Real Quick SDCC Recap Day 3: Warner Brothers, Clive Standen hugs and more!

in Comic Cons on by 1 Comment

Day 3 at Comic Con (Saturday) had us spread out all over the place. From Hall H to outside the Con events to walking the floor to ultimately meeting back up at the NBC Digital party Saturday night, here is what we were up to:

Day three was just as amazing as day two was for me. I admit to feeling a little bummed that my schedule wasn’t going to allow me to go to the 4pm Evil Ink signing with Claudio Sanchez, the creator of the Amory Wars and the lead singer and mastermind behind my favorite band Coheed and Cambria. Deciding to just go by the Evil Ink booth and see what they had.

They had a Claudio Sanchez. Just hanging out like its no big deal. After shyly telling me I’m a huge fan he offered to autograph anything I wanted and take a picture with me.

Then I walked the floor and partook in my favorite past time ever. Shopping. After that lunch was had at the Blind Burro where I had some amazing coffee rubbed salmon tacos.

Finally we headed over to the Adult Swim On The Green event. They had carnival games, make your own *free* t-shirts, and a 4D experience inside a giant meatball. So much fun!

I was determined to get to the con floor and MAKE IT A GREAT DAY. I say that in caps because, no one has ever had a great day on the Con Floor. Imagine the worst crowd you’ve been in, add in lights and sounds and smells and sweaty bodies in furry costumes, and that is what the Comic Con floor is like. You HAVE to see it to believe it.

Beth and I started at Artist’s Alley (where makers and artisans get a table and can sell their stuff) and about 3 hours later almost got to the other end of the convention hall. I’m not exaggerating.

While we were making our way over to the Simon and Schuster Publishing booth, like the good book nerds we are, we got stopped on the floor by a human traffic jam and security guards. After being annoyed for a good 5 minutes, we saw THE ENTIRE CAST OF SUICIDE SQUAD before our eyes, including: Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jay Rodriguez, Jai Courtney (DIVERGENT-FAME), Jared Leto, Scott Eastwood and more! They were hamming it up for the crowd and taking selfies with everyone. It was hilarious and had the Comic-Con energy that reminds us why we put up with that crap for 4 days once a year!

Oh Yeah, Beth and also posed with THE PEACOAT that Rob Pattinson aka Edward Cullen wore #EGBTT:

We ended the night with our favorite party of the week- The NBC Digital Party. The champagne was flowing, the tacos were being eaten and there were some surprise celeb appearances I think a few others may tell you about.

I’ll probably gush about them more in the coming week, but, #TeamTN is the best. This year was our biggest and it was SO fun to spend time getting to know each other better, geeking out over shared interests and ending each day with Champagne. I adore these ladies:

From L to R: Julie, Nikki, Bekah, Beth, Laura, Brianne, Patricia, Katy

Nikki & Julie

Nikki: Julie and I spent a good part of Saturday in Hall H for the Warner Bros panel. We may have missed Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot and the gorge Chris Pine but we saw allll the things from the Brothers Warner. After having spent time the previous two days in Hall H, walking in during the Justice League panel was the most on fire Hall H had been all week.

Julie: Nik and I decided to put on extra deodorant, wear flats, and braced our loins for the Warner Bros. panel. I will admit, I almost lost my loins.

After being rejected by Comic Con security via a post-it note like Carrie Bradshaw, we were finally let in at the same time that Henry Cavill graced Hall H with his hot dad-not dad style during the Justice League panel.


Such a baaaadass little trailer. After the Suicide Squad trailer earlier this year and now this Justice League bit, I am CAUTIOUSLY optimistic about the way WB is taking the DC universe. Keep your fingers crossed but yea… we shall see!

And then WB was like, oh what the hell, let’s bring out Henry Cavill and have him not say a damn thing, why not?!

Jared Leto rocking the pink Gucci jacket…

Too bad Will Smith talked so much during the Suicide Squad panel that we barely heard anything from the actual stars of the movie… Jared and Margot. OH WELL! See you August 5th, Suicide Squad!

Julie: Future Taylor Swift breakup song subject Tom Hiddleston and his presence made the entire crowd and Brie Larson look like this:

Cause, even with all the Taylor Swift nonsense, Tom Hiddleston still does this to us. Never forget: we’re all Brie Larson.

Nikki: And then Charlie Hunnam came out for the hell of it as well and talked for a real quick second about King Arthur which looks like an interesting take on the classic tale in true Guy Ritchie style.

Julie: While promoting his King Arthur collaboration with Guy Ritchie, Charlie Hunnam contemplated his own literal body of work and announced that he was done working on his six pack abs. However, I decided that the world should not be deprived of such joys:


To cap off the WB panel, Eddie Redmayne from Fantastic Beasts (and you know, the Oscars or whatever) came out to lead everyone in a spell and we all died when he began passing out WANDS to everyone in the audience!

Nikki: I really have NO idea how Eddie didn’t melt into a puddle of nautical themed jumper, ginger hair and a wand in front of our eyes. Everyone in San Diego was positively MELTING.

Ezra Miller was all over that WB block from Justice League to Fantastic Beasts and KILLED his bit in the Justice League clip.

Julie: So, was the two hour panel worth it? Let’s see: seeing Henry Cavil’s ass, saving Charlie Hunnam’s abs and getting a wand. Yeah, I say it was worth it.

Patricia

My Day 3 involved Tom Hiddleston braving the audience questions at Nerd HQ. He confirmed what we’ve been thinking for a while now:

His wardrobe consists of three shirts and two pairs of pants.

He charmed us all. Again.

Taylor, who?

Katy

Nursing a Vikings and wine hangover, I decided to take it a little easy on Saturday. Sid and Marty Krofft were responsible for some seriously trippy kids’ shows back in the 70’s and 80’s (Land of the Lost, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl), so I just had to stop into their panel to see what they were up to. They actually presented a reboot of Sigmund and the Sea Monsters that is available on Amazon right now (!), where it is vying with several other kids’ show pilots for pick up. David Arquette, who plays Captain Barnabas in the show, moderated the panel, which was actually pretty hysterical because the Krofft brothers have been around forever, have great stories and give exactly zero fucks. It was basically the panel equivalent of hanging out with this guy:

Then it was off to the NBC party with the ladies, where nothing really interesting happened, except for this:

Clive Standen

(That’s Katy hugging Clive Standen) Total freaking waste of time. That settles it: next con I’m hanging out with the Krofft brothers instead!

(Seriously though – it was amazing! Stay tuned for a Real Quick post with all the details!!!)

That wraps up our daily #TDSDCC recaps! We were *technically* there for Day 4, but I’m not sure you want to hear about our bottomless mimosas at brunch….

Stay tuned for continued coverage all week!
