For those attending Film Fair Events, Here are 2024 Dates.

Saw X was another entertaining addition to the highest grossing (in every sense of the word) horror franchise of all time. It wasn't the best of the series but did have a different take on the usual ending. Fans of the franchise will not be disappointed.

That double costume shoot sounds amazing!

I hope he turns up Ive booked to meet him so many times and he cancels. If he is comes then thats massive guest for me

I do frustrate myself with getting annoyed with stuff like this as I know they do it for reasons, it's just you can't help thinking 'was there no other way?'. Like couldn't they have said that the Preds ship sent a signal ahead to start the defrost process, seeing as it was entirely automated anyway, and that way they could say the eggs were laid and developing ahead of their arrival. But alas, film logic will be film logic. And agreed about the PredAlien pregnancy thing. Again, we know nothing about Predator reproduction, so maybe they do it that way, but it was stupid. The only other film in the franchise I hate as much as this one is The Predator.

Yeah, those were the same complaints everyone else had when the 2 films first came out. Personally I didn't mind AVP or the sped-up incubation periods - I knew it was necessary for the plot to move forwards swiftly and as a fan I was just thankful we were finally getting the film after waiting since the comics in 1989. People slated Paul W.S. Anderson when it was announced he was directing but I think we were lucky to get a known director EVEN if it was him - there's no way an established/respected A-list director would've touched the film (as much as fanboys wanted Scott/Cameron/Verhoeven), they didn't need to. AVP:R was awful yes, I've only ever seen it twice and its easily the worst film in the Alien/Predator franchise; it was already a crap script to begin with way before the even crapper directors were added so it was never gonna be good. It's no wonder Fox couldn't get a director attached and had to settle for two dozy SFX guys instead. I hated the "Predalien" and the fact it was able to impregnate people with multiple chestbursters - it was a stupid creature and idea. I have hopes that the Disney/Fox merger will one day give us a new and better film but I can't see it happening TBH...at least not live-action anyway.

Old ones but AVP1 and AVP2. I've seen both before but I was bored and it's been a long time. AVP 1 isn't terrible but it's far from great and it does suffer from some plot inconsistencies (saying the maps show the pyramid is directly under the whaling station but then showing the 30 degree Predator made tunnel runs from the town to the cavern with it in disproves that location) and some annoying points - we know from inference that the species the chest bursters incubate in can influence their final form/abilities, but the writers made it all happen far too quickly when it's not a new species they were incubating in to explain their seriously rapid development. OK we are never given a specific timeline for these things to happen in, but it seems like they went from egg hatching to fully developed Xenomorph extraordinarily quickly. The queen wasn't unfrozen until they activated the step plate in the entrance, but we are shown that within what can only be a few hours, the face huggers were fully developed in the eggs, they attached and laid the chestbursters who almost immediately emerged from their hosts and then they fully grew within 30 mins? (Given the archaeologist posited that the pyramid reoriented every 10 minutes after that phase started and there was only 2/3 alterations). AVP2. There's pretty much nothing positive I can say about this film. I know the darkness issue is pretty infamous, and the stated reasons for that, but lets face it, even if it was reasonably lit it'd still have been awful. The directors said it was a combination of low budget and wanting to keep the aliens all in darkness so that you couldn't see it was actors in suits, but all of the other films had the same issue and did it so much better. You can keep them hidden for the most part, and still light it well so that the audience isn't left wondering if they need to go for an eye test afterwards.

I know where you were this weekend Nice auto's though and Smile Time was one of the best episodes!

I get what you mean, I’m working on getting my “Light at the end” signed I’ve now got Davison on it twice once on the front and now on the character page with Sarah Sutton, I’m hoping to have Colin and Sylvester on their character pages later this year, which is why an appearance by Sophie Aldred and Nicola Bryant would be lovely, specifically what I can get them on.

Had the series come back in 2008 then it would be better as we’d get one every 5 years, but 2 years after a big number is ridiculous at best

Thanks,i thought that was probably what you meant,just got a bit worried there for a moment

The former. If I decide to visit a theatre (for example) that weekend while in London, I won’t be bringing a poster tube with me.

As for LFCC itself, still waiting on new guests, but I've made some changes to my line up, namingly with Colin Baker, as I've switched him from "Mindwarp" to "Caves of Androzani" as i'll be able to get Peter Davison on that Tomorrow actually, and its reorganising the combinations i can get. speaking of that i hope LFCC gets Katy Manning and John Levene as i've managed to score a copy of "The Dæmons" signed by Richard Franklin, so unless he attends anything which is very unlikely, that'll be my best shot to get whose left of the 71-73 regulars.

The signatures which are dedicated are thankfully on lesser items mainly companion Chronicles, and in those ones if i got the second actor from them i could use a silver pen and have the original name covered leaving the signature intact.

so we've not had any guest announcements for a while, would have assumed we'd get one today but i guess not. in unrelated news managed to pick up a CD of "The Celestial Toymaker" signed by Jackie Lane and a copy of "Fury from the Deep" signed by a few people, including Roy Spencer who has gone off the radar to my knowledge and Richard Mayes who has passed on, so overall not too bad (The Set also has Frazer Hines)

The 2024 dates for the London Comic Mart have been announced: Sunday 4th February Sunday 7th April Sunday 12th May Sunday 23rd June Sunday 11th August Sunday 22nd September Sunday 1st December As usual, admission to these events at the Royal National Hotel is free from noon - "Early Bird Entry" from eleven o'clock costs £5, if you want to snap up some swift bargains... though not every table may be fully open for business then. You may find it sensible to check the http://londoncomicmart.co.uk website for any last-minute updates, or further details. The Royal National Hotel is within easy walking distance of Russell Square underground station, and not all that far from Euston and King's Cross main line stations, come to that. The official closing time is 4:00pm, or when the dealers run out of stuff to sell. We'll have our Funko Pop friends alongside us, and of course it's a great opportunity to pick up some hard-to-find vintage dvds, blu-rays, and books and magazines at bargain prices too...

it was a bold decision, i remember upon leaving Doctor who Smith did "Terminator: Genysis" and he was all over the magazine covers despite having a small role, his film career hasn't done all too well, but in todays age TV shows arent a limit like they were, example being House of the Dragon, even if to the British public he will always be 11.

Brilliant. Diamond pass bought

Finally got around to watching the live action remake of The Little Mermaid. Oh, my god. 10/10. I had chills most of the way through it. I know we're sick of Disney churning out remakes but this made up for all the disappointments they've put out over the years.

Gosh the guessing games were always so fun. One time when Costas Mandylor was announced they actually referenced me in the guessing game post. I miss that close knit feeling there once was on here.
