Star Wars Movie
I can't tell you how excited I am for Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker to see how J.J. Abrams closes out my favorite movie saga. I know I will be very caffeinated for this.
JOKER
The newest DC Movie causes a ruckus amongst fans and the media for #JOKER; and we all have our favorite Joker.
Here is our favorite played by Stuart Mazzeo.

The Best Party at Comic-Con
Nerd HQ had a party every single night of San Diego International Comic-Con and they would out last most parties in the Gaslamp District that weekend. Nobody parties likes Nerds do. Block 16 is a cool place to dance all night long and they pour a stiff drink. The food is served by Lucky's Diner in the front and it is delicious stuff. Please visit there and thank the staff ans owners for a good time the next time you are in San Diego.
The VIP platform, for the slew off celebrities that frequented Zach's parties, was in sight of the dance floor and very interactive friendly for the fans; but that's not the real driving force behind this all weekend party. Zach was directing the tone of the party with microphone in hand and singing along with his favorite song. The Chuck cast danced the night away as other celebs came and went, but that is not the reason that their is a special feeling that is palpable.
This place has a reason to celebrate and they worked hard to have all this fun. Nerd HQ, like The Nerd Machine, is ran by loving people that volunteer their time and efforts to make all of this happen for us and the world. David and Zachary have raised thousands of dollars for Operation Smile through The Nerd Machine. This year they went above and beyond, in only it's second year, what they raised last year by raising $140,000 for Operation Smile. That is no small accomplishment and in fact it is pretty Fraking amazing. Considering the raised $40,000 in year one.....it begs the question. How much can we raise next year?
Steph reached out to me on Twitter to tell me that she will be forever grateful to the way she was treated at Nerd HQ. She tells me it's not easy to be an autistic adult, but she did not feel that way when she was there and complete strangers helped her cross the street. Other stories like that have been popping up left and right. This place is full of genuinely kind hearted people that I have watched give of themselves, not just $, time and time again. I am in awe of these Nerds and wish the world had more people like them in it.
So not only are the panels jam packed with great celebrities and visionaries artists, but they are much more accessible than Comic-Con panels are. Plus it's nice knowing that you have an assigned seat and that your money is going to give someone the gift of a smile. That makes me smile. Thanks for changing people's lives Zachary Levi, David Coleman and Courtney Coleman. Thank you Nerds for making a difference.

You're Not 38
So I had the chance to have a great conversation with Marilyn Ghigliottia and J.C. Tregarthen as the WonderCon floor was winding down and the over head announcer guy was informing us that they will be closing.....soon.....I don't know.....I wasn't listening to him. We talked about life as a celebrity, comic cons, fans, and a bunch of other topics; but I was fascinated by one thing and really only went over to ask her one question.
"How often do guys come over and quote the famous scene or shout it at you?"
"Oh, 37? All the time." Marilyn Ghigliottia says referring to the famous BJ argument between Dante and Veronica in the 1994 View Askew production of 'Clerks'. "I would never have done that scene if I was worried about it."
As it turns out this is not original way for you to meet her and it is in no way an effective pick up line. So don't get any funny ideas about #38. She has a great sense of humor about it and is very use to it at this point; but don't think you are original if that is your idea of a funny ice breaker.
In 2008 Marilyn was in 'Dead and Gone' and has a haunting effect on the main character. Is he insane or is her ghost haunting him? Watch the movie to find out.
Recently released on DVD was the 2011 release of 'Alien Armageddon' by Neil Johnson. "Not the major blockbuster version", she jokes. The story of a young women who is trying to find her daughter in a city controlled by an invading alien army. Now, I see why she joked after reading the synopsis.
She is a lovely woman and fun to talk to, but doesn't do a lot of conventions. So if you are in Anaheim this weekend then stop by her WonderCon booth to have a chat. She is super gracious and love the fans. "If it wasn't for them we wouldn't do this." she says about the industry.
At the end of the day she wants to spend some quality family time so don't expect her at a con near you too soon. So come see her this weekend and try to come up with a more interesting starter topic then 37.
