Thought I was done, didn't you? Well, I neglected you for a whole week to attend this shindig, so the least I could do is spend days telling you all about it! This is just random news and stuff from the Con!
Most popular superhero t-shirt of the con? Look up at the picture. Yep, Green Lantern. Seriously. Yes, the guys in the pic are in costumes. But, I'm talking t-shirts. I figured Batman, Superman, or Spider-man would be the big winner. Nope. Green Lantern t-shirts were everywhere! Not sure what it means, but clearly it is easy being green.
Some news for you:
- Bryan Singer appeared and said there will be a sequel to Superman Returns and he will be directing it. Hinted at an alien menace. Look for it in 2009.
- The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie teaser trailer is out. Yes, there will be a movie!
- Tarantino teases at doing Kill Bill animated prequels.
- Rosario Dawson strongly suggests that Angelina Jolie will be in Sin City sequel.
- Producers of Lost reveal that the underwater hatch is a possibility, Rose & Bernard do NOT work for Dharma, and the Tom Cruise of Brazil will be joining the cast for season 3.
- Veronica Mars producer reveals that a full season 3 is not guaranteed. Needs audience support to survive.
- Marvel Comics reveals that the there will be on ongoing HALO series. The graphic novel based on the uber-popular X-Box video game was just recently released to big sales.
- Marvel Comics to release a "lost" Stan Lee/Jack Kirby issue of Fantastic 4.
- DC Comics announces comic related direct to video animated films.
- Nicolas Cage and son to create comic book for newly formed Virgin Comics.
- Joss Whedon announces who will play Wonder Woman in upcoming film. And that person is yours truly, Jimmy Aquino. I look great in a tiara and bracelets.
Just imagine me in that outfit! Okay, don't. Ya got me, ya mooks! Obviously, that last tidbit was not true. Or is it?
Lots more happened. It's being reported all over. I can't do all of your work for you. Google away, bitches. Google away.
Finally read the WHOLE SAGA...screeching halt on picture of you with JOSS. That's you! And that's Joss! And I think maybe you didn't even PhotoSplice it together! Jimmy and Jossssss! Sami and I are wrecked with envy. Did the interview podcast happen yet? Did we miss it? Is there a transcript (preferably containing warm-up chatter, "You should meet my friend, Susan Phillips. Don't let the fact that's she's all middle-aged and married throw ya, Joss, cuz really Suze has Got It Going On!")
But you stayed in National Shitty? Yuck. Dude, I wish I'd known aforehand: Coulda set you up with friends of mine or at least warned you off. I only lived in SD for nine years and have family n friends all over.
Gosh I wish I wasn't skeered off by how ginormous the San Diego Comic Con has become since the '80s, because I'd dearly love to go back again and attend with you and your cool friend Cassaday. And meet Joss, and get a new Green Lantern Shirt, and meet Joss. God would it not be fun to do a few shots with That Man? Hell yeah. (Now that you and he are buddies, Jimmy, I know I can rely on you to make it so for Nerdgasm 2007).
;-) Crazy From The Heat.

So when are you going to tell us about meeting Joss and when are we going to hear the podcast interview? Listened to the last podcast and no Joss. Are you leading us on or just a tease?
We want the goods! ;-)

You as Wonder Woman? I'd see that movie. As soon as I get home and some free time, you's gettin' Photoshopped. *grin*

I stumbled across your blog while I was in the process of doing some online research. I'm interested in what the producers of "Lost" mean by saying the Tom Cruise of Brazil will be joining the cast; does that mean the actor is popular or crazy?
