Video Blog: Comic-Con 2009 Preview
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted:July 19th, 2009 at 12:16 pm

Peter from Slashfilm is a good friend of mine. At least a few times a week we talk about upcoming movies, TV shows, what gossip each of us have heard, and anything else we might find exciting. Since a number of our conversations cover things you also might find interesting, we’ve decided to start recording certain conversations as video blogs.
With Comic-Con on the horizon (it begins this Wednesday), we thought it would be a good idea to talk about the convention — our predictions, a preview, a look at some of the most anticipated films (Tron 2, Avatar, Iron Man 2, Kick-Ass), thoughts on the past and the future of the con, possible surprises, some of the films which might not be appearing, and why its so damn important and cool.
So if you’re excited about Comic-Con, hopefully you’ll find this video blog a nice preview. Finally, we’ll both be at the Con providing coverage, so check back later this week. Watch the video after the jump, and leave your thoughts in the comments below.

part 2


I’ll agree with peter about iron man 2. i loved the first, and cannot wait to see this one. i’m hoping jon favreau has some footage to impress and interest some people at comic con, and hopefully he’ll have some finished CGI TO SEE AT THE TRAILER. Also they should come up with a subtitle better than “iron man 2″ because that would sound fucking stupid. although i’m a little curious what james cameron brings to the table for comic con when we see avatar hopefully something we’ve never seen before.
something wrong with the video’s? Both of them seem to hang on me. Checked on two other connections.
