Breaking news on the ground from Phoenix Comic Fest at around 7:45pm PST was that the convention center was evacuated in response to an alarm having been triggered and the public announcement system broadcasting a request for everyone to vacate the building.

The world of cinema lost one of its key influences last weekend as news of the passing of Bill Gold emerged from family spokeswoman Christine Gillow.

For full disclosure, I have never liked Melissa McCarthy’s performances.
