Finally! I've been trying to post this bad boy since I returned home from Comic-Con more than a week and a half ago. I wanted to post it first! But it turned out to be last (of my vids -- I think Doug still has at least one more). It was no easy feat: this monster is ...

The real scene-stealer of Comic-Con for many of us was the Heroes panel, which knocked the excitement meter out of the park by showing fans the season premier episode for the upcoming Season 3, an episode entitled "The Second Coming." That title was remarkably on-the-nose for the reception the cast and crew got at Comic-Con after ...

Yes, this is the whole thing. (Well, minus the pre-recorded video shown on the big screens, since I didn't want to get evicted from the show.) *** Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse sat down for their traditional Lost panel at Comic-Con this year (in Hall H!), and PopCultureGeek got the whole thing on film. ...

Here's the entire panel for Fox's The Day the Earth Stood Still, featuring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connolly, and director Scott Derrickson. My apologies for the poor camera coverage... Just before the event began, I was forced by the redshirt security Nazis to take down my tripod. This especially irks since the other days I filmed in Hall ...

From what we saw, this might just be the first movie based on a game that's actually worth watching. Max Payne tells the story of a gritty drug beat cop whose family is murdered, so he ...

At the end of the Fox panel, Hugh Jackman made a surprise appearance to promote X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Needless to say, the crowd went nuts. Here's the full video.

Sunday at Comic-Con this year, I took the time to do something I'd always wanted to do, but never gotten around to. (I'd never seen anyone else do this, either.) I took my video camera, hoisted it up high over my head with my tripod, and walked the full length of the exhibit hall. In case you ...

Going in to Comic-Con, everyone knew that both Lost and Heroes would be a big deal this year; this was the first year that both shows would be showcased back-to-back, and the first year that either show had appeared in the cavernous Hall H. I don't think anyone knew just how big a deal they would ...

This afternoon, the traditional Star Wars panel was held in Hall H. Not a lot to report there; we saw a lot of stuff anyone can watch on the Net right now, such as the release trailer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and the final trailer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But we also ...

As expected, Comic-Con '08 has so far been The Year of Watchmen. But let me backtrack for a second. As all good geeks know, the famed and mythic Hall H at Comic-Con is something special and wonderful. If the exhibit hall is a nerdvana feast, Hall H is the candy-flavored dessert. All of the major Hollywood panels ...

Well, nothing ever goes according to plan, does it? Last night we had all kinds of big plans to post some video for you of our coverage of the big panels for Fox and Summit. Don't worry, we still have the video. We just can't post it, because we're staying in a hotel that's located in the ...

Every year, Comic-Con seems to become more and more like the E3 of old, with increasingly loud and rowdy booths full of giveaways, big money being spent all over the place to promote the heck out of the biggest stuff, and con goers who mad-dash their way through the most impressive booths in zany attempts to ...

If this isn't geek news, I don't know what is. Merriam-Webster has added the word "fanboy" to its Collegiate Dictionary, officially making it a real part of the English language. Rejoice, fanboys, rejoice -- our descriptive term is no longer slang! We are legitimate! Wait. Unless... Unless this just means we'll now be insulted... ...

We're just three weeks away from the biggest pop culture event of the year. Here's what's new: Will they or won't they? The ongoing fan conversation regarding Paramount Pictures' uncertain presence at Comic-Con took another turn this week. Trekmovie.com checked with its many sources, and seems awfully certain that Paramount will not be ...

This is clever viral marketing at its best. Kudos to Universal for using its many brands so wisely to promote what looks to be a killer summer popcorn flick. The first James Lipton one is my favorite. Enjoy:...
