Day Three SDCC 2013

Friday at SDCC. My main goal was to get into Hall H for Veronica Mars, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Sony Screen Gems. We went to line at 8am and after 8.5 hours of waiting in line, we got into Hall H.



The line went around Hall H, down the street by Bayfront, along the water (wrapped up/down three rows worth) down around the Symphony Stage and along the water to the parking lot.

Sadly at that time the following things had occured:

• Missed Veronica Mars
• Missed Walking Dead, but saw Norman Reedus wave from the rooftop
• Missed Game of Thrones, cried a bit as cosplayers for Game of Thrones left the Hall H line that they had sat in for hours like us
• left the line to use the bathroom, which had no t.p. thank goodness I had stuff in my bag to use
• got heart burn from living off of trail mix, gatorade, bottled water and dried fruit snacks
• sun  burned patched of my arms that were not correctly sunscreened due to being hung over and under rested
• burned the top of my head/scalp from sun beating down on us
• rubbed black ink all over my face when the magazine I was using as a fan began to make my hands black and my hands began to make my face black as I wiped the sweat from my forehead.
• sat on sidewalks, curbs, grassy areas, cement areas, by the water, along the road, under the Hall H line tents and finally in a seat inside.
• met amazing SDCC fans
• collected some more Ender's Game buttons from "recruiters"
• complained enough that I am shocked no one around me smacked me upside the head

Charming right? It was a rough day for sure. Besides being hung over from the night before, getting 2 hours sleep only, and dealing with hot sun beating down on me, we waited a very long time only to miss everything.




Amazing cosplay. When we all didn't get into Game of Thrones panel these guys left and we all gave them a round of applause.

It felt this year, like there were more lines, more camping out (for hall h and just to get IN to the convention) I don't know that this was because of Twilight fans in the past setting the bar high, or if people actually enjoy laying in a sleepinng bag on the sidewalks of San Diego, but it was pretty crazy this year!

Anyhow, I did enjoy Sony Screen Gems (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, Robocop, Moral Instrument, Spiderman 2) amazing stars, amazing clips, trailers, surprises and a fun time.

Metallica was also incredible. Their new movie is 3-D and looks like a pretty interesting film. They also gave our tickets for a secret concert that night, I didn't win, sadly. I felt the process was b.s. they hadn't given out all the tickets yet, but the winning #s were put on the board. Then we got tickets, and the same numbers won, but some people who just got tickets won, so how easy was it to just find the "winning #" to win? total bs but ah well.

Here are some cool things we did see along the journey:




Minion Blimp! I saw this at Long Beach airport when I left SDCC also!



We did not make it INSIDE, but Norman Reedus came to us, kinda of, Still very cool!

Amy and I went to dinner and chillaxed that evening after a long day.Much more to say and share, but I do indeed need some sleep... check back soon!

Valentine's Day Review - No Spoilers

I went to see Valentine's Day Tonight and here is my SPOILER FREE Review.

With so many top names such as Ashton Kutcher, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift, Bradley Cooper, Patrick Dempsey, Topher Grace, Kathy Bates, George Lopez, Eric Dane, Queen Latifa, Shirley MacLaine and Hector Elizondo, there is no doubt the movie has talented actors, so let's look at the story itself.

The movie is about several characters lives one Valentine's Day. It can [and will] be comapred to Love Actually in that it has multiple stories that bubble over into each other.

There is a bit of everything within the characters, from a florist who is newly engaged, to a pessimistic single football player's publicist, to a teen couple preparing for their "first time," to a teacher in a new relationship, to a seemingly happily married couple of grandparents.... the movie follows various stories that often criss-cross and overlap, though not obviously or annoyingly so.

At first, I thought the movie started off a little slow and was honestly expecting to be disappointed. Luckily that changed.

The stories and the characters were not difficult to connect to and with so many different relationships, there was something for everyone to relate too. One of the cutest stories was puppy love from a 5th grader played by Bryce Robinson, who is a fantastic young actor. His entire story melted my heart.

There were corny moments or over done parts, but as a whole it worked well.

With so many big names, there was a lot to live up to and I thought the movie did a good job of giving each actor a good story for their character and where the characters lives crossed and intertwined was amusing and sometimes shocking but not overly forced.

There were definately some laughs, some tears and some gasps of surprise and excitement.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie and think it will be a great V-Day hit.

Valentines Day Premiere Tonight

The Valentine’s Day premiere is tonight at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre 6925 Hollywood Blvd, in Hollywood! Anyone going to check it out? I will be attending the screening Wednesday and will blog a spoiler and non-spoiler post (like I did with Dear John Spoiler and Dear John non-spoiler)
