An early look at Thor

Here's that Thor footage from Comic-Con. It's pretty awesome.

Megan Fox will star in Voltron Movie

My source? Her t-shirt.

The Best Chewbacca Commission ever. Plus 3 more funny pictures

Yep, that's Chewbacca riding a giant squirel fighting nazis. Your day just peaked.

Finally a Sucker Punch trailer

Is there anything worse than having to wait 3 extra days for a trailer to go from Comic-Con exclusive to a youtube free for all? I mean this is the future right? Shouldn't they be beaming this straight to our brains? Get on that Steve Jobs and make sure I don't need a stupid bumper just to get reception.

Best fish impersonation you'll see today

So this overly elaborate goal celebration happened in some Icelandic league no one has ever heard of. In a related story, I actually had a shot on goal this weekend. While I was doing my celebratory robot dance the other team counter attacked and scored. What I'm trying to say is I'm not very good at soccer, but I do a bad ass robot dance.

San Diego Comic Con Cosplay round 2

There's that HWGuy I was looking for earlier.
I'm not gonna lie to you, you're probably going to get sick of all the Comic Con posts this week. However, it's my blog and I'll do what I want, which in this case is to pad hits by pandering to the almighty google image search.

With that in mind, here's more Cosplay on Parade. I love these nerds. If I had free time, the ability to sew and a complete lack of dignity I would totally be at SDCC with them rocking something spandexy.

Olivia Munn?

smart posing, keep your "assets" in the foreground

Henchmen #21 & #24. the popular choice for tubby guys everywhere.

lady Tele-VViper is totally stealing this scene.

the Human Centepide cosplay happened.

Hey look 75 virgins!

"form of a bulging crotch!"

needs more cockatoo

at comic-con green man cosplay could've gone very bad.

"Is heaven missing an angel? 'Cause you've got nice cans!"

Mad Eye Moody or hobo with fancy eye patch? you decide

The Walking Dead trailer

As expected AMC premiered some footage from The Walking Dead at comic-con this weekend. Also as expected it looks awesome (well except for the actual quality of the video footage, it's better than Cry Cry Again but worse than Death Blow).

.. The Blurst of Times. SDCC

what's up nerds?
Having a teething 8 month old has provided me with ample opportunities to watch absolute garbage TV shows at 2 in the morning. With "..the Blurst of Times" I'll tell you all about whatever horrible abortion of a TV show I watched the night before.

G4's coverage of the San Diego Comic Con was equal parts awesome geekery and shameless nerd pandering. Actually it was more like 65 percent nerd pandering and about 35 percent awesome geekery (which not coincidentally is about the same ratio found in G4 host Olivia Munn).

The actual show seemed like it was edited by a 12 year old on angel dust. Every thing from the floor was shaky cams and MTV style quick cuts. Sure call me a cranky old man, but sometimes I actually want to see the Comic Con exclusive He-Man Molar figure for more than half a second. Actual comic news!

Things and people I liked:
Cosplayers! Comic-Con always delivers when it comes to nerds dressed up as nerdy things. G4 did a decent job showing lots of the costumed dorks from the floor.
Comic book coverage! It wasn't great but at least it was there. I get it that SDCC is all about TV shows and movies these days so it's nice that there was a little bit of comic book love.
Thor! Kenneth Branagh and Chris Hemmsworth totally sold me on Thor. They were great. Especially when you compared them to the casts of Captain America and Green Lantern, who seemed almost bored to be there.
Daniel Dae Kim! admitted to putting on a mask and buying a couple lightsabers off the floor, just like regular people.
Ali Larter! Looks great pregnant. there I said it, so sue me

Thinks and people that sucked:
Oliva Munn! She was just kind of obnoxious. If she wasn't talking over Kevin Pereira's questions, or blatantly reading from a teleprompter, she was screwing up Nathan Fillion's name.
Michael Chiklis! needs to take off those stupid sunglasses. He looked like an idiot.
No panels! The talked about the panels constantly, Why was there no actual footage from them? Let say you had to spend all day in line to catch the Tron panel, wouldn't it be nice to see something from the ones you missed?
Artists Alley! Is huge and awesome and was never mentioned once.
Blair Butler's under bite! Just kidding Blair... kind of.

I closing; On a scale of 1 to when I fell asleep G4's Comic-Con coverage scores a hefty 4 hours. However, if I hadn't been watching it on delay through the DVR I never would have made it The fast forward button got a pretty good work out.

Westboro gets pwned, the video

Yes I know I'm harping on this story way too much, but I thought some of you would like to see video of the Westboro Baptist asshats getting out protested at comic con. As a special bonus, keep an eye out for the guy in the Ichiro shirt immediately followed by a girl carrying a 8 foot kingdom hearts key. So random it's awesome.
