After attending a record setting San Diego Comicon for the weekend (over 100,000 people were in attendance on Saturday), I have to confess to still being shell shocked from the whole experience.  Hordes of people dress as Anime, Video Game, Move, and Comic book characters roamed the crammed convention center.  And that’s not even addressing the ren, goth, and original creations that people paraded about.  As always there were too many panels, too many speakers, and too many sights to be seen to be able to report on everything.  But I did manage to attend a fair bit in my time there.

 

Written by Sam Brady    The Day After Tomorrow has come, and is one of the Event Movies of summer 2004.  A big budget, big cast, big name director, and big ideas demand attention, and the constant hype surrounding the release has ensured a fairly high level of awareness and interest with the movie-going public.  An enormous number of people have seen the movie, and its box-office numbers have been near the top of the list since it was released.  It’s a success story.  There’s something about it all that I don’t understand, though.

I find it hard every year to compile a list of its ten best films. I am only a film critic in my spare time and I find it hard to catch more than 25% of the films that are out there due to time and money. Furthermore, I live in Wisconsin and a lot of the independent and art-house films that strike in LA/NY do not make it here until January and February so my list always suffers a lag. That being said, here is probably the fifth version of my top ten favorite films of 2003.

Written by Rafael Pujals and Tim Ritenour    TR: Welcome to Part 2 of Saturn Awards Coverage. This is the part where we actually got to be professional journalists and interview some of our favorite actors and directors in television and film. We did our best to dig out what scoops we could, without devolving into obsessive fanboys.

Written by Tim Ritenour and Rafael Pujals    TR: So this past Sunday, 5.18.2003, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror films went ahead and hosted their 29th annual Saturn Awards. It's kind of like the Golden Globes for anything genre, since it honors work in both television and film. Rafael "Magnus" Pujals and I managed to snag some press passes for the event, so sit back and enjoy all the scoops, interviews, and pictures we were able to garner from this event.

Written by Tim Ritenour    Tim: The last day of the San Diego Comicon was upon us, and though a slight hangover loomed in the distance, there was one more day of investigative journalism looming ahead of myself. Unfortunately I would be flying solo today, as my esteemed colleague needed the day off. Since Sunday was a much smaller and more manageable day though, this was no problem.

Written by Tim Ritenour and Rafael Pujals    Raf: It was a good thing I allotted a couple of hours on Friday for mingling and meandering around the exhibition floor, because once I looked at Saturday's schedule, I knew it was going to be jam-packed. And I don't just mean the panels, discussions, etc. - the entire convention center was literally jam-packed with hordes of fans. Saturday was definitely the big day of the Con.
