Day 3
Moulin rouge & times sq
October 19, 2022 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 10 °C
After our dinner we went to MOULIN ROUGE. I was so excited. We were in the back back row but it was amazing. I didn’t really have any expectations regarding the show, but it was above all that.

It was also the first time that one of the main characters was switched after the break because his voice couldn’t take it anymore. We got an understudy, but it was just as good.

After we were blown away from the show we went to times sq. It amazes me how different it is then during the day. All the lights are intens. We got really thirsty so we went to the nearest McDonald to grab something to drink. To discover that a large medium or small soda is only $1. I mean you’re paying $4 for a water, but soda is only one, no matter the size. America is weird you know.

After our confusion about the drinks we went back to the Airbnb. We walked, but we took an ally with a lot of bum. Which felt super uncomfortable, so we continued because there was no turning back, but stayed close. After we came out of the ally we almost all said together that we never taking that one again.

Weird how one ally can be/feel dangerous but the other one is just fine.

We ofcourse made it safe back to our Airbnb and got tucked in for a good night sleep.Read more

Day 3
NYCC Day #1
October 5, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
First day of NYCC (New York Comic Con) kicked off this morning. One of the biggest pop culture and geek events in the world. With close to 200,000 people attending this event (!) it is indeed very crowded everywhere!

I visited the first panel of the con which focused on a remake of the movie The Watcher in the Woods, directed by Melissa Joan Hart. She was there to talk about the movie, and we saw a clip of it. Not bad.

Later I attended a panel about a weird new animated series voiced by Michael Madsen, Carl Weathers and Vivica A. Fox who were all present. I saw Michael at the London con a few months ago, and he’s always up for a great story or two! It was also fun to see 80s action hero Carl Weathers from Rocky and Predator.

My next panel was about an audiobook of a novel by the guy who wrote The Martian. The panel featured the lovely Rosario Dawson who is the voice talent used for the audiobook. I saw her at Wizard World in Chicago last year and she’s just amazing!

After browsing the show floor for some time, I had a photo shoot with none other than Mark Hamill from Star Wars! Really fun to meet Luke Skywalker in person.

The con had some other events that I was interested in, but I rushed out of there (and got a whiff of the sun and 28 degrees Celcius!) to attend a movie screening at the beautiful Lincoln Center. The movie was the world premiere of a documentary about Steven Spielberg, as part of this year’s New York Film Festival. Funnily I saw Spielberg in person exactly two years ago at the same festival for the premiere of his new movie at the time. Now he was here again!

It was a great documentary, and definitely quite surreal to watch it with Spielberg himself in the room, presumably watching it for the first time himself. The director Susan Lacy did a Q&A afterwards about the comprehensive project. Great experience.

To finish off another busy day in style, I went to see a stand-up show with Jerry Seinfeld. I’ve been a Seinfeld fan for many years so it was great to see him perform live. As I’m writing this there is a new interview with him on TV.

After Seinfeld it was time to move over to a much better hotel, the InterContinental in the Times Square area.Read more

Day 4
NYCC Day #2 + New Yorker Festival
October 6, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Another day at NYCC! While most of the con takes place at a huge convention center, some of the events and panels have been moved to venues offsite. I spent most of the day at those places to get a bit away from the crowds. Ultimately I got to attend four panels:

- The World of Philip K. Dick
Cast and crew from two shows based on stories by the popular science fiction author. I was not familiar with the shows, but I’ve watched films based off short stories by Philip K. Dick and quite enjoyed those.

- Pacific Rim Uprising
World premiere of the trailer for the second film in the series, coming out in March 2018. Some of the cast members were there, like Scott Eastwood and John Boyega of Star Wars fame. Pretty cool panel.

- Robot Chicken
Another weird animated (or stop-motion rather) show I’ve never watched, but the cast members (who do voices on the show) were a lot of fun and very entertaining. The main stars were Seth Green, Breckin Meyer and Macauley Culkin! Of all people. Kevin is all grown up.

- Lucasfilm
A panel about the cartoons, books and various Star Wars related stories by authors who work for the official franchise. I’m not familiar with the material, but it’s always fascinating to observe how influential Star Wars has become.

After NYCC I had some dinner, and made my way to the Gramercy Theater for a Q&A and live interview with actress Glenn Close - part of The New Yorker Festival. It was quite interesting to hear her discuss her craft and some of her memorable roles. The one I associate her with primarily is of course Fatal Attraction. It was fascinating to hear her talk about working on it, and watch a clip from the movie with her sitting right there in front of us. Intimate and insightful.

About 40 blocks north I then attended another event by The New Yorker - a live interview with Jerry Seinfeld! Yup, the very same man I saw perform live last night around the same time even. Tonight it wasn’t a performance - instead he was interviewed on stage by a moderator in front of a relatively small audience. He was asked many questions about his career and about comedy in general. It was very interesting to hear more about all the technical things involved in delivering jokes - at least in the way he approaches it. With Seinfeld being one of my all time favorite shows it was a treat to hear and see the titular man himself talk about it - in person.Read more

Day 5
NYCC Day #3
October 7, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Day 3 and 5 panels! All of them offsite this time.

- Ash vs. Evil Dead
The stars of this pretty crazy but very funny show came out to talk about it and their characters, and they also screened the first episode of the upcoming new season. Apparently the episode won’t be out for several months. I mainly attended the panel to see the star of the show, Bruce Campbell! I saw him at a different comic con last year and he was hilarious. It was great to see him again.

- Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I like the Marvel franchise, but this is one of the many Marvel-related shows that I haven’t had a chance to watch. Nevertheless it was interesting to see the cast and producers talk about it, and there was footage from the upcoming season.

- Star Trek: Discovery
Another show I haven’t really watched (the NYCC lineup this year didn’t match a lot of my interests sadly!) They had a lot of the cast though, and a few surprises.

- Stan Lee interview
At this point in the schedule they were supposed to have a panel about The Punisher, but it was cancelled due to the events in Vegas. Instead they screened a recent interview with Marvel legend Stan Lee. I really like him and the interview was interesting. However it was rather disappointing that he wasn’t actually there in person.

- An evening with Mark Hamill
The last panel of the night was actually a separately ticketed event. They know how to take your money! It was a great event though - two hours with Mark Hamill just talking about his career and work. There was no moderator, so he was rambling a bit at times and got off track constantly! But he’s Luke Skywalker so he can do anything he wants :)Read more

February 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 2 °C
Hatte einen super Sitzplatz. Direkt im Gang. Wir waren zu zweit in der Reihe. Das Essen im Flieger war super (von HILTL). Habe mir drei Filme angeschaut und bin froh wenn wir jetzt ankommen. Hinter mir sitzt jemand der immer gegen den Stuhl drückt, sehr mühsam. Ne echt doofe Tante.

Das Wetter scheint nicht gut zu sein. Regen und vier Grad.Read more
