New York Comic Con

Okay. So this was a few weeks ago, but I haven't updated my blog in awhile. Columbus day weekend was Comic Con and some super awesome people from home came to visit!

And one of my biggest dreams came true, kind of. KEVIN WILLIAMSON was there! And if you don't know who he is, shame on you. Shame on you. He is the crea

tor of Dawson's Creek, a producer of The Vampire Diaries, and an all-around perfect American fellow. He was there with the cast of The Vampire Diaries for a panel and I maneuvered my way all the way to the front row. Quite amazing. There's Kevin along with the Zach Roerig (Matt Donavan) and Sara Canning (Jenna Sommers). Bonnie (Katerina Graham), Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and producer Julie Plec were also there. Greatness.

Because I wanted to get a good seat for The Vampire Diaries panel I got there early and had a chance to see the Nikita panel. The actors and producer were hilarious and even though the clip they showed us looked pretty bad and too much like Alias and Dark Angel, I ended up watching the show anyway. And of course I loved it. I guess I miss Alias and Dark Angel more than I thought.

Oh right, Shane West is in the show. So that was cool. Maggie Q is probably one of my new favorite people, she was hilarious at the panel.

And the rest of Comic Con was fabulous as well. Some interesting costumes and people were there. We actually ran into two friends from high school which was fun. I really enjoyed the artists' alley where different comic book/graphic novel artists were sitting and we could talk to them and look at their work. I really enjoyed the work and artists, Tim Smith (3), Richard Kane Ferguson, and Christopher Uminga.

We also made capes which was extremely enjoyable to wear. Hopefully I'll get to go again next year.

You Again?

A little advice from an experienced movie-goer: Always go into a movie with low expectations. It almost always allows for a nice experience. Not always though, some movies are just too horrendous there is no hope.

I didn't expect much from You Again? Even though it includes numerous of my favorite people. Kristen Bell, Victor Garber, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, and Betty White. Even Patrick Duffy (aka Frank Lambert from Step by Step) was in there for a hot second. It seemed silly and as if it would be stupid. It was kind of both, but it made me laugh and the acting was for most of the actors very good.

For what it was, it was fabulous. Kristen Bell was very entertaining, probably one of her best roles yet. I didn't even once think I was watching Veronica Mars in a different situation. That is my true test of an actor, if I don't feel as if they are still another character, specially a character like Veronica Mars which I absolutely adore. So kudos to you my dear Kristen.

And Victor! Oh Victor! He was stunning, and I am so glad he got a comedic role because he is so truly comical and most of his roles have totally inhibited that side of his personality. Specially as Jack Bristow on Alias.

Jamie Lee Curtis is who she is. Her acting is typically the same but I am fond of her and her ability to be light yet deep. Odd.

Avatar made me love Sigourney Weaver in a way I never saw coming. I loved her in both Heartbreakers and in Holes yet I never thought of her until Avatar. So now she is a well liked actress by me.

I fell in love with Betty White during the dancing scene with Sandra Bullock in The Proposal. She was eh in this movie. Nothing too special, but she did her part as best as possible. Mostly it was just too similar to her character in The Proposal which at the time seemed so fun and refreshing.

Oh! I forgot "The Rock" was in it at the beginning! He was good and that part was funny. "Bullies are like terrorists, just emotional terrorists" One of my favorite parts was when Kristen (Marni) was yelling at someone on why she wasn't over the girl who bullied her in high school and she just yelled "She's an emotional terrorist" I don't know why that made me giggle, but it did.

Here's the trailer
