San Diego Dreaming: Thursday
First off, take a gander at this Black Diamond On-Ramp review. You've seen a lot of people review the book now...uh…see another person review it.
Now let's get to that exciting subject we all yearn to read about: malaise. Specifically that lazy feeling many of us are feeling while we wait for the San Diego Comic-Con to happen. I'll be there as a journalist and a fan. There are many panels there and while I'll catch some I will probably end up missing a few. There's just that much stuff going on. Here are a few things going on that I recommend. Maybe you'll see me, maybe you won't. Still, the fact that my nerd self might show up shouldn't scare you away.
3:30-4:30 Spotlight on Bruce Campbell: What's New With Bruce?
The man has more charisma in his pinky finger than those overrated hacks Clooney and Pitt have in their whole bodies. Whenever Campbell comes on the screen he gives the movie, no matter how bad it may be (and Campbell hasn't always been in the best films), that jolt of entertainment only a suave and confident performer could. He's smart, he's funny and he should be one of the biggest movie stars in the world.
4:30-5:30 A Conversation with David Cronenberg Director David Cronenberg
I haven’t read A History of Violence but I have seen Videodrome, Naked Lunch and The Fly so I do have high hopes for the next Cronenberg film. Film doesn’t usually give us good, thought provoking science fiction. Cronenberg is one of the few directors able to do that while filling his movies with amazing visuals. Great sci-fi, great movies. A rare breed indeed.
5:00-6:00 Keith Knight’s The K Chronicles: Ten Years and Counting
I’m just the type for Knight’s comics, even buying a few from the man last year. A lot of wit and pointed satire gives us one of the most reliably good political cartoonists today. Not just are the comics smart, he’s got one of the most attractive styles you’ll find in your free weekly paper.
And that’s just Thursday. I’ll be blogging more about the conventions’ paneling but I’ll do it a day at a time, mainly because I’ve got the feeling I won’t have anything else to blog about this week (remember, we’re all slacking off waiting for SDCC to happen).
