Ever wonder what Marvel and DC characters are thinking about their movies? Well, wonder no more!
After reading an article on Double Viking about Extreme Fanboyism, I wondered what level of fanboyism I’m on, in terms of comic books. Am I just a casual fan or a ridiculously extreme fanboy? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s making a stupid list of things that determine how much of a fanboy I am:
- I have a pull list. My local comic shop (LCS) probably enjoys how I constantly update my pull list every week since it becomes easier for them to sell me comics. The pull list also gives me the perk of getting the variant covers I want. And since they set aside my copies of their new comics once they get delivered, I’m assured my comics haven’t been touched by more than one person and are in very good condition.
- I blog about comics and related pop culture stuff 5 times a week.
- I reserve my Thursday nights for getting my comics from my LCS and reading them. Thursday night is comics night, beer and friends be damned.
- First news articles I read everyday are about comics. I have no freaking idea what’s going on in world politics and current events. I can probably name more X-Men characters than Philippine politicians.
- I don’t like watching comic book movies in the theaters because I don’t want to beat up non-fanboys every time they utter the names of every freakin’ character they recognize on the screen. Idiots.
- When a seriously big typhoon hit and our house was flooded, I saved my comics first before anything else. This is why I don’t have a pet.
- I read comics even during blackouts.
- A date usually involves dinner, a movie, several bottles of beer, and a trip to my LCS. The clerks at my LCS probably know more about my dating life than my friends.
- Speaking of the clerks at my LCS, our relationship involves text messaging each other about the schedule of new comics delivery.
- I spend more money on comics than on clothes, cellphone load, and food combined. I practically work so I can buy comics.
- Sometimes, I talk like Dr. Doom.
I saw Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer last Friday night and I think it’s far better than the first FF movie, which isn’t really saying much. I was so distracted by Jessica Alba’s hotness and weird contacts. WTF’s up with that?! Also, to that cosmic cloud they call “Galactus“, I say “booo!” I mean, come on! They pulled off a silver surfer dude, but they can’t do a giant purple dude? Bah!
Anyway, since I’m in the mood for talking about comic book movies, I just found out that Nick Fury is rumored to appear in the upcoming Iron Man live-action movie set to debut next year.
Hello! How you doin’? I’m Baddie, but people outside the Intarnatz call me Gino Carteciano. I am a web programmer/designer/developer/asshole who has an unhealthy passion for the graphic fiction medium.
This blog, Face Rockery, shall contain said passion. Comic book news, reviews, and everything else connected to the lovely medium shall rock your face via this blog. I’ll also throw in some pop culture crap once in a while for the full geek effect.
I’ve already started laying my comic book geek crap on the blogosphere through my Baddieverse blog. And because I don’t have enough stuff to offer you on this face-rocking blog yet, I’ll just give you some links to my Baddieverse geekery for now:
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
