In FF #13, when asked by Valeria Richards how he can be sure that he will not die in the face of certain death at the hands of cosmic forces, this is Dr. Doom’s response:
He will not die because he is DOOM, Destroyer of Worlds. This kind of confidence is what I’m bringing into the new year.
“The Best of” is kind of an overstatement but shut up, it’s my blog. I feel like I’ve lost my blogging mojo — if I ever had such a thing — in the past couple of years but I think in 2011, I got some of it back. I’m actually proud of a number of my blog entries this year. Some of them may have only been read by no more than 20 people but I don’t care. This is the best of Baddieverse in 2011 and you’re going to like it.
10 Things Single People Can Do on the Internet on Valentine’s Day
I’ve spent years without feeling the warm touch of a girlfriend so I consider myself an expert in being single. That’s why I came up with this list that aims to help single people everywhere cope with the bitter cold that is Valentine’s Day.
Sleazy pick-up lines and superheroes are kind of my thing, so I guess nobody was surprised when I came up with this list of superhero pick-up lines.
Ah, the holidays. There’s plenty of fuel for rage during this season like skyrocketing prices, crowded malls and traffic. Jesus Christ, the traffic. For some of us, there’s also the matter of the year ending and the sudden realization that life is as shitty as life was at the end of last year. Let’s not forget about the Apocalypse coming in a few months. That’s a lot of fuel for rage and misery and depression and more rage. But once you find yourself among family, friends and food, it all goes away. Rage goes away. There is only love.
Whatever god you pray to and no matter how crappy your year has been, just know that it will all be better if you are not alone. Nobody should be alone on Christmas or New Year’s. So go eat a sinful amount of food. Go be with your family, including your annoying relatives. Go dick around with your friends, even those questionable ones from the Internet. It’s time to put the rage away. Let love loose and linger.
I don’t want to use the word “perfection” when describing Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol but I’m going to do it anyway: It is perfection.
Brad Bird and his well-choreographed chaos. Tom Cruise and his insane stunts. Jeremy Renner and his “I’m just an analyst. No, I’m kidding. I’m actually an emotionally tortured secret agent who kicks ass. BOO-YAH!” shenanigans. Paula Patton and her sexy vengeance-based intensity. Léa Seydoux and her sexy assassin-y ways. Simon Pegg and his wacky field adventures. PERFECTION.
I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie that literally had me holding my breath. Best action movie of 2011, you guys. And on a final note, Paula Patton can light my fuse anytime.
I have The Glitch Mob remix of the White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army on repeat all morning thanks to the first G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer. I can’t say I’m more excited to see it than I was with the first Joe movie because there’s no Baroness, but hey, it looks a bit less cartoony. It features The Rock, TV Wonder Woman That Never Was, Bruce frickin’ Willis and Fat Channing Tatum. So far, it looks like there’s no goofy comic relief guy. Just the way I like my goofy movies based on ’80s cartoons.
