Success! Movieline Penetrates Comic-Con's Mythical, Fortress-like HALL 'H'

Greetings, Muggles, from overcast San Diego, for Movieline's Official Coverage of Comic-Con 2009! The trip down from L.A. was pleasantly traffic-free, and we're now quickly approaching Comic-DefCon1, as approximately 175,000 girl-cootie-infested Twilight zealots are piling into the the fortress-like Hall H, where Disney's 3-D presentation of Alice in Wonderland and Tron is followed by Summit's (*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!*) New Moon panel, and then the first North American footage of James Cameron's game-changing Avatar will save us all. Somehow -- don't ask me how or I'll have to kill you -- I've scored a seat in the front of the 6500-seat auditorium. My neighbor is Alison, mother of two (they're here, too), who's been waiting on line since 5 a.m. Wednesday, has a Twilight fansite, and describes herself as a "total freak."

Stay tuned! The fun has just only begun!

    "Somehow" = "I hope you'll all enjoy the dedicated New Moon blog that will be running daily on Movieline between now and its opening weekend."

    I really hope Sam Rockwell speaks at this New Moon panel!

    YES. 4 months of vamp-related snark is good for the soul.
