I posted about this last summer, I didn't realize it at the time we were there, but Comic Con had people promoting this (as with all media) movie. Every year the big nets and studios try to out do each other. One year it was sky writing, "Seek the Six", about the short lived cable series "The Prisoner", before the movie 2012 came out, there were huge banners all over with the number of days till the end of the world (using the 12-21-12 date). For "District 9" they had 'protesters' with signs about treating the aliens in a humane way. These things are all over the place, and sometimes they give you freebies that promote a game or movie or tv show.

This time, the whole side of the hotel at the Convention Center had a 'Skyline' poster on it, and there was a guy working a machine that pushed foam up through a 'person shaped' stencil. Then, the little foam man just floated up. The guy running it had on a shirt that said 'Don't look up" (the movie's tagline). My daughter asked what it was for, and the guy had no idea, he was just hired to work the machine.

Do a search on Comic Con Skyline 'foam man'. I posted pix before, but I don't know how to do a search, sorry.

This is an obvious 'jab' at the Rapture, and I believe a conditioning act to prepare those left behind that they are 'lucky ones'. *apparently the movie follows some who 'escaped'*.
