If there’s one week in 2007 that I should consider the bitchiest muthafucka week in the history of all bitchy muthafucka weeks, it has to be last week. Seriously. My annual depression attack arrived just when I was starting to be pwned at work, and the screwy weather ravaged my health, leading to a sick leave last Monday. It was Hell, I tells ya! But if there’s one bright spot in the past week, that’s last Wednesday when I dropped by the 6-9 Show with CJ and Sarah to get my copy of the Smallville Season 6 DVD set. That was indeed one happy moment for the geek in me. And I think the DVD set was also happy joining my DVD collection. I think.

Although I hate Bryan Singer (don’t ask), I love documentaries. Especially if it’s about comics. I thought long and hard about getting this documentary about Superman, and I finally gave in. I mean, come on. It’s Superman.

OK I’m starting another stupid “series” again, and this time, it’s all about DVDs. In my Weekly Haul series, I talk about my most recent comic book purchases. For this new series, I’m going to talk about my recent DVD purchases, and I’d like to call it *drumroll* DVD Library! I am so creative.

I shall start with a movie that took more than 10 months before I saw it. A movie that took more than a decade to finally push through. A movie that’s supposed to be the biggest and greatest comic book movie of our time, but sadly became another would-be usurper to Spider-Man’s throne. I’m talking about Superman Returns.

The Story: I’m just satisfied and not blown away. I’m also mildly irritated since they say the first Superman movie is a pseudo-prologue of this movie. That’s a confusing statement. I just wish they didn’t say that and instead, started from scratch like Batman Begins. They could’ve still paid homage to Richard Donner’s movie by putting in sly nods to it, instead of dwelling on it too much. And the kid! The goddamn kid. Don’t get me wrong, the kid’s a nice addition to the mythos, and a great source of drama for the characters, but it just feels so wrong. And I’d like to hear Bryan Singer explain how the hell did it exactly happen. You do not tug on Superman’s cape, and you do not give him a bastard son!

In this, the second part of Baddie Bookmarks, I share to you the websites that save me during idle time. Sites that entertain, inspire, and boggle my simple and frail mind. These sites keep me busy and smiling when the emo meter hits a critical juncture. These sites give me pleasure, and there’s nothing I like more than pleasure. Hedonists reprezent, yo!

The Onion. Before I discovered the joy of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, I enjoyed the irreverent “news source” called The Onion. From dumb stories about America’s dumb leader, to quirky “human condition” tales of the local man, this is comedy gold for the thinking dickhead. Finest indeed.
