I usually keep this thread for reviews, but I had an experience that I believe needs to be archived in this thread, and I just, well, it's my thread, so ...
I had kind-of an exciting weekend, on Friday, I went and watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I was tired whenever I got home at around midnight, and then, on Saturday, I woke up at seven in the morning and had an hour car-ride, followed by an hour train-ride, and a lot of walking. Eventually, I arrived at my destination, Comic Con! I enjoyed myself a lot. William Shatner, Burt Ward, and Adam West were there, along with two of the main-cast from The Walking Dead that I didn't recognize. Adam West and Burt Ward were entertaining, but they didn't really answer a lot of questions, whereas William Shatner was hilariously entertaining and answered the questions in-extreme depth.
I have never gotten past the first season of The Walking Dead, I hear it gets better, but I haven't taken the time out to give it a chance. However, I looked up who the actors were, Jon Bernthal, who plays the role of Shane Walsh, and Milo Ventimiglia. I learned that Milo isn't from Walking Dead, but from Heroes and a couple other things. They were both hilarious, Jon Bernthal kind-of gave a douche-bag vibe at times, but he won me over. "I remember whenever I was doing ride along things with the police for a movie. I got really into it, and I did something really stupid. There was this guy and he took this girl's purse and I was all like, holy ****, I'm a cop, and I went over to try and stop it." - Not an Exact Quote.
Milo talked about a movie called Pathology, and I think I am going to have to give it a watch.
While these were all entertaining, as were the half-naked Harley Quins, the best part was easily when Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi took the stage. Bruce Campbell is just, he's just a lot of fun all the time, and he did this "versus the audience" act where he brought people from the stage and asked them questions. One of the times, he was talking to somebody who made instruments, he said, "Can you make me one?" and the guy said sure, and Campbell asked for his phone so he could put in his contact information. He took the phone and riffled through the messages, "You know that somebody's home?"
The man revealed that it was his wife, Bruce Campbell smiled and said that he'd call her for him. The audience silenced and Bruce Campbell called her. "I am here with your husband, and I have some bad news for you. YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO SEE HIM AGAIN."
Click. And he held the phone for a while to let it simmer for good measure.
Oh, the Green Power Ranger was there, he was one of the judges for the costume contest.
I bought issues one through ten of the Hellraiser comic-book, as well as the Season 3 of Jericho graphic-novel. (Big fan of the show. Also a big fan of Clive Barker, so, those two were nice.)
