Morning all,

This upcoming weekend marks the inevitable kick-off to the greatest event of the year… Yes, I’m talking about Comic Con. Please tell me you know what Comic Con is and why it’s so important to a trivial gnome like myself because I don’t feel like writing an entire novel. Anyways, this year’s convention is probably going to generate the most buzz of the year in terms of comics, movies, TV and video games. Yes, each seem to have their own niches and each medium of entertainment could probably fill an entire weekend itself, but Comic Con is a celebration of entertainment – all entertainment.

This year will see the panels of three of the most anticipated flicks to hit theatres in 2011. Green Lantern, Thor and… Suckerpunch? Yes, Zack Snyder and the gang from Suckerpunch are apparently going to be at Comic Con this year and I have a feeling it will come away as the darkhorse title that will generate the neccessary buzz for the upcoming release. Similar to the way Kick-Ass showed it’s stuff last year.

Here’s the spread that will be premiering in the upcoming Entertainment Weekly magazine that is all about Comic Con.

As you can see, Suckerpunch looks like it could be in the vein of Kick-Ass in that there hasn’t been a ton of news up until this point, but once it’s all revealed, will most likely be the talk of the Con. Directed by Zack Snyder and starring Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jenna Malone, Abby Cornish and Emily Browning, Suckerpunch is going to be a trip down mental street as a girl tries to escape a lobotomy by instilling the help of her inmates within her own imagination.

Next up I’m pretty excited to hear some news about Fringe‘s 3rd season. This year brings an extended cast of Lance Reddick and Blair Brown along with regulars Joshua Jackson, Anna Torv and John Noble. According to the schedule, there will be some kind of trailer shown so I’m hoping someone illegally leaks this online at some point.

That’s it for now, but I did catch Inception last night. Here’s my two sentence review:

Probably the only flick this year that I will gladly watch twice. Leo, Murphy, Page and Watanabe were all amazing, but Joseph Gordon Levitt earned himself a fan.

If you have an active imagination, go see it. If you want to read a real review, go read it.
