Personally, I'm only really going for the Dollhouse panel with Joss and Eliza, but I'll probably stop by to see the stars of Dexter, too. I hear there's also a bunch of stuff about comics.
So most people who care about such things are already aware that Comic-Con is approaching...fast! Tickets sold out more than a month ago so getting your hands on passes will be no small feat although they are releasing a limited number of passes daily on Ebay. Don't get your hopes up too high for those though. I'm not sure how many tickets they released today but they were gone within 3 minutes. Doesn't hurt to try though!
In convention news, while the official schedule for the convention won't be released for a few days, today they posted the schedule for the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival.
One movie that I'm really looking forward to is Zombie Girl: The Movie. It's a documentary that follows a 12 year old girl's attempt to film a full-length horror movie in her hometown in Texas. This film's been making the rounds at tons of film festivals over the last year and has some great buzz behind it. If you get the chance, this is one not to miss.
As far as special FX blockbusters go, it looks, well, see for yourself:
Slashfilm has an early review of the new GI Joe film and...shocker...it's not positive! According to the source, who's saw a rough cut back in March, the movie's pretty laughable. He even goes so far as to suggest that the whole cast could/should get Razzie nominations. Ouch! On a more upbeat note, he does say that a few of the action sequences are pretty cool. Check the full review here.
This basically goes to support what everyone with half a brain and reasonable taste has been saying about this crapfest from the get go.
