I've been going since 2008.  I won't be going this year because I'm saving up to go to Hong Kong for the Lantern Festival. 

  When I went last year, I basically decided to just go with the flow and sorta let things happen rather than go in with any sort of set schedule of "i'm going to hit this panel at this time."  So, I was walking toward the convention center and I walked up to the Top Gear display they had on the sidewalk.  Got a nifty lens cleaning cloth from them after filling out some form for a competition they were having that weekend.  Didn't think anything of it afterwards, until I got a call from the Top Gear Producer the next morning telling me that I had won the contest and me and one other person could go to this party that Top Gear was hosting in one of the hotels near the convention center.  My buddy and I went to the hotel and got to shake hands with Kate Beckinsale, she's tiny by the way.  We go to the party, have a good time.  When we leave the party towards the evening, we run into Fricking Mark Hamill!! 

  Now I've made it a point not to get star struck at these things, I mean these are human beings just like you and me.  They all feel the urge to go to the bathroom every now and again.  But this particular time, I got a little start struck.  Mr. Hamill had his back to me and I simple said "Mr. Hamill?"  He turns around and has a almost look of horror/confusion on his face.  "Could my friend and I possibly get a picture with you sir?"  "Oh, yeah sure that's not a problem."  So we got pictures with Mr. Hamill.  He even did the Joker laugh for us!

sounds like he may have shot super 35 with a 2.35:1 aspect ration in mind for final release.  Which means he'd of cropped the image in post to fit the 2.35 aspect ratio.  At least I think that's right... Dorkman, did I get that right?

any way to get ahold of the Prometheus script?  It appears that the studios have sent out a lot of cease and desist letters to websites hosting scripts...  This is sad from an educational standpoint, at least a little...

isn't the idea that there isn't a market for small genre films more a perception of hollywood suits that has trinkled down to the creative types?

Teague, when do we get the "I'm doing this Ironically" t-shirt?

Middle Earth.  Although I would think Endor would be just as fun.

Let's go to human psychology,  How do you greet a someone you've never met for the first time?  Are you inclined to: smile and say hello, avoid eye contact and pick up the pace in your step, or nod as they approach?

Comic conventions are not solely a U.S. thing.  There are several that take place in Japan and there are some in France.  In fact, I believe the largest takes place in France in which they shut down an entire town for 4 days.

That extra special guest during the Iron Fist of the Obsidian Sith commentary had me nerdgasm during that episode.  That's one commentary I'll never forget!  It's a shame I can't find it anymore...  Teague and Dorkman singing at the end was a huge plus!

very interesting episode!  Jeffrey is a great addition to the panel.  I'd love to hear a Trey/Jeffrey/Dorkman panel.  The three of them are so articulate it would be like smooth hot chocolate in the morning.  I don't have many conversations like this very often either.  I think I'd get along well with you guys in RL, but I'm quite an introvert.
