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.

    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
