Here
is My Shit, JoBlo!
Hey now,
I’m Cole Rothacker, I live near Philly PA, I am a dude
(not THE Dude, but a dude none the less), and my job is that of a
juvenile delinquent. So let’s begin, right at…

THE
DOOR

So,
right off the bat you can see some neat stuff on my door. A Death
Proof mini-poster, a Blaxploitation style Jackie Brown poster (found
in the JB DVD), a Halo 3 poster, a Jay and Silent Bob bumper
sticker, and some Clerks InAction figure boxes, and various little
things I printed off the internet over the years (Stinkoman, DoVG3,
etc).

THE
BOOKSHELF

Now,
right next to my door is my book shelf, home to dozens of TPB and HB
comics, as well as normal books.

Some
DC stuff, and Bone. My normal comics are hidden in my desk.

And
those normal books, including the “Making of Grindhouse:, The
biographies of Bruce Campbell, Stan Lee, AND Quentin Tarantino, in
that order, Kevin Smith’s books, and a few of my Stephen King
hardbacks (paperbacks not shown)

.

And
on top of all that lies all of my Clerks InAction figures, bought in
various places (Amazon and Wizard World). They include Bartelby,
Loki, Randal, Brodie, Kevin Smith, and Jay and Silent Bob. Sadly I
also have a Spiderman 3 poster. Last time I buy a poster to a movie
I haven’t seen, the exception possibly being The Dark Knight.

Last
on my bookshelf corner lies this Toy Story Litho I got YEARS ago. I
probably got it at a Disney store for a pretty penny, as a gift. I
must have been 5.

THE
DESK

Here’s
where a lot of my cool shit resides.

Right
over the desk, looking down at me as I toil, is what I call my
“Tarantino Wall.” Yes, I’m such a huge fanboy that I dedicated
about 1/3 of this wall to Quentin Tarantino and his films. I got
that big ass poster on Amazon, as well as the Grindhouse and Pulp
Fiction (slightly torn, but I thought it made the poster have more
character, more “pulpy”). The Reservoir Dogs poster I got in
some little knick knack store in

Ocean City
,
NJ

. I like going there because we sometimes pass Bruce Willis’s
neighborhood on the way over.

Here
you see a framed letter I received from Jean Schultz, the wife and
current (I guess) owner of all thing Peanuts and Charlie Brown. You
can see most of the Snoopy Watermark. I love me some funnies.

Now
here are two things I love: A Superman statue and a Batman DOLL (I
can’t use the ol’ “They’re not dolls, their action
figures” excuse) designed by Alex “hyper realistic superhero
painter” Ross. They are obviously designed after their first
appearances in the 30’s. I wish Batman was a statue too, but he
has a bat-a-rang and a flexible cape, so he’s really more like a
GI Joe.

I’m
a huge

South

Park

nerd (seen, literally, every episode). I won that Tweek doll in a
claw grabber (seriously!) and I bought that Cartman ornament in a
Christmas shop in

Canada

.

THE
DVD COLLECTION
—
CLICK PICS TO ENLARGE —

The
meat and potatoes. The reason I exist. All of my movies that I love
so much (except for Ultimate Avengers). Blu-Ray be Damned.

Here
are the top rows of the main rack. The second Rack (to the left of
this one, seen in previous pic), contains all my comic book movies,
zombie movies (I was obsessed when I was 14), comedies, miscellaneous,
and VHS tapes.

Similar
to JoBlo himself, I categorize my movies by director/loose
chronological order. It goes from Kevin Smith, Edgar Wright,
Tarantino/Rodriguez, David Fincher (FC is being borrowed), Spielberg/Zemeckis,
Christopher Nolan (the only comic book movie NOT in the comic book
movie section on the other rack, along with Sin City), Stanley
Kubrick, Sergio Leone, Scorsese, Darabont, Die Hard Trilogy, and the
Pixar Films (Ratatouille is being borrowed as well…I make friends
with moochers). You’ll notice that I put Death Proof before Planet
Terror, and both of those before From Dusk Till Dawn. That’s
because that’s how I see the “Earl McGraw” saga goes, in
order, (KB, DP, PT, and FDTD). Yes, I honestly think about how I
place all my DVDs. I need new hobbies.

The
second row is all Animated TV shows, including nearly all things
Parker/Stone, some Simpsons, Mission Hill, the seasons of Family Guy
that were funny,

Adult
Swim stuff, Beavis and
Butt-head, Afro Samurai, and the Transformers Movie, the “Oh SHIT
what are we gonna do now!?” Version.

THE
BED CORNER

The
penultimate stop on this sad little tour.

Yes,
every morning I get to wake up looking at Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
pimp away from a burning village, armed to the teeth, as well as
Clint, Eli, and Lee. Both of those posters I got at Wizard World
Philly 07. That steel map of

Scotland

I found in an attic, probably because I’m half-Scottish. There’s
also a shitty Bartman mask I got when I was 10 for All Hallow’s
Eve. I hung it up back then because I thought it would look like how
Batman hangs his costumes and stuff in the Batcave.

You
can’t get this anywhere. My Papa painted this for me a couple
years ago. Simple, yet cool. Currently I’m trying to get him to
paint me a picture of Bruce Campbell.

My
Framed rarities Wall. A storyboard segment of that “Feel Good
Inc.” music video (none left in stock), an autographed picture of
“Ed, Edd, ‘n Eddy”, signed by the voice actors who do their
voices (Matt Hill, Sam Vincent, ‘n Mike Sampson, respectively).
They do voice work for tons of other cartoons. Canadian born
cartoon. Also, a bootleg Snoopy wood thing (my Dad got it at a
school fair in 1970).

Also,
you’ll see in that picture are:

A
signed “Oni Presents: Jay and Silent Bob” comic book, signed by
the Snootcher of Bootchies himself, Jason Mewes. Neat, through Six
Degrees of Separation, me and JoBlo are connected, cuz this was
signed by Mewes, whose touched Kevin Smith’s hands many times,
whose shaken the hand of JoBlo. Cool…See what you can learn from
‘LOST’?

And
also:

Signed
by THE HULK hisself, Lou Ferrigno. I don’t know what it says. My
friend thinks it says “To Cole, From Incredible Hulk”, but I
dunno…nice fella though.

LAST
STOP: THE BASEMENT

Here
it is, the last 2 awesome things I own. I’ve literally saved THE
best for last. The first thing is awesome, but the last is
just…Just.

Oh
yes, one of my Ultimate mementos of how great summer 2007 was, aka,
the Summer Judd Apatow saved the Comedy Genre. This thing is 8

Ft.

Tall

, and was quite a hassle to get home (as you can see from the
slightly bent “S”), but I love it. One of the Best Films of
2007.

Last,
but in no way, shape, or form is this least, I give you the best,
most coolest thing I own, in good condition, and one thing any fan
of animation would love. I think this could even beat JoBlo’s
7 Ft. Jack Skellington. I give you…

THE
SIMPSONS COUCH!

Yes,
the very couch you saw in every movie theater all of May and last
Summer, is mine, and mine until I’m nothing more than worm food.
You pretty much can’t get this ANYWHERE. My friend’s mom
bought it for me, for reasons I don’t know. It was bid on for a
month, and eventually she had to pay north of 1,000 greenbacks, but
man, is it worth it. I own a piece of pop culture history in my
garage. You wanna know what’s even better? The movie itself was
awesome. This was brought to my house from my local Regal Eagle, and
by now you’d be pretty hard pressed to find one, as most of these
were shipped back to the manufacturer. The “Simpsons Movie” sign
was taken by the family who bought it for me, so I covered the holes
up with two posters. Just as good.

The
Superbad standee came along with this for free. You can tell I had a
pretty awesome summer. I’ll stop gloating now.

So
there’s My Shit, JoBlo.com. I hope you enjoyed skulking around my
room for a bit, looking at all my good fortunes. Have a great week.
