Rock on!

I would feel sorry for those people but they're rich so screw 'em.

Actually, I take that back "Past Life" will be empty as fuck
by tall_boy66
Eastwick has Rebecca Rojamin so it'll be pretty jumpin'.
-
I've always wanted to go to the San Diego Con and the one time that I can go and it's fucking sold out! All thanks to the fucking twats who want to cream all over Robert Pattinson. Fucking Twilight shouldn't even be at the Con! Goddamn vampire teen-angst trash bullshit! True Blood is where it's at, fuckos!
-
that's a poor showing if the star won't attend
-
Seriously they should just call it Hollywood-Con.
-
All the cool stuff is 3,000 miles away. Why did I have to be born in NASCAR country?

I did not mean to post that comment twice.
-
You gotta book early to avoid disappointment. As much as I'd like to go again I can't justify spending upwards of $1500 or more for airfare and hotel, especially now that the Canadian $ is once again below the US $. Plus the crowds are crazy. Maybe I should instead support the local shows. I hear Bruce Campbell will be at FanExpo Canada in August.
-
let me be the first to congratulate myself for being first in michael jackson's tribute article. i know it was a douchy thing to do, but i'm just being me. i need to compensate for my unnaturally small penis.
-
And Im documenting the whole thing. Bwha-ha-ha-ha
-
before any of you fucks even heard of the con...i was attending then hollywood discovered it and fucked it up, like they fuck everything else so gone is my chance to shoot the shit with my fav creators or look at (but never touch) treasures of the golden age and i really miss the kirby panel (almost as much as i miss jack) and goddamn jack for predicting that this would happen and fuck the con people who still cant figure out a cost effective way to stream the panels
-
So what if Hollywood is there. Actually it might be a good thing. My friend who is going with me this year doesn't know shit about comics but wanted to see the Hollywood stuff. But as it gets closer he is started to read some books and is getting into it. Hollywood being at Comic-Con is turning my friend into a comic geek.
-
That's a serious effort on their part, really. Spelling it all out right now and all. Crazy. But what the heck are they doing to mess up the Brave and the Bold name? That's not right. :/
-
All of it shows up online in about a minute after it happens these days.
-
...since it's the middle of the summer, do you think you could maybe put up talkbacks for the only two decent shows airing right now, Rescue Me and True Blood?
-
thanks for the news herc!
-
Somebody needs to clarify if she will return for the final season.
-
That is going to be the best one.
-
If your a fan of Sex in the City, Charmed, Desperate housewives you will LOVE this.
But if your a fan of dark occult series like American Gothic and Carnivale you will fucking hate it with a passion.
Soft in the head housewifes who are into fluffy bunny Wicca will be the core audience for Eastwick.
Someone please bring back Brimstone!! -
I bet it will be a lot easier to get into this year...
-
Yup, I am definitely will be going to the LOST panel. As much as I like Fringe, there's no chance in hell I'll make it if it's within a close time frame as LOST's panel.
Thursday and Sunday aren't bad, Fri & Sat are the big days.The freakin' events schedule should be out soon. And I want to punch Olivia Munn in the face. -
and the halls stink of BO.
But I'm still going. Nerd. -
What I'd love to do to Olivia's
face doesn't involve punching.
-
Herc,
I completely agree, there needs to be talkbacks for True Blood (especially) and Rescue Me. It'd be nice if you put Weeds in there, too. Why we're not getting TB's for this show is beyond reasoning. Come on man, one of the rules of showbiz is "give 'em what they want"! -
It's looking enjoyable at least although I very much doubt it will come close to how awesome the miniseries was back in the day. And Morena Baccarin is hot, but she's no Jane Badler. Still, it's be good for a laugh.
-
I dug on the original V when I was a kid, what with hot lizard women, dragon baby, and lizard-Freddy Kruger helping the humans. I really look forward to the new one, although I wish Morena Baccarin hadn't cut her hair boy-short. But Elisabeth Mitchell is so yummy on lost that I'll watch it just for those two. Add Alan Tudyk and Dominic Monaghan and I'm there! But sadly, does this mean no more Juliet on Lost? For female characters on that show, I put her high above Kate as most interesting. As for V, I wonder if they can get Robert Englund and Marc Singer to do cameos?
-
As far as punching goes; possibly a donkey punch or a fistful of fuckface. God she's so full of herself. Sorry ass ninja warrior whore. And yes, BO at CC can be downright stank.
-
Please do some TB for those shows.
-
beginning of September i believe. Guests are people you may have heard of like Leonard Nimoy and Edward James Olmos. Living in the south seems OK to me! Just sayin...
also picked up Essential Ellison 50th Ann. at Borders when i already had the 30th ann. I'm such an Ellison whore. Also picked up season 1 of B5 cause it was like 25.00 at Best Buy today (fuck, i said i wasn't going to buy shit and there i go again.) I only wanted to complete my TZ collection and then focus on beefing up my movie collection. sigh... -
Dear God. Wayne here...please let Megan be a guest. Thanks everso.
