I declare this blog officially OPEN

Let me just say right now, I have the greatest repect for those hardworking Vloggers who gave me the inspiration to do this. Spoony, Nostalgia Critic, this one's for you guys.

And on with the show. Basically, as a hardworking geek, I have a great love of the things that society ignores; comic books, video games and wargames/RPGs in particular.
One of the things I've noticed during my life (in relation to this, of course) is that, whenever a comic-book film or game-film gets made, one of two things will happen. Either the resultant film will be a pinnacle of excellence (a la Batman Begins or The Dark Knight) or it will be depressingly, soul-drainingly awful. I'm looking at YOU, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And it's the second category I hate the most. The example turd film (which I loathe too much to name a second time) is basically guilty of the most abominable crimes against Humanity. It totally disregarded Marvel's mythos and background plot, instead making up some shit that never actually happened, and raped - I must repeat the word - RAPED the character of Wolverine mercilessly.
RAAAAAAARG.
Anyway, so in response to such vile deeds, I felt I needed to speak out.
Of course, if I post my thoughts on too many bad films, I may well have a psychotic epsiode, so I will also tell ye the tales of the films I loved. That way, I stay sane.
First "proper" post - this one doesn't count 'cause I'm introducing my good self - will take care of the Watchmen film.
...enjoy.
