Comic-Con: True Geek Confessions
At Friday night's EW director’s panel, Kevin Smith, Judd Apatow, Zack Snyder and Frank Miller gave up their geekiest moments.
Smith said he had just hugged Snyder, whom he had never met, after seeing Watchmen footage: ”I see Watchmen, I’m ready to fuckin’ die, my life has been fulfilled.”
Apatow confessed: “When I was in 6th grade, I chased Baa Baa Black Sheep star Robert Conrad on my bicycle for five blocks."
When Star Wars fan Snyder was shooting a TV commercial with Harrison Ford, he told the star that he had a full-scale action figure of Han Solo in Carbon Freeze in his house. “He said, ‘You probably shouldn’t have told me that,’” recalled Snyder.
On the set of Miller's first film Sin City (which he co-directed with Robert Rodriguez), in the first scene Bruce Willis comes in and finds out his girl has become an exotic dancer. Jessica Alba appears on stage with a lasso. “I had picked Emmy Lou Harris’s ‘Wrecking Ball,’" said Miller, "and I found myself bursting into tears to find that [what I had dreamed] had come true.”
