    No review for Michael Flatley's Magnum Opus "Blackbird" yet?

    I would oblige but it would mean having to watch the film.

    I had the misfortune of hearing a soundbite of it on the radio.

     

    It seems to be the product of what happens when you have a lot of money lying around and nothing to spend it on. 

    Fair play to him, but he could have at least kept it for his own private collection and not public consumption. :D

  2. I assume that @showmasters has changed the refund policy on photoshoots again? 

    As per below with regards to Colin Baker not making it to Glasgow.

    I don't know if this was info that was made public and I have just missed it.

    For people with lack of self control with money (as in an idiot like me haha), I would have probably booked photo shoots for Glasgow when I had money available. Instead I didn't want to risk guest cancellation and be left with a load of vouchers that I may not have been able to use and a such I've spent my cash elsewhere in life.

    This is not a complaint, just feedback

    Just pointing out that a lot of information seems to not be available as of late, without a lot of investigation.

    I appreciate that a larger number of the casual customers will use social media mostly. But personally the forum for me is the main feed for up to date Showmasters related info. And as of late it seems to be getting more and more neglected.

  3. Sort out a storage for my autos/photos. 

    Buy a prop/piece of memorabilia. (I have always thought about it, but I've never seen anything I've wanted to commit too). 

    Come up with an idea to cosplay next year at a con. I've never done it before. ( a year should be enough time to plan, right?? :lol:

  4. My first con was a few years ago. I only realised it was taking place the day before. I had forever seen adverts for previous cons in SFX magazine and never really thought about actually going. 

    I saw Dirk Benedict was gonna be there and thought, why not? I loved the The A-Team and realised I could actually meet one of them, I was not disappointed, he was a lovely guy. I came away like the kid who had just been given the best Christmas present of all time. I was buzzing for ages after. 

    So that was my first experience of meeting someone to get their auto and several hundreds of £'s later (at least, so far). I've been going to cons ever since.

    Roll on the next one!

    Hi

    When can we expect an update about the November event please

    Hi Dancol

     

    The previous post to your's has the answer to your question via a Facebook post from Jason. 

    Q: Is November going to happen do you think?

    A: we put out official statements about events once everything has been looked into and weighed up and it is then put out as a proper statement , I am not going to put out a comment with out a full statement , at this time our official statement is we will look at where things are around 2 months out from all events , that has been our policy sins all this kicked off , hope that helps

    Last night I found out my local carnival, due to be held in August this year, has been cancelled. Got me concerned about this year’s LFCC.

    To be fair, the carnival’s main source of income is donations from local businesses and the public rather than entry tickets so as SM said in another thread, LFCC is still going unless advised by the government.

    It's only natural for anyone to be concerned what's going on just now. I just feel that no one can speculate what is going on in 2/3 months time, when there is so much uncertainty about the next few days. 

    All you can do is plan as if an event is going ahead. Book your accommodation, book your travel. Plan on it going ahead. 

    I would use the same caution I use for any event that is more than a few weeks in advance, regardless of the current situation . Just incase MY circumstances change and I can no longer go. As tempting as it is to book using "advanced saver rates" to save a few £'s. I don't. I've had my accommodation booked for Collectormania in Birmingham since sometime last year. But I can cancel it anytime up to and including 24hrs before.

    Obviously my entry tickets/photos ops etc are a different story. If I cancel then i'm out of pocket.

    Is this thread not just a slight variation on the Films Watched in 2020 one?

    True, but minus the reviews. Although not always the case, I associate the other thread with first time watching of relatively new films. 

    Also, The Book of Eli.
