Full Comic-Con schedule posted! See what goodies are planned for the geek masses!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. So, those sneaky monkeys over at Comic-Con.org have quietly posted the full schedule for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.
It’s going to be a big year.
CLICK HERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FOUR BIG DAYS OF GEEK AWESOMENESS!!!
Sometimes I run down my exact schedule, but I won’t do that this year. I will tell you what I will not miss, no matter what, though.
Thursday – Paramount’s Panel (Hall H – 1:30pm-3:30pm) IRON MAN, INDY 4, STARDUST, THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES, HOT ROD, BEOWULF and TREK, with JJ Abrams there as well as Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr., Andy Samberg, Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary… plus some surprises.
I’ll probably also try to catch some of the Max Brooks/George Romero Panel (4:45-5:45, Rm 6CDEF) as I love Romero’s movies and Brooks’ books, but that might run into LIONSGATE’s panel (3:45-5:15, Hall H) where they’ll show stuff from MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN, SAW IV and have Jessica Alba onstage.
I think I might skip out on that one in order to hit the LOST panel (5:00pm-6:30pm, Ballroom 20) since I’m a LOST whore.
Friday – The big, must see panel of the day is without a doubt Warner Bros’ panel (10:30am-12:00pm, Hall H). WATCHMEN, WATCHMEN, WATCHMEN… plus some ONE MISSED CALL, GET SMART, INVASION, TRICK ‘R TREAT and SPEED RACER. But Zack Snyder confirmed with WATCHMEN talk and surprises.
There’s also a Fox Panel with stuff from AVP 2 (bleh), a New Line Panel for SHOOT ‘EM UP (with Clive Owen there) and GOLDEN COMPASS. I want to be there for that, I really do… but at the exact same time is the DIMENSION Panel featuring Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN and Frank Darabont’s THE MIST. I’m sure you can guess which one I’m excited for, but I’m curious to hear what Zombie has to say about the movie and what he brings to show for it. THE MIST, though. I can’t wait to see some footage from that and if it’s what was being talked about onset, then you’ll be in for a treat at this panel (2:30pm-4:00pm, Ballroom 20).
The day also has panels featuring Ridley Scott and half the BLADE RUNNER cast talking about the big DVD, Kevin Smith doing one of his classic style Q&As and the Chiodo Bros talking about their work. God, I love Comic-Con.
Saturday – I’m really torn on this day. Do I go for the big HEROES panel or the Rogue/Focus panel at the exact same time? I love me my HEROES and all of them will be there, but new Neil Marshall footage (DOOMSDAY) and BALLS OF FURY… urgg…
Disney has a panel on PRINCE CASPIAN and Pixar’s WALL-E, which I will not miss, Universal has a panel on INCREDIBLE HULK with Ed Norton and the whole cast there and Sony has a panel on 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, RESIDENT EVIL 3 and SUPERBAD.
So much stuff!
Sunday – Is actually almost totally free. I’ll probably watch the webmasters panel with Moriarty up on the stage, sweating under the hot lights and use this day to run around the convention floor, blowing way too much money on geek shit.
I’m in the process of cementing some interviews, especially with WB and Paramount stuff. Should be a good year. Hope to see some of you guys there. If you can’t make it, I’ll do my best to bring the experience to you.

Whats she promoting? Just how hot she is?
-
Let's get some casting news out there, eh?
-
... people actually go the Aliens vs Predator and Resident Evil discussions?
-
Oh, i can't wait to get some new info about season 4!
-
It's a Trek-centered short film I wrote that's playing at the convention film festival Friday night at 6:15. If anyone feels so inclined, please check it out. Everyone who's awesome will be there. Taste the sweet succulence of my shameless plug.

that is all.

In the world of sex, there is a stigma about the one-night stand. Women who indulge in one-night stands are called names and relentlessly attacked, while men revel in the idea. On the eve of the release of Fantastic Four 2, Jessica Alba has tried to debunk the stereotypes about one-night stands, saying she enjoys no-strings-attached sex.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, 23-year-old Jessica Alba has stated that she loves to experiment with sex, and that she does so with many different partners. "I just wanted to see what it was like to be with different people. I don't think a girl's a slut if she enjoys sex," the curvy actress said. Alba, who has been romantically linked to Entourage executive producer Mark Wahlberg, said, "I could have a one-night stand, and I'm the kind of girl who looks over in the morning and is like, 'Do you really have to be here?' I don't need to cuddle and do all that stuff because I know what it is and I don't try to make it more." -
You know, the ones with matted hair that kind of smell like urine.
Yeah, it's a stereotype, but they don't become stereotypes without a reason. -
If so that could be fucking awesome. I haven't heard anything about it being made into a film though.
-
Smells like nerd spirit.

Hey QUINT!
Come to DragonCon in Atlanta and see what a real con is like. ComicCon has let Hollywood manipulate it. I mean they could participate more at DragonCon, but are too cheap to fly out of that hellhole of California! -
theres no Dark Knight stuff-I was certain something would get revealed there. But crimeny-Jayne is the new voice of Superman? What the fook-isnt he a bit gruff? and you wait 5 years for a Twin Peaks season2 boxset and two come at once...or a bit apart....
-
Now that show has really gotten pathetic.
-
they've got Clive Barker. We saw him 2 years ago and he's completely nuts.. in a good way. That must've been the most un-PC panel I've ever seen. Never seen a panel that includes mention of fist fucking... wonder what he'll bring up this year?
-

That about covers the TV stuff. -
They're in the middle of filming season 2 and we could use some news.
-
:(
West coast bias, I say! -
. . . not a soul showing up for Rob Zombie, or a bunch of haters showing up and getting him all riled up, defensive, & backed into a corner. Do they have Q&A at ComicCon? If so, will they hand over the mic to flaming fanboy haters?
-
there's q&a at the comic con. and it's gotten kinda nasty before... it would be worth it to show up for Rob Zombie and see him have to handle irate fanboys
-
This should be the most interesting panel, imo. I'm betting the producers are going to be facing a lot of irate fans still annoyed over the diabolically bad s6. It'll be interesting to see their reasoning for its failure, especially as the first 4 episodes were amongst the show's best. Go easy on them. Oh, and someone try and get the scoop on s7 and the on/off film idea... pleeeease...
-
POST! Your friends in Europe, who fought so poorly, and surrendered so easily cannot attend. Please attend all the panals and post, post, post! I thank you.
-
As in 'What the hell were you thinking?'
-
Being atomically deconstructed and rebuilding yourself into a giant naked blue guy with a hydrogen symbol on your forehead? Priceless.
-
on Friday night. It's hilarious.Can't go this year (couldn't justify the 2 grand for air & hotel) so I will be eagerly awaiting the daily reports. I really would have loved to see the Watchmen panel (300 last year was probably the best panel). And you know they'll have a Comic Con exclusive trailer for Iron Man, which will be the shit. And Jessica Alba & Kate Beckinsale live again, just like in 2005. Hmmmm, maybe I should rethink this, extend my credit even further. Won't be able to get a hotel at this point but, fuck it, I just won't sleep for 4 days. Usually don't get much sleep anyway. Maybe it is do-able after all.
-
some of the biggest attractions. I had to miss it both times and regreted it. Sunday morning is a great time for it, not much else on. Crap, now I really have to rethink going.
-
Consodering how badly BATMAN BEGINS snubbed Comic-Con a few years ago you figure they would have learned from the backlash.
-
I've never paid attention to Comic-Cons early release scehdule. Does this mean that something as large as a Dark Knight panel will not be a part of Comic-Con at all?? There's no chance Nolan and crew decide to participate from now until Comic-Con?
-
She jumped ship from NBC to the CW; the female lead on that show was recast from the pilot she won the part. Bummer; I enjoyed Missy's Candace Wilmer wreaking havoc in the show's latter stages. So the storyline will be that Nikki killed Candace in their climactic fight in the season finale. I guess. Hope they don't take the easy way out and recast Candace.
-
"Remember y'all, no Dark Knight at San Diego's Comic Con, but the will be at Wizard World Chicago in August. DO NOT go to San Diego expecting something, OK?"
(Source: Batman-on-film.com) -
was too much. The first time I went was 2005 and it didn't seem that crowded. But last year was insane. Sunday was the worst; wall-to-wall people. In 2005 I could easily move down the aisles with little or no problem. In 2006 it was like being a human pinball, constantly bouncing off people. Little to no room to move. Forget getting close to a booth, just getting from one place to another was like navigating through a Romero flick, with mindless zombies every step of the way, always in your way. I guess that's the difference between 100,000 attendees and 120,000.
-
This is my first year going and the one thing I'm concerned about is getting to see a panel like the Paramount/Iron Man one or The Hulk one. Just how many hours ahead of time should one get in line for such a panel?? 3,4,5,6 hrs? I fear the worst.
-
which is 5000+ seats. If it's first thing in the morning, try getting there at least an hour before start time. Unless you want to be in the first few rows, then I suggest a few hours (never gotten that close so I don't know). But if it's later in the day, just go during the panel before and when it ends, some people leave, you can then move to a better seat. There are washrooms in the hall (which is a godsend if you plan to spend the day in there) and they sell food outside. Also, there are several giant screens throughout the hall so even if you are near the back or on the side, you get a good view.
-
"Rotten tomatoes will be handed out to the attendees at the door."
-
On Apple Trailers. Is that people impaled at the end?
-
You guys are sure to get a sneak peak at how badly they are screwing up the Watchmen movie!
-
any word if there is a WB panel where they will talk about The Dark Knight?
-
it still sounds like a good show! Can't wait to see the Iron Man and Watchmen stuff!
-
Perspective like that definitely helps a bunch. The one thing I noticed was that a lot of good panels simply overlap and you have to make a Sophie's choice. I guess you can't have it all.
-
Yeah, it's like that a lot. Last year I skipped Bruce Campbell because his panel ended when the one for Spider-Man 3 began. I didn't think I'd have time to get down there in time. So instead of Bruce I went to the Pirates panel that was just before Spidey's and it was well worth it. So it all worked out. Missed Bruce but got to see some funny CG bloopers.On the other hand, last year I went to the Paramount panel instead of the Heroes one and ended up regretting it. But the year before I decided against, I think it was Jon Favreau & Zathura, to see David Cronenberg instead. Excellent decision.
-
So no surprise there.
-
comics and anime? Now it's got some of the biggest fucking movie stars around, promoting material. Crazy.
-
If anyone is going to the Torchwood panel John Barrowman, AKA Capt. Jack will not be there. He has prior commitments. :(
-
Does anyone know what happened to the Wanted panel? Is there going to be one?
-
I thought it was announced that Burton was bringing Sweeny Todd?
-
I'll bet with several writers and illustrators I could produce a graphic novel as well. Maybe Gwen Stefani will do one next.
-
I'm gonna be on the road at that point.
