Comic*Con 2010

Anyone going?

 

In two weeks San Diego Comic Con kicks off again, the biggest annual geek celebration on the planet with over 130,000 people cramming the South Californian city and convention center for the five-day event.

 

The entire convention sold out ages ago and hotel rooms across the city have been booked out for months. I've been every year since 2001 and will be back again as usual, mostly in Hall H covering the various panels, and then likely drunk at the various parties afterwards.

 

The official site has revealed the schedule which is fairly well spread out this year with Thursday and Saturday being the big ticket days for film panels. The 6,000 seat Hall H once again is where most of the cinema-related stuff will be announced or screened and here's its schedule all on its own:
