Jameson here with a recap of Day 2 of the New York Comic Con:

Jameson reports in on his first day at NY Comic Con!

If you’re in the mood for something really different this weekend (and you’re not faint of heart) head to the IFC Center (323 Sixth Avenue at W. 3rd Street, NYC) and spend the evening with Crispin Glover (Back to the Future, Wild at Heart, River’s Edge). The show starts with a live performance of Crispin Glover’s Big Slide Show, followed by a screening of What is it?, the first film in Glover’s It trilogy, a Q&A with Mr. Glover, and a book signing. Tickets are twenty bucks, and the whole thing begins at 7:30 pm, Friday through Sunday (Feb. 9th – 11th).

In a unique blend of art and structure, famed New York architect Peter Himmelstein has collaborated a second time with L.A. based Occupant films for Peep World, a voyeuristic look into a day in the life of a darkly comedic family tormented by fact, fiction, and mortality. The pic, penned by Himmelstein, was one of the “Luck 13” chosen for the 2004 Sundance Institute’s Filmmakers and Screenwriters Lab.
