Wow it's been a while, and I'm definitely late on this one...so here it is, my annual San Diego Comic-Con blog with a brief rundown:
Unintentionally creeped out actress Lake Bell. Her co-star on Children's Hospital Erinn Hayes seemed to like me though. Wayyyy more zombies, Jokers, and Boba Fetts than slave girl Leias and Wonder Women this year which made me sad. Thomas Jane is the ayatollah of awesome. I have a new fondness for Emily Blunt. Joseph Gordon-Levitt strikes me as someone who knows he's too cool for school, but downplays it a lot. Ellen Page is the most cutest, elegant, and tiniest Canadian I've ever seen. Tita is the sexiest, sweetest, most elegant, and tiniest Canadian I've ever seen who I can't wait to trade flair with again next year if she shows up. I almost got lost in Milloux's eyes, they were so pretty. I totally regret not getting a picture with Radeo as Batgirl. Elysium looks to blow District 9 completely out of the water with Sharlto Copley as the bad guy, also there's no aliens this time. The Expendables 2 panel was dope but I didn't appreciate watching Schwarzenegger trying to steal Stallone's thunder when he made his surprise appearance, although it was awesome and unexpected. Poor Dolph though, he only got to speak twice. Really proud of how far Terry Crews has come. Thinking back on it, I'm kinda surprised Norris didn't make an appearance. Kate Beckinsale (who's almost 40) on her worst day > Jessica Biel at her best. BIGGEST FAIL: Waiting in line to Hall H (biggest hall in the Con specifically made for the weekend's biggest events like Avengers last year and such) on Saturday morning from 7:30am starting roughly a mile and a half away from the convention and arriving to THE VERY FRONT OF THE LINE by 1:30ish, only to have some old dude tell me and everyone else, "By order of the fire marshal, being as how we're over capacity and no one wants to leave Hall H, you're probably NOT GONNA GET IN AT ALL TODAY"...that shit was soul-crushing; I'll probably never do Hall H again.
Sash is a wonderful woman who I should've smiled more with in the pictures we took together, she's just so awesome. Bob looks better than ever and her describing the taste of the True Blood drink was hysterical. Kemper maybe the hottest redhead I've seen up close...like really. There was also that one I encountered dressed as Black Widow, twice too...I should've gotten her number. Didn't see any of the JoBlo.com crew that I usually spot on the first day sometimes. Bought the first appearance of Gambit in Uncanny X-Men #266; they were selling it for $85, they gave it to me for $50, awesome-sauce.
Overall, a pretty good time. Still gotta say '09 and '04 were the best.
Here's some random pics from the 4 days there...

Some other randomness...
And now the best part of the Con, obviously...
That's it for now, I'll try to blog more often. Got more time to myself now that I'm out of the Navy...sort of...not quite...
more on that later.
Great photo
