Drunken Comics Rage

Don't worry, my next post for tomorrow (Monday) will actually be about comics. Probably Secret Invasion #4, since I haven't put that up yet.

Just a couple of days now to SDCC, and I figured that I would post the Sunday stuff, since I've gone ahead and bored you with every other day. Might as well finish it out eh?

Not that we get a lot of comments around here, but I'd be interested to hear whose going out to SDCC this year, and what you're really looking forward to seeing. If you feel like sharing, hit the comments thing at the end of the post.

Also, pretty cool that they are going to have free WiFi at the Con. I can see it being jammed up and slow with all of the people, but that might not be the case. Regardless, I'll have to try it out with the new iPhone. 

SUNDAY 

10:30-11:30 It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia— The FX hit comedy series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is coming to the Con.

Seems a little odd for the convention, but I bet it would be fun. It's been a while since I caught an episode of it though.

11:15-12:15 Supernatural Screening and Q&A

I was actually just thinking that I might have to go back through the program since I didn't see this yet. Really looking forward to this as long as I can get in.

11:30-12:00 Focus Features: Hamlet 2— Focus Features invites you to preview the much talked about hit at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Hamlet 2!

Pretty much no way that I'll get to see this unless something catastrophic happens with me getting into the Supernatural Q&A, but I've seen the trailer for this, and it does look pretty good. You can catch the trailer HERE if your curious. 

11:45-12:45 DC Nation: One Weekend Later— Did you think one DC Nation panel was enough? You thought wrong! So much has happened with the DCU during Comic-Con but right here senior VP—executive editor Dan DiDio saves one last blockbuster announcement for the Nation!

It's soooo hard not to make some very tasteless joke at Dan DiDio's expense right here. I'm going to refrain though. It did have something about cross dressing and a monkey (No, not The Monkey), but I'm going to skip it. It was funny though. Really.

Anyway, I'll probably try to sneak into this one after Supernatural. I'm sure the "blockbuster announcement" won't be worth the price of admission, but you never know.

12:00-12:45 Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay— Comedy legends Harold, Kumar, and NPH (Kal Penn, John Cho, and Neil Patrick Harris) appear live and in-person ato talk about the creation of their latest masterpiece—Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay—available on DVD on July 29.

Dammit. Maybe I can get The Monkey to go sit in the DC thing so I can see this instead. Might have to promise him a round or two of drinks Sunday night, but I think it would be worth it.

12:30-1:30 Paranormal State— See the stars of the hit A&E series Paranormal State: Ryan Buell, Eilfie Music, Sergey Poberezhny, Heather Taddy, and Katrina Weidman.

Huh, don't know anything about this show. Might have to wonder in after Harold & Kumar if I get the chance.

1:00-2:00 Marvel: TV Writers of Marvel— Heroes, Eli Stone, Carnivale, Underworld, and Big Love. You love these shows & films, but did you know the writers behind them are also at Marvel?

I think this would be a cool one to go see.

1:00-1:30 Friday the 13th— Sneak a peek at the new movie retelling the original Friday the 13th about teenaged summer camp counselors who are systematically slaughtered by a mysterious killer.

Holy crap, they're remaking this? What the hell for? Does Hollywood not have a fucking original thought in their heads? I know it's not exactly Planet Of The Apes classic, but it's close enough now that they should just not bother. Idiots.

1:30-2:30 Rogue Pictures— Rogue Pictures presents select footage, key cast members, and filmmakers from its upcoming 2009 slate. Scheduled appearances include writer/director Wes Craven, discussing his suspense thriller 25/8, and writer/director David Goyer, discussing his supernatural thriller The Unborn.

Dammit. I really thought Sunday would be an easy day to pick and choose what to see. I'd like to see this just to see Wes Craven.

1:45-2:45 Ghost Whisperer Season Four: The New Spirit Mythology of Melinda

This isn't a show I watch or anything, but it might be worth it to see Jennifer Love Hewitt in person. I bet she won't be in the outfit I'm thinking of though. Ok, too much information right?

2:00-3:30 Starship Smackdown XI— The legendary Comic-Con exclusive celebrates another year of stellar showdowns as the original and infamous Starship Smackdown returns. Ever wonder if the USS Enterprise could take out the ID4 mothership (hint: Kirk's can!)? Can the Galactica find Earth and destroy the Yamato (of course, it's a cartoon)? Can the Serenity outplay, outwit, and outlast the fully functional firepower of an Imperial Super Star Destroyer? You'll find out the answers to all of these questions and many more from the panel of expert spaceship-ologist.

Ok, very high nerd quotient right here, but it might be pretty fun to listen to the debate.

2:45-3:45 Virgin Comics: Grant Morrison and Deepak Chopra: The Spirit of the Superhero— The tradition continues! As Virgin Comics gears up to launch the new animated on-line series MBX, series writer Grant Morrison once again teams with best-selling author and Virgin Comics co-founder Deepak Chopra to talk…superheroes!

Might be a good one to go see. Especially if the Starship Smackdown gets a little boring or out of hand nerdy.
