mericans like to supersize things, and that includes their annual
convention for all things geek – Comic-Con International.
Satisfying the enormous appetites of sci-fi fans, anime lovers,
filmgoers, TV addicts, pop vinyl, action figure and comic book
collectors, Comic-Con takes over the Californian city of San Diego
for four days each year, bringing with it a carnival atmosphere
that accentuates the experience.
STACK
had the opportunity to
cross it off our bucket list this year – from a meeting with current
Doctor Who Peter Capaldi and
Who
/
Sherlock
showrunner Steven
Moffat, to breathing the same air as Jennifer Lawrence at the
Mockingjay - Part 2
press conference, attending a panel in the
Convention Centre’s legendary Hall H featuring Quentin Tarantino
and his new film
The Hateful Eight
, and marvelling at the creativity
of the legion of cosplayers, whose costumes ran the gamut from
studio prop quality to the rudimentary cardboard and sticky tape
variety, Comic-Con delivered more than we expected. Share the
experience beginning page 12, and head to
stack.net.au/movies/news for further coverage, announcements and trailers.
