Day 1
After wandering around waiting for **** to open up, I watched Willy Wonka in its "entirety" for the first time. I'd never seen it from start to finish, but I must say it's one of those timeless classics that everyone should see. The worst part is the CD **** itself right before the best scene (tunnel of doom), so we had to skip it...bastards.
I went to a panel called "Comics as TV Afterlife," with Greg Weisman, another comic writer, and theater actor. They discussed how to adapt TV shows into comics, vice versa, and the politics that goes on. Greg mentioned how Gargoyles was a great seller for SLG comics, but licensing fees from Disney ****** over that project. He wasn't even the main writer for the comic adaptation to his own new series, Young Justice. Other writers developed the first six issues. The panel took off when I referenced continuity in film, TV, and comics. It bled into how the Internet community acts so fast to ***** and moan about any changes done to make characters appeal to broader audiences. A consensus was made that you can't please everybody, so it's all about doing what needs to be done, regardless of some butthurt fanbase.
