But here’s a bonus: Zennie62Media will also attend Blog World Las Vegas on January 6th to January 8th. Tout.com has sponsored almost every event coverage program that Zennie62Media has attended […]
Starship Troopers, or what this blogger calls ‘Beverly Hills 90210 in space,’ for its mix of the hottest women in Hollywood playing slightly younger high-school-age characters at the time (1997) is on television, again today. Starship Troopers features a number of actors who’s names became household words because of its success as the starting point […]
I met Ann Hoevel a year ago when I attended DragonCon for the first, and last time given what I perceive as its love and tolerance for a bit too alternative of lifestyle that goes beyond what even I will tolerate. The interview she granted was just over 6 minutes and later approved by CNN […]
The Vacationeers were part of the most fun interview I’ve ever done in my life, and I’ve done quite a few of them. The seemingly free-form, but really structured, talk (we did go over what we were going to discuss beforehand) started with an introduction of The Vacationeers: Todd Berger, Kevin Brennan, Blaise Miller, and […]
Max Brooks is becoming a legend. The writer of the popular Deadliest Warriors episode “Vampires v. Zombies” was at Comic Con 2012 after a successful Comic Con 2011 appearance. This time Max happened to be standing next to me in the hallway next to Hall 6B, and I recognized him from the 2011 Deadliest Warriors […]
Jen Friel is amazing. The woman who runs the blog TalkNerdyToMeLover.com and has her own stage show in LA, and is an all-around entrepreneur, has made a living from lifecasting, online dating, blogging, and in short ‘being digital.’ I first met Jen at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and thanks to an introduction by […]
Before The Dark Knight Rises was released, many at Comic Con 2012 were wondering if it would beat The Avengers‘ record 4-day opening weekend box office total of $207,438,708. I emphatically asserted to my two friends Keith Johnson and Henry Hanks (of CNN iReport) that this would not happen because The Avengers was a first-of-its […]
Roger Corman sat down to talk with a group of bloggers and journalists at Comic Con 2012, and what we got was a lesson in how the decision to make a 3D film can take even a legendary filmmaker down a path he didn’t expect. Corman, an Academy Award winning American film producer (Honorary Academy […]
David Glanzer is Comic Con’s Director of Marketing and Public Relations, but every time we talk, I keep giving him a promotion to Vice President. It’s become a running joke that, one day, I’m going to really embellish. But the good-natured Glanzer enjoys the humorous opening as it lays the platform for a more serious […]
Update: Starship Troopers: Invasion: Interview: Trailer: Starship Troopers: Invasion is a wonderful addition to the growing family of movies and games associated with the first movie, which used as its story platform the 1959 book by Robert Heinlein. But in the view of this blogger, Starship Troopers: Invasion is the best one of them all. […]
Roger Corman’s called “King Of The B Movies” even though he once said “to my mind, I’ve never made a B-movie in my life.” If you consider that his low-budget films can be considered “arthouse” from one perspective, he’s right. But the title sticks, and today here’s Roger Korman, pushing his latest B-movie, Attack Of […]
Ok, real quick, I’m pissed off with ID-PR, the public relations firm WIRED hired to handle the promotions and booking for the WIRED Cafe at the Omni Hotel. Look, I don’t give a flying rats ass how many celebrities WIRED Cafe has, it’s plain wrong to 1) send me a press release asking for coverage […]
Morrie Turner, the legendary Oakland-born cartoonist of such popular titles as “WeePals” will be honored today at 2 PM in Room 6 A at Comic Con 2012 in San Diego (trip sponsored by Tout.com).

Thanks to Barris Kustom Designs, the iconic builders of such television cars as The Monkees Monkiemobile, I had the chance to take my camcorder into the driver’s seat of the 1966 Batmobile. What an incredible, and incredibly restored car. More on it later, as I need to catch sleep, but it’s part of a giant […]
Readers may remember a video I posted of an interview I did with Richard Anderson, who played Oscar Goldman, the head of the Office Of Scientific Investigations, and the boss of one Steve Austin, better known as The Six Million Dollar Man. That was at the Night Of 100 Stars Oscar Party of this year. […]
Comic Con 2012 got underway today, Thursday, July 12th, and for this Tout.com – sponsored blogger it opened with a number of emails of press updates – but not as many as in years past. There are, it seems, slightly fewer media outlets here, but far more personal and social media users than ever before. […]
IT’S A DISASTER. Well, not really at Comic Con. I was given the pleasure of previewing a new movie by the LA comedy group called The Vacationers, called IT’S A DISASTER. They describe the film in this way: IT’S A DISASTER is a new end-of-the world comedy from the twisted minds of The Vacationeers comedy […]
San Diego, CA – This is my third Comic Con, thanks to Tout.com but the first one where the airplane landing left me a bit shaky. See, I was in a deep sleep when the steward woke me up; I discovered the hard way we were landing. The first thing I saw was Downtown San […]

Zombie Walk at Comic Con Friday The 13th Of July? Yes, and no Bath Salts. In fact, this blogger knows why Rudy Eugene tried to bite the face off Roland Poppo in Miami… since no bath salts were found in his system, just weed: the power of zombie suggestion. That right. So many people talking […]
Godzilla To Appear At Comic Con 2012? Yes! And Zennie62 will be there, thanks to Tout.com! Remember my 2010 interview with Godzilla producer Brian Rogers at The Variety 3D Summit? This one?

Comic Con is a giant bubble that can block you off from the World’s events – just see my Tout stream for evidence. It wasn’t until I visited the CNN Express Truck on Saturday that I learned famed singer and favorite of mine, Amy Winehouse, passed away. Russell Brand, who blogged a great post at […]
