Comic-Con has long existed to serve niche interests in entertainment and comics, but over the years, the “niche” has grown to include more and more topics of interest to general entertainment fans. Consequently, the comings and goings of Comic-Con fall into two camps: stuff movie fans might care about and stuff only nerds will care about.

Here at Screen Junkies, we hate nerds. We absolutely despise them. They are weak and have difficulty with women, which presents them from passing on their genes to future generations. Totally lame.

However, we do enjoy the former camp, the movie fans that click on our articles and patronize our advertisers, so this rundown of Comic-Con exists to serve them.

If you’re a nerd, stop reading. This isn’t for you.

Fans Camping Out for The Walking Dead, Twilight, and Game of Thrones Panels

While lots of panels can fill their venues, it was this triumverate that managed to garner enough interest to not only fill the vaunted “Hall H,” but get people to camp out overnight to guarantee access. Twilight is the biggest story here, not only because the cast and crew have made Comic-Con a regular stop for a half-dozen or so years, but also because a fan camped out in line was tragically hit by a car and killed after being camped out in line for days.

The 50 Shades of Grey Author Also Got Overnight Lines

One story that would best be left unreported would be the appearance of 50 Shades of Grey author E L James, who turned an entire generation of women on to the existence of butt plugs. James conducted a signing that also had fans camping out overnight. However, I didn’t include it in the above list of panels that fans camped out for because I find 50 Shades of Grey to be exceptionally dumb to the point that it deserves its own section.

Yes, I find it dumber than Twlight. Somehow.

The Hobbit Will Be Two Films, Not Three

We covered this earlier. See here for the whole story.

Oz: The Great and Powerful Trailer

It’s been a while since we got inundated with James Franco entertainment news stories every fourteen seconds. On behalf of entertainment journalists everywhere:

Welcome back, old friend.

The Big Bang Theory Will Send a Fan to Space

At the show’s Hall H panel on Friday, the show announced that it would be sending one “lucky” fan into space about the Lynx RLV rocket.

From the coverage, it seemed as though this parallels a plotline in the show, but I don’t watch The Big Bang Theory, so all I can do is guess. Or do about thirty seconds of research. Nah. I’ll guess.

The announcement allowed the Warner Bros. PR team to drop fun little pull quotes like, “I guess you can say we are over the moon that we were able to give away a trip to space to a Big Bang Theory fan.”

Cute, guys. Real cute.

The Newly-Announced Godzilla Remake Will Be “Realistic”

You know that insufferable friend that always picks out the logical inconsistencies in films that shouldn’t be presumed to have any logical consistency in the first place? Well, he or she will be delighted to know that there’s a Godzilla movie in the works from helmer Gareth Edwards.

I guess this realistic take on Godzilla will only be somewhat realistic, as it will still feature a giant mutant lizard destroying cities.

That’s pretty realistic, I guess.

Unfortunately for Peter Jackson, director of the upcoming The Hobbit saga, the higher frame rate of the film’s 3D version might not be an instant hit with audiences. At a screening of a 12-minute, regular frame rate, non-3D clip, Jackson said about audiences’ reception of the innovation, “Like anything, you’ve got to get used to it.” Oh, and of course, because theater owners aren’t the most forward-thinking lot, audiences will be paying extra to see something they’ve gotta “get used to.”

He didn’t specify if the higher frame rate is something you get used to in ten minutes, or maybe after a hundred years of inundation, so who knows if audiences will view The Hobbit as a starter film, which will jump on the proverbial grenade of the learning curve associated with new technologies.

The new frame rate will represent a “hyper-realistic” approach, not unlike the way that higher refresh rates on LCD TVs make everything look like a British soap opera or porn. You know what I’m talking about.

The director showed up with Martin Freeman, Ian McKellan, Andy “Ping Pong Ball” Serkis, and Richard Armitage.

Earlier today, the stars of Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim came out to present the world’s first taste of the film, which will also be the only footage released until the end of the year. Onhand were Ron Perlman, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, and the helmer himself to offer up a look at what we can expect.

Describing a clip will most likely not do the clip justice, so me paraphrasing someone else’s verbal description would be downright foolish. So, rather than tell you what happens, let me just give you a few out-of-context elements to whet your appetite.

• Tundra
• Metal Detector
• Robot Missing An Arm
• Child
• Other Synchronized Robots
• Jets
• “Summer 2013″

Slow motion in action movies gets a pretty bad rap, but here it works really well. If they truly invented a drug that made the world look like it was shot with the Phantom camera, I’d try it. Oh wait. Am I addicted already? They say the first hit’s free. When’s this movie come out?!? My skin itches and I want to ride the snake to Valhalla!

The Wizard of Oz prequel takes a look at the humble beginnings of the Wizard before he found his way to Oz and leveled up. We’re also given glimpses of Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, and Rachel Weisz as hot witches. No sexy Munchkins yet though. Gotta save something for opening day crowds.

F*ck the plan! This is Peter Jackson and tiny whimsical people! Give us a third you motherless monsters!!!

During the 266-day shoot, producers had accumulated enough extra footage to make a third fiml feasible, which is a concept so ridiculous that it could only exist in Hollywood.

“Oh, I was so cavalier with filming for your projects that cost hundreds of millions of dollars that there’s a bunch of extra stuff that you could probably turn into its own movie, but whatever. Totes up to you guys. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go alternate between “fat guy with an unkempt beard” and “skinny dude with a well-manicured beard” for the next year or so.”

Or so I assume it went.

Brian Robbins, the executive producer of Smallville, one of those shows that you think was cancelled five years ago but is probably still on the air, will serve as EP of this new project as well.

No network has gotten on board with Wonderland yet, but expect (hope?) that it finds its way onto cable, as the adaptation is a sexual and dark take on the source material, which is actually pretty dark to begin with, though not all that sexual.

Sexy Alice? That sounds like a character tailor-made for Comic-Con.

But never fear! You don’t even need a smartphone to have a good time thanks to Screen Junkies’ exclusive 2012 Comic-Con Bingo Card. Just put a mark on each space as you see these fantastic sights. That’s good for, like, hours of entertainment right there. Who needs comic books anyway?
