bob when you go next year will you be doing any cosplay?

I'm thinking about going to the NY one here in a few months but I'd love to go to the San Diego one.

I may see you there next year!

first and foremost....seriously man if you can make it let me know and we will have to hang out and get drinks

as for cosplay....eh my cosplay days are over.....although i was thinking of going as the food critic from Ratatouille

this will be my third Comic Con but my first with friends that arn't looking for jobs in the industry....so i can just have fun

Anyone in San Diego: say hello to Jhonen Vasquez for me.
I haven't paid attention to his current work but for some reason I decided to re-read Squee and JTHM about a month ago.

Is there any buzz about the film yet? If they do it right then it could be one of the best sci fi movies of all time. But it's Hollywood, so I'm assuming that I'll be wanting to walk out of the theater a half hour in.

from the previews it looks pretty good....the kid they got playing Ender in my opinion is pretty spot on....well looks wise

Spoiler for HUGE spoiler if you have not read the book.....like Darth Vader is Luke's dad type of spoiler:

there were rumors a while back that they would be combining Ender's Game with Ender's Shadow for the film.....personally i think that would loose some of the grip the story can have on the reader/audience...although i very much enjoyed reading Bean's story

What does everyone think of the next Superman movie bringing in Batman?

Sorry I haven't quite yet mastered the emerging language of "using animated .gifs to express my thoughts"

I think it's because I try to stay out of the Lounge as much as possible.

I saw it coming from a mile away because it's exactly the kind of cheap film tactic to prey on nerds that Hollywood's been applying for the past few years. As long as Nolan's batman isn't being used in a Zack Snyder film I don't really care. I'm projecting this whole Justice League farce to fall apart eventually so any forgettable Superman/Batman combos that come out of it aren't interesting to me at all.
