alisanne- Managed to get into Hall H, but it was a close thing. We got to the line at 7 am and it was already stretching out behind the marina and towards Coronado Island. (Well, not really, but it felt like it). After a 5 hour wait we got in, got seats towards the back, and hung on for the ride. *g*
- Django Unchained. I wasn't sure I was going to like this since Quinten Tarrantino is hit-or-miss for me, but this looks like one I may have to catch. It's a fascinating premise about a freed slave whose wife was sold away from him and he teams up with a German bounty hunter to find and rescue her. Of course, since it's Tarratino, there's plenty of blood and gore, but since more of that is Jamie Foxx shooting people who are standing in the way of his rescue? I was okay with it. :)
- Silent Hill and End of Watch. I've never heard of this game but apparently they are basing a movie on it and it looks CREEPY. *shudders*
- Warner Brothers Pictures upcoming lineup. This included Pacific Rim - kick ass robot movie, Godzilla - yes, the director said they were treating it 'seriously', and Man of Steel - another Superman origin story but this one looks good, kinda dark and gritty. There were even hints that, with the success of Avengers, DC was considering making a Justice league movie (as long as they can get their act together re: Superman, Batman et al). There was a Will Farrell movie promoted, too, but meh, he's not my fave. Oh, and I forgot to mention this earlier, THE HOBBIT! Which looks fabulous.
- Trailer park. Featuring trailers of upcoming movies (mostly animated), several of which look entertaining. :) This included: Dredd, Finding Nemo 3D, Ice Age (the newest one), The Guardians of something (lol, yeah, I know, but it did look cute), Resident Evil whatever number they're up to now (do we really need more of these?) and Hotel Transylvania.
- Iron Man 3. OMFG! First, RDJ came dancing out onto the floor of the con, high-fiving people, wearing an Iron Man glove that lit up. We all went nuts of course. Then, when we calmed down, we saw some clips. OMG! It looks like it'll be AWESOME! The things they're doing with the suit? Dear LORD. And may I just say? RDJ. Looked fine. DAMNED FINE. The panel was hilarious with the director finally saying, "What's our secret? Our secret is that RDJ IS Tony Stark". And he totally is. *happy sigh*
- Also at that panel: We got the names and release of the follow up films. Thor 2 - The Dark Dimension I think, Captain America 2 is - The Winter Soldier *shivers happily*, we found out that they are making A Guardians of the Galaxy movie (and showed the art concepts for the team) and we got to see clips from the upcoming Ant Man movie (which OMG, looks FAB!)
- Kevin Smith. Was his usual hilarious and irreverent and totally awesome self. The man is a born storyteller.
And that was it. Sorry I'm so behind in comments, all, but Comic-Con days are LOOOONG.
Tomorrow will be more Hall H (starting even earlier I imagine).

Date: 2012-07-15 09:34 am (UTC)And the descriptions of Tony's new armor assembling sounds like they got the Extremis part of this story down to a pat. Fuck. I love the Extremis armor so much. I'll be so excited to see this!
Haven't got the marbles right now to handle commenting on anything else. Ant Man! I'm even getting a little tiny bit excited for Guardians of the Universe, even though I'd rather just have them give us a second Avengers NOW!
PS: You can watch RDJ's entry into Hall H here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_RpEy9sUQo

Date: 2012-07-16 12:13 am (UTC)TonyRDJ totally rocked his entrance, his comments and clearly was channeling Tony Stark. Ad the armor...*swoons* DUDE, I cannot even tell you. We made them show it to us twice it was that good. Just the way he put it on... Mmmf.Yeah, the Ant Man concept looked awesome, I can't wait for that. :)
And yes, I want Avengers 2 NOW as well. Maybe if we both write to them? ;)

Date: 2012-07-16 09:53 am (UTC)I'm pretty impressed they're trying it for real. I'm actually not that fond of Ant Man. (Pym doesn't agree with me.) But I'll still see it!
YES! They HAVE to listen then! ;-)

Date: 2012-07-16 12:14 am (UTC)I was there and it was awesome! *does little happy dance*
I have to say, though, that despite the fun I had at the CC, this is my last one. The lines, the crowds, the...madness makes it all to much.
