There's on a panel on women's body image and the media in 32AB at 7 that discusses "the sexualization of women in film and TV, beauty myths and mainstream media's perpetuation of them, eating disorders, and an acceptance for women of all shapes and sizes in the entertainment industry, while inspiring others to get out there and live their best life." I don't have a problem with this, but the lack of any geeky tie-in at all points to how mainstream the Con is becoming.

Hall H and Ballroom have their nightly playback, sans footage, in 25ABC again at 8.
Spike and Mike's Twisted Gauntlet of Animation is at 9:30 in 6BCF.
This is a non-big-room day for me; your mileage may vary. Obviously Hall H is going to drive attendees into a frenzy and I can't even imagine when that line is going to begin. But there are lots of appetizing small panels as well. Still, I can't call it the monster day of the Con. We'll see what Saturday brings.
How can you say this is not a big room day with game of thrones and spiderman?
ReplyDeleteI get that it's definitely a big room day for other people. I meant that it's not a big room day for me. I'd love to see GOT, Archer, Walking Dead and others but I'm not willing to sacrifice the line time involved.
