Review: Den of Geek - Now in Book Form! - Everything I love about Den of geek, without the internet. Great articles, well presented, with more than a little dry wit for good measure. If you like the website, you'll love the book. Review: A fun read - I bought this book to occupy myself with during “airplane mode” on a long flight. It's basically a collection of mini-articles that are only a few paragraphs long. The focus of this collection is not clear from the product description or the cover. 85% of the book is about the film industry (budgeting, distribution, box office, contracts, edits, marketing, etc.) There is little about the content of the actual films. That said, it’s still very enjoyable. ## Features - Movie Geek - The Den of Geek Guide to the Movieverse - Must read book - It ensures you get the best usage for a longer period ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,835,417 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,744 in Video Reference (Books) #2,217 in Celebrity & Popular Culture Humor #2,284 in Movie Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 314 Reviews | ## Images ![Movie Geek: A Geek's Guide to the Movieverse - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81t1eJFdQ7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Den of Geek - Now in Book Form! *by M***R on February 5, 2018* Everything I love about Den of geek, without the internet.

It's basically a collection of mini-articles that are only a few paragraphs long. The focus of this collection is not clear from the product description or the cover. 85% of the book is about the film industry (budgeting, distribution, box office, contracts, edits, marketing, etc.) There is little about the content of the actual films. That said, it’s still very enjoyable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An interesting and well put together book *by E***E on October 25, 2017* I ordered this book thinking it might tip me off to some good movies I had missed. We have not had out TV connected for the better part of 30 years (turning it on for a couple of years so that our kids could watch Sesame street). We use it exclusively to watch movies, and have been having a difficult time finding anything new we want to watch (having seen just about anything that falls into that category). I had not realized that it was connected to a web site, and initially thought it was a vehicle to cross promote the site. It does have the feel of a web page, from the layout to the casual use of language, however, it goes deeper than that, or at least is organized in a way which might bring you up to speed. A great deal of the book is tidbits about various movies, but it is organized historically and grouped thematically so that it tells a story about the evolving nature of media. In fact, it explained why we are having such a difficult time finding things we enjoy: Hollywood's affair with big budget, special effects movies. (We tend to like movies which are more thoughtful, where the story comes first and special effects, if any, are an enhancement). That makes us outliers, particularly where I live. (Theaters here tend to focus on things that go boom). We are, however, very connected, and probably could find just about anything we wanted to watch, so... there is hope. In the book he describes how budgets, and reimbursements, and egos got progressively inflated (which also explains some of what we are seeing in the news)... how the focus on big budget effects films has squeezed out small to mid-sized companies (though the occasional low budget film still surprises) and a lot of back stage lore. There are sections on films which went over deadline and over budget, films which changed directors mid stream, or key actors, and interviews qith some of the people who make the magic happen. There is no question but that his "geekish" interests show through (having missed a really key part of what made ILM) but I know that bit only because I happened to go to the same college, and taken classes from the same popular professor (who first visualized the 4th dimension on film), I have little doubt that friends with the same proclivities would enjoy the discussion of kit bashing. This is a great book for film buffs, or anyone who likes knowing the little known facts about back-stage accidents and arguements, special effects and computer dubs or the odd ways in which certain films and houses are connected. Even if you do not fall into that category (I don't) there is a lot of interesting information here, and it is well put together. He doesn't just throw out these bits of errata. They are organized in a way which tells a meaningful story, something I am finding lacking in an awful lot of what has been coming out of Hollywood. ## Frequently Bought Together - Movie Geek - TV GEEK --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/58338236-movie-geek-a-geeks-guide-to-the-movieverse](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/58338236-movie-geek-a-geeks-guide-to-the-movieverse) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-22*
