Comic-Con Day 2

Wow! So much programming today!

First up was Bryan Singer who answered post release questions about "Superman Returns", then brought out a very special surprise guest...Richard Donner!!! And the crowd went wild! They spoke of their relationship fused from Bryan taking up the Superman mantle. Great presentation with 5 minutes of bloopers from "Returns" as well as "Superman, The Movie". Amazing!!! Topping it all off was Marlon Brando (the floating Jor-El head shot) giving the camera the finger. Priceless.

The "Superman II" :The Richard Donner Cut presentation was awesome!!! Plus Richard Donner made a surprise appearance there as well. They ran the opening 12 minutes of the new cut. Man I had to wipe my eyes at one point. It was just very emotional finally seeing what was originally intended by Donner. The fact that now you see the missle Superman diverts in the first film, freeing the villians from Krypton. And they ran a scene where Lois tries to trick Clark into revealing his Superman by jumping out of a Daily Planet window. Incredible stuff no one has ever witnessed before!

Plus "Snakes On A Motherfucking Plane"!! Samuel L. Jackson was just too funny. Everything was motherfucking this and motherfucking that. Even from fans when they asked questions. Don't really want to see the movie, I just get a kick out of the whole pop culture thing surrounding the internet buzz that has grown beyond anything ever before. A title card came up during the preview that said, 'the most talked about movie of the year....and it isn't even in theaters yet!'.

Well it's Saturday morning and I'm trying to get out the door for what will certainly be an insane day as far as attendance is concerned. Because when I got up at 8am the sidewalk and streets were already full of people. This place is great! Can I live here?
