AT: I feel like that’s interesting because most would probably argue that Americans don’t have the mindset to work together and tackle something as big as a zombie attack.
MB: I was in New York on 9/11 and I think we were amazing. The whole idea of a terrorist attack was to sow terror. New York wasn’t terrorized. I spent the …
Right before hopping a plane for Comic-Con, I was on vacation with my family, and I found myself engaged in a vigorous debate about the value of 3-D.
Most people said they were sick of the whole fad, and I kept telling them that I had been in the same boat, until I sat down to see Avatar last December.

I saw Scott Pilgrim last night.
Full disclosure, this took place in the context of some major-league cosseting. I mean, pampering on the level that makes you feel like you’re some kind of evil ancient god-emperor.
First of all the Scott Pilgrim screening was a surprise screening, so just to begin with you get this climate of …
Today, Apple posted its free bumper app which allows iPhone 4 owners to sign up for their free case that will cure the iPhone 4 of its glitchy reception issues. The app itself is straightforward. Enter your information (along with your username and password) and then pick your preferred bumper – but hurry, they’re expected to run out …
Just a couple hours ago, I wrote about how celebrating Star Wars Day today at Comic-Con allowed us to look beyond all the crass industry hype and remember, just for a day, the experiences back in 1977 and 1980 that galvanized a whole generation of sci-fi nerds.
Well now, only a couple minutes later, I find myself scratching my head …
We knew Disney would be putting together another Flynn’s Arcade this year at Comic-Con but it wasn’t clear when they’d actually open the doors. The buzz over Flynn’s began last night with instructions for Twitter followers to earn access to an “exclusive event” by going on a scavenger hunt near the arcade.
I participated …
You mentioned that publishers get in touch with you once stuff is coming out. What have been recent standouts for you? Like where you have been playing a game and it has been like, okay, this works, I want this?
BioShock has some amazing sound and music. Assassins Creed II had some really fantastic stuff. We just put Uncharted 2 in …
Right across the street from Comic-Con is the Scott Pilgrim Experience–a little pavilion where you can get silkscreened Scott Pilgrim or Sex Bob-Omb T-shirts, check out the Scott Pilgrim video game, hear DJs and bands, have a flipbook made of yourself fighting, or get autographs from the movie’s cast, director Edgar Wright, and/or Scott …
It’s the same old story: Pop culture convention picketed by religious fundamentalists, religious fundamentalists picketed in return by attendees of pop culture convention to such an extent that they disappear, tails between legs. When members of the Westboro Baptist Church followed through on their threat to picket San Diego Comic-Con …
Looks like there’s yet another iPhone 4 snafoo. Apple announced today that it will delay the release date of the white iPhone 4s until “sometime later this year,” due to manufacturing difficulties. (The phones were delayed a first time in June.) Here’s the official (very brief) statement:
White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have …
Today is the annual “Star Wars Day” celebration at Comic-Con – and a poignant one at that. It was 20 years ago (make that 30 years ago) that The Empire Strikes Back hit theaters – check out our look at the first draft of the film’s script, which originally included a Chewie-Wampa brawl! – arguably better than its predecessor, proving …
Yes, yes; Joss Whedon made the news that wasn’t actually news yesterday when he confirmed that he’ll be directing the Avengers movie for Marvel Studios (joking that he was officially announcing it because Marvel was too cheap to issue a press release), but that wasn’t all there was to enjoy about the Entertainment Weekly Visionaries …
