SAN DIEGO ? As is his wont, Johnny Depp sent a throng of teenage girls wild here at Comic-Con International ? just by showing up.

Depp didn?t say much during his brief and unexpected appearance Thursday at the Alice in Wonderland panel in the pop-culture convention?s giant Hall H. He just came onto the stage, said hello to Alice director Tim Burton, drove the crowds nuts and left.

But the cameo was more than enough to send the teeming crowd of prepubescent (and probably post-pubescent as well) girls wild. There were screams and enough mayhem to send security guards scrambling to make sure no one tried to jump onstage and rip off Depp?s clothes (where did I get that idea ??).

It was a target-rich environment: There were loads of girls there because many had waited hours ? some even days ? to make sure they didn?t miss the panel for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which followed Comic-Con?s first-ever 3-D panel, the Disney event that included Alice in Wonderland. Take that, Robert Pattinson!

The script for the Alice event was to premiere the trailer, which would have been cool enough. Actually the trailer, which leaked online Wednesday before being pulled by Disney, was shown several times Thursday at the insistence of actor/comedian Patton Oswalt, who interviewed Burton about the film, which is set to go be released next year.

The trailer itself is about a minute and a half long ? but what a stunner! Vibrant colors, beautiful costumes, fantastic scenery, amazing makeup, all in glorious 3-D. The Cheshire Cat?s smile pops out of the screen, the Mad Hatter dances down the table toward you and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are whisked right past you by an exotic bird. It?s a fantastical vision, a very Burton-esqe vision. The 3-D adds to the surreal experience, and feels quite seamless. In such strange scenery, the 3-D makes everything even more askew. Of course Alice should fall down the hole in 3-D, and the potion she?s drinking, just before shrinking, makes the madness all the more believable.

Our next item is up right now only as a teaser on Sideshow, but Dread has your hook-up! Medicom and Hot Toys seem in constant struggle for domination of the 12-inch format, and this month I think Medicom rules! From the new Tim Burton film Alice In Wonderland, check out Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, the Real Action Hero collectible figure.

I really like Tim Burton's style of movies, I liked Willy Wonka (closer to the style of the original book)

I'll be seeing this one as well.

Agreed. I'm the only one out of my group of friends that prefers the new Willy Wonka as opposed to the older one.

Tim Burton seems like a strange guy, but he makes awesome movies :laugh:

Pop-rock princess Avril Lavigne will drop her long-awaited new single this March ?Alice Underground?, which will be lifted from the soundtrack to the new Tim Burton Alice In Wonderland remake.

It has yet to be confirmed if the song will also double as the first official single from Lavgine?s fourth album, or if it will simply be a soundtrack song similar to her hit ?Keep Holdin? On? from the film Eragon.

Avril?s new album will be the follow up to 2007?s six-million selling The Best Damn Thing, and will reportedly lose the over-produced pop sheen of ?Girlfriend? in favor of a more acoustic sound similar to her first two albums.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
