Rebellion Bias: Spurlock’s Comic-Con Documentary Trailer

Morgan Spurlock is one of those documentary directors that, like Michael Moore, makes my dad act like the sharp edge of his jock just poked through his jockeys and mutter about “liberal bias,” and “stilted opinions,” and “I like supersized fries, Goddammit.” My dad prefers the editorial vision of, say, a Sean Hannity… the difference between Spurlock and Hannity being that if Hannity showed up at SDCC he’d be roofied for spite, with videos of a line of furries angrily yiffing his leg soon to follow on YouTube. When Spurlock goes, he gets a documentary about it.

The flick is called Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope, and it follows a few attendees around the con (if memory serves, based on the Alien facehugger freebie masks that people are waving around, it looks like at least some of it was filmed at the 2010 convention), and provides a general sense of what it’s like to be there… minus the terminal exhaustion, unexplained physical breakdowns, and unless the film costs $1,500 to attend with another $1,200 for snacks, the cost.

Regardless, you can get a taste by checking out the movie’s trailer after the jump.

As someone who’s attended the last six SDCCs (And yes, we will be attending and covering this year’s as well), this movie almost doesn’t need to exist; I have enough pictures and Flip camera video to make three of these movies. But if you’ve never attended, I can tell you that just seeing this footage made me psyched to go back.

The movie opens April 6th. I will be attending for the same two reasons I Tivo G4’s SDCC coverage every year, despite being at the actual event: to see if I can see myself somewhere, and to point out to total strangers exactly where Hannity got yiffed.
