Queues of total insanity. The lines were probably bigger than my entire village ;P

Ooh, Resisdent Evil! Pretty!

The lines were insane. Totally insane. I dunno how they can make them easier, though.

Resident Evil looks pretty but dreadful. The 3D they are using is laughably horrible.

Has there been a Resident Evil sequel that wasn't pretty but dreadful? Is such a thing even possible? I only watch them for attractive ladies with large guns kicking ass ;P

No, there hasn't been a sequel that wasn't awful. Honestly, the first movie wasn't that good.

I think those are perfectly acceptable reasons to watch the films. Surely those are the only reasons to watch them.

I know, right? It's kind of insane.

Well, ComicCon is deciding where it's going to be after 2012. It could go to Vegas or somewhere around LA.

Although, to be honest, neither appeals to me. I can't imagine camping overnight in either place.

I think they need to accept that in some cases the TV panels are bigger and will draw more of a crowd than some of the movie ones.

Sure, Harry Potter, Tron, JJ and Joss talking, Marvel comics and the like will draw in huge crowds but there are others that just won't, so why not put them in Ballroom 20 and have the TV in Hall H? Especially on Sunday when they didn't even use Hall H.

There were people (I'm guessing newbies) who were showing up to panels about an hour/hour and a half before the panel started and then getting really hacked off that they didn't get in. I doubt that's been enough time to leave it for a while now.

I agree with you, that it's something they should consider because sooner or later they aren't going to be able to get everyone on site.

I'd definitely pay for internet access to the panels.

I KNOW!!! It's by far the worst I've seen it. Of course, more people than ever were there - 125,000 tickets were sold. But the problem is that the number of people the rooms can hold doesn't increase. In the last few years getting to the line about two and a half/three hours before the panel started meant you'd get a good seat. Now, it seems four hours isn't enough.

I'd totally recommend it. It eats away your bank account but it is definitely worth it. And I would selflessly offer my time to go over there with you and show you the ropes.

Nothing in it for me at all *whistles*

What can I say? I'm just that thoughtful *G*

And I can't believe you're insinuating anything else.
