Tricks and Treats

In celebration of Halloween, here's a roundup of past photos suitable for the season of the witch. Or, you can smell our feet.

Sequels, or "5equels"

It's sequel season, and everyone seems to be out seeing the latest Twilight movie.

Lurking in the shadow of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, a sequel to another successful film series has been announced -- the fifth installment of the Final Destination horror flicks, titled, um, 5nal Destination.

I don't know about you, but I'm with a lotta people who think 5nal Destination reads like it's supposed to say "Anal Destination," which could put a totally different spin on the franchise (I'm hoping the tagline is "Death screws you in the end"). Steve and I were thinking the movie could be all about death's design to create elaborate Rube Goldberg chain reactions that all result in fatalities up the 5hole. Sorta like the Mousetrap board game but with assplay.

Check out our other ideas for board games that should be movies here.

Now, there have been plenty of ill-conceived movie titles out there that have you questioning why a studio would put such a ridiculous name on the marquee (anything preceded by "M. Night Shyamalan's" immediately comes to mind), but this title just flat-out 5nally rapes all previous bad movie monikers.

I really hate these math-holes who come up with ridiculous names like Se7en and now 5nal Destination, because how do you even pronounce that? Fivenal? All I think of when you say Fivenal is this adorable little scamp:

2 Fast 2 Furious was another example of math-holery, but the Vin Diesel movie Jenni really wants a sequel for is The Pacifier, which she thinks they should title, Pacifaster. Or better yet, they should just combine his racing and nanny flicks into one uberfilm:

Of course, the studios would probably need to insert a number into the title if there ever was a second installment of The Pacifier, and that could lead to some confusion as to who's in it:

At any rate, the only sequel number I think that should be shoehorned into a movie titled would be for the next Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn. Cuz really, I just wanna see people pitching tents to wait in line for something called "4king Dawn." That'd be fourkin' awesome.

Comic-Day 3: The Rise of Cobra

Saturday at Comic-Con...

G.I. Joe action figures reporting for duty.
Most of the Cobra infantry will be parachuting out of exploding aircraft in a few minutes.

G.I. Joe cosplayers.
Probably the best Destro outfit I've seen since most look like their faces are baked potatoes in tin foil.

2:11pm @pantsarama: Just met one of the coolest Stans at Comic-Con! Not Lee, but Stan Bush! You've heard his music in Boogie Nights, Transformers animated film





2:32pm @pantsarama: I saw a woman lifting up the shirt of an Edward Cullen display doll. The saddest part was actually the sighs from passersby.

2:47pm @pantsarama: Leonard Nimoy spotting at Comic-Con. In case you've been living in a cave, he's the director of "Three Men and a Baby."

The movie prop booth had skinned a Gizmo face from Gremlins. It had to be done.

A Boo Mario costume from Mario Galaxy.

2:53pm @pantsarama: Adam Baldwin signing on the floor now. You might know him from Chuck & Firefly, or as the Baldwin who's proud not to be a Baldwin brother.

Comic-Day 1: Thursday and the Half-Blood Prince

Welcome to my Thursday coverage of Comic-Con, that nerdgasmic time of year in San Diego when thousands of people will go crazy if you shout out "Excelsior," "May the force be with you," "Team Edward," "Team Jacob," "Live long and prosper," "Free Corn Nuts" or "Look! Boobs!" I'll try to post photos and tweets from the show each day. And if you want to be annoyed by me in real time, follow me on Twitter right now!

Marvel Superhero Squad statues of Iron Man and Dr. Doom.

Upcoming Marvel characters to be added to the Superhero Squad series of toys.

10:19am @pantsarama: Is that Doritos, farts and Mountain Dew I smell? Then I must be at Comic-Con! I'll tweet updates until I find myself a slave Leia.


10:27am @pantsarama: San Diego Trading Co on 5th is giving away free GI Joe hats to press. Ugliest hats ever. Now you know, & knowing is half the battle.


10:35am @pantsarama: It seems the she-nerds at Comic-Con aren't used to my pheromones & are attracted to it. It's called "deodorant."


10:45am @pantsarama: Star Trek cologne. Smells kinda woodsy with a hint of mom's basement.

11:18am @pantsarama: If you wear a bikini to Comic-Con, guys will photograph you. As a red-blooded male, I guess I was asking for it by dressing that way

Cute version of Sora from Kingdom Hearts.


Batgirl as one of DC's Blammoids

He-Man prototype toys from Mattel.

Darth Vader's pimp helmet

3:22pm @pantsarama: I overheard someone talking about the "Dr. Parnassus" panel at Comic-Con debating whether Heath Ledger will show up. I really hope not

3:27pm @pantsarama: I saw David Faustino at the Sony booth. No, he didn't have a broom. He was signing autographs.

Coraline stop-motion figures from the movie.


Characters from the upcoming movie, 9

Toffee dolls from Huckleberry Toys.

3:30pm @pantsarama: Tyrese Gibson has a comic book and is signing them. I don't even need to make up a joke.

3:34pm @pantsarama: I'm in the looooong line for the Chowder and Flapjack panel. They're Cartoon Network shows not food, but now I'm hungry.

Slasher characters done up in the new style of Mez-Itz from Mezco.

Bioshock.


Silver paint Tokidoki show exclusives

6:11pm @pantsarama: Ziggy & Family Circus are criminally underrepresented at Comic-Con. In honor of Ziggy, I'll be attending tomorrow without pants.

Beverly Hills Cop Minimates. Finally, a Minimate with a tiny mustache and a big banana.

Iron Man movie props

Brian Cox and Lauren Lee Smith from Trick 'R Treat, due out on DVD and Blu-ray this October. Anna Paquin was a no-show since it was her birthday, but the director called her voice mail during the panel and had the audience sing to her. Harry Knowles moderated the panel. At first, I thought it was a dude in a Jabba the Hutt costume.

12:00am @pantsarama: Saw Comic-Con screening of "Trick 'R Treat," a horror anthology w/ Anna Paquin. Not bad.Scariest part was Harry Knowles moderating the panel

DC figures with disturbingly realistic looking faces. Kneecaps, not so realistic.
