So, today was (and tomorrow is) The Gathering. The Scotland-y themepark thing behind Holyrood, the centrepiece (but not best bit) of Homecoming 2009. Not to be confused with the LARP event (as Chris did, having not heard of it), the keystone of the Highlander mythos or the tacked-on subtitle of Magic.
I arrived in time to see Charles and Cam leave, and for the weather to look threatening. Sod tha' fer a game ae' sodjers.
Meanwhile, at
San Diego Comic-Con:
Peter Jackson! Tim Burton, with trailer! Terry Gilliam, with clips! James Cameron, with shakycam! And toys! Batman n3 shooting next year! Cabin In The Woods amusing teaser posters! And even
some stuff relating to comics! And also today:
Pirates 4: With the star but without the proper main characters. Of course, this stops Jack Sparrow stealing the film and running away with it, but surely trusting him with something means it'll be sold to buy a jar of rum, stolen from under his nose, set on fire and/or fall into a swamp.
