“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.

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.

Before you laugh at me, let’s be clear about this being just a theoretical question. We all know that zombies are not going to overrun the planet and that the world will actually end when the robots take over. So let’s just pretend that zombies are indeed going to show up to end the world as we know it. That being said, imagine yourself running around, looking for a safe haven in a world gone mad. You suddenly find yourself in a sticky situation and BAM! You’re bitten by a zombie. You manage to escape but the fact still remains — it’s only a matter of time before you turn into one of the living dead. What would you do?

AWAAARD!

I went to see Zombadings 1: Patayin Sa Shokot Si Remington expecting an honest-to-goodness Filipino zombie movie. In this particular aspect, as a rabid zombie movie fan, I was mildly disappointed since it barely contains actual zombie action. Other than that, I think it’s a brilliant film that needs to be the opening salvo of a new age of entertaining and commercially successful Filipino movies. We need more movies like it and I can give you 3 reasons why.

1. It’s an indie film with mass appeal. When was the last time that a Filipino indie movie outshined other movies from big studios (local and foreign)? The amount of buzz at the malls — not just in the cinema areas — made me scratch my head in awe. “What the hell is going on here?” I asked myself. And then I saw the film and I was like “Ohhh.” I can’t remember the last time I went to the restroom after seeing a movie and heard dudes raving about the film like they just saw a leaked version of the Avengers movie (FROM THE FUTURE!) or something. We need more Filipino movies that generate buzz and genuine excitement within all classes. Filipino indie films was never my niche so when something like this wrangles my attention, I know that it’s not your usual pretentious project from the indies.

I recently saw all 5 Return of the Living Dead movies in succession. My Internet-honed logic tells me that I am now an expert in watching the Return of the Living Dead movies. That being said, let me walk you through the 5-movie zombiefest so you will be properly guided. Let us start with the original movie conveniently titled “The Return of the Living Dead”.

You need to be in a party mood when watching this zombie movie classic because it will pound you with slapstick comedy and punk rock. Expect to laugh at everything from the goofy zombies — including a midget — to the fashion of the times. Hey, it was the 80′s. Speaking of kids, make sure none of them are watching this with you because there is cursing and some nudity involved. Watch this at night for some good scares, but there’s not enough to reduce you to a flaming pile of heart attack. Good times all around.

No, this is not about Halloween or All Saints Day, but it is appropriate since Halloween and All Saints Day are a few days away. This is about the dead, yes. Specifically, me. See, a year ago, I wrote a sappy blog entry called A Book Called Trouble. I talked about writing a book about a girl, the last chapter dedicated to the many ways she kills me every single day. Now feels like the right time to outline this last chapter. It seems certain that no more chapters will be written. This is going to be another sappy blog entry, so if you don’t feel like reading something that could make you barf, get out. GET OUT NOW.

Still here? Awkward. And now, let me tell you about the many ways that I’ve died at the hands of the girl called Trouble.
