Interview and Movie Review for The Collector
Friday night was an event filled evening with a special screening of The Collector and preceded by an interview with Writer Patrick Melton, writer/director Marcus Dunstan, both involved with Feast and Saw IV, V VI, and the films star Josh Stewart.
I have to admit, as I did to them, that my agenda was to meet the men who put Henry Rollins in pink sweats (Feast). Patrick and Marcus admitted that this was actually a concession to the rating, as the script originally called for his pants to be torn off by the creatures and to be nude. Twice. They talked about his intensity and work ethic, how he showed up on time and prepared.
Comic-Con 2009: Pictures From Around the Booths Part I
San Diego Comic-Con 2009 had more than its share of exhibitors this year, from the standard fare to the truly unique; here are a few of the booths and vendors the 2009 Comic-Con had to offer:
New from Roddenberry Presents
Promoting Stargate Universe
Comic-Con 2009: Pictures From Around the Booths Part II
More pictures from around the booths at the San Diego Comic-Con 2009. I found this booth particularly amusing, Star Trek themed perfumes. The fragrance Khaaann was exclusive to the Con, but it was the Red Shirt ad that I really loved; Red Shirt Cologne, Because Tomorrow May Never Come!
This display is HUGE! Several people could actually have fit in this cockpit.
SDCC The Lost Panel
When we first arrived on Saturday, we thought there was no absolute way we'd get into the LOST panel. In the past few years people have camped out the night before, and we saw these unfortunate souls on the way home on Friday. However, upon coming up to Hall H, it was actually not nearly as long as we feared so we got in line. Everyone was very excited, as you can see.
Matt and Kroze had a very particular reason to be happy, as we found out later on in the panel.
Then we all took turns making ugly Jackfaces.
CC09: Torchwood-Exclusive Interview with John Barrowman
This year at Comic-Con, ComicsOnline's very own Kroze got another exclusive interview with Captain Jack Harkness himself, John Barrowman!
We hope you enjoy this interview:
Special thanks again to our friends at Holzheimer's who set up this interview. Check out their website at: http://www.holzheimers.com/
CC09: Battlestar Galactica “The Plan”- Interview with Edward James Olmos
Following the BSG/Caprica Panel last friday, we got to speak with Edward James Olmos about his experience while directing the upcoming BSG Movie- "The Plan".
DVD Review: The Middleman: The Complete Series
I have been surrounded by comics all of my life. My grandfather was a cartoonist during World War II. My family went to Comic-Con number zero. This has been a part of our lives. We read the western comics, the sci-fi comics, but most of all the superhero comics. So when I found out that The Middleman would be a series on ABC Famiily, I jumped at the chance to watch it. It turned out to be the best new series when it premiered, and I watched every show. It was everything that I wanted a modern superhero show to be, funny, Smart, heroic. All with a sense of self, and that which came before it. This was the new hero show.

Here are some photos from the programs Saturday in Hall H.
First up, LOST!
Comic-Con 2009: Artbox Grab Bags!
It looks like the Artbox booth is the place to be! From ordinary trading cards, to authentic autograph cards, they have it all. Most of their merchandise has to do with Harry Potter and Star Wars this year and they have an extra special treat for 2009 Comic-Con attendees. Artbox has put together special “grab bags” for all of the die-hard Harry Potter fans out there. But here’s the catch – they only put out 100 bags a day. Out of those 100 bags, there are 6 randomly inserted winning tickets. If you should get a bag with one of these tickets, you win one of their Comic-Con exclusive cards limited to only 35 produced!
CC09: LOST EXCLUSIVE FROM COMIC CON!
Every year at Comic-Con San Diego, the cast and crew of LOST like to put together something special for the fans as a thank you for all the support over the years. Over the last few years, these videos have usually contained a message from Dr. Marvin Candle, a member of the Dharma Initiative, who is there to provide some insight into the series. This year for Comic-Con, they decided to do something a little…different.
If you haven't noticed by now, LOST is missing something that most shows have: a catchy theme song! So for Comic-Con 2009, the producers put out a call to the fans to create an original theme for the show that will be accompanied by a specially created opening sequence to be played at the convention infront of the 6,000 attendees of Hall H.
CC09: Highly Anticipated MMORPG Aion
The upcoming and highly anticipated MMORPG from NCSoft is available for play at CC09, satisfying the curiosity of many addictive gamers attending the convention. I was able to fight my way through a crowd of antsy gamers and get my hands on a computer station to try the game out for myself. With just the half hour I was able to play around the graphically appeasing world of Aion, I was able to gather several details about its gameplay that many of us MMORPG fanatics have been dying to find out.

I am probably the worst person to write a show review as I get too lost in the music and the experience to bother writing down set lists or remembering specifics. But if any show doesn’t warrant a typical show review, this would be it.
