  1. anyone know how many tickets have been sold or will be sold in total (ie do SM have an upper limit?
  2. I would like to see guests that haven't been before or not for a while. The main uk SG1 show has far too many repeat guests. Whilst they may say they are catering to the fans who want xxxx back again because they where so good at the last show, it gets irritating paying to see the same 5 people again just because you really want the one new guest. Anyway..... I'd like JR, Jay Acovone, Tom Mcbeath and of course Ben Browder and Claudia Black.
  3. Essentially that's a bit of a poor policy, and a kop out in trying to blame others for your reasoning. All I would like to know is whether I will need to specifically buy something for a guest in attendence. I find a lack of co-operation from the organisers who are quite willing to take our money a little disturbing. It also confirms that the customers who make these events what they are, are merely viewed as a commodity. Actually whilst I can't claim to have been to every single con out there, of all the ones I have been to over the last 11 years, not one has ever listed the photo's they would have beforehand.
  4. Forbidden Planet sell them, they have an online shop so have a look there. If you can wait for the event I'm sure there will be someone there selling them.
  5. From stuff thats on the TV during the day - Murder She Wrote, you don't really need to think about it and it always has a happy ending Stuff i've recorded or have on dvd, any of the Law and Orders', Family Guy, Red Dwarf, Stargate to name a few.
  6. It's a bit different betewwn books an TV shows. Generally although TV shows may be created by 1 person they are developed and bought to the screen by many, and the rights are owned by the studio, so it's a lot harder to define a person as the owner of the work. They allow people to write unofficial companions because it brings attention to their show, and chances are they may have not had any tie ins written themselves. However when it comes to authors, they are the owners of their work and have every right to defend it from people who use it without authorisation. I've heare of other writers (not just JKR) who won't even allow fan fiction to be written using their books as the characters are their propety. JK is entirely within her rights to do this and remembering what she has done before, I really wouldn't be suprised if she donates any settlement money to cahrity.
  7. In defence of the mods (not that they need it) but they usually are very good about deleting stuff. I reported 2 spam threads yesterday and they where gone very quickly.
  8. Not funny or clever! But you didn't take offense to all the other dead people suggested?
  9. None of the links to the guests filmography's are correct! Michael Rosenbaum and Patrick Stewarts both link to Michael Shanks, Stephens to Jewel Straites, and the others are incorrect as well.
  10. Amazon own it, not the art dealers.
  11. As far as I'm aware when you pre order something they shouldn't take the money from you, and only take it when they actually dispatch the item. I'd be vary wary about paying up front for a pre order.
  12. In the press today it said that it was bought by a fine art dealer Hazlitt, Gooden and Fox but it looks like it was bought on behalf of someone else: Amazon, the on line retailer. Direct link : Amazon JK Rowling link Amazon home page
  13. Out of all the people I've met over the years (including my most wanted - Richard Dean Anderson) one of the best was meeting Steven Speilberg. Whilst I can see that directors might not be to everyone's tastes, there will be more than enough who do want to meet them.
  14. I don't suppose it's any different that any other costume!
  15. Really? I'd have thought Torri would go quite well (not James or Adrian levels) as it's her first UK appearance I think? It's not her first UK appearance, she did do a Stargate con 2 or 3 years ago (where I met her), but I don't think she's been over for a while though.
  16. Just remember to get your VQ tickets for the auto's as soon as you get there, don't wait until want until you are ready to go through.
  17. I'm not sure if they're actually coming next year yet or not, I think SM are just trying to get them for next year. Erm, I think SM said that they can't tell us incase anyone from another event gets them for the time SM want them, purposely I mean. I think what they said is on a page between 12-14 something like that. Yeha, they said that they didn't want to risk the guest being poached so wanted to keep it quiet until they could definatively book them or another event.
  18. They do at some events but I haven't heard of group photo shoots at SM events but someone will correct me if i'm wrong.
  19. Or you just eject them from the photo shoots and auto queue's.
  20. they said one hadn't worked with SM before so no. 3 isn't going to be Michael, have another guess.
  21. That would be a good deterant for all those who ignore the "no posed photo's" signs!
  22. I did think that, whether organisers should do a guide to events for the new guests. Either that or have the guests operate a buddy system. Pair up all the guest newbies with a more experienced attendee, have them show them the ropes as it where. It's not practical I know, but a passing thought.
  23. This is not directed at Helen because I don't think there SHOULD be contact, but in general - I have literally NEVER known a guest (except for Milo, which everyone was confused about) not want to touch at all. For most con attendees it's instinct to do so because everyone (almost) does it. With Milo it was, supposedly, a matter of saving time. It wasted more time than it saved because everyone is conditioned to stand in a friendly pose - people aren't conditioned to stand at alert with arms by their sides, and it takes more time to shove their arms back down there. Yes, it is anyone's right to do what they please, and in Milo's case if it was a matter of not wanting to be touched, it's understandable and perfectly fine - he smiled and at least acknowledged that you were there. There is no excuse for standing halfway across the room looking like you want to run a mile as Helen seems to have done. You're being paid and furthermore, you're an actress. At least pretend like you give a s***. Standing that far away is a bit unusual though! Maybe Too Tall needs to add a photoshoot etiquette section to his faq?
  24. that's what I was thinking as well. I'm glad you said it.
