Stargate LA 2010 - some pics of Joe

Joe's panel was a nice and long talk - and yes, someone commented - the lights were up the whole time - which was super nice. My pics are still a little on the yellow side, but that's just the super bad lighting. Joe would walk from side to side of the stage and lean then walk to the chair and lean on it, then walk around behind it... and on. So, I have lots of pics of him leaning.

BTW - Joe did not write anything funny on the banners (bummer) in response. I did get pictures of the other two though.

I know you are all waiting for these... so here's some of the many I took, formatted and uploaded :)



( I'm not teasing - here's some more.... )

Stargate LA 2010 - Chris & Andee

Christopher Heyerdahl and Andee Frizzell were on the stage at different times, so they each had plenty of time to chat. Both have extremely expressive faces and can do some totally funky faces. Mostly while moving - so all my pictures of those came out on the blurry side. You can see where producers pick them for the 'makeup' roles. If you have an expressive face, you can get past the make up. Otherwise that much makeup would just turn one into a model with little to no expression.

Christopher is all shaved because he JUST finished filming. Though he said he STILL had like 1 hour in makeup when playing Jack-the-ripper in Sanctuary and talked about how they spent all this time 'dabbing' like three different colors of makeup on his shaved head, as well as shaving it even closer.

I had a few of Andee with some pretty wild expressions, but I think I've already given her friend fodder with the bacon pic :)

If you're at a con and they are speaking do stay to listen to them. Both are extremely funny and amusing to listen to.

Stargate LA 2010 - (Whedon) - Sean & Eliza

I hopped over to the Whedon Con (Buffy/Angel/Dollhouse/Firefly) to see a few of the stars.

Like I mentioned earlier, I was very impressed by Eliza Dushku. She's extremely well spoken - and gives you 5 minute answers to almost all questions. She reminds me a lot of Joe in how she talks and is very thoughtful. It's probably from having educators as parents and traveling the world and seeing a lot of the worst humanity can do to one another.

She talked about how she got into acting - at 9 she wanted to go to a casting call, her mother was less impressed - and was busy. When her mom did not show up to take her, Eliza turned to her big brother and DEMANDED he take her to the audition. Luckily, it wasn't that far away, and she knew where it was. She went as she was - filthy, in torn clothes, because she was NINE and didn't know better, didn't have anyone to have her get ready, or even realized she had to change! She got there to find a room full of made up 'princess' in fancy poofy white/pink dresses, curled hair, bows, etc, etc. She was horrified and was about ready to turn and run, when her brother told her 'YOU wanted to come. YOU will stay and go through with it! It doesn't matter what anyone else does!' To make a long story short, she did, and she got the part. And that's probably a huge reason she gets the 'tough girl' rolls to this day.



Sean Maher (Simon/firefly) is very petty... but either a little shell shocked or a slow thinker. His response to every question was 'that's a good question. Uhm. I need to think about that....' and would fall silent for several moments and not really come up with much. Oh well, he's pretty!



I also caught a little of Morena Baccarin's talk. She told some horror stories of fans that made me cringe. I wanted to get up and apologize for all of the idiots at Comic Con. Someone asked her of her best and worst fan experience she had (a good question actually. I wish I had heard it earlier/that this person had asked it in the Stargate area). Her best is coming to cons and chatting with fans who give her respect in return. I had gotten an autograph by her earlier (on an Adira pic) and she chatted with everyone and wrote little comments on every picture. Her worst... basically she was given attitude - pretty unpleasant attitude when she was in a hurry and late and had told the fan, 'not right now, catch me later' and he KEPT IT UP till he basically bullied her into it. *facepalm* She's pretty amusing and busy right now with filming on V. I didn't take any pics. I was pretty far back because I came in so late.
