Going to conventions to meet celebrities is top tier faggotry.

You don't want a picture with Bob Haskins???

Fawk, I meant Dennis

Paying money so your betters will stand next to you for 5 seconds or smile and nod while you gush about how much Fast Times at Ridgemont High meant to your now dead dad, only to be forgotten when the next paying customer waddles up to shakily express their love for the guy who played Rat, is the most pathetic, consumer cuck, serfdom shit ever.

Only autographed thing I have is a copy of The Disaster Artist I got from Greg Sesstero at a screening of The Room he did a Q&A at and only got it signed because he offered to. He was a real ass dude.

I don't get these people who waste time going to conventions so they can pay hundreds to meet celebrities and get a quick picture. Nothing say they fucking hate you like charging $100 so they will acknowledge your existence for a couple of seconds.

The whole celebrity signing convention thing is interesting - you’re seeing more and more well known major actors that are no longer the box office draw they once were doing these. You’ve got guys like John Travolta, Mel Gibson, Richard Dreyfus, Sly Stallone, etc now on the circuit but at the same convention as guys like the soup Nazi, butch Patrick, and Lou Ferrigno. There’s a great documentary that could be made (or Christopher guest type mockumentary) about these autograph conventions - from the wide range of stars doing them (A list to Z list) to the people paying large amounts of money to meet them.

You know these shows have to deal with ego / demands of these stars (even if they’re washed up) as well as the stars dealing with each other in the backstage holding areas of these cons. Also you know there’s gotta be some washed up guys upset someone is there that can charge more / have a large line while they sit there like lonely Virgil.

I remember Howard Stern had Richard Christy and Benji go to the Chiller con in north jersey and interview the really low list guys (some were on like one episode of Star Trek, etc) and of course they all bitched about how they don’t charge high prices like William Shatner and all hated that Shatner does these and makes a ton of money while these guys usually lose money.

How many cartoon voices have you met.

How many have you jacked off to

 

[Racist Google Intern]

I would pay to get a game dev to sign one of the games they made, but sadly only the voice actors of videogames do that shit.
Fuck getting a photo done, there isn't one celeb photo that doesn't look awkward.

Do you remember how many breads you have eaten in your life?

One day you'll get the Randy Bitchford signed copy of the Borderlands movie you always wanted.

What people? Like, people who have disposable income and can afford to throw away $1,000 at a horror con?

Have you ever experienced joy in your life? What side of your brain do I live in by the way the left or right hemisphere? You talk about me ALOT unprovoked. You OK up there, homey?

 

[Uncle Floyd]

Why? It was a fun part of your life that you got to participate in at one point. Enjoy it for what it was. I fist-bumped Vos before a show and got roasted by Norton in the Cellar this year. Memories I will have forever

The show was great. Posing like a dork like I was standing among legends wasn't.

For reference @Cuphead , @DominusOdium , I give you... Danny Ross. IN THIS THREAD!

Sometimes I think it's also just the neediness that keeps them going. Mick Jagger is financially astute - he studied at the LSE and tactically shafted Jerry Hall out of a big divorce settlement before they even got married; as well as having a shitload of money diversified over several properties and god knows how many high-yield investment funds. But he won't stop touring until he can't anymore because he loves the audience adulation. Most of these people are basically just attention whores when you boil it down.

I think they sold their souls- if they stop, they die or bad shit starts to happen to them. They cannot really ever enjoy their good fortune.

As a kid it was a dream of mine to go to SDCC. This was when the big name guests were people like Robert Englund, I just wanted to go see all the actual comic shit they had there. Now it's catering pretty much exclusively to normies and the biggest stars on the planet go there to pimp their shit and I've lost all interest in going.

Randy Bitchford

Maybe you’re alright

I worked on a project that involved George Clooney years ago, and at the end he agreed to take 30 secs out of his schedule for a group shot with the team. I declined to be in the photo because it felt so pathetic.

Now I kind of wish I had the photo but you gotta have standards
