Interview with Boondock Saints II Actors Julie Benz and Clifton Collins, Jr.
During San Diego Comic Con 2009, I was privileged enough to interview Julie Benz and Clifton Collins, Jr., from The Boondock Saints II: All Saint’s Day. It was a round table interview, which means it was a group interview. There were several other people there with me asking questions. I did get an extra special treat while there, though, because I was just expecting to see Julie and Clifton, but when our interview was over, Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus sat down right in front of me.

2012 (2009) Spoilers Galore!
I can think of about 2,012 reasons why you shouldn’t watch 2012, but I will spare you the full list for right now. The whole “end of the world will happen in 2012” mostly came about because the Mayan Long Count calendar ends in December of 2012. So is this going to be another Y2K scare or will the Earth really end? Who cares, but in the movie 2012, the earth really gets effed up and a metric butt-ton of people die.
