I learned something earlier today that actually made me gasp.
Mickey Rooney is dead.
The first time I ever saw Mickey Rooney was in a Disney Channel Original Movie called Phantom of the Megaplex, where he played a man who, if I recalled correctly, loved old movies a lot and acted like he worked there, though he really didn't. For a while, it seemed that he might have been behind everything, but the whole time I was watching I didn't believe that simply because he was so nice. And I was right.
Perhaps, looking back, it was because I recognized his voice. Mickey Rooney was in Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, as Flip the Clown.
Ironically, looking at the list of films he did, there's a lot he was in that I have, in fact, seen, but, at the time I watched them, I had no idea who he was. So these two will remain, in a way, my "firsts" of him; the first time I saw him, and the first time I heard him that I would be able to easily recall.
Prior to his death, he was filming scenes for Night at the Museum 3, though what they will do now is unknown. Perhaps it says something, however, that he was working to the last.
Mickey was also great friends with Judy Garland. He once said, "Judy and I were so close we could've come from the same womb. We weren't like brothers or sisters but there was no love affair there; there was more than a love affair. It's very, very difficult to explain the depths of our love for each other. It was so special. It was a forever love. Judy, as we speak, has not passed away. She's always with me in every heartbeat of my body."
With this, and everything else I've seen just by watching his films, in my mind, Mickey Rooney will always remain a passionate man who hopefully enjoyed every role he ever had, had a great sense of humor, whose career in film spans decades.
I always said that, if Mickey Rooney died, he would be one of the ones I would react to. And I was right.
So goodbye and good night, say hi to Judy for us, because she is for sure waiting for you.
And know this, with every film people watch, you too, will never really pass away.
From the mourning heart of a fan, I love you, Mickey Rooney.

Return from C2E2
So I got back from C2E2 a couple hours ago and it was awesome! I got autographs from Burt Ward and Julie Newmar and Ron Perlman and Jill Thompson!
I got photos with all of them, and I went to the Pirates Q&A and I got to ask them questions! If it turns up on YouTube, send me a link and I can tell you which one is me!
I got a decent amount of swag, got photos with cosplayers, saw lots of cool stuff.
Of course, our hotel sucked. Six girls in one room with two beds. The first night one girl slept on the floor and the other slept in the bathtub. We all bonded though.
And because I really want to show it off, I've decided to finally post a pic
So Much Geek Out
So, my comic club is going to this convention in Chicago called C2E2. I'm pretty excited, since it's my first comic convention.
Initially, I was most excited about meeting Jill Thompson, creator of Scary Godmother and the writer and artist for the manga "Death: At Death's Door", which is basically The Sandman comic, "Seasons of Mists" only centered around Death and not dream, and is how I learned about Neil Gaiman's The Sandman comics.
Next, Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar, of 1960s live action Batman fame. I watched the show when I was really young, even, I think before Batman: The Animated Series, so it's possible that show was my

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
So, my parents came to visit me at college and we went to see Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
This movie is right there with Quest for Camelot as one of those movies that I can find problems with, such as plot and certain scenes, as well as things that I just kinda question, and yet I like any way.
See, a couple days ago I watch Dredd, another R-rated movie. While it was good, at times it felt like they may have been trying too hard, whether it was to make it better than the last one, or just to prove that they could. There were slow motions scenes that, when they started, I thought were beautifully done, but with some of them I started t
