Jessica Alba Gets Playful As Host For Comic Con

I remember I would um go to the comic book store. I would see a Sid City graphic. Dearest Okay. Well, I mean, in terms of being um having artwork in the uh in in u in a museum, I think most artists kind of dream of creating artwork that will someday land in a museum. Um, you know, we as we’re sitting there, we’re creating a painting and it be, you know, we’re moved by it, but art is is meant to be shared and this is a really huge um place for this for the art to be shared on on such a huge scale, you know, and you know, as I mentioned before, you know, we are we we we have taken up the craft of of storytelling and um to have our stories being celebrated in this way is is really makes me very proud and very humble at the same time because this is this is kind of the thing that we I’ve dreamed about since I was a little kid. You know, going into a museum, we always want to see our stories on the wall. We connect with the the subjects on the wall. Hopefully, we’ll be able to connect with the subjects over time on the wall. Um, we all want to be that hero in our, you know, in our own stories and we get to see that hero played out in two or three dimensions, um, you know, on the walls of this museum. So, it’s a dream come true in your life. It is. That’s pretty cool. Absolutely. That’s amazing. I like that. Art is meant to be shared. Yes. Yes. So, I’m going tell you a story. My favorite stories about Sin City that no one’s heard. Which one, Robert? You’ll you’ll see. I’m hoping you can answer something for me. Okay. I’d go to the book comic book store and I would see a Frank Miller graphic novel for Sin City. I’d buy I’d go home and go, “Oh, I already had three copies.” You know, you just kept buying the same books over and over again. You kept on doing those new covers. No, it was the same cover. I was just always hoping it was a new one because I was like I I was just so arrested by it. But Frank did something talking about art being shared. Really amazing on the movie. Each character that we uh cast, each actor played a character from this book. So as a wrap gift, as each actor finished their work, we would wrap them and send them off. But Frank being so generous would give them the most stunning rap gift. It would be one of the classic original pieces of their character. So Jessica would get a Nancy Callahan. Britney would get a Shelly. Benisa Loro would get an Iron Jack. Bruce Willis got an amazing cardigan. And you would see their faces when they were given these gifts of original art for their character and their jaws would just drop and they would become little kids again at Christmas. I hope you still have yours. I wished I had cast myself in the movie because I cast Frank as the priest and I thought each time an actor got another stunning piece I went, “Oh my god, I wish I cast myself.” As one of the characters, Rodriguez, well, I kind of gave you an original. I know. So, here’s the big surprise at the very end. Much to my surprise, was not expecting it. If you look up the original um hard the original graphic novel collection, the first trade paperback of the first set of Marv stories, it’s um Marv in the rain, the cover and this hard rain on it. It was huge, massive. He did it on a huge scale. They brought that up right almost started crying to see how the rain was done with the white on the black with the ruler and the splatter. I still just stare at that thing and it’s just a real work of art. So since art is meant to be shared, I’m going to put it in the museum cuz you have to see it because they’re programmed to rotate so that every six months you have to see this cuz I cannot just selfishly have it for myself. Art is art is meant to be shared. And Jess, if you have yours, you should put it up for some time, too, because it is incredible. It is incredible. And to see his process, what I was telling you about when you can see the hand of him making it, it just connects you even more. It connects you even more. and you’ll go home and you’ll find that suddenly you can do things you weren’t able to do before because you realize this really was done by a human and not just Zeus. It was done by somebody. It’s so funny because because my relationship with Robert was I I would come in and and you know I mean I I I in my relationship with Robert on Twin City, he’s an exceedingly generous director. I got to talk out of school a little bit and tell you that some directors walk around like witch doctors and act like everything they do is impossible for humans to understand. Robert makes it all very accessible. Yeah, he does. And even even I I found he invited me into some of his most theoret theoretical thinking about what he did. Um and and and uh it’s because the creative spirit has to be a generous spirit. Creative people have to feed off each other because because we we you
