bored jedi elvis
i'm back from the land of cartoon violence and nerd prom. i've never been to comic con before. there were over 100,000 people there. and it wasn't just all about comic books and klingons. i met several sweet artists and danced with the underbelly of pop culture. good times.
saturday i sat in on a panel of rob zombie and his cast from devils rejects. it comes out july 22. they showed the first scene - bout 15min of the movie. will be good. Tiny, aka Matthew McGrory, was there. He is the Guinness Book Record Holder of the largest shoe size: 29 1/2. he stands: 7ft 6 inches. He also drums and was the human sasquatch in Bubble Boy.
we scooted over to the ralph bakshi session. he is the annimator behind fritz the cat, heavy traffic, and the newly remasterd fire and ice. he was very inspriational. he does what he does and isn't interested in being famous or such shit. he obviously has a passion for his work and is very excited about a new project he is working on - which actually puts him on a computer. he normally is old school and encourages every artist to use the pencil and paper.
then we got in line for the tenacious D show. we were there early and caught the tail end of jamie fox and that stealth movie cast and director. yawn. then the king kong cast came out: jack black, adrian brody, naomi watts. was hilarious. noone seemed interested in talking to anyone up there but jack black. and all questions were about the D and when their movie was coming out. black also said he is working on a idea with napolean dynomite director for something. hmm. cool. brody even got up at one point and acted like he was pissed off and walking off the stage. jack black said: "that's some good acting. i thought he was serious".
then they suited up for tenacious D. and they did rock. for bout 45min. it was raunchy and wonderful. we saw them in austin at the austin music hall a few years ago. the intensity remains. obviously, they too enjoy what they do. the gestapos at the conference hall threatened us with ejection if we recorded or took any pictures during the performance. the first thing kyle said when he took the stage was: "take all the pictures u want. record this and put it on the internet. don't listen to them." ha. but i was still spooked and didn't want to miss the show cuz i got thrown out. here's jack black on the king kong panel.
