We're all a bunch of greasy losers with nothing to say and a steady stream of drool. You got my number. Such insight. Such wisdom. I'll be sure and take your advice the next time I decide to shell out $15 for some hack actor's autograph. Asshole. Yeah, that must be it.

Take a shower, chew a tic tac and think of something to say that your idol hasn't had to answer or feign gratitude of several hundred times before.

It's a shame that some people are just so full of themselves. The guy reccently was pretty hostile to the angry video game nerd too in a video he posted on his site.

He was very cold and didn't seem to be interested in talking to me at all. Not cool. Contrast that to Tom Sullivan who did the special effects for Evil Dead. Tom absolutely loved chatting with everyone about anything and everything and especially his experience on the evil dead films. My friend and I talked with him nearly a half hour. Great warm friendly guy who enjoys the fans and loves horror movies. Retroman DC www.dchighway.com I met Tom Savini at the ComicCon in Novi.

Just a small coming-of-age horror novel I wrote a few years ago. Nothing major. When I'm not reviewing movies no one watches, I can be found writing stories no one reads.

He did a talking show at the Universtiy of New Hampshire, showed up extremely late and then spent a half hour casually reading the local ordinances of the town of Durham, NH before he leapt into a vitriolic rant about the quality of movies these days. He went on and about how many remakes and sequels were being released that year before he did some Q&A from the audience where he bitterly fielded questions from the audience. My question about him being in the last Phantasm movie was replied with "Sit down." There's more to it than that, but some of these guys need to get a grip. I've been to a bunch of cons and, for the most, part, the guests a great! Bill Moseley, Betsy Palmer, Jeffrey Combs and Reggie Bannister know how to play the game. It's these guys who haven't acted much since their hey day that are a bunch of dicks. Howard Sherman took my money ($20!), silently signed my Day of the Dead and then tossed it back without a word. Nice to see you in that Aflac spot, Howard. Michael Berryman couldn't have possibly been any more bored when I met him. You could tell Adrienne Barbeau would have preferred to be anywhere but the con when I met her. It's such a bummer when these people turn out to suck, but the ones who know how to interact with fans make it all worth it. Betsy Palmer stands as the greatest con ecnounter I've ever had. She reminded me of my grandmother and couldn't be any nicer. She had us there talking for, like, twenty minutes. It still makes me smile when I think about it.
