I just got back from Comic-Con 2008 and, boy, is my hyperdrive tired! Anyway, it's good to be back in the land of deodorant and people who don't wear chain mail, but I still had a lot of fun at the convention, checking out the latest toys, movie premieres, celebrity panels and after-parties.
He-Man fans were soaking their furry shorts at the entrance to the Mattel booth, which was decked out like Castle Grayskull.
"Hulk smash! No, wait. Hulk spoon! Hulk spoon!"
Rainn Wilson moderating The Office panel. The best part was when an audience member asked if they would do a musical episode, maybe in a dream sequence. Um, how do you do a dream sequence in a show that's supposed to be a documentary?
The Office writer/performers, BJ Novak and Mindy Kaling. We once ran into BJ leaving Canter's Deli. He's short.
Upcoming Mighty Muggs for Indiana Jones and Marvel.
Unicorn photo opps for those who love Harold and Kumar and/or Sarah McLachlan.
Poison Ivy anime figure.
Batman and Robin constructed out of LEGO blocks.
The cast of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, including Summer Glau, Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker and Brian Austin Green, who's Public Enemy #1 with nerds nationwide since he was engaged to Transformers hottie Megan Fox. As if speaking fluent Klingon would give you the edge over David frickin' Silver.
New McDonaldland figures that will probably outsell the McRib. Rumor has it these taste better, too.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The security at Comic-Con looked scary enough, but they couldn't hit the broadside of Shipwreck's party boat.
Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof makes a surprise appearance at a Marvel panel to drop off the script for the next chapter of his Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk comic. It's funny because the script has been infamously overdue for two years. It's even funnier because that much time passes before anything happens in Lost.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force plushes, for those who like lint in their fries.
The Sci-Fi Channel gave out the funniest bags at the convention -- made specifically for the metrosexual Battlestar Galactica fan.
Patton Oswalt moderated the panel for The Sarah Silverman Program, which returns in October. He also made Ratatouille sex jokes about sitting on Brian Posehn's head while he pulled his hair to make him "do things."
Hopefully, that got your attention, Blogs of Note. Sure we're not techie, but I think that after almost 8 months of rambling posts about not-so-practical stuff (i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Lindsay Lohan and Lindsay Lohan) we're still noteworthy. I'm just trying to give those other bloggers out there a chance. I'm sure the lonely cat lady who writes amateur poetry or the angry goth kid who keeps a diary of depression would like to get some attention every so often, too.
The Marvel Super Heroes Science Exhibition made its world premiere at Los Angeles' California ScienCenter this past March, and today we decided to take on the double threat of geekiness by visiting the exhibit. Ever wonder about the science behind Wolverine's stoopid haircut? Or how everything but those purple pants pop off of Bruce Banner when he hulks out? Disappointingly, it turns out the museum won't be tackling those mindbending questions. Check out the official list below to see what exhibits will actually be on display.
The Spider-Man Climbing Adventure teaches kids fun with harnesses and "crampons."
The "Shake Hands with Iceman" exhibit teaches kids that nothing is worse than a clammy handshake.
Professor X's device would declare you a "Mutant!" if your hand scan qualified. There was also a hand scanner that told comic book fans to move out of their mom's basement while the screen cruelly displayed "Virgin!" for all to see.
