jediwarrior Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I saw he had a open queue on Saturday around 4.30pm so decided to get a Dredd photo done. Told him I was really looking forward to the film he said it was great fun to work on and then he wrote Judgement Time on my photo as well. Also told him he was excellent in Star Trek and got to shake his hand as well. Really nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charmer Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 He may have not been personalising when I got to the queue around 1:30ish, but when he was about to sign my Dredd teaser poster pic he asked me what I thought of this, I said I was looking forward to seeing it, so he wrote 'Judgement Time' with his signature. So its what you make of it really, you may get it personalised and if you're lucky like me you may get a quote especially if its his new baby Dredd. He put that on mine too. I think he may have been putting it on all of the Dredd poster pics. Cool none the less, was nice to get a quote too, lovely guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvie Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I had the distinct pleasure of being Karl's guest assistant on Saturday and I can clear up the blue sharpie and the personalisations questions... I was told by his people that he refuses to sign in blue pen because he's aware that there is a great deal of fake autographs out there and most of them are in blue. If he doesn't use blue then people will know that a blue auto on sale stands a higher-than-average chance of being fake. It's in your favour, really. Should you ever come to sell that auto on, savvy buyers won't assume it's fake. Personalisations. Well, Karl was a law unto himself. He IS the law, after all. Personalisations were stopped on Saturday at around 11.30 when it became obvious that he wasn't going to have the time to see everyone and the crew saw how busy the event was getting. However, Karl preferred to personalise and understood that there were a lot of people waiting to meet him, so he made sure to say a little something to everyone who came through and those who stood out or made an effort to ask questions, etc, were asked for names so he could write them on their items. The signs and crew all did their job by telling you, quite correctly, that personalisations were not allowed but Karl wasn't sticking to the rules and some people were luckier than others. I can honestly say that he was one of the nicest and friendlient guests I have worked with in almost 8 years of crewing. He's a genuinely nice guy and really enjoyed meeting the fans - he even felt guilty for leaving people waiting while he went to the little boy's room, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediwarrior Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I would say if he came back for another event, I would get a photo done with him as I thought he was really nice when I meet him on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kel Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I was working his cash and totally agree with Yvie. All the crew, quite rightly, advised of the rules as we were told them. Karl was lovely (although I pretty much only saw him through the queue!) and hopefully everyone had a great experience with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar6662 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) I had the distinct pleasure of being Karl's guest assistant on Saturday and I can clear up the blue sharpie and the personalisations questions... And if I'm right, you were on his cash desk on Sunday? had a chat with you about Lea Thompson (because of my name - I'm not a duck ) and Elijah Wood at CM4 etc. I was told by his people that he refuses to sign in blue pen because he's aware that there is a great deal of fake autographs out there and most of them are in blue. If he doesn't use blue then people will know that a blue auto on sale stands a higher-than-average chance of being fake. It's in your favour, really. Should you ever come to sell that auto on, savvy buyers won't assume it's fake. That's really interesting. Maybe if there had been the time to explain that person wouldn't have felt so bad about it. I can honestly say that he was one of the nicest and friendlient guests I have worked with in almost 8 years of crewing. He's a genuinely nice guy and really enjoyed meeting the fans - he even felt guilty for leaving people waiting while he went to the little boy's room, lol. I was pursuaded to meet him by a friend on Sunday as I wasn't originally going to and I expected a bit of a Hollywood ego to be honest, being rushed etc but he totally won me over. Very welcoming, great handshake, personalising and gave me a great answer to the things I asked him. Should have asked for the character name under his sig as he did on my friends poster but that's a minor thing. Very impressed.

Pompey87 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm disappointed I didn't meet him, now. I had a ticket at just below 300 and had seen the signs go from "no posed photos" to "no photos" and "personalisations only, no quotes" to "no personalisations" and assumed it had gone to the familiar conveyor belt signing system that popular guests sometimes get into so I didn't think it was worth the £35 if I wasn't going to get anything more than a signature and maybe a brief acknowledgement. Had these people been viewable and not secreted away behind barriers, then I may have been able to see that he was in fact chatting with people and I would have happily gone up, regardless of personalisations. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piltorp75 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Shiiit! I thought no-one got personalisations (SAT), But he signed my poster with I AM THE LAW which took 1 extra minute so I´m happy any way But my friend skipped him due to the no personalisation!

Zagreus Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 He's a New Zealander. In my experience they have, without exception, always been that awesome at signing shows. Them and Australians are the most humble, down to earth folk ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remember your name forever and a day, but I've probably already forgotten your face so you'll need to remind me next time, lol. I'm glad you had a good time.
