10 things to do when watching comic book and tv show adaptations on the bigscreen

Seeing that I am watching DOTM tonite here is my advice on how to have a fun experience watching comic book movies

1. lower your expectations (lower them as much as u can if ur a fanboy of the franchise the movie is being adapted from, if your a hardcore fanboy really and I mean lower your expectations to rock bottom)
2. if you can't do number 1 then come drunk trust me if it sucks might as well numb the pain
3. bring someone who has no clue about the franchise itself (they will be asking a lot of questions and will make u feel like a genius) I REPEAT DO NOT BRING A TROLL
4. the more the merrier, bring more than one friend (preferably fans seeing you don't want to be asked question by a lot of ppl it will get annoying)
5. wear something comfortable (trust me if its a long ass movie u dont want to be wearing tight jeans you will chaffe lol (not based on personal experience lol)
6. don't bring your girlfriend (chances are she is not used to your fanboy personality yet dont show it to her during the movies, you will not get laid if you burst into hardcore fanboy)
*if she's a fan herself just hope shes not a bigger fan than you, i guarantee that she might emasculate you if you say something that isn't canon in the franchise so no b.s.
7. show up early if its a premiere, you do not want to be waiting in the back of the line then get shitty seats (or you can preoorder and get reserved seating apparently they do those now)
8. if waiting in a line up bring a handheld electronic device (ipod, psp, gameboy whatever else your mind can think of)
9. take the back seats but sit on the edge (Why? because more elbow room, you dont have to say excuse me everytime you have to get up, and if your single u get to meet interesting ppl who try to get by u, you get to meet new friends or a soon to be gf lol)
10. if the movie looks like it sucks dont pay to watch it get someone else to pay for you. SHITTY MOVIES ARE ALWAYS FUN WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO SEE IT.

Bored

Its 2:49am in the morning and I have no idea what I want to do. I might have insomnia or i could be a vampire who knows but
Yes I am clearly bored, I should be sleeping but I can't seem to get myself to do it.
I've been passing the time by taking full advantage of netflix while it's still free via
the PSN. Watched the entire Genesis of Aquarion anime as well as Darker than Black.
These two anime are AWESOME!!!!! Normally I would space out watching an entire series but hey
I have a lot of spare time in my hands.

If the postal service strike here in Canada wasn't happening I would have gotten several figuarts and figmas already but sadly the strike is still going on so I dont know when I will get my figures... sigh =(

But I did manage to get my hands on a few things at my local comicbook store as well as walmart and superstore

heres a pic



Yeah I got lucky and found a DOTM Shockwave, my bro picked one up for me while he was in the States, Cybertronian Soundwave and the Blur figure I picked up at Walmart.
The DBZ Gotenks is a funny buy, I was on skype with wheelchair21 and Juan and they were talking about DBZ and Toywiz and the pricing I had just returned from Comicland (5 min drive from my house) and talked about this I remember seeing this figure and remembered that the store had a sale for this item at 50% off the sticker price (which was $8.00 CAD) so i ended up buying this for like $4.00 CAD LOL and toywiz is selling it at $49.99 and apparently this is one of the harder figures to get based on what I've checked =)

So its a decent haul while the post office is on strike, so really nothing else Im done ranting now. good night all, well technically its morning but hey this is coming from the guy who hasn't slept for 24 hours lol oh well

Random thoughts

It's 2:54am in the morning and I have nothing to do might as well post something seeing i just started my blog tonight

I was thinking about what got me into tokusatsu and the whole figure collecting hobby.
When I was a kid i was heavily influenced by tokusatsu/Super Sentai back when I was in the Philippines. If i recall correctly the first tokusatsu/Super Sentai I ever saw was Fiveman and Kamen Rider Black. The thing about Toku in the Philippines is that they dub the series so no subtitles back then (I feel really old even reminiscing about this lol)but those series were great
Oddly enough I actually had the mechas for Fiveman, Turboranger ( i miss those mecha ) Then When power rangers got popular I managed to collect every single figure as well as Zord up till the season with the Shogunzords. After that I came to Canada and didnt really pay attention to MMPR or Kamen Rider for a few years up till May last year, when I joined the cstoys chat.

THEN HELL'S GATES OPENED

To put it simply i went into toku overload I started with Kamen Rider Kabuto and worked my way through all the hesei riders. Then I saw a few figure reviews besides the demos from cstoys then my collection just exploded I would start and list my collection but it would take a awhile to list and i might just make a separate page to list them all. but heres a quick vlog (another old one) thats shows what I have

First Video for the blog

I finally decided to start my blog, seeing that I have a lot of spare time I decided to use this vlog as the first video I am putting on the blog. Its just a vid with my haul that day along with a guest appearance of my dog kahlua. Check out the channel too while your at it
