The Dark Knight CNBC decribes what a "FANBOY" is! And yes there's a bit of TDK in it too!

anita weren't you like first in line for the screening?

I'm a chick! I must protest their sexism!

...I only match their intellectual stuff though, kinda. I could tell you which movie was which even though I don't actually watch all that many movies. And I definitely don't 'have the space nor funds for lots of loot.

I'm a member of the XX chromosome demographic as well, and I've got to say, it's a tricky distinction to make -- fanboy and fangirl essentially denote the same thing (aside from the gender difference, of course), but they connote very different things. So if I act like a fanboy, but am not, in fact, a boy, just where does the distinction lie?








Oh, and PS, adorable Stephen Colbert avvy Anita. :heart: I miss him so much.

"Oh you" (giggles)

Points if you can name the reference.

I got there at 4pm with my coworker, and I think we were barely within the first 100 people. There was someone in the LA showing thread who claimed they were gonna be there at noon. Hells no we're not THAT crazy. Coworker wasn't even sure why he was there, since he kinda wanted to see IAL anyway. I'm not in the least bit interested so I wanted to save $13 and be a fangirl for once.

I'm pretty much a tomboy. I don't act like a guy, and I don't act all girly either. I'm solidly in between the two. So that's the distinction for me.

Me too!

 

[CaptainClown]

well anita I haven't met you but in my book your a fanboy... fanperson

 

[BubbaGump]

That would make you Christopher Robin.

What I miss?!?!?!

 

[CaptainClown]

Nothing, I have been sputtering up nonsense apparently.

 

[CARNAGE-COMETH]

Man!! You Guys are Posers! Man..I was fanboy before it was even cool to be fanboy!

pffft

I still have my Johnny Quest bed sheets and a buddy pillow of the New Kids On The Block.

 

[LibraryKrystal]

Hmm... "Fanperson." Just doesn't have the ring to it...

 

[CaptainClown]

well we all know women aren't people so ya fan person isn't quite right either


just kidding
I think Nerds covers us all quite well

 

[LibraryKrystal]

Nerds does, true dat.

Unless... fansuccubi? lol

t:

 

[CaptainClown]

funny. I did think fan succubi but ya not all nerd girls can qualify there

 

[LibraryKrystal]

Yes, true... And it's gotta be damn difficult to qualify as a succubus anyway... you know, all that not-being-human stuff. I think I'll just stay human and still be awesome... like Batman. lol.

 

[CaptainClown]

wait batman is a man? Wasn't he like bitten by a radioactive bat or something? Like thats why he doesn't go out in the day right?

 

[LibraryKrystal]

haha, you sound like a fangirl. :P

 

[CaptainClown]

...
the curse of being a fanboy or nerd or whatever is when someone thinks you aren't that into the hype and explains it to you like you have no idea whats going on. What is worse when you are trying to explain why you are so excited over these photos they look at you like a raving lunatic which is quite often with me

 

[LibraryKrystal]

I think I understand... In my case, I generally find that when I meet new people they initially don't expect me to be a nerd over Batman because I don't necessarily look like the stereotype. So, it is often assumed I don't know about this type of thing, when in fact I am more into this than any guy I know.

 

[CaptainClown]

Well I had two incidents where people tried to explain batman lore to me and this whole Viral campaign. It was kind of awkward since I was going to correct him on everything that happened. I don't look the part either well except when I wear a batman shirt

 

[LibraryKrystal]

That sucks, but there's really nothing you can do about it.

...Unless you wear Joker makeup all the time. I bet then folks will assume you're completely in the know. Haha.
