I yell in my sleep,

“Thunder-Thunder-Thundercats!”

My roommate hates me.

Don't blame me for not

knowing what you mean. You do

not have thought bubbles.

You misread the die.

He clearly rolled a twenty.

Bad Dungeon Master!

I think it's funny,

you laugh for the wrong reason.

Ironic T-shirt.

You still use Hotmail,

and you ate my Hot Pocket.

You're a bad roommate.

Yeah? Well, you know what?

I'd still hate your stupid face

over on Earth-2.

Romulans? Um, no.

Ever hear of the Borg, jerk?

Why do we hang out?

You misspoke when you

said Iron Man was a droid.

Effing idiot.

Your words can't hurt me.

Neither can your sticks and stones.

Adamantium.

What are you doing,

Dave? Dave? What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Hanging with my friends,

but thanks to the Internet

I'm still all alone!

There is nothing like

watching movies with friends on

MST3K.

Superman
made me

believe a man can fly and

dams can fall apart.

Will give it a shot,

but if the film sucks I will

so blog about it.

Camped out at theater

overnight. Twenty bucks for

IMAX. Please don't suck.

Waited in line for

two
days for these seats, lady.

Shut that baby up!

RealD glasses don't

fit over my prescription.

I'm stuck with 2D.

Not how it happened,

origin story altered.

Adaptations. Ugh.

The trilogy just

ended. Now there's a new one?

Reboot
this,
asshole.

Chronologically

X-Men: First Class
doesn't work

as a true prequel.

Though kind of clunky,

mechanical web shooters

really do make sense.

The blond or redhead?

For a nerd, Peter Parker

has some tough choices.

The red pill or blue?

The real choice should have been to

stop after one film.

Not stalking you, but

the sequels were really bad,

and you should know it.

Milla Jovovich

makes anything watchable.

Resident Evil.

No cash to spare, but

I'll buy whatever is up

for Kate Beckinsale.

There's something so right

about a movie as wrong

as
Starship Troopers.

The day after a

Chris Nolan premiere should be

a nerd holiday.

Dead before its time.

Oh, Paramount, why did you

Deep Space Nine
my heart?

Basic cable's fine.

All I need are G4 and

The Big Bang Theory.

BBCA is

to Syfy as chips are to

fries. Hail, Britannia!

Thought I'd seen it all,

but Blu-ray proved me wrong. The

saga is complete.

Wrote a brilliant book.

No one sees the subtlety.

Klingon's hard to get.
