  1. I'm a bit dubious about that from past experiences, all 5 of them will be moving between the talks, photoshoots and platninum/VIP signings. You might get a VQ ticket but I'd say the chances of actually getting an autograph are pretty slim. Maybe I'll decide nearer the time.
  2. You're pretty much screwed if all you want to do is get a single autograph of one of the Captains. £29 just to get into the place is already ridiculously overpriced as is the rest of the packages. Platinum pass at £899 is the first time it mentions being able to get a Captains autograph, people who can afford this clearly have more money than sense. I was really looking forward to this until I realised I've been priced out of it.
  3. Most of the merchandise on sale is usually pretty good, but generally overpriced in my opinion. The stall selling retro consoles and games was a disgrace with regards to pricing so I wouldn't touch it was a 10 foot barge poll. I've bought anime figurines from a few stalls and always haggle the price down if I think its too much. Its mainly down to word of mouth and personal judgement whether something is good quality or worth the price on the stalls. If you know which stall you bought it from I suggest you try contacting them directly to sort it out, most stalls will have a website/contact details.
  4. Yeah, Empire said it was better than the 2nd one, even though they gave it 3 stars and this one 2. Use the Empire star system with caution lol. Personally I love the first Transformers, funnny, great effects, good action and brings back that great feeling of nostalgia and childhood memories. Unfortunately the 2nd and 3rd ones Bay has gone all Wachowski brothers on us and delivered an overhyped and overlong CGI sh*t fest with ridiculous plot (using the term loosely) and terrible acting, with zero chemistry between the two human leads. However, like some posts say, these movies make money, so I expect it'll keep going.
  5. If the Kurgan had won humanity would have suffered, knowledge is power etc etc, whereas Conner will use the knowledge to help humanity. Its a pretty simple plot, but people seem to misunderstand this film all the time.
  6. Scaramanga, Alec Trevelyen 006, Dr. No, Goldfinger, Hugo Drax
  7. 1. Eva Green (Vesper - Casino Royale) 2. Barbara Bach (Anya Amasova - The Spy Who Loved Me) 3. Claudine Auger (Domino - Thunderball) 4. Britt Ekland (Mary goodnight - The Man with the Golden Gun) 5. Jane Seymour (Solitaire - Live and Let Die)
  8. He's been known to turn down interview questions and autographs related to Highlander, sort of like the way Alec Guiness was fed up of just being remembered for Star Wars. This was awhile ago though, so I'm hoping he's changed his mind becuase I love him in Highlander :)
  9. Didn't get to meet Christopher Lloyd but did have a chat with Lea Thompson, she was fantastic :) I went to Chrisopter Lloyds booth to check on the queue at about 12.30 Saturday (I had to go at 1) and as I had VQ ticket 441 I gave it to someone else, I hope they had better luck than me :)
  10. Christopher Lambert, Brian Tochi and Peter Jurasik were all fantastic, friendly and chatty.
  11. An actual Bond at an event would be great :) although Brosnan and Connery wouldn't be at the top of my list for Bond autographs :) Roger Moore and George Lazenby ftw!
  12. That would be awesome but I bet he wouldn't sign any Highlander stuff, which is what I'd like to get :)
  13. Maybe SM should invite along Alan Dale, that'll keep sci-fi, tv, film and Neighbours fans happy :)
  14. Congrats on how long you guys have been doing these, thats quite an achievement, and they're getting better every year
  15. Most people probably wouldn't look twice at him if he wasn't on tv, I'm sure he's a great guy but he is just an actor, and playing a character a lot of people find appealing.
  16. haha i am single. did i meet you on the saturday or something? Form an orderly cue boys, audition information will be released soon Lol. That is all.
  17. Haha we are, but sometimes meeting other attendees can be just as memorable, plus you're more likely to come away with some new friends by chatting to other attendees, as nice as the thought is you probably won't become best friends with the famous people lol.
  18. I wouldn't worry, I was standing next to Christopher Lambert whilst on the phone telling my friend I was just waiting for Christopher Lambert to arrive and start signing :)
  19. I loved the atmosphere too, you get to meet so many great and like minded people! Certainly have some great memories to take away with me and some autographs as well of course
  20. Angelina Jolie... in a steam room. Oh, and Kurt Russel and Val Kilmer... but not in a steam room.
  21. Got chatting to a few people which was really nice, then again I'm pretty terrible at remembering names so apologies in advance :) was there on the Saturday! Feel free to say hi on twitter @James_Hare
  22. I love Highlander and loved the collection on display, could have done with a few 'museum' like explanations and numbered items but otherwise very cool. I have the katana sword, and recently bought some original lobby cards for the first film, about 14 of them.
  23. Maybe people thought it was too expensive or too many got caught with the photoshoots but as I think Jason said when he was announced, he's been trying to get Chris for many years and this was the first such event he's done so why there weren't more people there for such a unique experience I don't know. All I can say that it was amazing meeting him and a pleasure to hear him talk and answer questions. He was interesting, informative, very honest and amusing. Went into a lot of detail about why he takes certain roles and what he looks for, why he's focusing on European cinema at present and a bit about his appearence in Ghost Rider 2 with Nicholas Cage and obviously Highlander, working with Sean Connery, how Sean helped him with the Scottish accent and how awesome it was doing the music videos with Queen amongst other things. He seemed to enjoy it and I just hope he wasn't disappointed by the low turnout. The audience may have been small but it was very appreciative and he was thoroughly nice when I met him for a couple of autographs too. Wish I could have made it to the Christopher Lambert talk, it sounded really good! Would love to have asked about the Queen music video, as well as his work on Highlander and Fortress. Hope he returns to LFCC!
