halfbloodme Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Just out of curiosity, who stayed up all night waiting for the announcement? I'm glad I went to bed!!! I went to bed, quite happily so. he played a role in a 80s cop show where the other 2 leads dominated it (and no one else) and has a similar(?) role in a recent sf TV show. How so? He was the lead. On a forum for autograph shows/cons whose usual main guests are from sci-fi/fantasy/cult movies/TV shows, I think it is unusual for people to be unaware of EJO. Who are they here for? Soap stars? Soap stars? well close enough I think it's called Twilight lol (ducks and runs from the abuse I am sure to get) Oh boy, you've done it now!!!

sagart Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) On a forum for autograph shows/cons whose usual main guests are from sci-fi/fantasy/cult movies/TV shows, I think it is unusual for people to be unaware of EJO. I don't think it's unusual at all. As has been previously stated, Blade Runner is a 27 year old cult film, his "cop show" hasn't been aired for ages and Battlestar Galactica aired only on satellite here in the UK. You'd be surprised the number of people who DON'T have Sky TV ... 1/5 of the population have Sky, that's all. So no, I don't think it unusual that someone on these boards hasn't heard of Edward James Olmos at all. I bet I could name some poeple I consider big names that YOU've never heard of. ;-) By all means, go for it. It'll pass the time. Hang on. They're not all from Twilight, are they?

Who are they here for? Soap stars? some of the more popular guests are Star Wars, Twilight, Heroes, Stargate and a few others and EJO hasnt been in any of those... I dont think its too far fetched to have not heard of him Im sure some people on here are equally shocked that Nicky doesnt know what Chuck is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar6662 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 To be honest, And feel free to shout 'bah humbug' at me, while it's all very well trying to stir up interest / excitement etc, until that contract is actually in your hands, nothing is certain and I'd rather wait and get a definite confirmation than be teased like this about something which isn't finalised yet.

On a forum for autograph shows/cons whose usual main guests are from sci-fi/fantasy/cult movies/TV shows, I think it is unusual for people to be unaware of EJO. Who are they here for? Soap stars? Was he the lead in Battlestar Galactica? I dunno, I never saw it, I thought the blonde chick in red was the lead. Still its a show that's only on Sky I think? And yes, on "a forum whose usual main guests are from sci-fi/fantasy/cult movies/TV shows" it isn't surprising at all - as I stated earlier most of the people here on this forum are of the younger generation and not the same as the more "sophisticated and knowledgable" users on say AICN or Empire or Total Film. Here it's TV shows like Lost, Heroes, Dr Who, Smallville, SG1, ST, Supernatural, Prison Break etc that dominate. Even if you're one of these TV show fans BG is the only show you'll have heard of him from. Miama Vice, he was in the background, anyone who wasnt a fan only know Crocket and Tubbs. Plus some people here are only interested in one or two shows and that's all. And as for soaps, well they have had BH 90210, Eastenders, Allo Allo and The Bill guests.

WILLOW99 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 There's always the fact that you may know someone from their face but not actually know their name. what's with the statement- "most of the people here on this forum are of the younger generation and not the same as the more "sophisticated and knowledgable" users on say AICN or Empire or Total Film"- I know plenty of the younger generation who are very sophsticated and knowledgeable. also how old do you have to be to count as the younger generation? I like that SM put the announcement up as it's generated interest and got people chatting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, if you want to watch some great TV (not just sci-fi), rent or borrow the BSG DVD's. You'll be doing yourself a service. It really is wonderful drama;great acting, great writing.

Am I the only one here who hasn't seen that movie, doesn't care to therefor doesn't care to meet the actors - at least because of that movie? No no, I haven't seen it either. I will probably one day watch it but only because I am always happy to watch any movie that I've never seen before. So I'll watch it at least once. Sooner or later. But I'm not going out of my way to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I know you aren't, I have many friends very much the same way.

Queen_Sindel Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 still no news? Jason said it was an US guest, so provided he/she is on the West Coast at the moment (which is kind of likely) the local time currently is be 4 something AM. I wouldn't expect anything before 5 PM our time, quite possibly even later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDonovan Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Now I feel old... considering Blade Runner and ET both came out the year I was born.... I got that beat - I remember seeing ET at the cinema on it's initial run. Me too. That was back in the days when half of the cinema was smoking, and someone came out halfway through the film with Kia-oras. But seriously people - a lot of people on this forum weren't born in 1992, let alone 1982! Edited August 25, 2009 by MikeDonovan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one here who hasn't seen that movie, doesn't care to therefor doesn't care to meet the actors - at least because of that movie? I agree 100% I've seen the movie and didn't like it one bit (don't attack me for saying that please). I mean, shiney vampires? Come on! I couldn't care less about Twilight myself...but I do respect that other people do and everyone needs to be catered for at these events. I mean, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and others aren't. That's my thing along with Buffy/Angel/Charmed etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
