The Twilight Saga New Moon Trading CardsAt last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, we were able to snag posters and a few sets of the Twilight trading card samples for a giveaway.

This year at the Con, we braved the crowds at the Summit Entertainment booth once again to bring you some Twilight Saga: New Moon posters and trading card samples! We have 3 sets of cards and 3 posters to give away to some lucky fans.

The sealed New Moon sample trading card set includes five trading cards: one each for Jared, Paul, Embry, and Sam with character bios and quotes on the back; the fifth card contains an image of all four of them, with info on the Quileute Wolf Pack on the back. See image here at right (click for larger, full view) of the front of the cards. The poster is the teaser seen here: ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Teaser Poster.

Flynn's Arcade: The Home of Tron

Tron Legacy Viral Campaign: Flynn's Arcade Token (Front)While all the geeks and gals of doom were filing into Hall H on Friday at the San Diego Comic-Con we were handed gold tokens bearing the Flynn’s Arcade logo on the front and a “Home of Tron” slogan on the back. You can see this very cool marketing keepsake (which I also made into my new custom Tron Legacy desktop picture) to the right of this paragraph. Sometime later during a Disney panel it was announced that if the bearer of this coin were to show up at J Street & 1st Avenue in downtown San Diego later in the day they could be used to gain access to special surprise.

Those who did show up on J Street, like Devindra Hardawar from /Film and Katey Rich from Cinema Blend, were outfitted with a black light and a map and were instructed to search the surrounding San Diego streets for “Flynn Lives” posters, which according to Devindra contained “hidden coordinates on the posters, which will lead to a certain location on the map.” The payoff for this elaborate scavenger hunt throughout the streets of San Diego was eventually making your way to the front door Flynn’s Arcade itself — which had been fully recreated at 335 6th Street. Clearly the marketing department at Disney was intent on creating a lot of buzz (and fun!) for Tron Legacy during Comic-Con. [Read Devindra’s account here; read Katey’s account here.]

SDCC 09: ‘Zombieland’ Has Fast Zombies And Woody Harrelson

Zombieland is the kind of undead flick that does all of the things you’d talk about doing to retaliate against a zombie horde if you were stuck inside the movie’s reality. You’d probably tell your friends or whoever was within earshot that you’d be running over zombies, cracking their skulls with an aluminum little league bat while sporting wired mesh that human teeth couldn’t penetrate. And you’d probably do this because that’s the proper defense mechanism for being terrified out of your frakin’ mind.

I don’t know that I’ll be scared out of my mind upon viewing this film. Yet, I trust that I’ll be immensely entertained solely based on the clips Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer presented during the Sony Pictures panel at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Check out the stellar Zombieland trailer and a 5-minute video of the Comic-Con panel, both listed below…

Fleischer was joined on the panel by the movie’s cast, which includes Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland), Emma Stone (Superbad) and Woody Harrelson, whose sheer personality arguably makes this film more interesting. Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) also stars in the film.

Without a doubt, the cool portion of the Iron Man 2 panel at San Diego Comic-Con was the sneak peek at exclusive footage of the film, which reveales Whiplash and War Machine in action for the first time.

But, since we can’t show that, the next best thing is hearing the cast and crew talk about their experiences. Especially pay attention to Robert Downey Jr, who steals the show every time he hits the stage (he did the same thing the day before at Warner Bros.’ Sherlock Holmes panel).

Check out the video coverage below.

For footage description and highlights from this panel, see our full coverage: SDCC 09: “˜Iron Man 2′ Footage Reveals War Machine & Whiplash In Action.

Geeks of Doom's Exclusive Coverage of SDCC 2009

Kevin Smith made his triumphant return to the San Diego Comic-Con this year with some news about his new buddy cop movie A Couple of Dicks staring Bruce Willis. Smith said that the film’s title may change between now and its tentative February 2010 release date.

However, it was Smith’s “Moist” commentary on Twilight that had the entire convention center buzzing. The crowd began booing after being asked who watched the trailer for the next film New Moon, [for New Moon details, check out our coverage SDCC 09: “˜The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Panel]

Geeks of Doom captured video coverage of Smith’s Q&A, which, in addition to the Twilight fans comments, includes plenty of other Smithian insights… Click over to watch the 7-part video.

From Smith regarding the Twilight fans at the Con…

“Stop…stop, that’s the next generation of fans… How dare you pass judgment on those 12-year-old girls who like vampires! They need to be encouraged because in six years they’ll be 18-year-old girls who like vampires and are into all sorts of goth-permissive and whatnot. Don’t Boo-poo it. There’s a plan, and it’s working.”
