Man, the director’s cut of The Graduate sure is different than the original.
38 thoughts on “ROM Spaceknight Will Straight Up Ruin Your Wedding”
We need a movie where ROM stands outside a girl’s window holding a boombox over his head in the rain.
I don’t know what ROM is so upset about. From everything I’ve heard, Brandy is a fine girl who would make a good wife.
“Ruin” your wedding? Or “MAKE IT THE MOST AWESOME WEDDING EVER!?” I wonder what he’d charge to smash in the doors to the church and neutralize a few in-laws, um, I mean Dire Wraiths who LOOK like in-laws…yup…
Which room in the church is the KAV room?
You’ve got opposable thumbs, man — use the doorknob.
Oh man, injecting ROM into classic coming of age movies would be AWESOME.
Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong, but we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us… In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain…
and an athlete…
and a basket case…
a princess…
and a Spaceknight…
Sincerely Yours,
The Breakfast Club
What’s your last name?
Dong.
What’s your first name?
Long.
What’s your middle name?
ROM.
bookrats, are you honestly saying that, if you could, you would not smash through all doors, walls and weddings that stand in you way?
I have my doubts.
Come back Rom, we need a hero more now than ever.
That’s how Frank Cho should have ended Liberty Meadows.
I would have paid cash moneys for this to have happened at my wedding.
Bravo to the whole John Hughes Brigade.
ROM, don’t embarrass yourself. It’s over. It’s been over. I was going through a Spaceknight phase but that period of my life is over.
I know how you feel about gay marriage but Wendy loves me and I love her. You can’t stop that no matter how many ballot initiatives you support or church doors you blast through or “dire wraiths” you neutralize.
I thought he was talking about the brandywine Brandy and it didn’t didn’t like it haha.
Frankly, it’s Brandy’s own fault for having a Black Nebula-themed wedding.
I’m with you, Disco Stu.
I thought ROM was just educating Brandy in the correct manner to open doors.
Rom and Brandy, sitting at the back of the space-bus to Galador and unable to make (red glowing) eye contact…
Truly one of the finest moments in cinematic history.
That is a hilarious panel. Too bad the only wedding I have coming up is between two non-comic readers, now I’ll have to get them something lame like a clock radio.
Thanks for making The Graduate a better movie Chris.
And THAT, kids, is why you don’t sit in the back of the church
The above panel was not from the first church ROM crashed into…
SFX: KAVROOM!
ROM: “BRANDY! DO NOT DO THIS THING!”
BRIDE: “Who’s Brandy?”
ROM: “…IS THIS THE CLARK-JACKSON WEDDING?”
BRIDE: “No! This is the Cyrus-Flannigan wedding! And you’re ruining it!”
ROM: “OH…UH…HEY, IS THE GROOM A DIRE WRAITH IN DISGUISE, READY TO EAT YOUR BRAIN?”
GROOM: “HEY!”
BRIDE: “He’s not a Dire Wraith! He’s a Presbyterian!”
ROM: “AH. MY APOLOGIES. THE, UH, FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS ARE LOVELY. I’LL, UH, SEND A CHECK FOR THE DOORS.”
[ROM zooms away]
He went through four weddings that way.
“Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong…”
Ah yes, Mr. Vernon. Totally a Dire Wraith, you know.
“He’s not a Dire Wraith! He’s a Presbyterian!â€
I see no particular reason you can’t be both. We Presbyters are an open-minded lot when it comes to adding to the congregation. Helps keep the donations coming in, you know.
That panel completely sold me on ROM and was what I would tell friends about when describing the series.
Brandy – “Let’s do this thing!”
ROM – *crash* – BRANDY! DO NOT DO THIS THING!
Reverend – Last time I ask anyone to speak now or forever hold their peace…
BTW, Chris, best alt text EVER.
Here’s to you, Mrs. ROMinson. (yeah – that was bad.)
At last someone dares to take the wind out of the pretentious tripe of ROM.
I was expecting the cover where he incinerates the groom when I saw that headline, but that panel is awesome too.
Actually Disco Stu, I’m pretty sure ROM’s torso doubles as a boombox.
But ROM’s life, lover, and lady is the sea!
“Dear Mr. Vernon,

At first glance, I thought this said “Dear Mr. Venom”, which would have made The Breakfast Club awesome in an entirely different way.
Riffing off of Dean’s awesome misinterpretation…
Mr. Venom: Now thats it! My ‘other’ and I are gonna be right outside those doors. Next time We have to come in here, We’re crackin’ skulls, and eating your brain, Parker! And you too, Spaceknight… mess with the bull, you’ll get Our horns! *Slurp*
Bravo sir. You just made my night.
My space knight.
while not necessarily a coming of age film but on the Hoffman tip, I’d dearly love to see the “everybody’s talking” sequence from Midnight Cowboy featuring Rom as Voight.
Who would be Ratso Rizzo?
The Torpedo, naturally. He would also be Ducky in the ROM version of “Pretty in Pink.”
Lovely blog! Thanks for the useful information.
One thing you have to say, he makes one hell-of-a entrance…
