All Things: San Diego Comic-Con

Yeah I had seen that email last night and was going to post about the lottery but was like, why even bother. Seems ridiculous to do a lottery. I guess it's not a big surprise based on how things have been done in the past.

I think it should be a Hunger Games/Battle Royale type deal

I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot more time in Ballroom 20 and other places trying to catch some of the smaller things. Hall H is just going to be catastrophic this year with the likelihood of seeing some Avengers 2/Thor/Hobbit/Star Wars stuff. I mean, could be the first death at the Con.

Overnight...with...

EDIT:and those Twilight noodniks already crossed 'first death' off the Comic-Con bingo sheet.

Guillermo Del Toro Guest Directing The Simpsons - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

The first to announce their roster of San Diego Comic-Con panels for the year are 20th Century Fox TV, who today dropped schedules for the whole four-day weekend.

Amongst the information shared were details of The Simpsons panel, promising:

never-before seen footage from guest director Guillermo del Toro

Now, I’d absolutely love to see that panel, though it’s a TV event happening on the Saturday, which sounds like a Ballroom 20 booking to me.

Nice consolation for not getting into Hall H.
 


Looks like we know the big ticket item that Hasbro will be selling TONS of.



Deadpool teams up with alternate universe versions of himself in a new figure set from Hasbro. The 3.75-inch Marvel Universe editions of Deadpool, Lady Deadpool and Champion of the Universe, along with figurines of Kidpool, Dogpool and Squirrelpool will come packed in individual “taco shells,” inside a collectible taco truck box. Following the convention, a limited number will be available on HasbroToyShop.com. These will run you $49.99 at Comic-con booth #3329.

That's some clever packaging. Those are the sorts of things I like rather than just buying something that's limited.

Probably not. Most of the TV is in Ballroom. If you read the link it says that it's a 6:45 panel due to subject matter...so who knows. Could be in one of the bigger ABCD type rooms.

What's crazy is that even with all the great stuff that they have there every year, the part I like the most...is the room they have showing the free movies.

Not sure I have been there yet. actually pretty sure I haven't. Indigo is the best really. Nicest layout and great ocean breeze running through. Yeah, this might be the year where i forgo Hall H entirely and just concentrate on the other stuff. I really don't want to miss out on Godzilla and some of the lesser things but Hall H this year moreso than most is going to suffer that top loading effect where folks hang out all day to just see the whiz bangaroo big ticket items at the end. We gambled and lost last year and I just don't think I want to do that this year. It really has gotten to be that if you don't camp out...you don't get in. If they were fair/smart/whatever...no line ups prior to 7am. ANYWHERE. No pre-lineup lineups...no milling about...no loitering...tell your story walking. But then i suppose you might get a bullrush at the designated time so I guess there really is no solution. Just sucks though. A satellite room would be a nice consolation. Video feeds of all the panels in Hall H at a bigger location. I would be satisfied with that.

For those of you who are new here, this is the yearly griping of the con segment. Certainly there will be more likeminded editorials all restating gripes of cons past.

Yeah, I know we've talked at length about how they could/should do it. Register and get passes/whatever and empty the Hall each session. There HAS to be a better way. Having less of the "small" content and using them as overflow/satellite rooms. Maybe the expansion they've talked about can address it.

As far as the movie room, it's over in the Hilton I think. Just a small room that seats like 200 people. They show newish movies and some older ones. Last year they had Raiders and The Muppet Movie and a midnight screener of I think it was Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. I'm excited to see what they have this year.
 
Orph pointed this out in the Star Wars thread...THANKS ORPHEUS...really everyone...thank the guy, cause this is a giant slice of BADASSSSSSSSSSS
