Comic con quotes

Since I'm sure many people have already dazzeled you all with their detailed, yet clever reports from comicon, I will not bother to write down everything. Suffice to say, the hostel was really nice (hostel cat, go there if you're in the San Diego area), the panels were both fun and interesting and I got in on a press pass, meaning I got the conferance for free and could run up in front of the stage and take pictures without feeling bad.

I will however, give you the best quotes from the conferance and a few pictures.

(oh, and I just have to say this: Yes, I saw Jensen Ackles, yes he was about 3 feet from me, no I didn't get to talk to him, but I got to talk to Eric Kripke, and though he spent the entire time he wasn't talking posing for the pictures he knew people were taking, he was both funny and halfway intelligent when he spoke. I love that man!)


Quotes

”I’m not gonna dance for you guys. I’d feel like a monkey. I’d look like a monkey.” –Joss Whedon

“Well, if he had a year to live, what would Dean do? Well, I think it’s pretty obvious. And he plans to do a lot of that…yeah, good times.” –Jensen Ackles

“It’s been 2000 years guys, let’s have a few laughs” –Seth MacFarlane on why it was wrong to sensor his joke on the last supper.

“I don’t think I’m ready for the word “hentai” to appear in my books” –Laurell K. Hamilton

“I’m reaching the end of what my wife refers to as my Marvel-midlife-crisis” –Joss Whedon

“There is nothing like looking out over 4000 people to make you think ‘Wow, I should really have prepared something.’” –Neil Gaiman

“We’re not putting My Little Ponies on the posters and saying “See Saw 4, it’s the feel-good movie of the season”, so I say fuck ‘em” –Darren Lynn Bousmann on critics who are against the Saw movies.

“There are so many really creepy things swirling around in the back of my head. I have to get them out.” –Joss Whedon

“This is a show that means something. A show that has something to say about what is happening in today’s society. I am proud to be a part of a show like that.” Richard Hatch about Battlestar Galactica.

Pics!


Neil gaiman. I alway love hearing him talk...and seeing him take his jacket off...I mean, talk about books. Yeah...


Me and chesire monkey! See, I was actually there!


Saw pushing daisies, the pilot anyway, and aren't these two just the cutest???


And when I say "these two", i of course mean mostly this guy. Oh lee pace, you who actually held my gaze until I blushed and looked away, and then smiled at me. I feel a celebrity crush coming on! ;)


Yeah that's right, this is the guy who's responsible for casting Jensen as Dean. God I love this man. Let's all send him gift baskets okay?


and here he is, the man I got up at 6 o'clock to see! The man I went to comicon to see. The man who I doubt got that I am the woman of his life...but I'm still hoping.


Look, he's got that evil look...mmmm...yummy.


See what I mean about the posing though? He was pushing his lips out and making sure his best side was facing the cameras every time he wasn't required to talk. Vain vain Jensen...


I personally think he's cuter when he doesn't pose. Agree? disagree??


Look how angry he looks. And this wasn't even when he talked about fighting. He was talking about the impala. The size of the engine and the model. I felt weak in the knees. thank god I was already sitting down.


Here he's laughing. i don't remember why. Maybe it was when he talked about Dean and sex. Mmm...dean.


see? Posing. I will say no more...


I now see that I might have gone a bit overboard with the amount of Jensen pictures. Yeah.


But then again, I mean, it's not like I posted all the 52 pics I have on my camera...plus, he is hot!


Look, it's Tom Zarek! Um, I mean, Richard Hatch. And he called me sweetheart! And I got to talk to him. Look at that hand. I shook that hand! ;)


Chesire Monkey and her Abigor 60. We were standing in line to see jessica Alba.


doesn't he look funny. I think he looks funny...


And here she is, Jessica Alba. Wow, she's so hot! So so so hot...


One more for good measure...


Oh, yeah, and I met [livejournal.com profile] chesire_monkey and [livejournal.com profile] abigor_60 again, and we hung out practically throughout the entire conferance. Which pretty much doubled the fun. thanks guys!

And I met a whole bunch of other lj-ers. It was nice to finally meet you [livejournal.com profile] brianrubin. thank you for helping me to the front of the line for Supernatural. and here I thought it would have been enough to just show up at 7.30 for a panel that started at 2.45. You knew better, and I am grateful! And you [livejournal.com profile] limminel even though we only talked for about 5 minutes. :)

I will now add all the other people I met who I've yet to friend. Excellent conferance! :)

I think I just came in my pants. :|

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! and he was right there! And he looked at me, mostly because he was nudging Kripke to leave and he was talking to me, but still! He saw me. Now he just has to realize that I'm the woman of his dreams and track me down (although i'm sure it's a little difficult since I'm travelling around in america, I'm sure he can manage). Preferably he'll come meet me in the Impala... ;)

Awesome-there can never be enough Jensen Ackles pictures ;-P And Happy Belated Birthday sweetie ;-P
*Hugs*

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :)

(And I know you'd think that. I've seen your pic spams... ;) )

[identity profile] moondropz.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I had a post wishing you Happy Birthday too-but I knew you were out and about on your vacation ;-P So I'm glad I could get to say it here too! ;-P
LOL-yes-I love to spam the Ackles ;-P Speaking of-would it be ok to use any of your Jensen pictures in a spam-with full credit to you of course ;-P That'd be cool ;-P
*Hugs*

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh feel free! Do that! Take and use as you wish (as long as you credit of course). Wow, a happy birthday-martine post? I feel special now! *goes to look for it*

(I'm dreadful at reading my flist now that I have limited internet access...

[identity profile] moondropz.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks ;-P I will credit you-I am anal about crediting ;-P It's rude if you don't!
I knew you were on your vacation-so I knew you probably wouldn't see it ;-P That's ok-as I know you're having so much fun!
*Hugs*

"Look, it's Tom Zarek! Um, I mean, Richard Hatch. And he called me sweetheart! And I got to talk to him. Look at that hand. I shook that hand! ;)"

That is one puny itty bitty hand. I don't think I've ever seen such a small hand on a man. Or on a woman. Perhaps on a child, or at least an infant, but just barely. What is wrong with the mans hand?

Alba looks great with her hear unblondeified. Didn't like it blonde. Hope she'll keep it that way for the next crappy movie she'll star in that I'll dl anyway cause she's in it.

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's the picture...his hand was really normalsized. I promise...

Oh, and yeah, she did look nice. the movie seemed crappy though, but I'll watch it. Who knows, maybe it is funny. And if not, it's still 90 minutes of alba!

[identity profile] sortkatt.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
which movie was she promoting?

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Good Luck Chuck. A romantic comedy with lots of slap-stick.

[identity profile] 45hasle.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Press pass? You cheeky devil you!
Good to hear you had a good time. It does sound rather awesome.
just don't get so blinded by all the flash and glamour that you don't want to come home to us decent folk in Norway...

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, I don't like flash and glamour. It makes me feel under- dressed and badly make-uped. (I met and had to actually have a conversation with Tiffany something, an actress. You know, one of those who actually have starred in several movies. She was wearing perfectly applied make up, and looked really great. I was wearing sweaty clothes and managed not only to spill about half of my coffee on my tits, but also to walk into a door when I left her.)

But yeah, press pass! You'd be surprised at how many people actually want to talk to you to get you to see their show, or talk about their movie, or give you free stuff if you're wearing something that says "press". Plus, I got to introduce myself as "Martine Svanevik, Norwegian journalist".

I kinda miss you guys...and the apartment. and the fact that we have normal weather. Not blistering hot and then thunderstorms...

[identity profile] 45hasle.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmm... Coffeytits...
I'll have to try that press pass trick if I ever happen upon a fitting situation.

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, problem is you actually have to write the damned things afterwards... Then again, how hard can it be?

[identity profile] 45hasle.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You do? Like hell you do! They'll never check it out anyways! Then again, if you feel like being a decent honest human being, feel free.

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-03 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I kinda do, call me crazy. (or I might just want my name on a published article...)

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-04 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup. thank you! :)

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, and I finally got my very own nick name. I would feel proud, only it was "Norway". Yeah, that's right, all the nice people in the hostel called me Norway because they couldn't pronounce Martine. But hey, at least they didn't think norway was someplace in California (like a guy who worked at Universal Studios did).

[identity profile] 45hasle.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, Norway!
Wassup, Norway?
Yeah, it's worky, but only when surrounded by crazy foreigners. We'll work on getting you a real one once you get back.

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you...Typhoid Mary just wasn't that catchy.

[identity profile] 45hasle.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. That being said, my Halvnaken is also a bit too long for catchiness.

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but at least it rhymes.

We should so make up nick names when we get home! Good plan.

[identity profile] 45hasle.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's make a deal to find at least three good nicknames for each other by new years, and decide which ones stick in some sort of drinking game at the party?

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Good plan, I'm in! Looking forward to it already...these americans aren't the heaviest drinkers, you know?

[identity profile] 45hasle.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Having tried budweiser, I can understand them. Also, It goes without saying that as Norwegians we are better than them at everything. You should stop sounding surprised. Samboucca chess again?

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what, I'm thinking yes! But maybe we should drink something a little less sweet. *trying to think of something I could drink a lot of quickly without barfing* If I can't think of anything, I'm in with samboucca! It's a good drinking game

[identity profile] 45hasle.livejournal.com 2007-08-02 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously? It was a terrible game. We only lasted what, ten, fifteen moves? And I think I was the only one who drank any...
Then again, if we could only stand tequila, it could work. But I'm sure we can find some other innocent game to horribly twist 'till it's a dreadful display of debauchery and drunkenness! We've got half a year to plan...

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-03 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Good, cause I suck at chess (but I distinctly remember having to drink too. Because I remember reaching the point where I thought I'd never ever wanna drink Sambucca again).

Drinking ludo?

I object to that

[identity profile] abigor60.livejournal.com 2007-08-03 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
When next we meet I will have to show you how much we do drink in America. Not knowing you well and other considerations prevented a more proper demonstration.

Re: I object to that

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-03 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll hold you to that you know?! So there!

(Anonymous) 2007-08-03 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I usually end up as "G", "crazy norwegian chick" or, at one time due to me drinking a lot and swimming in the pacific in november (not at the samt time), "viking girl". We are so lucky. All these really.. er, funny?... nicknamnes.

Re: Guri

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-03 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
G sound cool, "crazy norwegian chick" is less catchy (but rather accurate :p)

Viking girl. hmmm...I don't think I'll ever be that...

Re: Guri

(Anonymous) 2007-08-03 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
But G could also mean, well, G. You know. Kind of misunderstandable...

I think I'm a rather good viking girl. Tall and white (and blond if we follow anything but scandinavian standards), noisy, drinking a lot and the list goes on... I won't steal ppls stuff though.. ;)

Hopefully not rape, murder and pillage either right? Right?!

I love hearing him talk. He has this funny, rambling, yet informative way of digressing all over the place.

Damnnnnn. I can totally imagine him talking like that.

Why should everyone have bored people with details? You are the only one i know who was there.

*muttering something about not answering my text asking how it was*

but you look happy. Yay for that.

[identity profile] martinemonster.livejournal.com 2007-08-03 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, my cell phone died when I reached Albuqurque (or however you spell it). I dunno why. Never got your text (and my parents are probably going nuts...)

It was cool.

And I wrote a report from it, long and detailed, for Imagonem. (that's the real reason why I didn't wanna do it again). Do you want it? I could email it, and it's full of juicy goodness about what's up and coming in the world of geek.
