What You Probably Won?t See at Comic-Con 2009b>

Now that the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday schedules have been announced for th2009 San Diego Comic-Con Internationalb>, lets take a look at some of the films that won?t be making an appearance at the conventioUniversal will not be flying out the cast and crewEdgar Wright?s Scott Pilgrim vs. The Worldld, which makes almost no sense since they'll probably be on a weekend break in Canada. (Update: I have been informed that the movie is shooting 6-day weeks, and coming to Comic-Con would mean a 2-day break from filming). Comic-Con would be the perfect place to get the buzz started on the big screen adaptation of this awesome indie comic book. Universal will also not be showing or presenting anythingRidley Scott?s Robin HoodHooDisneysney is spending too much time on the 3D and animated films that they?ve completely forgotten to bring the live actPrince of Persia: Sands of Timef The Sorcerer?s ApprenticeprentiSurrogatesrrogates (which was based on a comic book) to the cThe Weinstein Costein Co isn?Quentin Tarantino?s Inglourious Basterds us Basterds (Comic-Con seems like a better venue than UFC), nor areob Zombie?s Halloween II< Halloween II (which had a presence the first time around), the post apocalyptic dramatic thriller The Road, the big screen adaptation of Youth in Revolt (which stars Michael Cera and would be a perfect fit for the Con),ionsgate<

Warner Bros' big screen adaptation ofhiteout<vel Whiteout is mysteriously missing in action despite making an appearance ainja Assassin<Ninja Assassin isn?t listed on the panel line-up but might have a secret screening. Zack Snyder?s aniuardians of Ga?Hoole<ardians of Ga?Hoole al0th Century Fox<ule.

20th Century ennifer?s Body<r film Jennifer?s Body anantastic Mr. Fox<ted film Fantastic MGM< are oddly missing.

MGM doesn?t have a panel for the Joss Whe Cabin in the Woods<edy The Cabin in the Woods, although I heard there might be a special sneak preview at a press-only event (MGM denies this). The comot Tub Time Machine< comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, which also seems like perfect fit for the conreamWorks Animation<-up.

DreamWorks Animation is again completely skipping the convention, despite it being the first year that presentatow to Train Your Dragon<. How to Train Your Dragon doesn?t have a paneobermind<0 superhero comedy Oobermind has no presence in Hall H (I?m sure they?ylvester Stallone?s The Expendables<ylvester Stallone?s The Expendables has no scheduled appearance.

Of course, the below list is subject to change. Panels and projects could be added, or surprise appearances might be made (for instance, Warner Bros has a panel where they could surprise with Ninja Assassin). Also, some of these films might very well have a show floor presence, advertising presence (District 9 was all over last year?s Con), or viral marketing launch at the Con. But judging from the officially announced schedule, this is the list of movies that won?t have a panel presence at the Con.

I'm really shocked at some of the missing films. Especially Inglourious Basterds, Saw VI, Halloween II, Jennifer?s Body, Whiteout, etc.

I scored a complimentary day pass from my cousin who's volunteering all 4 days there. It's good for Thursday, Friday, or Sunday. Which day should I sign up for?

I'm not into manga nor Twilight. I like American comics, but not so much an avid subscriber. Movies are cool.

This may help you a bit they have some of the stuff by day :)

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
