Reasons why Theoden is my favourite LOTR film character:

1. His voice - Clear, commanding and inspiring. I wanted to charge into battle with him.

2. Grace under pressure - "When last I looked, Théoden, not Aragorn, was king of Rohan." While Aragorn was a key focal point, if you think about it, he was not king of anything yet so if he failed, while all would be lost, he would just fade into obscurity. Meanwhile, Theoden had his forefathers to live up to and his people to inspire...and inspire he did.

3. The beard - Seriously, have you ever seen such a perfectly coiffed and full goatee. It should have been a character onto itself.

4. His armour - Purely my opinion but it was totally boss. Haldir's battle elves were a close second.

5. His dialogue - 'So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate?' I separate this from his actual voice/ability to deliver. His lines/monologues/speeches were IMO the most moving of the films.

Some good points. Especially the beard, in a world full of facial hair his was some of the most kingly.

Bond facts:

1. Although popularly associated with the Aston Martin, Bond's personal car is actually a modified Bentley Continental.

2. Although the first movie, Dr. No is actually the 6th book.

3. The primary nemesis for Bond in the early novels is actually SMERSH (the Russians) and not SPECTRE.

4. Goldeneye is the name of Ian Fleming's Jamaican estate.

5. The novel The Spy Who Loved Me is the only one written from someone else's perspective and Bond does not appear until about halfway through the book.

6. Bond kills Bloefeld in the novel You Only Live Twice.

7. In the novel Casino Royale, it is Baccarat that Bond plays versus Le Chiffre not Texas Hold'em poker. It is also what Bond is playing when we first see him in Dr No although it is referred to as Chemin de Fer which is an early version of Baccarat.

8. "The World is not Enough" is the Bond family motto as stated on its coat of arms. This is revealed in the novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

9. In the novels, Bond is forced to switch to the Walther from his trusted Baretta because of the closing incident at the end of the 5th book, From Russia with Love, where he almost dies.

10. One of my life goals is to properly mix and then consume a Vesper.

Random thoughts on a lazy Sunday:

1. I really don't want a Batman reboot for at least 10 years.

2. IMO, the Punisher as a character has no redeeming value.

3. The Avengers is a great example of a comic movie not having to be Nolan-esque to be fantastic

4. The 70s is one of my favourite movie eras.

5. I am doing my first triathlon and I totally want to put a bat symbol on my wetsuit.

6. The Man of Steel teaser has me intrigued. I love being intrigued.

7. While I love and have read LOTR several times, I didn't really like The Hobbit when I read it.

8. I need some new books to read.

9. I love that my 8 year old has discovered the 60s Batman TV episodes on Youtube.

10. I am very excited about Skyfall.

Fabster at 02:24 PM Jul 22

@JohnL...I have this cool small framed watercolour picture that shows Superman as a small figure flying alone in the sky. The quick scene of him flying in the teaser reminded me of that picture and the lonliness/isolation it implies.

Nite Owl at 02:34 PM Jul 22

As far as the comics go I guess it just depends on whose writing the character. The common misconception on the character is that he's a heroic figure, but if written right he should come across as someone whose kind of unsettling like a Travis Bickle or a John Rambo. Rambo from FIRST BLOOD, not the sequels where he pretty much just became an action hero.

A spoiler free list of what I enjoyed about The Avengers:

1. The pacing - There were no flat moments for me. It was a non-stop ride.

2. The Shield agents were not cannon fodder. I liked that Hill, Coulson and Fury are portrayed as skilled soldiers as opposed to second fiddle fodder beside the heroes.

3. The balance -each of our favourites got a chance to shine. A difficult thing to accomplish.

4. The power of Thor - the one thing that I did not like about the individual Thor film was that I did not feel that you got enough of a sense for how strong/powerful he was independent of his hammer. This is rectified.

5. Similarly for the Hulk - the power level we have been accustomed to in the comics was clearly showcased

6. Cast chemistry - you can see it both on and off camera. It reminded me of what you saw similarly with the Ocean's 11 films.

7. The peril - I liked that the peril was not white-washed. You really got the sense that they needed to overcome something significant.

8. Made for all - I love Batman and particularly I loved The Dark Knight but it took a while before I would let my kids watch it. I loved that the three of us could enjoy The Avengers equally.

9. Black Widow - honestly, I think the movie did a better job of highlighting the importance of the Black Widow better than I have seen in the actual comic books.

10. ...ok, that's all I have...other than how cool are the Avengers LEGO toys??!!??

randychico at 01:12 PM May 09

to answer your question, very cool! I love Lego's answer to IronMan's repulsor boot jets

Current comic book musings, 2nd edition:

1. I love Batman, but he has too many titles.

2. I was skeptical at first but I am really liking Wolverine & the X-Men.

3. Dear Marvel, please stop splitting up Kitty and Colossus. For crying out loud give them a chance!

4. I have never liked the concept of a Robin and Damien Wayne especially. He is supposed to be 10. My son is 10 and you can train him all you want, he is not kicking anyone's ass.

5. The New Avengers has been consistently good. I like the added levity as well as the character mix.

6. Aquaman has been really good but after making another run at it I have dropped both Superman titles.

7. I said this before, Colossus as Juggernaut...great concept, terrible execution.

8. Whether you liked Civil War or not, at least I could get behind the topic of debate. I am not feeling that with the Avengers vs X-Men.

9. I am not liking X-Force at all.

10. Semi-off point, just as I think that you could not portray Batman any better on the big screen than what Christopher Nolan has produced so far, the same goes Joss Whedon's production of The Avengers. It was like one of my comics just came to life...but better.

JohnLocke2342 at 12:08 PM May 08

#1 - Agreed.. way, WAY too many titles. I love Batman as well but how badly can DC milk his name by now?
#2 - same
#6 - same as well, yet I haven't picked up Supes
#10 - I'm inclined to agree, even though we don't know what the future will bring to us. Nolan's Batman movies are borderline perfection and The Avengers is perfect in every way.. it was literally a comic translated to the screen.

Terminal_83 at 07:31 PM May 08

10. I'm very much in agreement with you. WB is going to allegedly return to Batman's fantasy roots, so the reboot so far promises to just be another aping of Tim Burton's style. Which is sad.

JL...it was incredible. I go to Dallas a lot for work so I started going to Mavs games a few years ago (since my Raptors have been terrible) so I got to see a team I am invested in against a team I hate. The anti-LeBron sentiment was palpable.

Ha Laksmikanti, sadly no. Although I do fly BC a lot now, this list is spread over 15 years and through most of it I didn't. I would get in the lounges because I had frequent flyer status. Early on I used to do a lot of trips to California and since Toronto is also a filming hotbed, the odds of seeing someone famous on a flight to LA is pretty high.

Fabster at 02:53 PM Dec 14

Funny, coincidently, I am pretty sure I am looking right at Jaime Pressley right now in the USAir lounge in Charlotte, NC.

Laksmikanti at 02:55 PM Dec 14

There you go! I just got Frecuent Flyer Status on Star Alliance which will allow me to get in the lounges... so let's see what next year could bring me.

2. I could watch a whole movie with just Animal.

3. Amy Adams is a total cutie face.

4. I think I am in love with Rashida Jones. It may be for real.

5. No offense to the cameos but check out this list rom the original Muppet Movie - Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Mel Brooks, James Coburn, Telly Savalas, Madelaine Kahn, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Charles Durning, Elliott Gould, Dom DeLuise, Carol Kane, Cloris Leachman, and Orson Welles

6. Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem needed their own number.

7. Zach Galifianakis makes me laugh.

8. Jack Black does not.

9. My kids have seen the original movie but not the show. I need to rememdy that.

10. I can't help but root for Jason Segel and Jim Parsons.

11. Ending with Mahna, Mahna was perfect. My brother and I used to laugh our asses off riffing on that bit.

4. I loved playing pinball. Real pinball.

Random/Dorky/Embarrassing Facts About Me

1. I fly a lot for work and when I do I pretend I am James Bond.

3. My two tattoos were chosen and inked 11 years apart.

4. I can speak to a large audience at a moment's notice but I am a terrible mingler.

8. I think Natural Born Killers is self indulgent tripe.

I rarely get Canadian Thanksgiving off so I take the US one instead. In honour here is a list of things I am thankful for:

1. My two boys - many of my lists start with them...that is on purpose.

2. CGI and other technical innovations - this advancement in technology is what allows us to have the priviledge of bitching or raving about our favourite being butchered or immortalized respectively

3. Being over 40, healthy and with a full head of hair.

4. Related to the above, George Clooney showing Hollywood how to age gracefully.

5. My honey - she puts up with much - she is beautiful, smart, sexy and fierce

6. My Blackberry - what others see as a weight, I see as something that allows me not to be chained to a desk

7. The holy trinity - Monica Bellucci, Sofia Vergara and Salma Hayek

8. My espresso machine - seriously

9. The Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge - my home away from home

Favorite Toys from My Childhood

1. Tinker Toy - like Lego but with wood dowels of various lengths and wood connection hubs. You had to be really creative.

2. Backgammon - my older brother taught me every game known to man at a young age. This was one of my favourites.

3. GI Joe - I had the red headed one back figurines were sizable

4. Blue Jeep - I think it was a Tonka but I cannot recall. Nothing special about it but I remember it fondly.

5. Magnet hockey - I played tour guide recently and took one of my friends up from the States to the Hockey HOF. They had one of these and it brought back a ton of memories.

6. Billionaire - kind of a Monopoly knock-off.

7. Masterpiece - another board game involving bidding on fine art.

8. Astroblitz - I owe a lot of my problem solving ability to playing all these games with my big brother. Our oldest brother was a bully so we stuck together. This game was an advanced form of Chinese checkers

10. Playing cards in general but Italian cards especially - I played with not just my brother but my parents as well. I stll play with my mom....for money :-)

6. Ludicris is cool

Thanks guys. Honourable mentions for Treebeard and The Witch King of Agmar (because that is a very cool handle).

I did not read the books as a kid and in fact only just read them, along with The Hobbit, just before the Fellowship was released and I fell in love with them. Jackson did an amazing job netting so much material into a cohesive set of films. In particular, the casting was inspired.

Nicknames I've Been Given

1. McFunny - current and my favourite; from a friend of mine because I am always good for a cheap laugh

2. Fub - not really a nickname but what my brother called me when we were kids....he still does.

3. Fabulous - well....because I am :-)

4. SuperFlea - I wrestled in high school as did my big brother. He is twice my size. He was SuperFly....do the math.

5. RNNBYK (Run N Bike) - not really a nickname but my personalized plate. My brother got it for me after I competed in my first Dualthon (run/bike/run)

6. Pigdog - also current. I am a bit of a flirt...apparently.

7. MetroMan - my boss calls me this. I am somewhat fastidious about my clothes.

8. Fabby - a good friend and former employee calls me this...she is the only one allowed to.

9. Fabri (pronounced with an italian accent) - my aunts and uncles call me this

10. That's all I have so I will use this spot to state that Fabster is only used here and that I wish I could change it...sigh.

I could not help but think of Flea from RHCP when I saw your #4. MetroMan sounds like, either, a meticulously stylish superhero, or a videogame character! haha

Fabster at 06:47 PM Jul 02

Ha...I'll take option A of the two.

Fabster created a LIST: almost 2 years ago

My Perfect Woman

1. Must love children...my sons are my priority

2. Curves - not sure this needs elaboration

3. Fit - I don't need someone to run or bike with but they certainly must understand why I do it...and they have to be able to rock a bikini.

4. Touch of Evil - no puritans please; everyone has shades of gray. I prefer those that don't deny it.

5. Quirky - everyone has their "thing"

6. Strong - I want an equal

7. Intelligent - similar to #3. I don't need a chess partner but someone who can frame a sound argument is a must.

8. Loves to laugh - I have seen and lived through too much not to have learned to laugh when I can.

9. Patient - the life I lead is not for everyone

10. No double standards please. I have no time for them.

My beautiful better half meets and exceeds all of the above.

Kitty Green at 10:51 AM May 30

Everything stated here is very well said. Plus, I admire the fact that your list is so down-to-earth, non-superficial and realistic! I especially appreciate your number 4... no one is "that" pure, and I wish people would stop setting the bar up so high where they can't even see that everyone has some type of nuance or flaw. So, thank you. People like yourself give those women out there hope. Great list! :-)

Fabster at 04:57 PM May 30

Thanks. Experience helps. I suspect that list would have been much different at 22...#1 would have been pulse :-)

Fabster created a LIST: about 2 years ago

So I watched American Psycho for the first time and here are the things that I took away from it:

1. Don't brag about your new business cards.

2. Doing crunches in the nude while watching porn is very creepy.

3. May never listen to 80s pop again (not that I do anyway).

4. If you are chasing a hooker with a chainsaw in the nude, you may have lost sight of what is considered socially acceptable behavior.

5. Reese Witherspoon plays an annoying twit well...I am not sure this is a good thing.

6. I was actually cheering for Bale's character when he took the axe to his co-worker.

7. There is nothing better that a finely tailored suit.

8. Go easy on the doodling...yikes.

10 Girly Things About Me...following the crowd

1. I know the difference between Burberry and Prada...I am not sure if that is girly or just stylish :-)

2. I track every pound and bitch about it when I am out of whack.

3. I did karaoke in Korea, was drunk as all get out, and sang "Tiny Dancer" of my own accord.

4. I actually listen.

5. I am protective of my family.

6. I wear colours other than blue and black and brown.

7. I watched the entire series of Sex & the City, understood and enjoyed it...on the flipside I can say the same about The Sopranos.

8. I am fastidious about my appearance.

9. I don't like strip bars (I did date a stripper when I younger but I did not say that I did not like strippers).

10. I pack options when I travel.

Vaginas and buffet in the same sentence? *Cringe* haha

Fabster, this is a great list! And, that whole bit about protecting your family isn't "girly", per se. It's just a universal, compassionate thing to do. :-) Also, actively listening is a great trait to have!!! I think that makes you more of a man to do so. :-D

randychico at 11:21 PM Feb 09

Curious how this girly list kinda made you look more manly haha oh yeah and I'm not too into strip bars either

Fabster at 05:17 AM Feb 10

Regarding #5 KG, you are right of course...I was going for the "lioness and her cubs" type vibe.

Randy, I don't know how that happened...I am about as metrosexual as they come.

Manly things about me...I had to give this a whirl.

1. My kids are my priority. Any man who abdicates the responsibility of his children is not a man at all.

2. Wallcrawler said it best...I love women....but none under 30...not that you are not pretty, it just seems wrong.

3. I believe in chivalry.

4. I love to drive fast.

5. While I like both I would pick The Dark Knight over Titanic every time.

6. Similar to the above with meat versus vegetables.

7. I have hair on my chest...luckily, none on my back.

8. I carry my own fork (a la Joey) and sharing food is not my first instinct.

9. I cannot watch The Bachelor/Bachelorette, etc

10. Touch my face...see what happens...

10 movies that made an impact on me growing up (not in any order).

1. The Three Musketeers - the 70s version with the all star cast. My dad used to work shifts and sometimes take me to movies during the day if I was not in school. It was so epic and set the tone for me loving big movies.

2. The "Carry On" films - my dad took me to a few of them. My first exposure to British slap and tickle humour. I always loved them. Sydney James was always a favourite.

3. The Godfather - a must growing up in an immigrant italian household. I loved not having to read the subtitles.

4. Robin & Marion - because my dad took me (common theme). Sean Connery, Robert Shaw and Audrey Hepburn...says it all.

5. The Man Who Would Be King - Sean Connery and Michael Caine...my dad liked Sean Connery.

6. The Bond films - cool guy flying having adventures around the world. What's not to love? A coindidental bit of life foreshadowing for me.

7. When a Stranger Calls - my brother told this story on a rainy night at my nonna's when I was little. Years later I was home alone when the commercial played....then the phone rang.

8. Raiders of the Lost Ark - the only film we saw together in the theater as an entire family.

9. Superman: The Movie - went to see it with my best friend. First time I saw a movie without parents (they dropped us off and picked us up). The exploding Krypton was very cool.

10. Batman (1966) - I would check our TV guide every week to see if this was playing on one of the local channels we picked up via antenna. If it was and I could not watch it, I would cry. My kids can watch it anytime they want on DVD and refer to it as the colourful Batman.

randychico at 09:22 AM Nov 27

Did you get a chance to check out the remake of When a Stranger Calls? Cuz I hope you didnt... Awesome list

Fabster at 06:55 AM Nov 28

Ten Things You Didn't Know About Me

1. I have a degree in Math but if you ask me to add something quickly, fingers will likely be used.

2. My brothers are 6'2" and 6'5". I am 5'8". Same parents.

3. I had to list all the countries I have been to in the last 10 years for my Indian Visa application. I needed a lot more space than they provided.

4. JoBlo.com is the first site I go to in the morning while having coffee.

5. When playing role playing games on my laptop or my 360, I can never bring myself to playing as a villian.

6. As a kid, I wanted to be Batman when I grew up...still do.

7. I love Coke Slurpees...it has to be Coke.

8. I bought my son his first Batman Lego set when he was only 3...I totally wanted to play with it.

9. Have two tattoos and am contemplating a third but have never ever wanted to pierce anything.

10. I have dual climate control in my car. The two temps have to be the same or I get edgy despite the fact they can be different is the whole point.
