The trouble started early at the Phoenix Comicon last month. On May 25, the first day of the Memorial Day weekend event, police arrested 29-year-old Mathew Sterling, dressed in black and armed with two .45-caliber handguns, a .454-caliber handgun and a 12-gauge shotgun, all fully loaded; a combat knife; pepper spray; and throwing stars. He had planned to kill “bad police,” according to The Arizona Republic. In addition to outlawing costume-props for the rest of the pop-culture gathering at the Phoenix Convention Center, organizers also had to grapple with the ripple effect of increased security. Lines were rerouted.

Movies like Nine Months, Sense and Sensibility, Mickey Blue Eyes, Love Actually, About a Boy, Notting Hill, and, of course, Bridget Jones's Diary cemented Grant's status as a romantic leading man.
