About healed1337

I am a relatively new comic book fan writing this blog for other new comic book fans and/or people who are interested in comics but don't know where to start. I've always been interested in writing, to the point where I have a college Creative Writing Certificate and I'm currently a year 2 Journalism student. I also have another blog where I mostly make fun of bad movies - www.healed1337.blogspot.com As for how I got into comics, I've always had a passing interest in superheroes: most notably Batman, Spider-man and the X-Men. Until February of 2011 (I think,) my only experience with any of these franchises came from the movies and video games. Shortly after I bought Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 however, I decided to check out X-23, Wolverine's female clone. I ended up reading her Innocence Lost origin story and enjoyed it. From there, I started reading various X-Men comics and it quickly exploded into my newest hobby. My other interests/hobbies include video games, movies, music, playing sports, my dogs and weird news.

British Comedy month 3 – In Bruges

Normally I’m not a big fan of black comedies. Sure, individual dark jokes can be hilarious, but when that’s the main focus of a comedy, well … I’d rather watch something that’s more light-hearted if I’m in the mood for … Continue reading

British Comedy Month 2 – Monty Python and the Holy Grail

This here is the main reason I’ve wanted to spend a month looking at British Comedies. Yes, Hot Fuzz was another major reason, but Monty Python and the Holy Grail is, well … Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Released … Continue reading

British Comedy month 1 – Hot Fuzz

I’ve been interested in doing a theme month on British comedies for a while. There’s something unique about British comedy compared to North America comedy that I can’t quite explain, but it often feels more intelligently written compared to North … Continue reading

Box Office Bomb month 4 – Strange World

This blog post could also double as Disney Animated Movies 61, but I think I’m done with being a completionist in that sense. I enjoy doing these theme months enough that I’m no longer going to look at every single … Continue reading

Box Office Bomb month 3 – Waterworld

This post is later than I would like because my thermostat failed over the weekend … right in the middle of a heat wave. Well, it’s fixed now – turns out it was just a blown fuse on my furnace’s … Continue reading

Box Office Bomb month 2 – John Carter

Not all box office bombs are bad movies. Some are actually quite good, and were just either too ambitious for their own good, or suffered from terrible marketing. Some, like Blade Runner, were misunderstood masterpieces that have since become very … Continue reading

Box Office Bomb month 1 – Oogieloves

This movie is actually the main inspiration behind me wanting to do a theme month on box office bombs. Everything about this movie, from its very conception, to tossing in a number of well-known celebrities, to the insane budget, begs … Continue reading

Bad Movies 9 – Howard the Duck

This blog post is late for several reasons. One, the first movie I watched didn’t turn out to be as hilariously bad as I hoped. It was just … boring. Two, even the second movie I watched wasn’t quite hilariously … Continue reading

Hilariously Bad Movies 8 – Manos: The Hands of Fate

Sorry for this post being a few days later than normal. I had a busy weekend. Even in the realm of bad movies, there are very few that can easily be compared to Manos: The Hands of Fate. Very few … Continue reading
