ENHANCED BOREDOM

We all get bored at some point. But usually it isn't hard to change that. I'm usually like that too. However, the current situation isn't allowing a break from the boredom. The inability to fully use my hand is limiting what I can do period let alone occupy my brain with hobbies and interests. And am slowly having similar symptoms in the other hand. Which is either an extension of what's happening or is due to the new overuse because it's been picking up the slack. Even typing this on my phone is aggravating something. But, literally nothing else to do.

Video games, drawing, or even writing my own name is near impossible. Video games are slightly possible based on which game. Ironically, if this is MS, video games are actually part of the rehabilitation process to regain hand dexterity. I actually find humor in that. "Why are you playing video games? You're 35 years old." To which I simply reply, "Because the doctor said so!".
This leaves me with movies and television. Movies are hard as once I've seen a movie I tend to do things like write or draw when I watch again. Ok not tend to, it's what I do. And with television, season is ending for the shows I can bare to watch. Which is really limited to nerdish things. Mainly wrestling. Which is a future entry in itself as things are horrible right now on many levels and fronts. Organization and direction. But again, for a future entry.
I am itching to restart the workout regimen or even begin a rehabilitation program but can't really do either until at least knowing what is up. Which could be a number of things. Singular or possibly a couple of issues happening at once.

I have zero idea in how to pay for the schooling, but a positive from all of this is that physical therapist is appealing to me. It would almost be like combining the nerd and athlete within. I'm a libra so I love (and hate) things that balance. Stay Nerdy!

ON THIS DAY JULY 19TH

I guess it is somewhat of an anniversary around here. Going through the "On This Day..." on Facebook, and my first entry came up. A lot has changed in the last 5 years, and of course a lot has remained generally the same. This blog evolved into somewhat of a mini-site, which I have come and gone from over the years. Life outside of this of course getting in the way. However, not that it has all been a bad thing. I workout  now, trying to rebuild myself both physically and mentally. Slow start, but I have become addicted to all of it, so I have no intentions of slowing down.

Another issue was my trying to make more than a blog. Adds pressure trying to cover breaking news, reviews, and opinions for comic books, movies, tv shows, video games, and wrestling. I plan to roll things back a bit and just take the "here's my opinion" route more often than anything. Although there was an adrenaline rush trying to get the scoop on other site through social media platforms. But, it gets tiring trying to take on teams of people who make revenue through their sites. I am lucky if I make a penny a month. I am Canadian, so pennies are obsolete haha Money would be nice, but I started all of this as simply an outlet to voice my opinion...like basically everyone else with access to the internet.
But somehow, I am going to make this into a brand. I never thought of any of this being a brand, or my being capable to create one. I had a few thousand Facebook gamers know me as The Joker or Mr. J during Zynga's heyday. Only dabbled in Mafia, as Heroes Vs Villains was my wheelhouse. In hindsight, that was kind of my having a brand and not being aware of it. Obviously, the name is owned by others but it was a start. This all comes up as I was asked on Instagram (where I post nerd fit memes) about my brand, and clearly don't have one per say. Now, I am curious if this is something I can and should do. And if I do, then what exactly.
Do I just keep doing as I am doing, but with more focus and direction? Do I finally lift the veil and stop worrying about the opinions and feelings of others? As I have attempted to maintain a positive vibe around here, always looking for the positives in things even though negativity tends to draw the people in. Do I pick a specific area and focus the brand on that? Wrestling has been life long, comic books are a close second, with movies and television being almost simply an everyday thing. Video games are the weak spot. I do love gaming, just not at the level of others and I have specific preferences as to what I play. Nerd Fit, which is generally a fancy name for a nerd working out, is my current obsession. Should I focus on that, include it in the group?

To steal a line from Jack Nicholson's Joker, "So much to do in so little time.", but I am still in the should I or shouldn't I phase of all of this. I have plenty of time, as I run out when I am dead, and I don't think I am dead....right?...oh sh!t...what if this is all a Sixth Sense type deal happening?...I need an adult...

NON-GEEKY NERD'S SURVIVAL KIT

I am a nerd, and like others I prefer my movies in extended cuts and part of a trilogy or saga. The Dark Knight trilogy, The Matrix, Lord Of The Rings, etc. I also enjoy professional wrestling/sports entertainment where RAW and Special Events are 3-4 hours in length. Wrestlemania is now part of Wrestlemania Weekend which includes NXT's Take Over, WWE Hall Of Fame Ceremony. Wrestlemania itself is rumored to be around 8 hours this year with the pre and post shows added to the spectacle of spectacles. This requires food and beverages that require little to no preparation. Everyone has their own "survival kits", so naturally I have mine too.

Movie/TV/Wrestling Marathons

• Pizza (preferably delivered)
• Pringles (pizza and original)
• Oriental Party Pack
• Baked Goods (homemade)
• Cookies
• Joe Louis/Ah Caramel/Twinkies
• Candy (soft)
• Pop (Dr. Pepper or Coke)
• Bottled Water (Flavored)
• Batman Tumbler Cup
• Blanket

No shocker that pizza is on there. It is good hot or cold, so you can have it at any point of the marathon. I prefer delivery for obvious reasons, but also that you don't have to get up and the boxes make it so you can put them anywhere close by, where from the oven likely would need a platter or two for the amount of pizza required. The party pack is the only thing that is made right before it all begins, the baked goods (which range from brownies, lemon tarts, butter tarts, and cookies) would be made prior to the day, and just for everyday consumption anyhow. Candy is whatever I feel like having at that point in time. Normal or sour. Berries, Gummy Bears/Worms/Anything, Sour Patch Kids, Peach/Watermelon Slices, etc. I like to drink my pop (soda pop to the Yanks, fizzy drink to the Europeans I hear) in my Batman cup with a straw haha And yes a blanket. Canadian. It's cold at times and I just find it comfy haha Wrestling one at the moment, working on getting a Batman blanket soon haha












Power Outage

• Matches
• Lighter
• Candles
• Batteries
• Flashlight
• Comic Books/Graphic Novels
• Paper
• Pens and/or Pencils
• Blanket
• Pop (Dr. Pepper or Coke)
• Bottled Water (Flavored) 
• Batman Tumbler Cup
• Pop Tarts
• Cookies

I added the power outage list as it happens every where, and like many it exposes my dependence on electricity. But, I am Canadian so I at least know how I would prepare myself I wasn't, well, if I wasn't so lazy haha But, the knowledge is there since we have power outages for variety of reasons during all four seasons. Heck, I remember that massive blackout in the early 2000's. We were one of the first to get our power back on living on the same grid as the hospital. My father-in-law was all concerned about conserving energy, while my nerd butt ran up to my apartment and immediately turned on my television and PS2 haha I should point out how I can still read my comic books as they are hard copies and not digital. I always ask in the those arguments what happens when you run out of power? Even in broad daylight digital can't be read if the device can't be recharged, and I've seen the power out for days on days. Not a regular thing in a first world country. Paper and something to write with for when something pops into my head, or I just feel like doodling haha Food is the hard part here. No power means no stove or microwave, and I am not a hotplate kind of person. It also means, ordering pizza is not happening unless the outage is only a selected area and not a weather related thing. It also doesn't help that there is a peanut allergy in my home so even a basic sandwich becomes more difficult. Pop Tarts are meant to be a meal on the go (haha), and don't need to be warm to consume, so I'll throw that on the list for "meals" since we can't live off of snacks...or can we? haha No electronics on the list either. Battery life is limited, and I don't own a generator. It will be like camping at home inside, in my own bed haha

Like most things, this is ever evolving. Heck, they almost stopped making Twinkies. Still think that was just an attempt to trip out the people enjoying life in certain states in 'Merica! haha

THINGS MY GRANDKIDS WON'T UNDERSTAND

It will be similar to that of what I am sure my grandparents and parents felt when they would mention something. But, in most of those cases, it would still exist so I would see it. Black and White television? Saw it quite often as a kid. Beta Max and 8track? Saw them as they were being phased out, and even had a Beta Max from my Grandpa, which is how I saw/loved "Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke" haha With my grandchildren however, there might not be the things to show them if I don't save something.

Hard Copies

This applies to almost everything that entertains us. Music, movies, video games, and literature. When I tell my grandchildren about VHS and audio cassette tapes, they are going to think that we literally put pieces of tape onto everything haha DVD's and CD's will be the same thing. Blu-Ray's I am not sure, as they are pretty durable but if they will still be made at that time is the question. Literature ranging in almost all genres. Books, newspapers (which will just be "news"), comic books, etc. Even physical mail, although that could hang-on for those who grasp the concept of "hand written" letter haha "What's hard copy. Grandpa? Is that the files you can't copy from Grandma?" haha

Telephones

It is already at the point where having a landline phone is becoming not normal haha I have one, but it is really only something for emergencies, opening the main door to my apartment building, and for debt collectors to call haha Are my grandbabies even going to need to know how to dial a phone? Even now with my cell phone, I don't really know anyone's number or even my own. Why? I don't use it, and with others I find their names and go from there haha We've already lost meaning to a lot of the terms that stemmed from telephones. Hang-up. Dialing. Both began as literal meanings.

Movie Theaters

It is hard to see them disappearing, but the home movie experience is becoming better and better. Televisions, and even projection units are top quality, and improving.  Add that there has already been some films that premiered both in theaters and on-demands everywhere. I am on the fence, I do prefer to watch movies at home, but that movie theater experience is still hard to beat.

The Incredible Hulk

The character will likely still be around, but I am talking live action. They will give me "wtf, Grandpa" looks when I tell them that the character was originally played by a man. Lou Ferrigno mind you, but still a man and not a CGI perfected monster.

Hoverboards

Look at me when I say this, "THOSE. ARE. NOT. HOVERBOARDS!" haha What they are passing off today are segways minus the handle. Hoverboards "hover", they don't "roll". I fear my grandchildren will never know they are getting ripped off if this continues haha

Animation....By Hand

It has already begun, and the quality has jumped leaps and bounds, but can't replace the early years. An 80's kid, so cartoons were a big part of my childhood haha Then again, this could work in my favor, "Holy sh^t! Look at what Grandpa just did!!" haha

I am sure that there are other things, or that there will surely be some new additions over the upcoming years. But, this is a sad start haha Some changes will be embraced by myself and others like me, but even then a part of me will miss the experiences that came from the "hard times" haha

NGN FAVORITES: MOVIES

Like television shows, this list doesn't really show everything that I have watched and enjoyed throughout my life of 34 years. Too many genres for starters, and I enjoy trilogies and sagas, which are technically one story. Most of the movies I have seen were at home, but have seen a few in theaters. I just prefer uncrowded places, with no morons talking, yelling, or chewing through the film haha

Fav Movies As A Kid

• Batman (1989)
• Batman Returns
• Rocky IV
• No Holds Barred
• La Bamba
• The Neverending Story
• He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe
• Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
• Police Academy 3
• The Care Bear Movie

The Care Bear Movie was the first film I had seen in a theater, so it makes the cut for popping the cherry. I remember thinking how weird He-Man was, but I as a child I liked it. Same with Hogan in No Holds Barred. La Bamba and The Neverending Story still make me cry haha Stupid horse. Police Academy 3 would've been joined by 1 and 2, but didn't have the room. All three were on a VHS tape at my grandparents, so it was "one" movie to me haha Porky's Revenge almost made the cut, given my cousin and I watched the crap out of it haha

Fav Movies As A Teen

• He Got Game
• Space Jam
• Scream
• Independence Day
• American Pie
• Natural Born Killers
• Men In Black
• Bad Boys
• The Crow
• American History X

My teen years were my basketball years, and comic book movies were well....Batman & Robin...ya. He Got Game is still a great movie, glad to see my kids enjoying what I did as a teen haha Will Smith was tops at that time, hence the film count for him. American Pie...hahahahahaha Natural Born Killers and American History X are/were amazing movies. Gripping as they say.

Fav Movies In My 20's

• Batman Begins
• The Dark Knight
• The Dark Knight Rises
• Star Wars Ep III: Revenge Of The Sith
• The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
• The Matrix Trilogy
• Scarface
• The Godfather Trilogy
• Kick-Ass
• Watchmen

Although some of these began when I was a teen, the trilogies were mainly watched in whole in my 20's. Scarface and The Godfather came out when I was a kid (and before I was born) but finally watched and loved them. There was finally an influx of comic book films, but again too many to list, so I went with the ones just outside of "mainstream". Chloe Moretz as Hit Girl was off the chains....do they still say that? Meh. The Dark Knight Trilogy needed to be mentioned individually. They are top favorites. And, they are directly responsible for my return to comic books.

Fav Movies Now

• Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
• Suicide Squad
• Deadpool
• Man Of Steel
• The Avengers
• The Avengers: Age Of Ultron
• Guardians Of The Galaxy
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
• The Amazing Spider-Man
• Sherlock Holmes

Suicide Squad doesn't come out until mid-summer, and I haven't seen Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice yet. Why are they on the list? Underestimating my fan hood. Love what I have seen thus far from both movies. I am also on the side that loved Man Of Steel. And Supes always has to earn my love haha Like majority The Avengers universe would go on here, but there isn't enough room. Guardians Of The Galaxy makes the cut because I truly had no hope for the film, and it ended up being my favorite so far. I am also disappointed that the Amazing Spider-Man franchise was cut short (especially with the planned build on the universe), and back in reboot mode.

COMIC BOOK VIDEO GAMES: STILL WAITING

It is the age of the comic book nerd in entertainment right now. Television has been had a jump in number of comic book shows that are on with Arrow, The Flash, The Walking Dead, Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD, Daredevil, quite a few others and more in the works. Movies always had a comic book presence, just not at the rate we have seen the last decade. And DC Comics is just now truly adding to the mix so combined with everything Marvel is putting out, there is a lot of movies.

You would think that video games would also be right up there in terms of quantity. Quality is improving with each passing console I must add, but there needs to be an increase in numbers for sure.It is hard to believe that with the success of the Batman: Arkham franchise, DC Comics didn't jump at expanding its empire within the video game world. Same can be said with Marvel, who of the two tends to be the merchandising machine, but not the case here. Not that anyone is asking for games that are basically video game versions of the movies, but something based on them. Spider-Man 1-3 did this early with free-roaming capabilities and only similarities with the movies. Everything else was almost its own video game universe loaded with comic book universe references. Why not do this with The Avengers universe that has unfolded? Either a collective or individual games. There are so many characters within both DC and Marvel's worlds that would almost work instantly in the styling of Batman: Arkham franchise. Green Arrow, The Flash from top of my head for DC Comics if we are eliminating flying capabilities. The Punisher, Spider-Man, and Deadpool for Marvel. Deadpool was recently re-released on PS4 (picture was a happy accident that was left as is haha), but it was an older PS3 game, and some upgrades would make for an epic game. Visually and story line. Add Ryan Reynolds as the voice. Might be gold.

I am sure there is a valid reason for the lack of presence by comic books in the video game market. Or perhaps they are in the works given the success in other fields. I am itching for something, given that I haven't come across anything saying there will be more Batman games with Batman: Arkham Knight being the final chapter of the Arkham franchise. Would love to see perhaps a villain version. The Joker and others. Just saying.

MORE WRESTLING THAN ANYTHING ELSE

If there are any "regulars" out there, you may wonder why so many more wrestling than anything else entries. Well, that is simply because professional wrestling never stops. I've said before what the WWE has become is truly sports entertainment.  Unlike other television shows and sports, there isn't an off-season in wrestling. Sure, we may get a pre-taped RAW if Christmas lands on a Monday, but we still get something.

With sports entertainment, there is also many other things to talk about then RAW or Smackdown!, even though there are things to talk about there on a weekly basis. There is the past, the present, the future of each superstar and diva (sorry, wrestlers and womens wrestlers), which include things like character direction, who they should face, who they should face again because it was amazing before. There is the direction of the WWE and the rest of the promotions out there. There are countless rumors and incidents to talk about. Countless "what if..." and "should be"s on every level of the business.
This time of year is Wrestlemania season, so there is even more things to talk about. This years event and it's card, how it should be, how things will turn out. Opinions on how things did go down, the next nights RAW. Plus, there is 31 previous Wrestlemania's and the matches they contained or should have.
I don't get this from anything else. Television shows usually only last so long before they are cancelled, or simply decide to end their runs. Television also functions as "seasons", so we only get half a years worth really, and nowadays with the breaks during the season. Movies are similar, except there is usually a 2-3 year gap between films, and that is if there is even a follow-up film. And revamps are highly possible (looking at you Spider-Man). With comic books it all depends on what you read and how publishing schedules work out. Even then, you are likely looking at a monthly wait for the next issue. Plus, now even the comic books are in a near constant revamp and relaunch mode.

With wrestling the worst that really happens are injuries or sudden character changes or firings, but even all of that gives fans something to talk about. So, if anyone was curious as to why the wrestling posts are heavier than anything else, that is why. Or if you don't care, I completely understand haha

THE UNDERTAKER MOVIE

Awhile ago, there were reports that WWE was planning to do an Undertaker movie. Not an autobiography of Mark Calaway, and not directly of the WWE Hall Of Famer (matter of when, not if) we've seen in the ring. It would be a movie simply about The Undertaker with the Hollywood touch of scripts, action sequences, special effects, etc.

Everyone has their own opinions on how they would go about this and would like to see in the film. Personally, it would be a cross between The Crow, Fight Club and a Western movie, with added sci-fi vibes to the script and presentation. I don't think I would have guns really, but a lot of hand to hand combat. With a majority of Undertakers move sets involved in the fight scenes with twists of course. Imagine an enemy laying off the edge of a building or something, Taker does the classic leg drop. Except this time there is obviously no apron, but he does the move and actually decapitates the person before vanishing into a cloud of smoke in midair. I would also consider having Kane be involved as well. Now that I think of it, he could play the roll of the main instigator, or the muscle of the main villain. Can show a flashback of Takers home being burned to the ground, his family inside. Only to have this monster return later. Not far from what they did in WWE, but with a major Hollywood upgrade.
I don't know if I would have Undertaker (Mark Calaway) play himself or have a hunt for someone who looks like him and can actually act. If it were done a few years ago, or made right now? The real Deadman for sure. As of right now he could do most of the work himself, and if need be, make him younger looking via however they do it haha

As for how I end it. Remember then ending of Conan The Conqueror? With Arnold as an aged King? That is when the Taker we see today appears sans young effects, or the real Undertaker will appear if we used another actor.

It is of course likely to "never" get made, or will be at least a few years from now. However, that doesn't mean it shouldn't. Undertaker is one of the few characters from over the years that you wouldn't necessarily need to make a "wrestling" movie. Till next time, stay Nerdy!

APP OBSESSION OF THE MOMENT

Not usually an "app person", I barely even want a cell at times haha But, I do have moments where I join the herd and play around with one. MSQRD is the app that has my attention at the moment, and drew me in with the Batman V Superman filters. Like I was going to pass up being Batman haha I have enjoyed it thus far, and am thinking perhaps I will replace text messages with videos of myself as Batfleck's Batman. Seriously, I am haha

There is also the Superman filter, which for any X-Men fans could also be used to replicate yourself as Cyclops sans visor or shades. There are others, but nothing comic book related from what I can tell. Which is what my brain is craving now, and can envision filters where we are transformed into comic book characters like Deadpool, The Joker (any, and all live action versions), Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood, you can see where I am going with this I am sure. Well, if you are a comic book fan
that is.

If I were more Geek than Nerd, I would try and make my own app that is the same, but I would also add voice changing features. I think that would be pretty cool. For those who aren't able to imitate. Batman, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), even other genres with legendary voices like from Star Wars with Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Yoda,......Jar Jar hahaha

It will be interesting to see where else they go with this, if anywhere. Would seem possibly a good idea to try and base more things on movies and shows as they are released. Deadpool, Batman V Superman, Captain America: Civil War, Suicide Squad, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows, etc this year alone. Nerd culture is booming right now, and with even just the movies it makes sense. The Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice filters have been enjoyable as I have said. If they charge us for them, hopefully not too much haha

THIS MOVIE HAD BETTER BE GOOD

Which movie? That would be "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice". Not just because of the hype or the cast, those are important of course, but because I have been waiting since 2013 for this film. The film that launched this movieverse was "Man Of Steel", and I am one of those who really enjoyed the film. So much so, that I immediately awaited a sequel.

Technically, "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" isn't a sequel to "Man Of Steel", but it is the follow-up. The sequel will apparently come out later, which is somewhat weird but could kind of work in my head. Perhaps have the "stand-alone" movies be of the prequel nature, and the "Justice League" movies will be now/future. Which I hope is the case for Ben Affleck's Batman. I'll have to see his portrayal in "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice", but at this moment in time I prefer a story with a younger Batman.
Of course, the "hype" and cast side of things plays into it. This is really DC Comics launch of a larger movieverse to if not compete with, than draw comparisons with Marvel's. "Man Of Steel" was first, but this is an all-star line-up and big screen debuts for some fan favorite characters. Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash, Batman, Superman, among other supporting characters. As for the "baddies", we got Lex Luthor and a reincarnated Zod turned Doomsday thus far. And something to do with Darkseid, the scope of his appearance is unknown.
I can't leave out how I hope "Suicide Squad"is a success as well. Perhaps just as much as "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice", as I am somewhat of a Joker and Harley Quinn fan. This will be Jared Leto and Margot Robbie bringing my favorite crazies to life within this movieverse, and I am hoping Leto hurts the egos of the haters really....really....bad. So far, things look great. From the clips I have seen, Margot has owned the role of Harley Quinn. I understand the "ink" arguments with Leto, however if The Joker were real and alive today he would have some ink. Perhaps not as much, but the crazy clown would likely welcome the pain, and the pain of having them removed. And of course repeating the process. The closing argument would be that The Joker's psyche has so many layers, who is anyone to say that this (like those who proceeded him) isn't one of them?

I've been a good boy and took a wait and see approach to all of this. Think Ben Affleck and Jared Leto were the first names to come to mind for Batman and The Joker? Absolutely
not, but have taken like I said the wait and see approach hoping to be rewarded. So far, so good. Just hoping the trailers and ads weren't the high points as it tends to be with some movies.

COMIC BOOK MOVIE STUFF POOR MAN'S STYLE...AND THAT'S OK!

Sure, there are the trailers, tv spots (commercial to talk show) and general merchandise (toys, etc) that come with almost every movie. Occasionally there are collector cups at the theaters or 7-11, but that is about it. At least with "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" coming out soon, there has been some added collector items released for all fans alike, casual to hardcore.

Of course there is the cereal and the collector boxes it comes in. And surprisingly, they aren't bad at all. Personally, Batman (Chocolate Strawberry) is tops with milk, while Superman (Caramel Crunch) is a really good dry snack. And even though it wasn't like the apparent "celeb editions" with capes and mask, the boxes are somewhat visually appealing and displayable. For those who like display their interests.
Another thing has been with Dr. Pepper and collector cans. The set of 5 includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, and Lois Lane. If you haven't tried Dr. Pepper before I would be amazed (if you live in Canada or USA that is), for me is in my Top 3 soft drinks. I haven't collected pop cans since Star Wars Ep. I with Pepsi products, which I don't have anymore due to a period of unemployment and being thirsty haha, but have immediately jumped back into. I am pretty sure my nerdism is exposed when I am trying to spin the cans within the case to see who it is but after getting back to back Lex Luthor's I had no choice. So far I have Bats, Supes, and as mentioned Lex. Just the ladies left to go, and preferably a non-diet can with Superman on it so that my brain doesn't itch.
It will be interesting to see if Suicide Squad gets to join in on the fun later in the year. Hopefully other Justice League characters join in near its release date as well. Although I don't see the cereal expanding beyond Batman and Superman, although possible, it is easy to see the collector cans growing in numbers.

Now perhaps this is the norm in the USA, up here in Canada we tend to get snubbed with things. And these things are awesome as there isn't really a social status things at all (sorry, but the cost of statues and whatnot can be insane).

TRYING TO BLOG

I keep approaching this as if it is an article and not a blog entry. Reason being is I did attempt to make a mini-site combining various blog pages (can find it HERE). The only real difference the replacing "we" with "I". So, since that is how I am supposed to do this part, so be it haha

Not sure what to really write about, often wondering why since majority of todays nerds n geeks use podcasts to get their opinions and thoughts out there. Well, in terms of skills, I rank much higher in written than verbal. Plus, depression is a real biatch and just don't feel like it. Depression, now there is a topic I've never had to discuss in regards to my "nerdism". Usually I am able to use comic books, tv shows, movies, and video games to get out the funk/rut. Not the case as of late. This bout has been something new for me. Quit my job, which is fine except I didn't wait to have another lined up to replace it. To make it worse, I actually planned on growing within the company. But, it just became too much with non-work bullshit mixing in with work bullshit. Only positives are that I was immediately happier, still depressed but better. I no longer had to pick up the slack because of piss poor hiring choices by weak management. Why would I want to be "mentored" by them when I only respect 3 out of 10-11 of them. I liked more than that, but only respected few. Almost made it out onto the sales floor, but couldn't hold on passed the agreed 3 week mark. And when someone wants out of an area, what moron gives them even more shifts than normal in that area? Ah well, I am rambling about none important stuff and  life goes on. Another job will come about. Has to, "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" comes out in a month. Need money to go see that with my woman and oldest daughter. Who I absolutely must take, as she wasn't old enough to join for "Deadpool". Which is okay by me, as some scenes would have been awkward watching beside my kid haha

There are quite a few movies coming out for my comic book family to watch this year. Some will be in theaters, but some will also be a "wait for it on Blu-Ray" viewing. Will definitely be going to see "Suicide Squad" in theaters. Big Mr. J fan and have been waiting since "The Dark Knight" for his character to return to the big screen. And of course to see, Harley Quinn making her live action movie debut. Margot Robbie looks and sounds great to me. Hot to be honest, which makes for another awkward thing for me as I named my youngest Harleigh Quinn (fem version and looks prettier). And anytime I point to a picture or clip of Harley Quinn (any version) and ask who that is she replies, "That's Me!" haha
On the fence about going to see on the big screen is "Captain America: Civil War". Looks amazing, but not really a fan of going to the movies. Loud people talking and eating. Kids. Bad seating. Crowded. On a good day it isn't like this though and I do enjoy things until I have to pee and don't want to miss anything haha
Might make a date night out of seeing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". May only be because of the cartoon and movies, but it is one of the few comic book things she actually likes on her own haha
Everything else coming out like "X-Men: Apocalypse", "Gambit", and "Dr. Strange" will be viewed a la Blu-Ray whenever they come out. Don't have much hope for X-Men universe, except for "Deadpool" (obviously) so in no rush to see any of them.

Then it will be a wait for 2017 kind of thing with "Justice League Part 1", "Wonder Woman", and "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2" coming out. God I hope "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" is as good as I hope.
Fantastic 4 2? This got a green light? hahahahaha
