As a young comic fan growing up in New York State’s Finger Lakes Region, the tall tales and whispered rumors about the fabled NYC comic conventions were fascinating. They were a siren call. But the big city was so far away that I didn’t imagine, at that time, I’d ever make the trip to the Big Apple for a comic convention. Of course, my eight-year-old self would have been awestruck when years later, as a marketing professional, I’d work in NYC and would even help Reed Elsevier build the New York Comic Con.
Biking to Fay’s Supermarket one day, I noticed a flyer on the community bulletin board for something called the “Ithaca Comic Con.” Unlike New York City, this was only about 45 minutes away from my hometown. I urged my parents to make the trip. Maybe it was more nagging than urging, but it...

Police are following up on a possible sighting of a 38-year-old missing Oregon woman, Jennifer Huston, boarding a car ferry in Washington - 300 miles from where she was last seen on July 24, pumping gas at a Circle K and buying snacks and over-the-counter sleeping pills from Rite-Aid in Newberg, Oregon. A couple told police they spotted a woman fitting her description - a blonde female in her 30s in a car that matched the make and model of Huston's green Lexus, even down to the cracked window - on board a ferry from Anacortes, Washington, to the San Juan Islands.

If our navigator is correct, we're clearing the fog and sailing on a direct course for the much-anticipated May 20 launch of Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."
Before we rejoin Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush (along with newcomers Penélope Cruz and Ian McShane) in their ever-vigilant quest for treasure, treasure, and more treasure (also: The Fountain of Youth), we thought it best to give our fellow shipmates a little primer in the previous trilogy of pirate epics. Savvy?
'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl'
This is it, mateys, the one that started it all. Those who remember that early teaser trailer they showed before the second "Lord of the Rings," where all the ladies cheered at Orlando Bloom's very name, will recall that it was originally titled, simply, "Pirates of the Caribbean." After Disney got wind that they may have a monster hit on their hands,...

Stellan Skarsgard is the latest addition to the cast of the upcoming “Thor” movie, joining a stellar cast that includes Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Jaimie Alexander and Colm Feore.
According to Swedish news site Ystads Allehanda, Skarsgard—who is perhaps best known in America for his turn as Bootstrap Bill Turner in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” film series—confirmed the information in an interview with The Newspapers' Telegram Bureau. However, Skarsgård did not reveal which character he would be playing.
ComingSoon.net has posted a rough translation of Skarsgard’s remarks.
"They wanted me to sign without reading the script,” Skarsgård explained. “That I refused to do. Then they sent one to me that was so coded that I could only print one copy."
With most of the roles in director Kenneth Branagh’s “Thor” adaptation already filled by it’s not immediately clear which role Skarsgard will step into.
