    Thanks for the nod to Stargate Universe. It is going to be a great new ride. October 2, 2009. Mark it on your calendars.

    I think Marvel got some good buzz too, between Marvelman and the Marvel Anime line. Especially after that Iron Man test animation. Whee.

    @alphanumeric1971: yeah. I was interested until someone tried to explain the whole back story of "9"... through wikipedia.... on their phone.

    "And the old "beware of aliens bearing gifts" trope still turns out to have a decent amount of life left in it."

    Yeah, I would disagree, but I accept that's subjective.

    By the way, did FRINGE even bother showing up?

    I am looking forward to District 9 and Tr2n 2.0 Legacy. Avatar sounds like it is awesome but I am sick of James Cameron and his hype machine.

    @Bill-Lee: What hype machine is that? Cameron has been on lockdown with his movie for two years, giving up almost nothing. All "hype" has been generated by fans and sites like this one based on a photo here and there and not much else.

    @AngriestGeek: Google Cameron. He's given a dozen talks and a bunch of interviews in the past year where he's raved that Avatar will change the movie industry completely and dissolve your brain in your skull, etc. And fans read that stuff and get more and more worked up about it. That's what people are referring to. Cameron has been mega-hyping this movie to anyone who will listen.

    @AngriestGeek: Yeah, I would say Cameron has been unusually silent. And, if my theory about bad movies is correct (REALLY long and detailed trailers are a sign the movie is bad) then this one will be great.

    You forgot Felicia Day's appearance with "Legend of Neil" -- she's in a musical episode as a horny fairy, that's pretty sweet

    Zombieland definitely came out of the con for the better. I hadn't heard of it before and now I'm very much looking forward to it.

    Felicia Day now has a legion of sweaty male nerds hounding her. She's a winner and loser of the Con.

    "We were disappointed when producer Joel Silver told us this film wasn't steampunk..."

    I, however, was not disappointed by this good bit of news.

    Am I the only one who wasn't bowled over by SGU? I didn't feel like I got anything new out of the panel. I'm still looking forward to it, but not any more than I was before Friday morning.

    Hahaha, the KC Star? Hahahahaha.

    Well, from IO9's coverage, I'm definitely more psyched about Avatar, District 9, and SGU (But I was already and forever will be psyched for a Stargate installment). I saw the trailer for the Holmes film before HP, and I think that has more to do with my level of excitement for that film than anything else does. V - blah.
