Jeffrey Rowland's OVERCOMPENSATING

We Got a Meeting



So apparently I'm going to be part of a "Snakes on a Plane" roundtable discussion (not an open panel, just a small gathering) with Samuel L. Jackson, David Ellis (director), and Jules Sylvester (the snake handler) on Friday morning at Comic-Con. I am aware that I'm basically a dirty shill for a giant movie company at this point, but I do think it's rad that New Line is having fun with all this. And as you all know, I like to do things that are fun, even if they are at 10:30 in the gorram morning.

Here is story in the Edmonton Journal about cybercomixz!

Dude, Jeff didn't become lame when a brown recluse spider injected toxic venom into his leg, I don't think it is going to be an issue now just because he might have to fight some snakes on a plane with Samuel L Jackson.

Don't worry about the mid-morning timing of the panel discussion. Just sneak a sample of the Poopmonster's private stash of caffeine-delivery products beforehand.

Shiny. Will the table actually be round?

Friday morning? Isn't it Friday night? In fact, it starting at 5:45 is causing problems for me. I was going to the snakes on a plane panel, but The Power Of The Dark Crystal starts at 6:00. I'm torn between hilarious Internet buildup of a movie, and seeing a peek to a squeal my *absolute* favorite childhood movie.

That's cool. What's to be discussed at this discussion? You should mention the internet at some point and how its bigger than all of us...put together

J.Ro - this, of course, is awesome. Here are the parameters: if you are a shill for a giant movie company, then so is Samuel L. Jackson, and I don't think he is considered a shill. Especially in a closed panel. I suspect the DVD release of SOAP will include a t-shirt coupon or iron-on, or maybe a poster. Or maybe they all just want your autograph. The handler also suggests photo ops so wear a cool shirt.

The question is - when will we have Wigu : The Movie starring J. Ro and Samuel L. Jackson as the voice of ghost Hugo.

(Reviewed by Todd Babiak of the Edmonton Journal - # of stars : 5.5 out of 5)

but seriously, filim it.

Would it possible to plant the seeds of war between comic booths if I supplied nerf guns ?

It is being recorded by New Line.

Walter, make it Oozinators and it's on.

Samuel L Jackson and Jeff Rowland in the same room with a snake handler? Is the world going to end at 10:30 Friday morning?

edmonton journal! no way. I used to read that when I was living in Canada.

good luck with the thing.

"Walter, make it Oozinators and it's on."

I've got about 9 nerf guns in my arsenal since I started about 13 days ago. One is like a tommy gun (motor powered, trigger advance, no cocking) two like shotguns (cocks while loading shells/darts, double barreled, and the shells eject out when you open it to reload) one like a revolver (6 round revolving magazine, spring action) one like a revolver but with 8 ( more natural cocking, though) and a pistol.

If someone can film the terrible oozination, I will so show up with one or two.

A friend and I were talking about something like this happening like a week and a half ago or something.

Kinda cool if you ask me. I wanna meet Samuel L. Jackson!

I hate to point this out (well... I don't really HATE to), but 10:30 in the morning San Diego time is actually 7:30 your time.

So it's only fair for New Line to provide bagels -- BAGELS FLOWN IN FROM NYC!

Have a great time!

Time actually goes the other way when you go from East to West. Sooo 10:30am would be like 1:30pm Eastern time

From this comment stream we have learned that Jeffrey will be on a panel with Samuel L. Jackson when the sun rises in the west.

It was incredibly exciting to open my newspaper on Saturday and see a huge Topato staring back at me.

Maybe in some NORMAL universe, but not in the Comic Galaxy.

In comics, everything's CRAZY!
