My Comic con experince


I arrived Wednesday and we went to the Cartoon Network Pizzeria. But we decided not to eat there because the pizza didn't look very fresh. Looked like it sat there for hours. But the place looked nice and my sister liked this picture.


In the end we went to a restaurant Las Hadas on 4th street. It was soooo tasty! They had the best coconut shrimp I have ever tasted. And the servers were very friendly. After roaming the streets we returned to the hotel to get ready for Thursday. 

Thursday morning we went to see if we can pick up the Friday-Sunday badges. But the line was very very long, so we decided to go to Petco Park area for the Real Steel event. On our way I got a text stating Cowboys & Aliens gold bricks will be given out on 9th street. My friend and me ran all the way there... I found out running 9 blocks in wedges can give you blisters. And in the end we did not get a brick and a premiere ticket. We tried to other times but we never got a brick, but in the end we figured it was not meant to be.

At the Real Steel event Hugh Jackman came out, and he was super nice. He did a Q&A with fans and gave away free stuff. He also went into the crowd with autograph posters and he took pictures with people, before the security guards came and took him away. It was a lot of fun and it was cool to see him.


After this the next panel we went to was Stan Lee and Yoshiki. It was an entertaining panel. It was surprisingly very funny.

 Also the panel before this one was with Rick Baker. He had a video of what the audience will see in MIB III. Overall it looks very interesting and he was interesting to listen to. Also I think he was the only person on a panel I saw this weekend who was drinking wine instead of water.

We than made our way to Hall H. Where they had a panel discussing The Drive and Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. We caught the end tail of this panel, and what we saw was a clip from The Drive. Which Was a little traumatizing... All I can remember is the a guy beating up another guy's head to the point when they show the head, it was all beaten in. That scene was, I think, the most traumatizing scene I saw that weekend.

Carey Mulligan and Ron Perlman



Damon Lindelof and Andy Serkis for the panel for the Rise of the Planet of the Apes. By now I have seen the movie. And I really really enjoyed it and hope it gets some nominations for the OSCARS.


Robert Rodriquez panel where he talked about future projects.



The Jon Favreau and Guillermo De Toro Panel. It was entertaining and very fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was fun to hear them talk about projects. They even brought up Magic Kingdom and the Haunted Mansion. I really hope they will be at D23 this weekend. :)

Friday:

This is The Adventures of Tin Tin movie. Which was great to see Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. We saw some exclusive clips and I really think this will be a good movie. I cannot wait for it to come out! 


In the middle of the panel Andy Serkis made a surprised appearence!



Personally I think it was very creative of him to wear this shirt. Since you cannot vocally ask for anything, he made a shirt. And in the end it worked out!

These are pictures from a panel with Gina And Channing Tatum.




John Cusack on the panel for The Raven. Edgar Allen Poe is one of my favorite writers. And this movie is a must see for me. the clip they showed looked interesting, and I think it will a good movie. 






Nicolas Cage at the Ghost Rider 2 panel. I never watched Ghost Rider before but I will totally go watch this one! They showed us some footage of the directors doing camera work. And at points were its a stunt person is flying off the cliff, the person flying off the cliff getting the shot is the director. It was very amusing panel and makes me want to see how the final product comes out. Therefore it became a movie I will see when it comes out.



This the 30 Minute or Less Panel. It was entertaining.


Total Recall panel with Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, John Cho, and Colin Farrell.


A surprise at the Spider-Man Panel. Someone says they would like to ask a question, and than it turns out it was Andrew Garfield!







Saturday:
This is the Twixt Panel with Francis Ford Coppola and Val Kilmer.  It was an interesting panel because the way he got the idea for the film came to him in a dream. And i find it interesting that they can change he length of scenes. I hope i can attend a screening of this movie in October.


My Last panel was Once Upon A Time. The writers will be at D23. But I am so happy to have gone to this. The show looks amazing! And I really hope it doesn't get canceled. It was also fun to watch the pilot with LOST fans because we all caught some LOST stuff in the episode. Someone asked if it will be a show you have to think or just a show you can relax? They responded that it is for both. Which I am glad because they have minor details in the show that made me think AWESOME! 

On Sunday my friend and me couldn't get into the Doctor Who panel. We decided to go to the Terra Nova truck, where they had an oxygen bar and a green screen to shoot you into the preview. We later went to grab a Pan Am bag being given away at the Hard Rock Hotel. Where it got ridiculous with people just grabbing the bags and being rude to the "flight attendants" giving the bags out.

We than went to the Exhibit floor and walked around. Before Sunday was a lot calmer than it was this year. So many people that it made me think twice if it was really Sunday. I also went to the Nintendo lounge which was lots of fun. It had such a relaxing atmosphere. The people there were extremely friendly and it made me happy to be a Nintendo fan. I also played the Skyward Sword and it was fun! I cannot wait to buy the game! 

Overall it was a fun experience and going to comic con is so much fun. Of course I am exhausted come Monday but it feels great. :) I hope I can go next year and enjoy the experience of being with so many great fans.
