Happy Saturday to you all!! Not much to report on the literary front, I am sad to say. I only picked up one book. It's the first in the series and I'm really looking forward to it.
It is the time of year when my family and I spend four whole days immersed in pop culture. San Diego Comic-Con was last weekend and it was a blast.
This was the panel they held in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the movie Aliens. Fun fact: this was the only acting role for the actress who played the little girl Newt. She is now a 4th grade teacher.
I loved Guardians of the Galaxy and I look forward to the sequel.
Here is some of the cast from Suicide Squad. It turns out Jared Leto really got into the role to the point he was playing pranks on his fellow cast members.
This year was the 5oth anniversary for the Star Trek series. They gathered cast members from all the different series for a panel where they talked about the series impact on society and remembered their times with on set.
So, tell me, what bits of literary culture have you added to your collection?

It looks like Comic-Con was fun. I hope you enjoy your book.

I'm so glad you had fun at Comic Con! I've always wanted to attend but living in the other side of the world is so hard haha! SO I just checked out the Marvel Panel highlights on Youtube! I'm so excited for GotG Volume 2 as well! Guardians was one of my fave Marvel movies ever!
ReplyDeleteI hear good things about Updraft -- I read a novella by Fran Wilde recently and it was really interesting.

Congrats on being able to attend ComicCon. Someday you should share your techniques on getting tickets (There is a whole episode of the Big Bang Theory of the guys trying to get tickets). I'm glad you had fun.
ReplyDeleteHere is the secret to getting SDCCI badges: Luck :)
ReplyDeleteYou just have to be registered and in the cyber 'waiting room' at the appointed time. You can increase your chances by having more than one person registered and ready to purchase everybody's badges.
People come from all over the world. You get the badges at http://comic-con.org/
ReplyDeleteBenedict Cumberbatch came in just to attend the two panels he was on :)

ReplyDeleteOoh I was at Comic Con too! But I did all book stuff, so I didn't go to any of the movie panels, unfortunately. Sounds like you had a blast:-)
