Comic-Con 2014 and The Lego Movie

So today has been an exciting day, even though there is a lot of work still waiting for me.  This morning passes for the greatest convention on earth finally went on sale.  I had been waiting since December when we were told they would go on sale.  They completely changed the process again, they still can’t seem to get it right, but at least it worked out for everyone I know.  I was able to get myself and my family tickets for all of the days that we wanted, my buddies were also able to get what they wanted.  Here is the thing though…  the process was full of stress and since it was impossible to know your place in line you had no idea if you even had a chance to get tickets.  It would have been better if while you were waiting you knew how close to the front of the line you were.  Otherwise it was fine I guess, maybe I am just a little upset that it has come to this.  I remember when only comic book fans and sci-fi fans went to the con, now it is full of tweens and anyone who wants to promote their new TV show.  Movies and TV take center stage and the comic artists get pushed to the back.  Do not get me wrong, the artist and soul is still there, or I would not be going, it is just cluttered with other noise now days.

 

Then after we got the Con situation taken care of I took the kids to see The Lego Movie,  Absolutely a great film.  Funny, and entertaining for adults and children.  Even our 4 year old loved it and has been repeating lines all day.
