Even though we haven’t seen any early reviews of this weekends Star Wars Clone Wars movie, Lucas doesn’t have the greatest track record in our recent memory. Rest assured that this video clip of Boba Fett doing a Flash Dance like routine will not disappoint.

Way back in 1986 DC Comics released a set of promotional posters for the upcoming Watchmen series. Twenty two years later those posters are released again in a live action format. Plasmic Studio has a great page set up with rollover effects so you can see the original fade into the new version. It’s easy to see from these that they are aiming for the look of Watchmen. Now let’s hope that they capture the essence as well.

Well, it’s all said and done. Another San Diego Comic-Con has come and gone. It was a little rough getting there since Con-tinental cancelled our flight causing us to miss the preview night and get in extremely late, but we made it and had a great time. Now for the good, the bad and the ugly.

The Good: Tons of announcements, additional Watchmen footage, cool freebies (Watchmen shirts and swag bags), cool weather with no humidity, outdoor dining, beaches (not the movie), cool costumes (day 1, day 2, and day3).

The Bad: Cancelled flights and everything is expensive.

The Ugly: It’s getting difficult to find comics at Comic-Con, way too much Hollywood, and the crowds were getting ugly.

You’ve seen him insult the Star Wars geeks, but here is a brutal attack from Triumph the Insult Dog while attending San Diego Comic-Con 2008.

While having dinner we caught a zombie flash mob as it passed by.

I know that I told most of you that I wasn’t going to Comic-Con on Saturday because it’s just too crowded, but I just couldn’t help myself. More later. Until then enjoy some pics of day three.

Dalek

Who knew that the Daleks had a weak spot?

Black Manta

Bender

Fembot (Grrrrrrrrrr baby!)

Boba Fett is my pimp!

Another packed day at SDCC. Here are some random pics of the sights we saw.

Scooby dooby doooooooooo!

I am Iron Man!

???????

Ummmmmm…???

OK, see that short guy in the middle? That’s Seth Green trying to be all incognito. Fans started to approach him and he quickly made his way off the floor and to his Robot Chicken panel.

Tim Sale and Jeff Loeb.

Yesterday was the Watchmen panel at SDCC. The hall was packed and the entire cast of Watchmen was there. The best part was the exclusive footage that we got to see for the first time. Even though there is no way that all of the book can be fit into the movie, the look and feel of it is spectacular. One of the coolest scenes is the one where Dr. Manhattan blows up vietcong with the pointing of his finger. In the trailer they blow up less graphically. In the actual version there is blood, guts, and bone flying everywhere. Due to copyright reasons the exclusive footage is not allowed online yet, but enjoy the Q and A with the cast and crew. Snyder and Crudup are quite the funny men.

Well, there’s not much happening at Comic-Con this year since there’s hardly anyone here. Just kidding! Holy crap is it crowded. I’m sure once it’s all said and done the attendance will break all records. We spent all of the day wandering the floor like drooling fan boy zombies. We’ll have more pics and videos up tonight along with news from panels. Until then here are a few of the things we saw yesterday.

Hulk mad at large number of people dressed up as Batman and Joker. Also, doesn’t it look like the Hulk is clenching his My Little Pony swag in his left hand?

Alas, even Lego couldn’t stop Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull from sucking.

I was going to shoplift at this local boutique, but then I saw this sign. I’m not sure if the Spirit is protecting this city until Chrismas 2008 or starting with Christmas 2008. Either way I won’t take the chance.

Jeff Smith appeared on News Hour tonight. If you missed the interview you can download the mp3 of it here. Also, click here to ask Jeff Smith a question and the results will be posted on Wednesday July 23rd.
