I hope that if you were able to attend this year's Fan Expo that you enjoyed it as much as I did and I can't wait for next year. Let the countdown begin
My day at Fan Expo 2012 in Toronto at the Metro Convention Centre
First I want to say it was awesome. I had a lot of fun except for a couple irritations but other than that it was fantastic and I can't wait until next year, or Comic Con in March in Toronto
The highlight for me was the autographs I got: I got to meet Chris Sarandon who was in The Nightmare Before Chrsitmas as Jack Skellington and Fright Night. He was super nice. Next was Nelsan Ellis from True Blood, he plays Lafayette and he was great. He was cool. Next I got a picture from acclaimed artist Tony Moore whose work has been seen in The Walking Dead comics. Here's some pics:
Pretty Cool Eh!!!!!
Here is some of the cool pics of the celebrities I saw:
Alan Tudyk - Serenity
Chris Sarandon signing my autograph
Christopher Lloyd - Back to the Future & Addams Family
James Marsters - Buffy the Vampire Slayer & House on Haunted Hill
John Carpenter - Halloween plus many more
Lou Ferrigno - The Original Hulk
Nelsan Ellis - True Blood
Norman Reedus - The Walking Dead & Boondock Saints
Rose McGowan - Jawbreaker & Grindhouse
Stan Lee
Tony Todd - Candyman
So overall I had a great time and saw some great people.
My next post will be pictures from the Frankenweenie exhibit
The following pictures are from the first couple of days of Fan Expo. I wasn't there myself but these are some photos that were put on the Fan Expo page on Fan Expo Facebook Page
Seeing this picture showing all the vendors I think I'm going to have to limit myself on what I can buy, I think I could get into a little trouble.
Stan Lee (creator of Marvel comics like Spiderman, X-Men, Ironman do I need to continue) blowing out the candles on the 50th Anniversary of Spiderman cake. I wish I would have been there. I think next year I'm going to get tickets to all the days so I don't miss anything.
Just had to add this pic saying what we all say when we talk about Stan Lee, coolest man ever!!!!
Picture of a little Thor getting their comic signed by a legend, I love Stan's smile in this pic. It's like he's genuinelyhappy to be there and I think that makes him an amazing man.
And this is the pic of the Frankenweenie exhibit at Fan Expo and I can't wait. Anything Tim Burton makes me happy :)
Well I hope you enjoyed the little taste of Fan Expo because with these pictures it will help me get through until Sunday
Tim Burton how I love thee, let me count the ways. One day I would love to crawl into his mind and see what goes on in there. The way he makes his worlds so dark and eerie but he adds in sharp beautiful colours that contrast against the grey's and blacks is beautiful.
I'm going to list some of my favourite Tim Burton Movies
The Nightmare Before Christmas
I don't know any other way to say this is the best cartoon, best movie, best everything ever. I love this movie so much. I can watch it over and over again but I have to watch it alone because my friends and family get irritated to me narriating the dialogue and songs. My 5 year old niece and 2 1/2 year old nephew absolutly love this movie plus my brother has Jack Skellington tattoo on his forearm with the rest of the cast planned as a sleeve (once it's done I will provide pictures)
I know Tim Burton did not direct this movie but it is written by him and the characters were of his design so I still classify it a Tim Burton film
Synopsis(For anybody who doesn't know what this movie is about) Jack Skellington, king of Halloweentown, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn't quite understand the concept. (IMDB)
Beetlejuice
Oh Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetle... Oh I almost said it. Oh hell Beetlejuice. Damn it, he didn't show up :(
Michael Keaton made this movie. I never knew he had a comedian streak in him but damn he's funny. Plus Alec Baldwin pre 30 rock and Geena Davis plus Winona Ryder and Catharine OHara, hell this movie has to be good right? Well yes it is, it's not only good but faboulous. It's amazing from Beetlejuice and all his jokes, Lydia and her depressed gothic feel and the dinner party dance to Day-O, see below.
If there is anybody out there that has never seen this movie they need to do it now!, I mean now!!!!
Synopsis: A couple of recently deceased ghosts contract the services of a "bio-exorcist" in order to remove the obnoxious new owners of their house. (IMDB)
Mars Attacks
Okay so I bet now everybody is thinking Nightmare before christmas, okay, Beetlejuice, okay, but Mars Attacks?????????
Seriously you should give this movie a chance if you haven't seen it. It's hilarious with a great cast. You have Jack Nicholson playing two character, Martin Short playing an idiot who gets his finger bitten off, Annette Bening as an airhead hippy. To round out the cast Glenn Close, Pierce Bronson, Danny Devito, Michael J Fox, Natalie Portman, Lukas Haas, Pam Grier, Tom Jones. Overall a hilarious movie with aliens that sound like ducks when they talk LOL
Synopsis: The Earth is invaded by Martians with irresistible weapons and a cruel sense of humor. (IMDB)
Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barbar of Fleet Street
So at first I thought Johnny Depp in a musical, um okay. Then I watched this movie and fell in love with it. Again Tim Burton plays with dark colours with reds and other brighter colours contrasting against it showing a beautiful and eerie back drop for his musical. To top it off Helena Bonham Carter is amazing in this film. I really enjoy her as a actress and I know that her and Tim are in a relationship and that's maybe why she's in a lot of his movies but at the same time with her gothic feel she's perfect for his movies.
Synopsis: The infamous story of Benjamin Barker, a.k.a Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop down in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett. Based on the hit Broadway musical. (IMDB)
Sleepy Hollow
Okay again we have another Johnny Depp Tim Burton movie. And like I said earlier that Helena Bonham Carter fits so well in Tim's movies well it's the same for Johnny. Johnny has that je ne sais quoi for these movies. This movie again uses the colours working against each other creating beautiful magic plus Christina Ricci just makes it so much better. Oh and I can't forget Christopher Walken as the bad guy, can it get any better???
Synposis: Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of 3 people with the culprit being the legendary apparition, the Headless Horseman.(IMDB)
I know there are a lot more movies to add to this list and maybe I will but these are my favourite because of different reasons. I hope if you haven't checked these movies out by this fabulous director/writer you should and open your eyes to Tim Burton's magical worlds.
