If you're a big fan of anything science fiction you know what comes around this time every year. That's right! San Diego Comic Con (also known as International Comic-Con) was recently upon us and the amount of exciting content released this year was incredible. But before I get into all the action that went down last weekend I'll give a brief explanation of what Comic-Con is for those who don't know.

San Diego Comic Con It's a massive event where super fans gather from all around the world to see new content from their favorite shows, movies, and books in a convention center for four days in July. People show up in all kinds of cosplay/costumes representing their favorite characters to meet actors that portray them in movies and shows, writers that bring them to life on paper, and other fans in the Syfy community.

There are a ton of panels around the convention center for TV shows and movies where the actors and directors talk about what to expect from their upcoming work and get the opportunity to interact with those in attendance. Another huge hit at Comic-Con is the cosplay contest where one lucky fan gets crowned the king or queen of cosplay.

Now that You're caught up on what this giant nerd convention is, I'll get down to all of the noteworthy content form this year

One of the most anticipated panels of this year was the Warners Brothers DC Extended Universe panels that took place in Hall H. If you know about Comic-Con you know about the magic that happens in that hall. These panels included presentations for their next three movies Aquaman, Shazam, and Wonder Woman 1984.

The Aquaman panel featured Jason Momoa who plays the titular character Arthur Curry AKA Aquaman along with his co-stars Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and director James Wan. The cast spent time talking about the movie and their experiences working together. They even rewarded the fans with the first official trailer for Aquaman which will be released in theaters December 21.

The Shazam! panel was easily my favorite from the whole convention but it's probably because he's my favorite superhero. With Shazam not being the most popular character in comics a lot of people don't know who he is. Luckily, like the cast of Aquaman, Zachary Levi brought along the first trailer for Shazam! and it does a great job of giving the rundown of who this mystical superhero is.

The panel featured Zachary Levi who plays Shazam, 2 other cast members and the director David Sandberg. Shazam! which hits theaters April 2019.

The last panel for a DCEU movie was for Wonder Woman 1984. Of course, the panel featured Wonder Woman herself Gal Gadot and she sat alongside Chris Pine and director Patty Jenkins. Unlike the rest of the DCEU movies, Wonder Woman takes place before all of the current events starting with Man of Steel; the movie that started the franchise.

The first Wonder Woman movie took place during WWI and the sequel will follow the same trend and take place in 1984. Unfortunately, the footage shown at Comic-Con was not released to the public yet and most likely won't be until 2019. You can see Wonder Woman 1984 in theaters November 2019.

Warner Brothers were on a roll this weekend so they kept the ball rolling. They made an announcement for another new movie called Joker which hasn't begun filming yet. Although they did reveal that Joaquin Phoenix will be starring as the clown prince of crime in this origin story for one of the most iconic villains of all time. Joker will arrive in theaters October 4, 2019.

Going into Comic-Con, if you were excited for all the new content from WB and the DCEU you definitely weren't disappointed with this year's panels at San Diego Comic Con. Hopefully by next year we'll have trailers for Wonder Woman and Joker and maybe even their lineup for more future movies. But for now, there are two amazing trailers out for public viewing to get you excited for what's next in the DC extended Universe.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
