If you couldn’t tell from the Twilight photos last week, Comic-Con is happening. You can smell the geeks and nerds from here, can’t you? Well, I have to say… this year’s Comic-Con seems kind of uneventful. People are showing up to support their shows and movies, of course, but there’s not a lot of news or excitement about any particular project or any particular trailer or anything. Maybe I’m wrong, but everything just seems kind of meh. So here are about a dozen “highlight” photos from Comic-Con over the past three days. I’m starting with Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale promoting Total Recall – why isn’t Colin Farrell there? Because he’s already making appearances to promote the film overseas? Is it just me, or is the publicity for Total Recall really weird and low-key? It’s like the studio barely wants anyone to know the film is coming out. Anyway, Kate looks really skinny and Jessica looks like she’s trying too hard to become nerd-bait.
Joseph Gordon Levitt and Emily Blunt promoting Looper. I swear, Emily has been tweaked.
Lea Michele promoting Glee. Why is Glee at Comic-Con?!
Mark Hamill has gained some weight. It happens.
Christoph Waltz was there to promote Django Unchained, which was probably the biggest highlight of Comic-Con thus far. Jamie Foxx was there too. Both men have questionable facial hair, although I kind of dig Jamie’s.
Kerry Washington, also for Django Unchained. I don’t like her outfit.
I’m sorry, Ian Somerhalder fans, but I don’t “get” why this guy is sexy. As best, he looks like a cheeseball. At worst, he looks predatory and gross.
I cannot even describe how much I loathe Ginnifer Goodwin’s hair. Jennifer Morrison looks okay here, but meh overall.
Robert Downey Jr.!!!! So hot.
Jonny Lee Miller promoting CBS’s Elementary, which is the American version of the BBC’s Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Elementary will feature Sherlock being a crime-solver in NYC with Lucy Liu as “Watson”. You know I love JLM, but I hope this sh-t bombs.

Actually, Ian Somerhalder is one of those who don’t photograph that well. He literally radiates hotness on the Vampires Diaries.
Sommerhalder doesn’t do anything for me personally, he’s just too pretty. I definitely prefer JLM or Christoph Waltz. However, he seems to go out of his way to be kind and sweet to all the Vampire Diaries fangirls. So although he looks it I’m not convinced he’s another Alex Pettyfer pretty-boy douche.
If he radiates anything it’s smarminess. I want to slap that permanent smirk off his face.
He looks like Rob Lowe lite and I get the same smarminess and general ick feeling from both of them.
He always has that smirk, it’s gross and I agree with Kaiser (how come you guys post on Sunday and not Saturday just curious) he seems so cheesy and kinda creepy. Not attractive at all!
He looks like this generation’s Rob Lowe.
+1. I was thinking the same thing.
And I pretty much agree with all of Kaiser’s assessments of the pics as well.
I agree with Sandy – in photos he doesn’t do much for me, but as that character on the show…he’s intriguingly hot. But off the show, not to me.
Colin Farrell was at Comic Con this year.
Colin Farrell was at Comic Con this year. Though I don’t know why he wasn’t photographed as much.
Everybody looks bad..
I agree. No one is at their best here!
What is with Jessica Biel’s Karen Carpenter hair???
Agreed, Biel needs a makeover!
Kate Beckinsale: I agree, she looks scary skinny.
Jessica Biel: is that a wig on her head? I don’t recall her hair being this long. If it is, it’s a very fug wig. Also, I don’t get her dress. What’s with all the different layers?
Chris Waltz: channeling Robin Williams, are we?
RDJ: channeling Johnny Depp, are we?
Ian Somerhalder: no idea who he is, but I swear, I have that very same shirt. It looks cute with jeans. On me, that is.
Did JLM get hairplugs?
Lol 🙂
I completely agree with Kaiser. As much as I love him, I hope this ‘elementary’ BS fails. CBS is now on my imaginary hitlist for ripping off Sherlock.
And Watson CANNOT BE A WOMAN!! Moving it to NY is destroying the canon as it is but I just….gah. Conan-Doyle fangirl right here. See, this is why Sherlock has done so well, it was created and nurtured by two huge fans of the books (the Grand High Moff and Gatiss) who kept all the little nods in.
Rant over, happy Sunday, all.
A whole lot of meh and fug going on.
Will someone please tell Giniffer Goodwin that her ears stick out and unless you are a complete waif, that hair is WRONG.
I can’t stand Kerry Washington. She sees herself as some kind of fashion icon. All I see is plastic surgery try hard. Ugh.
Ian Somerhalder seems like a decent guy. I used to follow him on Twitter. He’s very enlightened. LOL
Yeah, Kerry is pretty but a bit of a try hard. Plus I have heard not so nice things about her behind the scenes. Apparently she has an attitude.
I never thought I would say this but Lea’s outfit is kind of cute, minus the shoes.
Where is the Mother of Dragons and the rest of the GoT cast?
Filming new episodes, I hope.
There’s a Comic Con photo of her over at Jezebel, along with a link about the new cast of characters.
Lucy Liu as Watson? That just sounds all kinds of wrong. Why mess with something like that? Sheesh.
Monie, I totally agree. I love JLM just as much as the next gal, and so would like to see more of him. But Lucy Liu’s addition as Watson just seems try-hard to me.
Lucy Liu as Watson, what the hell is that? I love JLM but there’s something I find incredibly irritating about the idea of an American remake of Sherlock. And I’m an American.
Lucy Liu seems more Sherlock than Watson to me.
She will have to reign in her natural intensity if she doesn’t want to completely overshadow Holmes.
From the neck up, Jessica Biel’s styling is very Paz de la Huerta: Unkempt wavy hair, makeup (especially eye makeup) way underdone. Was JT was responsible for this?
Why does Ginnifer always have to give That Face on the red carpet. It must hurt her neck.
Jennifer Morrison’s shoes are kinda cute.
That’s a terrible photo of Emily Blunt. She looks like Miley Cyrus + 15 years.
I find Ian Somerhalder to be very icky. Usually blue eyes and dark hair on a man is gorgeous, but on him it just looks creepy. At least he isn’t wearing that fedora in this photo.
The only dark hair, blue eyes, semi creepy looking guy that does it for me is Cillian Murphy & this douche is no Cillian Murphy.
Agree!
Yes, ma’am!
Well the dark hair is for his role on the show.
Ian needs to stop with the hats. He is calling attention to his hair issues.
Kate Beckinsale looks like a bobblehead doll in these photos. It is NOT a good look for her.
Ian is gorgeous, Robt. Jr“never!
Yes he is!
I would SOOOO hurt RDJ! YUM!
Mark Hamill looks like a walking dead cast member and I don’t mean the LIVING ones!
Hahaha, awww…
Speaking of The Walking Dead, can we get some cast photos? Specifically Norman Reedus. Something about him tickles my fancy 😉
@ MorticiansDoItDeader – Season 3 trailer is out. Don’t know if you’ve seen it. It looks good and I’m excited.
http://www.toofab.com/2012/07/13/comic-con-day-2-the-walking-dead-trailer/
@Mira, I have thanks! It looks fantastic and Merle’s “hand” looks awesome.
@MorticiansDoItDeader – Yes, Merle’s hand looks awesome! I thought I saw Daryl’s zombie in the trailer. They better not do anything to Daryl. Also, Lori seems to have improved. She tells Rick that she does not think of him as a killer. Guess the negative reaction to Lori’s character in the season finale forced the writers to make some changes. I still hate her though!
Mark Hamill looks like hell. Who is Ginnifer Goodwin? And you’re right about RDJ, but I don’t like the big glasses.
Goodwin was on Big Love on HBO for several years and now is on the show Once Upon a Time. I feel like she’s been in a number of terrible rom-com movies, but can’t think of any names. I normally think her pixie hair is adorable but here it’s not looking too great.
The only movie I can think of her in is He’s Just Not That Into You which was horrible in my opinion.
Jennifer Morrison looks like she’s auditioning for a role as the St. Pauli girl.
Ginnifer Goodwin kind of has a Sam Ronson expression in that shot. Hair is very fug, and that scalloped dress is beyond fug. I hate all scallops except the seafood.
Jessica Biel is just pathetic. I mostly dislike her, but sometimes I feel sorry for her. This is not one of those times.
Ha, you summed up exactly the way I feel about Jessica Biel perfectly! Sometimes she’s pathetic, sometimes I just hate her — but that’s the entire spectrum right there. And I hate her hair so much that it makes me hate her even more now. If she can’t look in the mirror and see that those bangs are horrible for her face and features then she’s even stupider than I thought.
I just do not get the appeal of Jessica Biel…DON’T GET IT! Ginnfer Goodwin does not have the face to pull off the extreme haircut…you have to be truly gorgeous to rock that…like Halle Berry (can’t stand Halle, but she is gorgeous)…everyone looks bad…but whenever I see JLM, I admit to getting a tingle…
JGL’s Batman skinny tie is cute!
Mark Hamill looks like Meatloaf in “Fight Club” (minus the boobs).
Mark Hamill has gained some weight. It happens.
————————————-
Yes it does, especially when Mark has a hard time putting the fork down. Women celebs gain weight they are chastised. Men celeb gain weight and “it happens”
Glee has been at comic-con since season 1. How this is suddenly news surprises me.
I agree on all points about Comic con this year…WHY is Glee there??? I want to go at some point just to let my True Blood geek out! Kate looks awful…too skinny, same busted hair and leather leggings??? Really?! Jessica’s dress is fug but I like her shoes. Emily looks pretty and fresh to me but what do I know? LOL! Jamie Foxx and RDJ are hot! Mark is looking his age
Without the caption I would never have recognised Emily Blunt.
The reason why Glee is at comic con due to Archie comics. Archie and Glee will be doing a crossover in comic form.
I do hope this answer helps. 🙂
Except they were also there in season 1 and 2 as well.
How do you spray tan parts of your body and then have fair parts hear and there? Glee person. I have never seen that show.
Fair question. And, I will never see that show (Glee).
“Jonny Lee Miller promoting CBS’s Elementary, which is the American version of the BBC’s Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Elementary will feature Sherlock being a crime-solver in NYC with Lucy Liu as “Watson”. You know I love JLM, but I hope this sh-t bombs.”
My 9-year-old stepdaughter turned me on the Sherlock! It is great and we are having a fun time watching the episodes together. The only downside is that now she is under the impression that London is a really cool city. She wants to go visit.
The producers of Elementary will have a difficult time competing with Sherlock, which is fantastic and available via streaming in the United States. I think your hopes may come true. 🙂
I am going to point out the things I love.
I love the skirt and belt that Kerry is wearing. I do not understand the leather shirt or the black pumps with that skirt. At all.
I love the pink shoes on Biel. Love the orange shoes on Emily. I like Emily’s dress too. Just not with those shoes. Odd I know.
I actually love Ginnfer with the short hair. She seems to have very fine hair. And fine hair does not look good long.
I love her red dress and shoes! Simply cause I am a fan of vintage style dresses.
I even like the dress Jennifer M. is wearing. It has a odd cut to it. Yet, it hangs well and fits her properly.
I am SO tired of women dressing like hookers.
With their tits and ass crack hanging out of everything they wear. It looks trashy. You don’t look hot or sexy. You just look trashy.
So I am ready to start seeing flattering clothes to re-enter the stores. Even if they have scalloped edges.
But I am puzzled by all the leather/pleather worn here by the females. It is July. And hot as hell. I bet we can look forward to strappy Summer dress in December.
Ian is so Hot as Hell, he just doesnt photograph well.. I dont get RDJ’s appeal though and I usually like Jessica but she looks weird in those photos. I want Kate’s pants
Mila Kunis and michelle williams were there for the great and powerful oz as well. Well pretty much everyone and everything was there, but they just stick out in my mind because they gave a super boring interview about Oz. And if any of you were wondering, MW is just as cloying and precious as ever.
Did you see the trailer for the movie? Lol truly G-d awful! I wasn’t planning on seeing it anyway because I loathe James ‘I’m an artist’ Franco and am starting to really be turned off by Mila’s douche by association with Ashton but man oh man that trail was terrible.
I think it’s the actors who make the trailer awful..or more specifically, Mila and James.
Their SoCal accents ruin the atmosphere and you think you’re in a car park in L.A. instead of the magical land called Oz.
I really hate Jessica Beil styles herself ( or gets styled should I say) her hair- her clothes- its all just wrong!!!
Jessica Biel looks great from the neck down.
Kate B has lollipop head syndrome going on.
I Hate Ian’s half smile/smirk thing he always does.
That’s what makes him look cheesy imo, if he’d just relax his face and act normal and not so try-hard, he’d be ok looking…He’s no Cillian Murphy though.
Kate Beckinsale’s head is too big for her body and all that hair is not helping matters. Actually, there’s lots of hair going on period (except for Ginnifer Goodwin – and not in a good way).
Emily Blunt has a very cute outfit on (including shoes).
For the most part, everyone’s a mess. Blech, they can do better.
Put some Alison Brie photos. She’s the biggest star in the world (at leat in my head).
I love you Kerry. I’m having Scandal withdrawal.
JGL looks hot
I think Jessica looks good here. I really love her nail polish and shoes.
I really dislike how Jessica Beil styles herself ( or gets styled should I say) her hair- her clothes- its all just wrong!!!
ok Kaiser… i get the initial hatred for elementary – but i went to the panel on thursday and it was actually pretty good. like i wasn’t even there for it, but had to sit through the pilot until Dexter (end of the day)… and i was very surprised at how engaging it was. a lot of people at the con were pissed that watson was a female and also that she delivered (in this epi) the pivotal clue, but lucy liu is a great actress and i think they play well off each other.
if we want to talk about shows that we hope die soon… let’s talk about CW’s beauty & the beast. it was so bad it was laughable. honestly i’ve never seen such a BAD tv show pilot ever. terra nova was better than this. kristen kruek just needs to go away.
The entire WB panel was amazing! Pacific Rim footage was gorgeous. They introduced a huge wrap around screen in Hall H. Twelve minutes of Hobbit footage. Martin Freeman? Richard Armitage? Sigh.
Oh, and RDJ danced down the aisles for the Marvel panel where they announced FOUR more marvel movies in the works!
Agreed about RDJ!
I just watched the original Star Wars trilogy last week. It’s amazing to see Mark Hamill now after watching him when he was just a young buck.
Forget them! The Archer cast is there!
I want Henry Cavill pictures….Super hunky Superman Please!!!
What the hell is going on with Emily Blunts face O__o? I hope it’s the weight loss or bad lighting and not tweaking, she was so pretty!
Kate – too skinny. Jessica – is that a hair piece on the back of her head or some sort of effed up tiara???
JGL – love him, hate those pants, Emily – why do I feel like she’s not as old as I think she is?
Kerry – I like the skirt, hate the shirt, it ruins the outfit. Ian – is he wearing a ladies blouse???
Everyone else – meh, they’re alright.
Jessica looks cute. I love her latex skirt! Naughty and sooo cute! and her body looks really good! Oh shush about Ian.
That man is HOT! His eyes are AMAZING and he has a beautiful smile! And no, doesn’t look like a predator to me. That could be good though since he plays a vampire. He can hunt me down ANYTIME!
And his love scenes are just so good! Ok, calming down now.
OMG Mark Hamil used to be so cute. Now he looks like meatloaf 🙁
I won’t say anything about Jabba the Hutt. At least he can say he WAS Luke Skywalker. Bonus points for the rest of his life there.
Did anyone else see this? http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2012/07/scientology-at-comic-con.html
LOL…. they are getting desperate now…
I love short hair on women (Michelle Williams) but Ginniger Goodwin’s face is too round for a pixie this short. Its AWFUL on her. It does not suit her. She needs some more hair to balance out the shape of her face.
RDJ blows them all away. All the rest are amateurs. ‘Nuf said.
+1
RDJ dancing to Luther Vandross was the best thing about Comic-Con. He is so F/SEXY!!!
Jessica…PLEASE LOSE THE BANGS. They don’t do her any favors. I love bangs, actually, but only if they fit your face and features; otherwise, NO. She needs to go back to the lighter hair and fuller, face-enhancing hairstyles that she used to have because she’s actually a pretty woman, but the bangs ruin her look.
Emily Blunt is so unfortunate-looking these days! Nothing like I remember from Devil wears Prada.
