superhero weekend

Am about to OD on superheroes this weekend - saw Hellboy on dvd, finally got around to Spider-man 2 at the movies, and they're showing X-Men on tv right now. Hellboy was fine, but I liked the comic better. Spidey was all right, it was nice to see Doc Ock with a decent haircut and glasses. Coincidentally, the superhero theme continued on my usual non-comic websites. Like Talking Cock and Campus Capers. Check them out, it's funny.

And I wrote this sometime ago:

Ten signs you are a comic book geek
1) You know the difference between Earth 1, Earth 2 and Earth 3. Sidenote: This reminds me of a philosophical argument we had to do, about mutiple earths (water and twater). Nuff said.
2) You have a secret superhero/villain identity.
3) You are the comic shop guy from the simpsons, or know someone like him.
4) You know how many times Jean Grey/Phoenix has died.
5) Having already tried with all your friends, you try to convert jehovah witnesses to comics. And succeed.
6) You can spot Stan Lee in all the cameos he's made.
7) Mylar.
8) You know the orgin of every comic book character ever created, their brother/sister/partner/pet dog but can't remember your neighbour's name.
9) You poke holes in movie adaptations.
10) You can locate Gotham City, Metropolis and Genosha on a map.
