san diego comic-con 09 recap!

Posted by rtil - August 6th, 2009


i know comic-con was over 2 weeks ago but i forgot to post my recap i wrote last week here, and since some of you asked how it went, this should wrap things up.

if you don't want to read it even though there are pretty pictures, here's a summary:
· met Shinya Tsukamoto, director of Tetsuo. He is making an American version of the film which will be the third in the series. It will be called Tetsuo: Bullet Man.
· saw the American premiere of Chan Wook Park's (of Oldboy fame) new movie Thirst. it's a vampire film, but the anti-twilight of vampire films.
· saw Hayao Miyazaki at the Pixar panel. his new movie Ponyo comes out in American theaters next week. go see it.
· Cartoon Network knows CN Real was mostly a mistake and they're squeezing it into a 1-day block instead of their original plan to expand it to 3. Chowder has new episodes until Januray 2010. no word on Flapjack season 3. Adventure Time comes spring of next year.
· Lauren Faust's (Craig McCracken's wife) MWGG characters are coming to toy stores Toys 'R Us and FAO Schwartz this holiday season. they're thinking about doing flash websidoes of the characters as well. their contracts with CN expired in June, and CN did not renew them. that's right - CN did not re-hire the two people who made their most popular show of all time. guess they need more room on their payroll for talentless child actors.
· i got chris sabat (voice of Vegeta) to say mondo cool. i'm sure he's been asked to say that over how many times? that's right, you guessed it! you're a funny kid.
· despite appearing at a Newgrounds/Behemoth event, I was not forced to go super saiyan and kill anyone. arguably, many lives were spared this night.

overall it was the most eventful year thus far, but the crowds are getting unbearable. they need to expand the convention center or move it to another city. they havetalked about plans to expand, and there is room. i mean for god's sake they're getting to the point where they have to redirect human traffic inside the exhibition hall. i didn't like going in there because i felt like cattle.

here's a cell from ponyo. it looks amazing

san diego comic-con 09 recap!

summary: ANIGEN DIDNT GO TO MIYAZAKI BUT INSTEAD DECIDED TO HANG OUT WITH EGORAPTOR

sounds terrible

oh yeah well YOU sound terrible pwned

I'll have to look into Thirst. I just saw Oldboy recently and the hallway fight scene was my favorite in ages.

i agree. thirst is a little on the long side, but it's very original for a vampire film. it takes a more realistic approach to the unrealistic expectations of being a vampire.

I was kinda bummed I didn't get into the Miyazaki panel. The line was just way too huge.

it's one of those things you have to show up to at least 2 hours early to even get a chance to get in. right before it was the WB panel with a lot of highly anticipated movies, and they don't clear out rooms.

Alas, our epic clash was not to be

i was eagerly anticipating your arrival only to be disappointed

No epic battle with The Swain? awwwwwww :(

depends on what you mean by epic battle...........................
.................................
......^_^

I'll watch anything by Miyazacky-Sammuh but I can't say I like that old school look he's going with for this Ponyo flick.

not enough glow filters for ya eh

There was a Pixar panel? Miyazaki was there?!
Must see Ponyo as soon as possible.
Must go to Comic Con next year.

ponyo comes out next week

Heh good recap. I can't wait to see another Miyazaki film.

the wait is almost over

lol i cheeated i saw that on surfthechannel.com:D

gr8

Why the fuck won't they hire Craig McCracken back? He was the brains behind all the great cartoons back in the day. WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING? God dammit.

i love all of the pictures with rtil and his e-nemesisses.

Sweet sounds like you had a good time and i'm glad to hear it !

yea i did thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's kinda mondo cool

THURST IS LIEK TWHY-LIGHT

mmh...i remember that ponyo's film was out in italy about 2 months ago...
but it remained unknown and shortly lasted in the halls....that i think cause this kinda of genre is still fresh in my country's culture...

the tetsua video left me speechless when i saw a metal drill coming out of that guys pants through a table at the girl....lol

l8s

tetsuo is guaranteed to give you a headache of metal proportions
