I can not even begin to tell you how much fun I had tonight! Here’s the short version. I organized a little party for tonight here in San Diego for a few of the movie websites to get together and hang out, and to give everyone a chance to meet and hang out with the creators of Crank and the upcoming movie “Pathology” (Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor).
In the picture you can see (from left to right) Jessica (FirstShowing.Net), Peter (SlashFilm.Com), Me, in front is Kevin (Cinematical.com), Vic (Screenrant.com), John (Screenrant.com) and Alex (FirstShowing.Net). Other’s came late after the picture was taken. There was much drinking… a LOT of drinking… more than I’ve drank in years actually… and I had a WONDERFUL time. I’m pretty sure we all did.
As an added bonus, Milo Ventimiglia came to the party as well (Heroes, and stars in Pathology) and he brought along his Heroes cast mates Zachary Quinto (who is also the new Mr. Spock for the upcoming new Star Trek movie) and Masi Oka. Zach and I talked a bit about his new role as Spock and what it means to him. He’s such a laid back, humble and engaging guy… much like Milo. Masi is the world’s sweetheart right now, but you’d never know from chatting with him that he’s even aware he’s famous (other than people interrupting us asking for his autograph… which is totally understandable). All three of these guys are so new to fame, and seem to handle it with much grace that other celebs could learn a thing or two from. Much fun.
At one point Brendan from Lakeshore Entertainment took us all down to a reserved boardroom to show us all the very first screening of the Pathology trailer WHICH WAS FRICKIN WICKED! We all went back upstairs to the roof top beach party area and kept going till they closed the palce down at 2am. I had SOOOO much fun. It was a genuine treat to meet and hang out with the web guys. We liked it so much we started talking about doing it again apart from comic con sometime soon.
I’m including a bunch of pictures from this evening. Check it out:

Like I said, a good time was had by all… these people were all so much fun to hang out with. I must come back next year and do this again!
