You know what's stupid? Harry Potter. I don't care for it. Never read the books, can't sit though the movies. But it is one of the few things in Science Fiction/Fantasy that I am not a huge fan of so bashing it is one of my few opportunities to act like I'm somewhat cool.
"Are you really a Harry Potter fan? Seriously? It would be one thing if it was Star Trek, Star wars, Battlestar Galactica, Superman , Batman, Spiderman, The Hulk, X Men, that run of Daredevil comics written by Kevin Smith, Dr. Who, The first few seasons of X-Files, Lord of the Rings, Iron Man, pretty much any movie where someone wears a costume to fight crime, Lost, Heroes, Alien Nation, ET, Mac & Me, Babylon 5, Twilight Zone or Small Wonder."
"But Harry Potter? You need to get a life my man."
Another nerdy thing I don't care for is that show Smallville. In case you haven't heard, it's a show about young Superman where the producers have promised viewers that you will never see him fly or wear the iconic blue and read uniform.
Which is a smart move, because people hate it when Superman does either of those things.
All that flying and dressing like Superman really held the Christopher Reeve movies back.
I want to see superman wearing blue jeans and crocs as he rides a 10 year old Vespa to fight Lex Luthor.
That reminds me, I'm pitching a new cooking show to the food network where you never see a kitchen- or food.
Take that 8 year old show on the CW that no one watches!
My name is Mike Trainor. I do stand-up comedy, write stupid stuff and co-produced and co-host Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio along with College Humor Alum/Pimp Steve Hofstetter. I was featured in Maxim magazine in January of 06, so next time you are in the bathroom pull that issue out from the stack and give it a once over.
