“There are only so many hours in the day.” That’s a statement we have all heard and probably even used ourselves. The same thing applies to movie watching and then some. There are only so many hours in a day and only so many movies we can get to in a year. Every year at least one person that sees my Top 10 list in January asks me, “Oh, so you’ve seen EVERY movie from last year?” No. Of course not. That’s not realistic, but since I have a keyboard and an opinion, I’ll write about what I did see. Still, that can leave a multitude of pictures out of a person’s viewing experience. So what happens to those great films we missed?

Jason Momoa came crashing down from the back of Hall H down the aisles, high-fiving fans along the way. People went absolutely crazy for this. When he finally got on stage, moderator Chris Hardwick said, “makes sense that you’re Aquaman, because everyone is super wet right now.” It was a funny and exciting way to begin a really great Justice League panel.

The Hall H 180 screens continued today with Blade Runner 2049. After a run down of what happened with Deckard and what has happened to society since 2019 (I won’t spoil it), Jared Leto came onstage and began discussing the future and what Blade Runner means to him. After he was done, he disappeared, revealing that we had been watching a hologram the entire time. Pretty amazing.

You’ll need to watch this trailer a couple times to notice every detail. Chris Hardwick was on hand to introduce the Warner Bros. panel, beginning with Ready Player One. Prior to bringing Spielberg out on stage, there was a montage of Warner Bros. films from the past ten years, obviously ending with a huge emphasis on Wonder Woman, which received a standing ovation from the crowd. Wonder Woman is quickly becoming the new face of DC and Warner Bros. I would bet good money that they include her in every poster collage, video clip, books, etc for years to come.

20th Century Fox began creating stories in the X-men universe for television last year with the outstanding and surreal “Legion” on FX. This year they jump to a more mainstream appeal type of show with “The Gifted,” which will debut on Fox this Fall. At Comic Con this year, they brought a sneak peek clip of the upcoming show that laid out the premise, introduced a few characters, and created a good amount of intrigue for what is to come. While it was immediately clear that this isn’t going to be as ambitious as “Legion”, “The Gifted” has the right elements to be a success.

Just ahead of the Justice League panel, Warner Bros. released a new poster for the film, and it is pretty amazing. Like most of you, I haven’t enjoyed the dull color palette of the DCCU films (with exception of Wonder Woman). This is making a statement, and it’s about to be shoved in all our faces. Forget the bleakness of old, and get ready for some optimism.

I have to admit. Sadly I almost gave up on Fear the Walking Dead after the lackluster second season last year. I was not a fan of it at all. However, my fiancée encouraged and persuaded me to watch the Season Three premiere a few months back. Holy hell! I was instantly hooked as it started off with a bang taking no prisoners. Don’t even get me started on that last sequence for the mid season finale either. It was near perfect the way the ending montage played out against the haunting cover of “Stand by Me,” but I digress. So here we are! It’s Friday! We’re in Hall H at Comic-Con 2017! Does life get any better than this? I don’t know if it does. LOL. Let’s talk some Fear The Walking Dead Comic-Con style now.

I’m King of the North! No, I’m King of the North. Wait! I’m King of the North. Were dwindling down, folks. Who’s going to be King of the North? We shall find out soon, but not at this Comic-Con Hall H panel of course. Based on the bestselling fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, HBO’s Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning series Game of Thrones began its seventh season this past July 16th. The series, executive produced and written by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, is an epic story of treachery and nobility set on the continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can last years. Cast panelists in Hall H included Alfie Allen as Theon Greyjoy, Jacob Anderson as Grey Worm, John Bradley as Samwell Tarly, Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth, Liam Cunningham as Davos Seaworth, Nathalie Emmanuel as Missandei, Conleth Hill as Varys, Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark and Isaac Hempstead Wright as Bran Stark. The Hall H panel was moderated by a special Westerosian guest. Continue reading ‘Comic-Con 2017 Hall H: Game of Thrones’

Warner Brothers Animation brought the entirety of the new Batman animated film Batman and Harley Quinn to show in Ballroom 20 at San Diego Comic Con this year. This event included Q&A with a panel of voice actors returning from “Batman: The Animated Series” Kevin Conroy and Loren Lester, new voices, for this production, Paget Brewster (“Criminal Minds”) and Kevin Michael Richardson (Literally a man of hundreds of voice acting credits), as well as writers Bruce Timm (“Batman: The Animated Series”) and Jim Krieg (Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox), and Director Sam Liu (“Green Lantern: The Animated Series”). The film feels perfectly like a continuation of the Batman animated TV series with a little bit more PG-13 added in. A great addition to the DC animated oeuvre by any count and likely to be a must own for fans of the animated series when it releases in August.

The Star Trek Discovery Pop Up Display at San Diego Comicon was a major highlight of a long day of waiting in line and trying to navigate through the massive crowds. While it exciting to see all these costumes there are definitely some questions being raised while gliding through the exhibit. To balance the eyebrow raising costumes there were many tried and true, classic, props that give hope to a series that could be exactly what we are all waiting for. If anything, at least Harry Mudd will appear, looking great as ever.
