proggrrlWell I've been picking through the mountain of coverage of ComicCon...fun stuff! Wish I was wandering the halls running into Ron Moore or Joss Whedon. Or Matt Groening, Steve Carell, JJ Abrams...well, you get the idea. *g*
- Of course they unveiled the CLOVERFIELD teaser poster, which looks great. BUT - you knew there'd be a but - I was wondering if this photo of a poster "found" earlier this week, with a title MONSTROUS, was real, a hoax, or a new form of meatspace viral marketing. Harry Knowles apparently knows best, we'll see. It's amazing how much I care. Right away MovieBob considered the poster's 9/11 imagery. Hey - if WAR OF THE WORLDS can do it, why not.
- Loving the SWEENEY TODD poster…I’m not a huge Sondheim fan but I’m a Tim Burton devotee from way back (PEE WEE!), and the idea of a razor-toting Johnny Depp and human-meat-pie-cookin' Helena Bonham-Carter, all gothed out and singing? Well, sign me up!
- More news about the FARSCAPE minisodes.
- News about the BLADE RUNNER: FINAL CUT DVD, and a TWIN PEAKS box set that supposedly will include "a rare roundtable discussion filmed between the series' cast and Lynch”? EEEEEP *bouncy*
- I hate teaser trailers that are all graphics and dialogue (or advertising copy read by a voiceover guy), so THE DARK KNIGHT teaser trailer they premiered at SDCC is a bore. But I love BATMAN BEGINS and can’t wait to see Heath Ledger in this one. He does sound like Nicholson a bit, eh? Also their viral at the con was creative.
- New photos of Ali Larter kicking ass with Milla! Love Milla's garters. These movies are so bad, so trashy – but I can’t stop watching them! Help!
- I will admit, even though I don't have a ton of interest in BEOWULF, the CGI does look amazing.
- These guys are hilarious (two Londoners liveblogging the entire Con)!
- The various Twitter updates are not helping me much, not detailed enough. But IGN, SciFi.com, and TVSquad/Cinematical seem to be doing the best job of keeping up with all the news.
My favorite viral so far, other than CLOVERFIELD, is definitely the Joker dollars found around the Con halls (see below for more deets).

Cool news. And OMG I have totally told my hubby before that Heath Ledger has the smile of the Joker! Too cool. He sounds great too.
