Pointless posting about SDCC
It�s been long enough that this really is pointless, but anyway, some noninformative, not really at all, or at least only slightly spoilerish genre entertainment cosas:
�
�
V for Vendetta:
-I have no idea how gutted the story will be, or if the movie will any good, but the presentation�s goodie bag had a Guy Fawkes mask, which gives me an easy out for this years dead celebrity party.
-Everyone in the auditorium loved Natalie Portman.
�
King Kong:
-Jack Black fights giant cockroaches?
�
Chronicles of Narnia:
-Looks very expensive.
-Looks very Lord of the Rings, but with kids
�
The Nightstalker:
-After watching a clip involving a woman being chased around her house then attacked or eaten or something, I decided that I didn�t care enough to stick around for the rest of the presentation.
-From what little I�ve know about the show, it was probably Kolchak�s wife getting dead so he can be angst filled and sad�and I still don�t seem to care.
�
Battlestar Galactica:
-Jamie Bamber who plays Apollo is much better looking in real life than on screen, or maybe it�s just the English accent.
-During a requisite question about Starbuck now being a woman, Mr. Bamber made roughly half of the audience roar with laughter at his implication that the old school seventies Apollo & Starbuck were surely getting it on.� The other half of the audience seemed to find the joke not so funny.
-Grace Park who plays Boomer answered a couple of questions in a very Cylon way, making her both very cool and a just a tad scary.
-Mary McDonnell who plays the president was fun.� When asked a question about her character being single, she gave a reasoned thoughtful answer as to why not being in a relationship and facing all her hardships alone made Roslin a stronger character.� An answer she threw out a few minutes later, after listening to her castmates talk about sex scenes with cylons.� This was enough for her to change her mind and say that the president should get in on some of that action.
-The Battlestar Pegasus and Commander Cain should make a return appearance in the second season, though not Sheba, ensuring that none (?) of the original female characters are used.
�
Invasion:
-Looks interesting despite the invading alien/whatever the heck they may be lights in the sky, or rephrased slightly, the suspense/mystery elements look to be the least interesting part of the show.
�
Lost:
-When Josh Holloway who plays Sawyer walked onto stage it got quite loud.� More than a few women think he�s hot stuff.
-The plane crashing scenes were apparently done with green screens and good old-fashioned Star Trek rock left, rock right, now rock left again action.
-I am definetly buying the first season DVD when it comes out.
�
Corpse Bride:
-Looks good.
-Looks very Tim Burton.
-No Jack Skellington cameo?
�
Aeon Flux (the movie):
-The still photos I saw were very striking looking, but um, why live action, or better yet why?
more later,
