TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3982 -     This past Saturday was the Review Meeting & Potluck Party for the volunteers of the San Diego Comic Fest.

The event was held at the Old Poway Park Gazebo at 14134 Midland Road, Poway, CA, starting at noon.

Mike Towry, the San Diego Comic Fest founder led the group with bringing in tables to place the Potluck Party dishes.

Kim Stadler, (shown at the left in the second photo above), gave a full report of what had happened at the 2013 Comic Fest, and what we could look forward to at the 2014 Comic Fest!

Kim will be in charge of the room at the top of tower for 2014.  The theme has not yet received approval from the owners of the license of the intellectual property, so I'm not mentioning it here yet.

The 2013 San Diego Comic Fest had many additional attendees over the 2012 count, but still not enough for the non-profit organization to move to the other side of the Town & Country Resort for 2014.  So the Comic Fest will stay on the East side of the resort for 2014.

There is a big need for more volunteers for 2014... You are invited to join us to help organize next year's convention.

The link to the Facebook Fan Page for the San Diego Comic Fest can be found here.

Thanks to all of those that came to this special Review Meeting & Potluck Party!

Here is the link to the rest of the photos not shown at the top right of this blog.

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3981 -     Today is Veterans Day...  So what exactly is Veterans Day?  Here's the Wikipedia entry for this holiday.

Plus... Here are my previous years blogs on Veterans Day: 2007, 2008, 20092010, and 2011.

I'm not a veteran... Just a Navy Brat.  But I appreciate the fact that my Dad was a veteran, as well as several of my extended family members.

My thanks to them and those of you that have served this country in the Armed Forces.  

Happy Veterans Day!

~ Michael

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3979 -     I wanted to mention again that NEXT weekend, November 16th & 17th is the 5th Annual Nuke the Fridge Con at Frank and Son Warehouse in the City of Industry!

The above flyer shows just some of the stars that will be at this convention.  In addition there will be (Saturday only!) Angela Cartwright, who I had a crush on when she starred in 'Lost In Space' from 1965 - 1968!

I'm not for sure if I will be attending either day... But I had fun when I sat up there with a table back in December of 2011, see my blog #3551 for details!

Here is the link to the Facebook event page for the 2013 Nuke the Fridge Con!

My Take On: Thor - The Dark World Film!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On...
 
Thor: The Dark World
A 2013 Film
 
As Viewed On November 8th of 2013!
 
  
 alt=

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3978 -     Okay... I'm back from viewing the second of the Thor films from Marvel!

My previous review blog #3407 reviewed the May of 2011 Thor film.  Here's the link to that review. As you can see from reading that blog, I was totally surprised at the quality of that first film!

So what's my thoughts on this film?  Here goes...

First, if you are into previews, here's the link to the Wikipedia entry on the film.  SPOILER WARINING! It gives away a LOT of the film!

Secondly, I've gotta admit... The Storyline of this 2013 film was fantastic!

Not in the 'fantasy' fantastic sense of the word, but that it was a fantastically smoothly written screenplay!  The different locations were worked in properly, and the cutting of the film was done superbly!

The scenes and CGI were done very well, and not 'comic-booky' at all!   Very well directed and produced film in my opinion!

The cast were smoothly integrated and I was wrapped up in the film due to the storyline and the cast of characters!

Standouts in the film were Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Zachary Levi as Fandral, and Stan Lee as a patient in a mental ward, (Stan's cameo appearance)!

Of course I waited till the very end of the credits to see the final scene of the film.  That was both nice to see and also funny!

There was also a scene after the main credits were run.

All in all, this film was worth the money I paid to see it!  It was the meshing of the great storyline and the cast of characters that did it for me!

I would give it a NEAR MINT (NM) 9.4 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale.

I urge you to see this film, especially if you saw the first Thor film, or the Avengers film from last Summer!

~ Michael!
