    Aw ok sweet,cheers bud

    The gifts are usually tailored to the guest they are for, the Diamond gift for Mads Mikkelsen last time they got him was a mug with a still from Hannibal on it.  The Gina Torres DP was something Firefly related but I can't remember what it specifically was.

    The gift is really just something small and extra, it's best not to factor it in when you are deciding whether to buy a DP or not.  As Mfahey said, the mark up, the difference between all the items added together and the DP price, is basically a 'fee' for guaranteeing the auto and priority access to that guest before non DP holders.

    Looking at the announcement to celebrate James Bond 70th and guests being announced to coincide with this. Seems to confirm what we suspect, that November will be the Doctor Who event this year. Potentially I'm reading to much into this

    Obviously without any announcements it is all guess work, but lets face it, LFCC is heavily attended by Star Wars and Doctor Who guests as they are Jason's passions, so time will tell, it doesn't mean the guests will be free to attend, but it won't be a surprise if they get a load for Winter, if not for Summer.

    I have to agree, best film Marvel have put out in in a while. I laughed, and definatly cried. The actor playing the high inquisitor was fantastic and has to be up there with the best villains in the MCU, definatly the most outright evil

    The door line was brilliant and I'm glad they left it in.  I don't know if it's MCU fatigue but I haven't been this pleased with any of the other recent stuff unfortunately.

  4. Nobody:  I finally got around to watching this film and it's a fairly decent offering in the genre, and was enjoyable to watch, but it is pretty much a John Wick knock off.  Still, it was decently done with a good cast and storyline.

    Guardians Of The Galaxy 3: I thought this was really good and the best thing the MCU stable have produced in a while.  I don't know how it'll stand up to a rewatch when it's on Disney +, once you know what's coming, but it was a very good film.

    i hope a few big guests are announced soon, as current line up is really not doing it for me.  First time in years I have not been hyped to go to LFCC.   I am not dissing the guests as I am sure many are really happy with the guests announced... this is just my own thought.    I can't currently justify flights and hotel costs for 3 days as coming from Scotland for the 1 or two guests i would currently get.   Normally i am wondering if i can fit in everything and everyone i want to see over the 3 days.

    I only just booked off the back of the Mike Coulter announcement.  I did want Clark originally but he's cancelled so many times I think my enthusiasm for him has long worn off.  So for me there isn't anyone else I really want either.

    Why has the Moderation disappeared? Are SM not bothered about the forums anymore & don't want to assign any staff to it, now the volunteer moderators have gone?

     

    Short story short, the ones who did it regularly all left and I guess at that point, the office was more focused on maintaining their socials and IIRC things had/started tailing off here anyway so I guess they thought there was no need any more for a full time moderator.

    I've made 197 posts & according to the first post in this thread I should be a 'Best Boy' but I'm actually ranked as a 'Gaffer'.

    Have the number of posts needed for the ranks changed & is there an updated list?

    I'm guessing you won't get an answer to this, there's not really any mods around any more and other than posting the announcements I don't think they really maintain the page that much any more.

    Going to LFCC as part of my stag do in the morning. Would have LOVED to get a group stag do photo with Chuck Norris but for the 6 of us to get a photo with him that's £750. Shocking really 

    Most events have a limit as well so you might not have been allowed 6 in it anyway.  Usually the limit is 4, though I'm not sure about LFCC at the moment.

     i do wish they did Diamond Pass Options where you could chose to upgrade the tickets in a personal customisation, as when i got one for Jodie i got the basic photo, would have loved one with her in the outfit, Showmasters if you're reading theres an idea for you.

     

    I think it's just too complicated, it means that every pass would have to be custom printed.  They can't just say 'print 1000 of them for X' each one would have to be custom printed and priced and that would be a logistical nightmare.

    With Aaronovitch it was my first LFCC and I wasn’t as keeping up with guests as I was I met 5 that con as I only did one day and didn’t have the relatively disposable income I have nowadays, had I seen the name I would have tried to have the money to get it.

     

    it’s a shame LFCC doesn’t get that many writers so far I’ve only had luck with I want to say off the top of my head 1 writer which was Simon Furman who wrote “axis of Insanity” but it’s more focused on actors really, i did get a sound engineer amazingly when Alister Lock attended, honestly he was lovely to meet, thats more an this show thing or as I plan to do Fantoms signings for Doctor who.

    Most of the big events don't really get the behind the scene's people, unless they are big/cult type directors ect.  It might be because typically they don't charge for them so there might be less incentive to get them, but that's a complete guess.  For collectors of series it's nice to get the people behind it as well, but for the BTS people, it might be best to concentrate on the smaller shows for them, or the dedicated Who events that take place in various locations around the country.

    London Film Fair is a good event for smaller, older guests, but I don't recall seeing them getting any non actors either.

    Whilst he does ask for you to place an order for one of his table items, he does allow around 5 items to be signed, or he did last time, without asking for extra money. 

    That's not to say it will be same this time mind. 

    That's good to know, thank you for that.  I have one of his novels I was thinking of taking if I come.

    anyone? @Raylenth

    Depends on who it's for, it is set according to the guest now so there's no one answer.  The description of the DP inclusions in the shop should tell you though.

    Great guest. Keep the Wednesday cast coming please. Jenna, Emma, Christina & Riki next?

    I have a feeling that we won't see Jenna at events, but I have nothing really concrete to base that on and could be very wrong.  I've heard things about her being very hard to get for the auto hunters so I just wonder if she won't be keen for signings as well.  Hopefully she will though.

    Hi all, looking forward to this weekend. Just a quick question; I have a David Tennant Diamond Pass Batch 10, will I get into the first photo shoot of the day in the morning or will I have to wait until the afternoon? Thanks in advance. 

    AM shoot, all Diamonds will be called first.  Get there about 15 mins after it starts I'd say.
