not a DVD ...
I know when these guests come they get the same old shit shoved at them over and over again so when possible i always try to bring something unique.
They seem to appreciate it because they always comment on it.
For Carrie Fisher i knew that she tried to distance herself from star wars for a long time .. so i had the distinction of being the only person in the entire convention (there were 30,000 tickets sold) that didnt get her to sign anything from star wars. its the beta slip cover from Under the Rainbow .. a very funny movie she did with Chevy Chase.
She truely was suprised and chatted about it for a bit .. very cool.
for linda blair (who avoids the excorcist) i brought Repossessed on laserdisc.
for Roddy Piper i did bring They Live - but it was a japanese import laserdisc .. he said right out that he'd never seen one before.
for Robert Picardo ... i got him to sign a beta origional of Explorers .. which he chatted about as well (you give me a dead format to sign ?)
I think he thought it was cool that someone brough Explorers though.
i brought Invaders From Mars for Karen Black - but it was a DVD she hadnt seen before and it featured her son on the cover (the little boy in the movie is her son in real life) She wanted the DVD - i didnt think she was going to give it back :)
good advice if you get the chance to go to something like this ...
it becomes a bit of a conversation piece and it gets the guest talking about something they dont normally get a chance to discuss - and thats usually a far more entheusiastic and animated conversation.
like i said - i think they appreciate it ...and its not hard to understand why..
