Big D The Movie Blog Going Forward: Comic Con 2014

First, a little video message to all the loyal readers.

Did you watch it? Yes? No?  Anyways if you did not, it was a song that I remember fondly from my childhood.  I was a big WWE/WWF fan, and that song was the theme music for former RAW general manager Eric Bischoff.  God that guy was a dick.  Anyways we are back, and better than ever over here at Big D the Movie Blog, and we have some very exciting things to bring you.  First and foremost;

San Diego Comic Con begins on Thursday, and like every year this will produce some of the biggest movie news of the year.  I personally will be attending Comic Con on thursday and friday, and will try to cover all the biggest stories I am able to.  Among the panels I plan on going to include the annual Masters of the Web panel on thursday with special guest Manu Bennet from the tv show Arrow.  Also premiering at this panel is the first official trailer for the upcoming documentary "The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened? " directed by the great Jon Schnepp.  Also there, is one of the best online film personalities out there in Mr John Campea of AMC Movie News.  I watch AMC movie news' daily talk show every day, and look forward to meeting them all at the Con.  Also I hope to attend the Arrow panel as that is easily my favorite show going right now, and Stephen Amell just seems like the greatest guy in the world.  He plays the titular character in Arrow, and if you look at some of his Facebook posts; he just comes off as a very genuine and grateful guy.

What I want this Year

Now lets talk about the bags.  Every person that has the very lucky opportunity to attend Comic Con in addition to the badge they receive is given a very special bag that is used to promote some of the things going on while simultaneously giving you a place to put all your crap.  There are about 10 different kinds of bags, and the distribution of them is random so there is no way ask for a specific one.  Last year I got the bag that promoted the tv show Supernatural.  I was upset because they had ones featuring Batman, The Big Bang Theory, 300, Godzilla, and The Lego Movie.  And I got stuck with a bag about a stupid show I know nothing about.

What I got last Year

At least it wasn't Teen Titans Go.  This year they have an awesome Arrow bag available, and that is the one I really want.  I heard a rumor there is a Hello Kitty bag in the lot.  Good God please do not let me get that one.  Anyway this is just one of the many cool things about San Diego comic con.  By the way let me take this moment to express my genuine gratitude for being able to attend this event.  This is legitimately one of the hardest things in the world to get tickets for.  You can thank us nerds for making this thing become so popular to the point where it is almost impossible to get in.  I knew people that had been going to comic con ever since you could buy tickets the day of and go in, and this year around they are not going simply because they couldn't get tickets.  Very sad.  But I am one of the lucky fans going, and I will not waste this opportunity.  I shall be sure to take lots of pictures, and will make a very extensive post about my time there.

Many great movies have come out since the last time I wrote including Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, 22 Jump Street, and How to train your Dragon 2.  Naturally though some big pieces of shit also accompanied those great films.  Stay away from Tammy, Transformers 4, and Sex Tape.  Do not waste your money or your time on these.  I was thinking about writing a review for Tammy right after I saw it, but I was afraid if I started writing about that film that the review would become so vulgar that it would offend even my most open readers.  That movie was the worst film I have seen in a long long time.  I felt violated upon walking out of the theater that night.  You would too if Melissa McCarthy came up to you, tied you to a chair, told you terrible offensive jokes for two hours, and then stole 12 dollars plus gas money out of your wallet before letting you go.  Enough about Tammy.

Thank you so much for tuning in today for this update, and I again apologize for the extended absence, but I know my loyal readers will return! Hahaha well continue to check back for a review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and a huge amount of Comic Con news and pictures.  Its an exciting time to be a movie fan, and as always...until next time, have a splendid rest of your day.
