Giving Up on Comic Book FanBoy Culture

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have been away for a while. I have decided to give up on writing my own superhero movie-- after doing research on how Movies are written and developed, I am never going to get my screenplay made. Just view this documentary: Dreams on Spec. So, its never going to happen.

I have never really been a comic book fan-- but these fanboys are all over the place in America.. and man they scare the hell out of me. Just check out ComicCon, hundreds of these Comic Book fanboys go there and just talk about these fictional characters over and over. I just saw one the other day while I was in the mall-- he was checking out comic books at Borders and talking to the store worker about how he loves the latest Wolverine Comic. I was like "Holy Crap" if I continue down this fanboy culutre that's how I am going to end up like, alone with tons of comics, unopened action figures, all kinds of gaming systems from XBOX 360 to Playstation 3, having nothing to do in my spare time except collecting comics, playing games and just wasting away in a sad and lonely world of fantasy-- all while talking about how great the original Star Wars is. The very thought of that creeps the hell out of me.

So this is it, I am done with Fanboy Culutre as of now. Now I am interested in finshing undergrad, getting a job and proving the evidence of Islam to everyone. So long Comic Books, Video Games and Movies. Its time to put childish things aside.

SuperHeroes: The New Obession In HollyWood

There was a time when nobody wanted to do a "comic book" movie. Back in the day, these type of movies were frowned upon. Now every summer you get a new comic book movie. In 2000 We had X-men. Then we had Spider-Man in 2002. X-Men 2 and Hulk in 2003. Spider-Man 2 and The Punisher in 2004. 2005 we saw a new and rebooted Batman series called Batman Begins as well as the stinker Fantastic Four. In 2006 we saw X-Men 3 as well the boring Superman Returns. Then in 2007 we got the disappointing Spider-Man 3 as well as Fantastic Four 2 (this killed the series). Last year in 2008, We got at least four comic book based movies as well as a new Superhero movie. In 2008 we saw Hellboy 2, The Dark Knight, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and finally Hancock (I'll get to Hancock in a minute). And this year we get stuff like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Watchmen, etc.

Millions of Americans see these movies. Comic Book Nerds and Geeks (there are literally millions of them in this country) and even people who never read a comic book in their entire lives see go to see this shit. It's good fun, special effects, shit blowing up, good guys vs the bad guys, etc. But what really makes me want to write my own Superhero Movie is the story of how the Will Smith superhero movie Hancock was made.

In 1996 a new comer screenwriter, Vy Vincent Ngo called a very dark story called Tonight, He Comes. The story about a sad and lonely Superman called Hancock was extremely well written, and everyone in Hollywood wanted to buy it. Finally in 2002 the script was sold. And know how much Mr.Ngo was paid? 4 Million dollars. Of course Hollywood compeltley ruined the screenplay-- and the adult superhero flik Tonight, He Comes became the train wreck of Hancock.

But this got me thinking-- what if I wrote my own superhero screenplay? Would I get paid the same amount if it was really good? Would it get made? That would be awesome if some producer or studio decided to buy my script-- but anways I am going to write a superhero movie. Its going to be called Tonight, Its Going To Be Epic. Hopefully then some hot shot producer would buy the screenplay or story rights and this will be made into a real movie (I wish). During the summer I will post the story in five parts. And if someone steals my idea-- so what-- at least it'll be made into a movie lol!!

1.) Spider-Man 2

2.) Tonight, He Comes

3.) The Dark Knight

4.) Batman Begins

5.) Iron Man

6.) X-Men 2
