ECCC 2010 Part 7: Hung Punisher
The one person I wanted to meet during the convention but never got the chance to was Thomas Jane. He was The Punisher in the movie that featured John Travolta as The Villain, which is THE BEST of all the attempts to bring The Punisher to the big screen. He's also the star of the Showtime Original Series "Hung", as well as being a writer/director/producer/hair-stylist/concubine/barrista.
Every time I went to his table, he was gone :(
So there I was, hanging out at the Crater on The Moon Booth (my favorite Local Indie Comic) when up walks the handsomest man I've ever seen in my entire life.
Let me tell ya when this guy comes walking up, just a bit taller than me but obviously *cut*... manly 5-o-clock stubble all over his perfectly chiseled jaw... retro-70's brown leather jacket hanging off his ever-so-wide shoulders... jeans that look like he was born in them... and smelling like a day-old shower covered in Brut aftershave? My bread ain't buttered on that side (if ya know what I mean) but for a man like THAT I'd be asking "please pass the JELLY!"
(Not sure what that means, but I think it got the point across)
Anywho, he asks me what this comic is all about and I *instantly* know that it's Thomas Jane. I swallow my Fanboy desire to fawn over him and start explaining the book to him better than the guy behind the booth could ever do (not the creator or the star, just some guy who was handling the money). He ended up buying some of the books, and we walked and talked for a while after that about generally geeky things; never once did I scream YOU ARE MY FAVORITE PUNISHER which is good because I'll bet that when taken out of context that might have sounded kinda Gay...
