Back then, Pale-skinned, Chewbacca-loving folk like these barely made local headlines let alone national news, relying on the love of the thing to bring in [...]

2009 Comic-Con [Wrap-Up]: Chuck Versus San Diego Comic-Con

So this is late but better late than never right? Enjoy my thoughts on the panel.
As I mentioned in my previous article about the Chuck panel, the line was so long and I was so far back in it that I missed the first 20 minutes, which means that I missed the show-stopping performance by [...]

It doesn’t bode well for the newly appointed superhero Ryan Reynolds who will be dawning the ring of The Green Lantern in the upcoming DC comics superhero movie project at Warner Brothers.

So there was a lot of things we just didn’t get up in time this year and that is just a product of time, urgency and pretty much being that we are rookies of covering an event so large like San Diego Comic-Con. In this post you will find mostly photos but there is also [...]

David Blue, Brian J. Smith and Jamil Walker Smith Promise Character Driven Stargate Universe

I was fortunate enough during this year’s Comic-Con to sit down and talk with three of the most important cast members of the new Stargate series, SGU: Stargate Universe. It was really informal and relaxed on one of the top floors of the Hotel Solomar in the Gaslamp District in San Diego. I was greeted [...]

Movie Review: <em>Thirst</em>

Movie Review: Thirst

Before I get into the review, I want to share a small story about what happened AFTER the movie. A Q&A with the director, Park Chan-Wook, was scheduled to follow the special screening on Comic-Con’s Friday night. For various reasons, I would have to miss the Q&A. I was sad to miss [...]

2009 Comic-Con: Chuck Versus Rockband at Comic-Con

I sure hope the suits at NBC will take notice of the Beatles-esque treatment the folks from Chuck received Saturday at Comic-Con. Just the line to get into the Chuck panel was insane: thousands of people filling a large hallway then moving outside wrapping around a landing before winding down the stairs to the lower [...]

Sitting in the hotel suite I got to chat with with Pappa MacManus and he explained to me a little bit of [...]
