weeks at work and it's left me too depressed to really want to blog. But I'm off all this week for shutdown so besides updating my resume', sleeping and drinking as much beer and eating as much barbeque as I can I'll be hitting the net hard looking for nerdly goodness. And now, the other links.
SyFy Portal A good site for science fiction news, especially television items.
Dark Horizons A general movie site, but often has the best listings of trailers and early synopsis of new movies.
Anime News Network is a great site for all your Anime news needs, release dates, apperances, upcoming projects and just about anything a fanboy could want to know about Anime including an exhaustive encyclopeadia.
Anime Nation Another good anime news and anime sales site.
Fangoria The website of the long-lived magazine about horror movies.
Horror.com Another horror website, mostly news and releases.
Bloody Disgusting A good horror site, movie reviews, news and interviews
JoBlo's Movie Emporium A fun site with news, reviews, opinion peices, interviews mostly nerd-worthy stuff but the occasional mainstream stuff sneaks in.
Latino Review This site somehow gets ahold of drafts for all kinds of movies and posts them or at least reviews the drafts. All kinds of movies, but emphasis is on nerd-worthy movies. Also reviews, interviews etc.
News Askew The official View Askew and Kevin Smith news site. News on all his movie and comics projects.
Pit of Horror Another horror site dedicated to movies.
SCIFINEWS Fantasy and Science Fiction news for all media.
Slashdot A nerd news site, everything from tech to movies to comics to internet, anything your average nerd would find interesting. Highly recommended by me.
Space.com A great site dedicated to all things space related, news, tech, launches and just about anything cool about space.
I don't think I need to include obvious links of interest to nerds like TLC, Discovery, The History Channel, and The Smithsonian but there they are.

The Nightly Nerdlinger News Secret Origins Edition Pt 2
Tonight we feature sites where I find all the latest news about comic book movie, television and DVD projects.
First off is Superherohype, part of Crave online. They get a lot of interviews, reviews and news about superhero movies and television. They're a pretty good source.
Next up we have the appropriately named ComicBookMovie.com. They update regularly about just about any comic book movie news in a rolling blog. I often find stuff that gets over looked at the more general sites.
Next is the very specific Batman on Film site. Guess what they talk about there. But they are the place to go for any Batman fan looking for news about movie projects for the Dark Knight.
Though they actually can be a bit slow updating thier own news, you have to check Marvel.com for news regarding upcoming Marvel Heroes based movies. If for no other reason than the high res pics and clips.
Although they're a print media site, you can sometimes find some movie related news at Comic Book Resources , but even if they don't have a column up for movies or television they have really good reviews and news of comics themselves.
Tomorrow, science fiction and horror news sites that didn't get mentioned previously, and there's a bunch of em.

The Nightly Nerdlinger News Secret Origins Edition
Breathe...
Since the summer movie season is upon us and the studios are taking a breath after their exertions it's been a slow time lately, but I'm trying to find more news for you to keep your NQ (nerd quotient) at a high level. At times like this I go further afield in my search for Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Anime, Martial Arts and Action news for you. To that end I'm going to make a few posts on the sites I use most often to find out what's coming, what's rumour and what's, sadly, not gonna happen.
The first site I always check is Ain't it Cool News, or AICN as it is affectionately known to us nerds. Harry Knowles runs this site with the help of a lot of really good reviewers and a ridiculous amount of industry insider info. For over 10 years now this has been the go to place for news about the same kind of stuff I post about here. If it's American made this is the best place to find news about Science Fiction, Fantasy, American Animation and some Martial Arts, Horror and Anime news. For non-American stuff the next place I check is always-
Twitch, an amazing site dedicated to all the stuff that most American film sites don't tell you about. An interesting thing about foreign films is that they have a LOT of sub-genres and these guys know their stuff when it comes to sorting out what you should care about and what's probably just trash. Then again, they also appreciate really good trash. There's so much stuff coming out of Korea, Japan, India, Russia and a dozen other countries usually not associated with movies (at least on this side of the world) that no one can keep track of it all. Luckily, these guys do all the work for you. The only real trouble is finding R1 versions of the movies they report on, that is, if you remember about about them 6 months later when they might make it over here. Luckily they usually report when DVDs come out over here.
The next site I often go to for mostly Science Fiction news is Sci-Fi Wire, part of the Sci-Fi channels website. A lot of stuff pertaining to science fiction and fantasy in all types of media can be found there, especially stuff that shows on Sci-Fi.
Another site I frequent, Film ick comes out of the UK and is similar to mine (though much more thorough and better connected) in that it gathers LOTS of links to other sites and bits of news from all over. They also get the odd exclusive and post reviews. They do more than genre stuff though so you have to dig a bit sometimes.
One last site I check most days is CHUD. They've been around a while and focus mostly on genre stuff, leaning heavily towards the horror side of it. They also get the occasional interview with actors and directors. The reviews are very opinionated and usually funny as heck.
I'll add more to this tomorrow but these are the main sites I check every day. Others I check less frequently or when the news is slow, like now.
