Comic-Con has wore us out

Posted on | July 28, 2009 | No Comments

This con has been brutal. Between press rooms, crazy crowds, awesome parties and walking miles every day carrying heavy gear, we’re just beat down.

Let’s save all the news for the comic-con wrap up episode, but go over a few highlights.

Robert Englund & Kane Hodder:

These guys were consummate professionals who really took pride in their craft. We would interview them again even if they were promoting burlap tampons. We especially liked how Kane slapped Torgo’s back so hard he almost fell over. I don’t think he’s washed his back since.

X-Sanguin:

The party to end all parties. Zombie awesomeness. No cameras, but pics of it will be available at their site soon. These guys have been putting on the best Comic-con parties for years. the first one we ever went to was held over at the Abbey (an old church rented out for parties), and it was gothtastic vampirific goodness. They really go all out, and you won’t regret the cost of tickets. But get them EARLY, because if you miss out you’re fucked. It’s a popular thing.

Hall H lines:

Oh, we have some footage of Hall H for you. It’s ridiculous. Thousands of people lined up outside in the sun to sit elbow to elbow in the hall to watch a preview of some big movies and see the stars of the movies from very far away. Not so much a highlight as it is thankfulness for not having to wait in that line because we skipped Hall H entirely this year.

Zack Snyder:

We interviewed Zack Snyder, director of Watchmen and 300! He was a cool guy, but I wish he had more time to talk on camera. his handlers were a bit rude, but he was gracious.

Sleep:

Yes. Tired. So tired. Boarding a plane now. Want to sleep for a year and not walk ever again. We’ll get the next episode up soon. Thanks to everyone who helped this year!

Post Comic-Con Blues

The post Comic-Con depression has begun to sink in. I woke up today tired as hell but wishing i had to go catch the Comic-Con shuttle. I feel like I didn’t buy enough crap. I really didn’t if I came back with any cash in hand.

We’re updating the photo gallery later (fixing some photos) and adding our Sunday photos, Masquerade photos, and some photos that other people took as well. We’re also knee-deep in editing the footage from our interviews with Kane Hodder and Robert Englund, the cast of Fringe, the cast of Chuck, the cast of Smallville, Zack Synder, 6 different video games soon to be released, and other con people. Expect them tomorrow!

Comic-Con Saturday: Interviews and Hangovers

Posted on | July 25, 2009 | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday, and my head is killing me. A late night of drinking random booze in San Diego will do that.

We’re in the press line for Chuck. It’s pretty packed with reporters from SyFy, IGN, Access Hollywood and all them. The stars are interviewing well. We’ll have this footage up on Tuesday, most likely.

We kinda have to elbow out the other press guys. There’s some with dinky little handycams. Seriously, people?

We’ve also got a Fringe panel later, and we might stop by the steampunk meetup for some photo ops. Those guys always look cool.
