Comic-Con
2013:
The Ender's Game Exhibit
Whether or not the controversy over the upcoming Lionsgate adaptation of Orson Scott Card's science fiction novel touches you, there is no doubt the film looks impressive. In a strange cross-promotion at Comic-Con, HGTV gave their real estate over to a tie-in with Lionsgate (last year they had shared it with Disney for Frankenweenie.) At least with Ender's Game, there's a moment of actual "home," but hard to see the garden.
At any rate, it was a pretty thorough display of movie props and set pieces, reflecting the hard work of hundreds of people who themselves have nothing to do with Card's politics. So appreciate the work, and like many displays that blow through Comic-Con, you have to wonder if it wouldn't be fun for it to tour to a few cities across the U.S...
