(born December 28, 1922), better known by the name Stan Lee is an American comic book writer, editor, actor, producer, publisher, television personality, and the former president and chairman of marvel comics.
Stan Lee was at Oz Comic con this weekend in Melbourne Australia. The room was at full capacity with everyone wanting to get a glimpse of Stan Lee and what he had to say .

He spoke about how he created the idea of Spiderman and was told Spiderman will never work ,no one likes spiders , nor hear about a week teenage boy as a hero. Yet after the first week of record sales ,he knew there was going to be allot more to be told about the Adventures of Spiderman.

He was asked many questions by fans one as young as 5 ,who asked” Who is your favourite character” ? To that he replied "All of them I created them so they are all my favourite ", with a big smile and chuckle .”

Stan Lee had a bit of a stumble and fall as he left the stage and like the true hero he is to his fans , got straight back up and appeared to be unhurt going on to sign 100′s of Autographs.

Oz Comic Con Melbourne 2012

Oz comic cons doors opened at 9am and with it a surge of fans were eagerly entering after waiting in a long line that snaked its way around the Melbourne Exhibition venue all the way down to the Pollywoodside. Once inside people would line up to purchase their tokens that would enable them to get a photo or autograph with Stan lee or one of the many other stars that were at Oz comic con this weekend. Such was the demand for a photo with Stan lee and Patrick Stewart that they sold out by 9.30am and even those with VIP passes missed out on photo opps .

One lady with her young family in hand that we interviewed had spent 22 hours on the train non stop to meet her Idol Stan lee. She purchased a VIP ticket worth $150 and was heartbroken to of missed out on getting the photo opp with Stan lee . A VIP ticket holder enables the user to be able to stand in a smaller line than gen ticket holders , Platinum holders the one above VIP who have spent $600 for the privilege get to be in front of the VIP holders.

It was reported that doors Saturday were shut by 10am and 11am Sunday due to the venue reaching full capacity and being unsafe for further customers to enter. Leaving customers with pre purchased tickets unable to enter.

Stan lee was a hit with adoring fans and received a standing ovation after his question time .Stan lee fell over when leaving the stage after his talk ,but still went on to sign Autographs for 3hours non stop for fans.

It was a Delight at Oz comic con to see everyone’s costumes ,that they had spent lots of money and time putting together .Thank you to everyone in costume for your time and efforts that made it such a colourful and visual experience.

Lady Gaga Concert Melbourne 28th

Lady Gaga Concert 28th June 2012

Thursady was not as hard as wed night gig to get a ticket into the Monster pit if you got there by at least mid afternoon. We arrived midday and there was around 200 people there . It then took till around 4.30 before they got to the 450 number allowed in the pit . People were  in rows of 90. When it came time to enter the venue they were allowed in each row at a time into one long line that would go then into the monster pit . In this moment some people did end up further back the line. The pit was brilliant and not overcrowded at all . Lady Gaga was amazing onstage and no mishaps at all. Lady Gaga picked a group of  happy people dancing with much enthusiasm from the crowd to see her backstage .Some of the people had been following her Australian tour and had seen her already many times, but they helped other monsters get to see her so it would of been a great moment for all .

Prometheus in 3d was brilliant. The film started from the beginning and when you see the movie you will know what I mean by the beginning , without trying to give too much away about plot line.

Crashing waterfalls and sweeping camera angles over a raging river as we are taken up stream and to the top of a waterfall .Be prepared for what you will see at the top.

Going to the scene in the cave we see them discover the drawings that will take them to stars. Prometheus takes them to see the wonders of the universe  to find this place . They travel for 2 years in those pod things of course and are finally awoken when at their destination.

There were many moments that reminded me of Aliens and other sci fi movies .You may or may not agree when you see the movie but films such as were Star trek, Fifth element (costume design) and Avatar. There are some moments that are almost replicated in this prequel from Aliens. We see how the Aliens were created and why they were created .The movie was very fast paced and if you are quick you will pick up very quickly who is on board that ship and why .

This movie has plenty of action and some great gory Alien scenes that will satisfy most . It certainly had me peering through my fingers . Of course there are some questions that arise from being a prequel that happens when advances are made in film making .That the prequel technology in the film ends up looking more advanced and should in fact be less advanced . I think they get around this fact, that the ship Prometheus is is financed by a very wealthy benefactor and is a ship for exploration . In Aliens it is set on a mining station so would not be needing the same technology.

Prometheus is a film that is not just about the destination but the journey not only for the viewers but those on board the Prometheus .

I give Prometheus 9/10
