Still trying to process all of my thoughts and sort out all the crap i brought home...but...Highlights: The WB panel...tearing up at the Where the Wild Things are footage, BEING IN THE SAME ROOM AS GARY ****ING OLDMAN, Cameron Diaz ****ting the bed and basically giving away the 'reveal' for THE BOX, the coolness of the Nightmare re-whatever, The JONAH HEX footage that looks way better than it should(and Josh Brolin havin a blast as if he indulged in a few pops before the panel), and finally the coolness that is Robert Downey Jr. Also, the FAMILY GUY panel, where they showed 5 minutes of lol footage from the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK episode...best swag, the WATCHMEN/TRICK'R'TREAT bag from the WB BOOTH...lotsa dissapointments...me'n'Kq were lucky last year...we got into most of what we wanted to...this year, not so much. Turned away at a lotta stuff. Hey, it happens. I wouldn't trade it for anything. What I saw I loved and what I missed I will be able to see to varying degrees online. Missing the Iron Man,Zombieland,Robot Chicken panels were a drag, as well as the WATCHMEN screening and the Trick'r'Treat screening. But I would not trade the experience for anything...THANKS TO Kingsqueen for being a trooper and having my back...
The good news is I have bought so much swag on ebay for the past six months that i hardly spent any $$$ on the floor. Oh yeah a MASSIVE F'YOU to the people at the Mattel booth...next time you may wanna get all of your folks on the same page as far as bull**** stories go. Oh and Adgy, couldn't find any Thirst swag, but I did get you a Tetsuo postcard sized poster...wow that panel was death...nobody...including the translator, spoke Engrish...
hey kq, we should rewatch the footage and make a drinking game concerning the word actuary
Oh yeah...the FUTURAMA panel was the black death of ComiCon...basically all writers/producers/Matt Groening...saying that they loved their voice actors and hoped that all would be resolved quickly, they filled time by showing notecards w/worknotes and giving away swag. It was the biggest missed opportunity of the weekend. The amount of Futurama costumes was amazing(including an awesome bender who I will post soon)...I read an article w/John Dimaggio(Bender Bending Rodriguez) who was apparently in attendance, who says he expects all to be resolved shortly...let's hope so.
