Supernova Pop Culture Expo Hits Sydney, Australia

The Supernova pop culture expo has returned to Sydney, Australia, and has warmly embraced the pop culture phenom which is taking place at Olympic Park, Homebush, in Sydney’s west.

It’s a 3 day pop culture mania bringing together fans, actors, game players, information and tons of merchandise and collectibles. Make no mistake – this is big business, but also lots of fun. It brings out the kid lurking inside all of us, no matter what our age.

Roadshow previews: here and here

It really is much better viewed on black using Fiveprime’s Black Magic

At a round table discussion with Canon’s Roger Machin today (more in-depth detail here); met the new Canon clan – 1D Mark IV and new lenses (that 100m macro is something else – fast zoom, light and crisp).

Then there’s the EOS 7D, which I have my pecuniarily-challenged eye on.

There is also a piece on how Canon is pushing the 7D megapixel boundaries here

Chuck vs The Footlong – SAVE CHUCK!

Chuck is one of the greatest shows on TV these days. Not a lot of people watch it, but its fanbase is a loyal one. The show is very heartfelt, hilarious, has great action, great soundtrack, fantastic plot, and it’s sexy without being smutty. I especially love their sly pop culture references (e.g. Reginald VelJohnson, who played Sgt. Al Powell in the original Die Hard, recurring his role as Al Powell on an episode with a Christmas hostage situation… or their constant naming bad guys after villains from classic movies). It’s been my family’s favorite show since it premiered in 2007. It’s a show that really just makes you feel good all over when you watch it. It never fails to please, and we would be devastated if it went off the air. But thanks to DVR’s (and a great chunk of Chuck viewers are technology nerds, so it’s to be expected), Nielson ratings are down, and the show IS in danger! So, Zachary Levi, star of the show, has started a campaign to save Chuck! Subway is Chuck’s biggest sponsor. They even sneak the Footlong jokes into the show whenever they can. So Zachary is asking everyone to go to Subway (biggest sponsor!!!) this Monday and order a Footlong. It’s a great, cheap, healthy lunch… so even if you’re not a fan… why not go get one? Do it for me! And while you’re there, drop a note in the suggestion box thanking Subway for sponsoring Chuck and asking them to help keep the show around! Also, if you can, please please please watch the Finale LIVE (NOT an hour later on DVR…. really, truly LIVE) this Monday night! And lastly, if you are a big fan, like me and my family, take the time to write some letters to the people in charge of it all.Now that you’ve read my summary of the situation, here are the details from www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vemFjaGFyeS1sZXZpLmNvbS8yMDA5…:
