Every Academy Award Winner and Nominee We’ve Met So Far: A Special MCC Clip Show

Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover: my wife Anne and I visit entertainment conventions together! As a married couple 21 years and counting, and best friends for years before that, we've attended everything from cozy local gatherings to small-town festivals to large-scale comic-cons in some of America's largest convention centers -- three Star Wars Celebrations, four Dragon Cons, four Superman Celebrations, a couple dozen Chicago events, and several other Midwest shows easily reachable from our Indianapolis hometown. We're the Goldens. It's who we are and what we do. Our most recent show was last weekend's Indiana Comic Convention, where the headliner was Nicolas Cage, kind of a big deal to the national mainstream media who reported this was his first-ever appearance at an American comic-con. He spawned some controversy among online geeks when most of his photo ops bore the same dumbstruck-hangdog expression, which, to be fair, he's sported in most of his movies. The unintentional running gag became troll-fodder for days afterward, whether as an inroad to complain about his high fees in particular or to complain about the very concept of paying to meet celebrities for autographs and pics, in this economy or any other. Regardless, longtime MCC readers are well aware it's something Anne and I have long enjoyed doing together, especially our jazz-hands poses. If none of this is your thing, then hey, cool, but maybe spend your online life joining chats about what does bring you joy personally? And in exchange, I won't subscribe to 600 sports-based Facebook groups and keep replying to every single thread, "SPORTS SUCK LOL!" or follow you around and flame you anytime you mention how much you love alcohol, which I cannot stand. Seem fair? […]
