This is the third year Richard Kelly has attended the San Diego Comic Con to promote Southland Tales. I’ve been conducting an informal poll over the weekend, and the consensus seems to be that this is some kind of record. The cynics amongst you might say this is a dubious achievement, and, if Kelly were … Continue reading
I was just writing about how little new news is coming out of Comic Con this year when an honest to God bombshell got dropped – Disney has announced that they will make every single one of the seven Narnia novels into films, and they’ll be released once a year. That’s actually pretty surprising, since … Continue reading
Sitting in the Comic Con press room on the biggest day of the five day event, I’m coming close to calling this whole edition of Con a bust, at least from the movie nerd point of view (there seems to have been some actually exciting news coming out of the comic book side of things, … Continue reading

There’s some good stuff in there (including Sir Scott’s serious enthusiasm for American Gangster, which I’m more … Continue reading
It was disappointing to sit through the entire Warner Brothers panel this morning to find not a smidgen of Dark Knight material after all. It was more frustrating to realize that the oddball Joker-oriented viral marketing campaign was continuing right outside the door. Short form, between the links to a site called Whysoserious.com that were … Continue reading
I can’t even believe it, but Comic Con has sold out Sunday. What is usually the quietest and most low-key day of the whole weekend is going to be just as packed as Saturday, the biggest day of the event. This has been an especially huge Comic Con (although it’s been a real stiff in … Continue reading
