Comic-Con: The Only Thing I’m Upset To Miss

By Karina Longworth posted 4 months ago

Unlike so many stalwarts of the movie blogosphere, I’m not going to San Diego tomorrow for the 2009 edition of Comic-Con International, and for the most part, I’m totally fine with that — I got my fill of shouting into the void last year. But one thing I never seem to get my fill of, is the annual Troma panel, and this year it seems like Lloyd Kaufman and friends are planning to take the stupid-fun madness up a notch with the Troma Roast. Monty Python’s Terry Jones, Penelope Spheeris, Trey Parker & Matt Stone, Ron Jeremy, Mick Garris and Stan Lee are just some of the boldfaced names who are schedule to show up to roast Kaufman on Saturday night. The full lineup of guests is listed at the bottom of the schedule here.

According to the Troma message board, the panel will be broadcast on G4 as part of their Comic-Con coverage, but searching G4’s site it seems like their “live coverage” ends a couple of hours before the roast starts, so I’m not sure when/if it’ll actually air. If you can figure it out, let us know in the comments.

Murder, Talks and Comics: Trade Roughage 04/02/08

April 15 certainties: someone will die, Karina will weep as the IRS cleans out her checking account, and SAG will meet with the AMPTP to begin talks to head off a strike.
Woah! Up until now, the Anthony Pellicano wiretapping trial has been painfully boring, mostly because we already had an inkling that Courtney Love was willing to spend money to justify her paranoia. But yesterday, Adam Sender testified that Pellicano had offered to have Aaron Russo, a producer with whom Sender had a business falling out, “murdered on the way back from Las Vegas.” Say it with me now: !!!
If you are a Stan Lee nerd, or one of those people who is painfully obsessed with the Walt Disney Company’s every move, this Variety story might mean something to you.
