We’re doing MegaCon this weekend, the first of a handful of southeastern conventions we like to participate in. We’re pairing up with Delvling Press in the Independent Press area of the Dealer’s Room. Looking from the front, we’re to the right of the Star Signing area (usually messing with the celebs) at the end of rows 1000-1200. I’ll post the exact booth number/whatever here after I get there.

Also, expect plenty of on-site tweets as I observe them, pictures may or may not follow. If you have the stalker tendencies to enjoy celebrity watching, there’s nothing more amusing than watching them upstage one another and pick on one another as they grow bored of questions like “Are you exactly like your character on (whatever?) I’ve always wanted to touch you!” Actually reaching over the table and attempting to perform the aforementioned action is also funny to tweet; you’ve been warned!

It’s always interesting to hear someone suggest that you’re not a “real” critic because you’re not in “real” print or publication, suggesting that because trees aren’t cut down and permanently inked (prior to recycling, that is) to articulate an opinion somehow makes it worth less (or just worthless.)

By that justification, it seems to me that firing print critics (even when those same reviews are also online as opposed to print only) only lends more credibility to actual critique moving further away from traditional media as newspaper and periodicals continue to hemorrhage cash. If those film critics love critique, there’s a good chance they will find a way to continue to contribute. To them I say, “Welcome aboard.”

Guess what came out in stores today in standard DVD, Blu-ray, and special edition “steelbook” with bonus DVD? Yep, The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is yours (and ours) to own, and just in time for St. Paddy’s Day, too.

Why did it have to be snakes? The next big trailer “The Sands of Time” is out, and as more of the special effects nearing completion keep leaking their way into the advertising, the question remains if there will be enough plot to justify them all.

The man of your dreams is back. Does he make the cut, or are fans about to get burned? Looks good, all except that scary-looking “From producer Michael Bay…”
