The Kings of Summer

I saw there was a small premiere for The Kings of Summer happening in Hollywood this week so I checked out the trailer and the movie looks pretty good.  So I decided I should go to the premiere and get some autographs, that way when I end up seeing the movie if I really like it I will already have some cast autographs.  Check out the preview and you'll see why I was excited for the film:

Well I am happy to report the cast was all really nice.  I worked on some poster shots and got all three of the leads on them.  And also got a few other nice autographs.

The first person to sign was Gabriel Basso, he was really nice just like he was back at the Super 8 premiere.  He signed a ton and I added him to a Super 8 cast shot I started at the Blu Ray release party, and got him on all my Kings of Summer cast shots.

 I just need Joel Courtney and this should be finished.

Next was Nick Robinson and just like Gabriel he was really cool and came right over to sign.  He even came back over to the fans after the movie to see if he had missed anybody.  All I had were my four cast shots and I he signed them all in a row.

Kelsey Chow showed up the premiere and I remembered I had three 8x10s in my car from a previous event.  I ran and got them and she signed them for me.

At this point it was all about Moises Arias.  I needed him to complete my cast trio shots.  I saw him come out and we called him over.  He didn't sign for very long but luckily he came right to me so I was able to get some of the first autographs he signed.  I managed to complete my four trio cast shots.

 Here's my finished 12x18, 11x14, and two 8x10s with the three leads on them.  I decided to keep it to just the three kids since they were the only ones pictured on the poster image.

After the movie I saw Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally were just hanging out talking in the lobby of the theatre so I waited another 20 minutes and they came out together.  I put Nick on my Parks and Recreation cast 11x14 (it now has Amy Poehler, Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, and Nick on it).  I just recently got into Parks and Rec and Ron Swanson is the best character on the show by far.

And I got Megan on two new Will and Grace four person shots, so I we shall see how many years long of a project it is to complete these.

Chris Pine Up Close and Personal

Chris Pine was out doing some more press for Star Trek Into Darkness last week and I went to get a few more of my items signed that didn't get done at the premiere.  Chris came right over and signed and when I looked at my camera after he left and reviewed my pictures I saw I had some ridiculously close pictures of Chris' face.  So without further adieu . . . here are some the closest Chris Pine face shots you will ever see:

 These next three are the close ones.

Now You See Me: Mark Ruffalo & Isla Fisher & Christian Serratos

There was a small screening for Now You See Me this week in Hollywood and I popped in because I haven't seen Mark Ruffalo since Avengers and he didn't sign much at that premiere.  Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, and Mark were all supposed to come.  No surprise Jesse did not sign.  He rarely does.  He doesn't like crowds, and just seems really flustered when fans approach him.   So despite the fact that he doesn't ever sign autographs, he's still cool in my book (he seems to have a true fear of crowds). 

But Christian Serratos showed up and she signed.  She is usually pretty nice and comes right over to sign when you call her.  Of the Twilight cast she is easily one the best signers.  I had three 11x14s and one 8x10 and I got them all signed. 

Next Isla Fisher came right over and OH MY GOODNESS did this woman throw it down.  She just signed, and signed, and signed, and signed some more.  I haven't seen her sign this much before at any event or premiere.  It was pretty impressive.  She pretty much signed every photo that was there.  I had five 11x14s along and got them all done quickly and then just stood around watching her sign for another two or three minutes. 

Mark Ruffalo came over next.  He didn't throw it down quite like Isla did, but he still signed a lot. I managed to get three and my buddy next to me got me one.  So I was pretty happy walking away with four 11x14s. 

Al Pacino : Photos & Autographs

Al Pacino.  Legend.  I was lucky enough to get Al Pacino again recently and as seems to always be the case for Al: it was crazy.  Graphers and paparazzi beating the crap out of each other for an autograph or a good picture.  But to Al's credit he takes it all in stride and is still one of the best signers in Hollywood.  No matter how crazy it gets he handles it all in stride.  Al signed three 11x14s for me this time and I was most excited to complete the Godfather combo with James Caan.
