-There has never been a better time on our planet to be a nerd. We control everything, and a grand majority of entertainment, media, marketing, and culture are now aimed at us. Finally, we can see good comic book movies on the big screen, and they are hugely successful. 10 years ago, no one would have invested the money in a movie about the X-Men (except a few made-for-TV movies that were based on the comics, but with new characters, these movies were stupid). Comics had their place on TV then, but now, they are EVERYWHERE. And I love it. Now we have big movie stars playing the actual characters from the comic books. It's awesome!
-On a related note: Hugh Jackman is a dork. He bugs me in everything he does, except X-Men. It's like he's trying too hard to be sexy. I loved the movie The Prestige, he did well there, but he still bugged me. He was made to play Wolverine and nothing else. Summary: Hugh Jackman as [insert anything except Wolverine] = stupid; Hugh Jackman as Wolverine = Totally awesome.
-Finally more and more TV shows seem to be appealing to my sense of humor. Usually I am the only person that can make myself laugh. I don't know why, but that's just the way it is. Seriously, if I type LOL on your Facebook post, it really means CSTM (chuckled softly to myself). Sorry, it takes something special to make me laugh. I've never really gotten into sitcoms, because they really just weren't that funny to me before. But now the nerds have risen up, and are situated amongst every class of people, including TV writers. Now there are a bunch of shows that make me laugh. What's funny though is that it is the little parts of these shows that might go unnoticed that tickle my fancy (I keep my fancy well protected, so tickling it is quite a feet). Recently I made a new addition to my list of favorite cartoons of all time. The list is now 3 long. They are Invader Zim
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
And the most recent, Adventure Time.
Invader Zim remains my all time favorite (I have every episode ever on my phone so I can rewatch it whenever I want), but Adventure time is a close second.
-Like I said, I'm not much of a comic collector, but the new Scott Pilgrim movie makes me want to go out and buy every Scott Pilgrim comic there is, right now. That or get the new iPhone app, but I would still have to buy them all through the iPhone app, either way, it's money that I don't have thanks to sinking $600 into my vehicles over the past couple of months. That hurt bad. Anyway, the fact that that movie exists, and has some huge-budget, awesome effects, is proof that this is the time to live if you're a nerd.
-That's about it for today, now here are some videos that make me CSTM.
