Comic-Con, as always, was a raucous success in our lovely city, and despite the uncharacteristic humidity, it seems everyone had a great time. So&#8230; what were the hits and misses of the largest Comic Convention in the world? Let&#8217;s discuss, nerds. <\/p>\n<p><b>AWESOME:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The movie trailers! Sweet, sweet movie trailers! I always enjoy getting a sneak peek at upcoming movies, despite the fact that there&#8217;s a 90% chance I&#8217;ll wait till I can Netflix them so I can watch them in my pajamas. Some of the top trailers:<\/p>\n<p>1. <b>Oz, The Great and Powerful<\/b><\/p>\n<p><object style=\"height: 390px; width: 640px\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/yyywumlnhdw?version=3&#038;feature=player_embedded\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/yyywumlnhdw?version=3&#038;feature=player_embedded\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/embed><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>JAMES FRANCO!

This story of an 8-bit videogame villain who wants to clean up his act looks sweet and silly without being overly-saccharine. Extra points for John C.

It was a HUGE bummer though, not to have Tyrion Lannister, the world&#8217;s most bad-ass &#8220;half-man&#8221; around for the panel. We learned that the season 3 will premiere March OF NEXT F***ING YEAR, and a few new cast members. Other than that, I&#8217;ve heard farts with more interesting information.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p><b>The Straight-Up Whack<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Whatever this is going to be.
