After last year’s Comic-Con I was worn out, my flight to and from San Diego had been canceled and rescheduled, I was ready to slap anyone wearing a costume and I may or may not have made a commitment then and there to not attend this year. My partner in crime, Kath from Give Me My Remote felt the same way and so we went about our year not planning on returning to San Diego for 2009.

When I was laid off, the decision seemed like perfection. I would have less money for one and if I got a new job, chances were it would be closer to the Con and I wouldn’t have the time off available to me that I’ve had in the past. Obvious, right?

Flash-forward to the middle of July and I start regretting my decision. I’m still unemployed and with the Press Pass and a probable free flight I started wondering why the frak I didn’t go. The answer was simple though, I was competing in my first triathlon and that was Comic-Con weekend. It was a distraction for the actual weekend but not the time leading up to and during the start of SDCC09.

Once all of my blogger friends, PR folks from the networks and shows started plotting their schedules, the interviews, the press rooms, etc. I really started to have mini-panic attacks that I would be missing out on all the fun and yes, even the chaos.

Here are the things I’ll have missed most about not having been at Comic-Con this past weekend:

Obviously the list could go on for days but off the top of my head these are the things that annoyed me while I was at home all weekend. There are more online friends and PR people that I didn’t give a shout out to but I would have loved to hang with all of you as well and maybe next year we’ll be back in full swing! SDCC2010 or Bust!

*sigh*

I’ve been waiting foreeeeeeeeeever for some actual footage of AMC’s remake of the classic (and cramazing) TV series THE PRISONER. While I’m a little iffy on the updates and the new “village”, I love the concept and Ian McKellen’s performance in this preview is incredible.

Oh, who am I kidding? I’m sold… hand me a number!

Watch the extended preview of AMC’s remake of THE PRISONER:

THE PRISONER will premiere on AMC this November!

I’ve been very intrigued by AMC’s redux of the incredible late 60’s series THE PRISONER since it was announced late last year.

Finally we’re getting a sneak peek at what the series will look like, how the new actors will embody the characters we know and love from the original and I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty psyched!

AMC’s THE PRISONER will air as a 6 hour mini-series sometime in 2009 with Jesus Jim Caviezel as Six and Sir Ian McKellan as Two! I cannot wait!

On a side note: I’m still sad that co-creator and star of the original, Patrick McGoohan died before this was finished.

Hey, maybe that means this will be as big as RENT? God, I hope it’s better… I want 525,600 minutes of my life back for that piece of shit.
