It's a relatively quiet day Around the Blogosphere, but I guess that is to be expected with San Diego Comic-Con now in full swing. There have been a lot of exciting happenings IN the office today. Emmanuelle Chriqui -- ie Sloan from "Entourage" -- was a guest on "It's On With Alexa Chung" today, and it caused quite a stir in the newsroom as people rushed downstairs to gawk.
We also debuted the awesome "Ninja Assassin" trailer this morning. Exclusive or not, I'm a sucker for slickly produced martial arts action and that's exactly what the trailer delivers. But then, I would expect no less from the Wachowski Brothers/Joel Silver production team. What else is popping out there you ask? Keep reading to know the score.
-- Yesterday I showcased the rainbow-colored multitude of San Diego Comic-Con guides floating around the blogosphere. I've got one more for you, but like the shift in tone from "Batman" to "Batman Begins," this one embraces the darkness. Taking a look at the seedy underbelly of SDCC, Latino Review runs through five reasons why the convention "sucks." (Latino Review)
-- Frequent MTV Movies Blog contributor Chris Campbell has a list up on SpoutBlog, spun off tomorrow's release of "Orphan." There are plenty of "Orphan"-spun lists floating around this week, but Chris's wins for breaking down the list according to a series of psych profile-esque orphan "types." He also works in not one but two (well, one and a half) "Star Wars" nods. Win. (SpoutBlog)
-- Film Junk ran a poll last week in honor of the 10th anniversary of "The Blair Witch Project": which movie had the best viral marketing campaign. "Blair Witch" falls in at number two, behind "Cloverfield." I guess it makes sense, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. The older flick definitely earned more in the box office earnings-to-budget ratio. (Film Junk)
