    Official Update - 04/06/2020

    in London Film & Comic Con 2021

    I have to say I think that is a very intelligent, honest and thoughtful response from Showmasters given the circumstances, I personally think it has been very well thought out, and the bigger picture is this benefits EVERYBODY. (I know some are not happy about a non refund for 14 month but the bigger picture is essentially that money is tied up, Showmasters would loose a ridiculous amount of money if they started issuing refunds to the detriment of their reputation and it would set them back about 3 years as a business, that would also mean for the next few years smaller (cheaper) guests)

    I was essentially going to attend for Henry Thomas so it looks like I may give Nov 2020 a miss and look to 2021

    Unless of course one of the 'biggger' (subjective!) guests for November appeals to me..

    Much respect to Jason and the team.

    Hope to see you in 2021.

    Val Kilmer Appreciation Thread

    in London Film & Comic Con 2019

    Posted

    My experience was similar, I had photo shoots booked for his last scheduled appearance that got cancelled, I spent a lot of Sunday just popping back to his signing area to find out the latest update. I honestly didn't expect his photo shoot to go ahead but I was so pleased, humbled and grateful that it did.

    I went straight to his signing area after the photo shoot and had a signature within 5 mins so that was a bonus... 

    My photo didn't come off the printer so I was last to leave the photo area while it was re printed, I was so grateful the helpful ladies working the area managed to sort because I would not have felt comfortable to have them bring Val back, even though he was just round the back of the fixture and hadn't actually vacated the area.

    I have a whole new appreciation and respect for him..

    This is something I am trying to find out as well, as they filmed my interaction with him. He has such a great sense of humor. As soon as he saw my Charlie Sheen diamond pass he grabbed it pulled it towards him and picked up a pen and drew devil horns and a tail on it.

    Such a great man that made everyone laugh. He didn't speak much due to his health but everything else more than made up for it.

    Hope I get to meet him again.

    Such a great story, I read about your interaction with Val earlier today and I have been thinking about it a lot since, so pleased he was enjoying himself and clearly had a mischievous streak. I love it. 

    I hope we find out more about the documentary in due course.

    I am a new Val Kilmer fan after Sunday and I will now always be super proud to be so...

    What a wonderful, brave man. I know the term 'brave' is used a lot and sometimes the merit is hard to find, but for anyone who had the honour and privilege of seeing Val on Sunday I think we agree he showed true tenacity and a vulnerability I found endearing and somewhat touching...  . I truly hope he comes back to a signing event soon.

     

    Does anyone have any insight into the documentary he was filming?

    Hope everyone going over the weekend has a fantastic time.

    I go Sunday... So excited. I've been binge watching Two and A Half Men in prep for meeting Charlie.

    It'll be fabulous to catch up with some friends also. :thumbup: 

     

    Safe travels everyone. Stay cool.

    And are the plastic on dvd/bluray sleeves acid free?

    That's why I was asking..

    Mine are all stored away from sunlight and I even have them facing the wrong way so the spine is against the back of the storage unit so it doesn't  fade.;)

    Have to say so far so good though..

    I just want to enjoy them as much as possible, that's why I get the cover signed so I look at them lots but as long as they last 40 year or so I'm good with that..

     

    Thank you for your input everyone. :thumbup:

    I started coming to Showmasters events in 2011 and always get a few DVD/blu ray sleeves signed, all mine have lasted so far and show no signs of fading.  For example, I got 3 DVD sleeves signed by John Hurt at the Entertainment Media Show in 2011 and they all look great.  However, within a couple of years I was buying 8x10s as well as getting essential DVD sleeves signed, and I protect these in proper acid free autograph sleeves.  So SM are certainly getting their money's worth from me!! :help:

    I got John Hurts autograph too, on an Elephant Man DVD. Looks great, I do like 10 x 8s. the ones I have are all in an an acetate free folder, along with my original photo shoot pics.

    I have a VHS cover signed by some of the Who people from probably 22 years ago that's still in it's case because I've never really thought about it and I think they were fine, at least they were when I looked at it last a year or so ago.  I'm sure they will be fine if they have been so far, but sometimes if it makes no aesthetic difference it's better to be safe than sorry.

    Yes indeed... some mine are about 8 year old and they look like they have just been signed, no smudges or ink transferring onto the clear plastic and I like the format cos it keeps them flat and clean and they almost look framed if that makes sense. My only fear with photo copies is they may look like an auto pen or pre print, but for the rarer signers it will be worth doing.

    If there's any doubt I'd store them safely.  If you have or can get access to a scanner you can always scan the covers and put the scans in the cases so you can still see the auto's but the real ones are safe.

    Thank you, they seem to be surviving okay so far but I am planning on getting Val Kilmer to sign my Doors Blu Ray and I think I will definitely be scanning that one and protecting the 'real' cover -  Sound advice Raylenth.

    Hi,

    I have been coming to SM events for over 10 years, I don't post much on the forum but lurk frequently :rolleyes:

    I have a number of signed DVDs and Blu Rays, I like them because it means I look at the autographs regularly and they aren't just stored in an acetate free wallet/box etc

    But I was wondering if anyone can provide any advice or pointers as to how autograph/ink friendly the plastic covering the outer sleeves on DVDs and Blu Rays are? (or would you recommend storing the sleeves separately in acetate free wallets)

     

    Thank you.
