Today’s running notes on San Diego’s Comic Con@Home…Friday July 24, 2020. It’s online and free this year due to the pandemic, so the world gets to enjoy unlimited panels with no lines.
10am PST — Charlize Theron: Evolution of a Badass – An Action Hero Career Retrospective
A really worthwhile serious one on one hour interview about working as an action hero in the industry. Very good panel, very worth watching.
The World’s Most Indispensable Movie App
The RunPee app tells you the best times to
run & pee during a movie
so you don't miss the best scenes.
Download the RunPee app.
100% free (donation supported)
11am PST — Nothing I’m interesting in seeing….So I am viewing another from 10: The Mandalorian and His Many Gadgets
If you are a Star Wars: Mandalorian fan this is worth seeing. Good stuff.
Noon PST — Star Wars Authors
Timothy Zhan is the only author here I’ve heard of. His SW EU books were really good, if memory serves. This wasn’t very exciting.
1pm PST — Hollywood Location Scouts
This is the first one of the day I’m looking forward to. Neat so far: Location cuts shown from Spectre, Blade Runner 2049, 1917, World War Z, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ready Player One, Star Trek: Picard, The Last Ship, 911: Lone Star, Constantine, Game Night, Atlanta, Shadow Hunters, October Faction, American Gods, Fast Five, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame.
Nice talk. I want their jobs.
2pm PST — The Psychology of Star Trek vs Star Wars
Team Trek vs Team Wars! The mental places old Luke and Picard feel, vs Rey and Micheal Burnam.
This one is really worth watching. Live long and prosper, and may the Force be with you!
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

3pm PST — Nothing Interesting…
It’s okay. I can catch up on things that I missed earlier. This is what’s nice about the online version this year — I can catch all kinds of things that are boring now.
4pm PST — Remote Real-Time: The Age of Virtual Production
Not bad, but I was distracted the whole time.
5pm PST — Deep Blue Sea 3: The Panel!
You like shark movies? Here we go with clips and bonus features. Mildly enjoyable.
6pm PST –TV Guide Magazine Fan Favorites
I just fast forwarded through parts of this to see Jeri Ryan (7 of 9) for part of it on Star Trek: Picard. I just don’t know the others, except the transgender one Glee actor. I couldn’t sit and watch most of this, because I’m not up on the other actor shows. I had to move on to the Klingon theatrical show…
6pm PST — Klingon Lifestyles : The Alone Alone Year
Amusing as usual. But not great.
7pm PST — 32nd Annual Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards
This is normally a really big party. It’s all all home alone now. I wasn’t very impressed with this year’s at home version — I had no idea who any of the nominees where besides the Calvin & Hobbs author (Bill Watterson).
Saturday looks like there will be some great panels! See you on the biggest day of each Comic Con with no lines for Hall H!
Don’t miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Androidor iPhone) when you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all wide release films every week, including Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and coming soon Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4 and many others. We have literally thousands of Peetimes—from classic movies through today’s blockbusters. You can also keep up with movie news and reviews on our blog, or by following us on Twitter @RunPee. If there’s a new film out there, we’ve got your bladder covered.
