Me: OH THANK GOD

Happy 10 year anniversary to The Dark Knight.  🦇 🦇 What is your favorite era of Batman?

Diamond Encounters of the Celeb Kind 1: Michael Rooker What do I do when I'm too tired to study but not ready to sleep? I write stuff! Happy Thursday readers! I've wanted to do this idea for a while so I'm starting here. Friends, I have been to my fair share of Comic-Cons and Everfrees, and in the process bulked up my celebrity autograph collection. Each celebrity I've met has been a little different, so I'm compiling some of the memorable ones to share with you. With "Avengers: Infinity War" on the horizon, I thought I'd start with a Marvel personality known as Michael Rooker. He plays Yondu in "Guardians of the Galaxy!" I met him at Emerald City Comic-Con 2017. When I saw he (along with Sean Gunn, his first mate Kraglin) would be in Seattle (my area of the woods), I thought I'd go meet them because "Guardians Vol. 2" would be released soon and thus the autograph prices would be jacked up. I didn't get Sean's autograph, though he plays a role in my story. The day I went to see Rooker, the line wasn't too long compared to some of the other lines around me. For those who haven't been to a convention of this sort, let me paint a picture for you: The celebrity in question has a table and assistant. The curtain behind them has their face and a stack of headshots and promotional shots from movies/TV/whatever sits on the table. When the celebrity arrives to the scheduled signing, they emerge from behind the curtain (there are hallways connected to other rooms behind them). A few people arrived (including Mr. Gunn at the adjacent table) as I waited, so I thought nothing out of the ordinary would happen. Oh, I was wrong. Yondu does not emerge from a frilly curtain. Yondu barges right down the middle of the line to announce his appearance. (Politely, of course. Everyone moved and cheered when he arrived.) Sean was not pleased about this. He encouraged his (shorter) line to boo Rooker. And for his actions, he got a (fake) punch to the gut from Rooker. When I reached the front, I paid the table assistant and picked a nice screencap of Yondu from the first "Guardians" movie. Rooker was dressed casually, a polo shirt with a fedora and sunglasses. He warmly greeted me. "Hello, young lady!" I introduced myself and he chose a Sharpie to sign with. (Celebs usually have multiple Sharpies in case one color isn't readily visible on a headshot.) Before he put his Sharpie to the paper, he stopped. "Hold on a second, sweetheart." he said. "I need to clean my glasses." I was happy to wait. He took off his sunglasses, grabbed a cloth on the table, and began polishing the lenses. He then turned to his assistant and said in a mildly hushed voice: "I just don't get how people can see out of glasses with fingerprints and stuff! I can't do it! How the fuck can anyone see out of this shit?!" I laughed as he turned back to me and put the newly-cleaned sunglasses back on. "Sorry about that, sweetheart." he said. He swapped the cloth for the Sharpie and got ready to sign. Before he could put the Sharpie to the picture (again), he looked at my glasses, back to the picture, and back at me. Then he picked up the cloth again and started nearing it to no face. "Here, let me get that for you!" The whole line, the assistant, and SEAN GUNN burst out laughing. Of course, he didn't actually touch me (a big no-no). He quickly backed off with a "Just kidding!". He finally signed my headshot and sent me on my merry way. That was an experience I won't forget soon. Thanks for reading the first installment of Diamond Encounters of the Celeb Kind! I might do this again soon. I might not. I'll do what I feel like. Pone Reviews is back on Saturday. Diamond out!
