Things We Saw Today: Geek Dudes Have X-Men Wedding at Dragon*Con

by Susana Polo | 4:58 pm, September 7th, 2012

I saw this giant picture of Marvel cosplayers sans happily wedded couple earlier this week, and so thought they were just gathering for the heck of it. But no! They got together to help two dudes tie the knot just like Northstar and his boyfriend Kyle. Fans do cool stuff. (Death and Taxes)

Jeffrey Wright has signed to play Beetee in Catching Fire. (The Daily Blam!)
We all know that when Indiana Jones shot that swordsman, it was because Harrison Ford was too tired on the day of filming to actually do the fight, and improvised the moment of comedy on the spot. But would you like to see what the scene would have looked like otherwise? (Entertainment Weekly)

They’ve put candy corn in Oreos. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore. (The Frisky)

Wendy Pini is making more Elfquest, and it’ll debut on Boing Boing for all to see.

Cosplay, I love ya, but you’re strange. (Diary of a Death Starlette)

Here’s a “fun” new stock images trope: Sad Babies of Working Mothers. (Sociological Images)

This customizable portal gun toy is available for pre-order. (Super Punch)

O.O I don’t think I can live here either any more. I can’t live in the same vicinity as such a horrible creation as candy corn oreos. I wonder if I can get internet on the moon…

No words can express the kind of joy I felt over that geek wedding. Oh. my. god.

I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS! And I was there! Dressed as Enchantress, but she could have been there in spirit. So bummed I missed this, but it may have been by explicit invitation only. As someone else commented, Marvel Tov!

That X-Men wedding wins everything. And Jeffery Wright as Beetee is awesome. And a customizable Portal gun? I’m running out of feel-good points!

And hey, don’t insult Companion Cube + Cake slash! They are my OTP

For what it’s worth, the candy corn Hershey’s Kisses are pretty good. I think there’s hope for the Oreos.

Putting candy corn in Oreos is exactly why I *want* to live on this planet! :D
