Mark Donovan - Shaun of the Dead

2010-07-01T20:01:00.002+01:00

Mark Donovan - Shaun of the Dead signed DVD

Mark Donovan plays the large zombie included in the memorable vinyl throwing scene, I am thinking of turning the cover to this DVD into potentially a zombie assortment (for those actors whose primary appearance in the movie is that of a zombie), what do you all (fictional people) think?

Mark Donovan

2010-07-01T19:59:00.001+01:00

Mark Donovan - signed 4x6

I contacted Mark Donovan via email and asked for an address and if it was okay to send a couple of DVD covers to get signed by him and he was kind enough to include a signed photo with the DVD covers when he returned them to me.

Dean Windass - Hull City

2010-06-13T12:40:00.006+01:00

Dean Windass - Hull City signed 6x8

6 x 8 which I had previously got printed off myself with the original idea of sending it to him to get signed, but then I thought why not dig it up and actually take it to him to get signed.

Cannonball Run 2

2010-04-08T18:10:00.002+01:00

Cannonball Run 2 - French Poster

The Cannonball Run films of the early 80s where among my favourite films growing up and still hold such a special place in my heart. Currently sitting framed above my computer screen. This French release poster is subtle in how it presents its stars compared to all the other Cannonball Run 2 posters I have ever seen.

Hopefully this is the start of a Cannonball Run collection.

Innerspace

2010-04-08T18:09:00.001+01:00

Innerspace - French Poster

Joe Dante is among the most underrated directors in my opinion. Gremlins and Innerspace are rightfully beloved but you can't forget movies like The 'Burbs and Matinee.

Megaforce

2010-04-08T18:08:00.001+01:00

Megaforce - French Poster

Megaforce is one of those great movies that could have only been made in the 80s.

Amazing Stories

2010-04-08T18:06:00.001+01:00

Amazing Stories - French Poster

French film poster for the cinema release of the cool American anthology series that was produced by Steven Spielberg which by the looks of it collects three episodes from the show.

Matinee

2010-03-15T14:58:00.002Z

Matinee - Japanese poster

Matinee is one of them films I love that really doesn't get any attention. The film's director Joe Dante is one of the most underrated directors about in my opinion.

A Fish Called Wanda

2010-03-15T14:54:00.002Z

A Fish Called Wanda - Japanese poster

A great Japanese poster for the wonderful movie A Fish Called Wanda.

Pointless fact - the second movie I watched on the Sky Channel called The Movie Channel (the first one been the first movie they ever showed Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade).

Debbie Reynolds - Rugrats

2010-01-17T16:22:00.011Z

Debbie Reynolds - Rugrats signed 10x8

Another Rugrats autograph for my collection. I actually never thought I'd be adding a Debbie Reynolds autograph to my collection, it just never occurred to me that I would come across one.

Rob Van Dam

2010-01-06T08:40:00.002Z

Rob Van Dam - signed 10x8

In one day, Rob Van Dam jumps up from zero to four autographs in my collection (all of them where got together from the same autograph dealer).

I should point out at the moment, the 4 autographs per personality seems to be a glass ceiling for me at the moment, Van Dam joins the likes of Michael Winslow, Rosario Dawson, Caroline Munro and Shaun Williamson who are all on 4 a piece, who will be the first person to go into the lead.

Rob Van Dam

2010-01-06T08:39:00.001Z

Rob Van Dam - signed 10x8

Another one of my signed Rob Van Dam photos.

Harvey Stephens - The Omen

2010-01-06T08:35:00.004Z

Harvey Stephens - The Omen signed 10x8

"Please, Daddy! No, Daddy, no!"

I think this is the better of the two signed Harvey Stephens The Omen pictures I own.

Josh Radnor - How I Met Your Mother

2009-12-15T23:57:00.011Z

Josh Radnor - How I Met Your Mother signed 10x8

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine

2009-12-07T23:11:00.003Z

Greg Valentine, is one of those wrestlers that was really great technically but will never top anybodies all time favourite lists.

2009-12-07T23:09:00.003Z

Lou Thesz - signed 10x8

A number of wrestling moves were credited to have been invented by him including the belly to back waistlock suplex (later known as the German Suplex), the Lou Thesz Press (later used by Steve Austin), STF and the original powerbomb.

He officially retired in 1979 and remained retired for the most part. He wrestled his last match on December 26th, 1990 at the age of 74 against Masahiro Chano.

Lou Thesz passed away in 2002.

Team 3-D - signed 10x8

signed by

Brother Ray (also wrestled under the name Bubba Ray Dudley)
Brother Devon (also wrestled under the name D-Von Dudley)

The photo is actually pretty crappy - looks like a bad ink job from a computer - but I didn't exactly break the bank to add this to my autograph collection, so I can't complain too much.

Jean Simmons

Shaun Williamson - Eastenders: 20 Years in Albert Square signed book

Shaun Williamson played Barry Evans for 10 years (94-04).

This book plans to be part of an ongoing project which will hopefully include the additions of more Eastenders autographs and my early plan is to turn it into some sort of interesting autograph scrapbook...

Shaun Williamson - The Official History of Sun Hill signed book

Shaun Williamson played gangster Dave Monks in two episodes of the Bill in 2008. The plan for this book is to add more actors linked to the Bill, it's what I am going to be considering a project book alongside the Eastenders one.

Superbad

2009-10-25T22:32:00.005Z

Superbad - signed 10x8

Signed by the two leads...

Michael Cera (Evan)
Jonah Hill (Seth)

Superbad is a very funny movie, produced by the ever impressive Judd Apatow - who helped give the world Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin and Anchorman among others - Superbad tells the story of two best friends over one night trying to get beer to take to a party they found themselves invited too, I think whilst films like Trojan War got their a lot earlier, none of the films in this similar vein managed to be as funny.

2009-10-25T22:28:00.004Z

Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode - signed index card

As well as getting both Mayo and Kermode on my ticket print out, I got them individually on an index card I'd brought with me, which both where very kind to sign without hesitation. Mayo I should point out constantly shared his popcorn out with the audience, which was a cool gesture (which reminds me I'm going to do a list of the nicest and worst celebrities I have ever met very soon).

Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode

2009-10-25T22:25:00.007Z

Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode - signed show ticket print out

Radio 5 came to Hull for Octoberfest in 2009, and I got tickets for one of the shows, Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode's show which was held on the 23rd of October at the VUE Cinema, I got a print out of the ticket I had to show and managed to get Mayo and Kermode, plus also all their special guests, this is everyone...

Simon Mayo
Mark Kermode
musician and composer Nitin Sawhney
comedian and singer Mitch Benn
Five Live's John Murray
former Olympic Bronze medal winning swimmer Steve Parry
former rugby league player Craig Murdoch - who played for both my local teams Hull FC and Hull KR, as well as Wigan
BBC Radio Humberside sports editor Dave Burns.

Just a cool memento, and it seemed like I'm the only person who can claim at the entire recording who get everybody involved in the on air side of things.

Jeffrey Tambor - Arrested Development

2009-10-22T11:14:00.003+01:00

Jeffrey Tambor - Arrested Development signed 10x8

I believe this is from Arrested Development, but I won't feel embarrassed if I am corrected on this.

Arrested Development (if it was from this) is one of the most sitcoms to come out of the USA in like forever.

Ron Silver - Mr. Saturday Night

2009-10-22T11:13:00.004+01:00

Ron Silver - Mr. Saturday Night signed 10x8

Ron Silver in his role from Mr. Saturday Night.

Ron Silver passed away in 2009.

Jonathan Pryce - Brazil

2009-10-22T11:11:00.003+01:00

Jonathan Pryce - Brazil signed 10x8

Brazil is a fantastic movie. Whilst 1984 is an amazing book, it's never got transferred to the screen quite so brilliantly. Brazil set in a similar world to 1984 is an amazing film.

Jonathan Pryce, who has rarely been a leading man - and his perhaps best known to most audiences as Keira Knightley's father in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies or as the baddie in Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies - shines here.

The L Word Season One

2009-10-17T22:18:00.008+01:00

Season One DVD set which as been signed by 5 of the main cast members from the show...

Erin Daniels (Dana)
Leisha Hailey (Alice)

An amazing item and there's room for hopefully more in the future (who knows?)

So...

2009-10-01T14:14:00.001+01:00

No new autographs recently, mean no new blog entries on Rob the Autograph Geek, it's the way it goes on here though, hopefully this will be sorted out this month and can actually add some items to my collection.

Guy Ritchie - Snatch

2009-09-01T15:58:00.000+01:00

Guy Ritchie - Snatch signed video cover

Tony Robinson - Blackadder the Third

2009-08-26T18:38:00.009+01:00

Tony Robinson - Blackadder the Third signed 6x4

"We do nothing... until our heads have actually been cut off."

Blackadder to me is one of the greatest shows of all time (even if I consider the first series patchy) and that is in thanks at least in some part to Tony Robinson as Baldrick.

Dave Spikey - Living the Dream

2009-08-12T20:04:00.002+01:00

Dave Spikey - Living the Dream Live signed DVD cover

Deadly Game - Belgian poster

Cotton Comes to Harlem/Pussycat, Pussycat, I Love You

2009-07-30T18:39:00.004+01:00

Cotton Comes to Harlem/Pussycat, Pussycat, I Love You - British quad poster

I love this poster, firstly because one of the movies is a Blaxploitation (Cottom Comes to Harlem) and the other half is a poster design that could only exist in the 70s.

Harvey Stephens - The Omen

2009-07-30T18:34:00.003+01:00

Harvey Stephens - The Omen signed 10x8

Quentin Tarantino

2009-07-14T21:36:00.006+01:00

Quentin Tarantino - signed 10x8

Writer of awesome and cool dialogue, a film geek favourite and a film geek himself. Despite a few missteps (his segment of Four Rooms, Death Proof), I'm still waiting in excitement for Tarantino's next film Inglorious Basterds

Little Britain: The Game

2009-07-02T16:29:00.008+01:00

Little Britain: The Game - signed DVD

The cover has been signed by...

Matt Lucas
David Walliams

If I am honest at times I've accused Little Britain of been a League of Gentlemen rip-off, and while I still believe that is true to a certain extent but there funny moments in their series and I do believe Lucas and Walliams are both gifted comedy performers.

Tom Baker and Anthony Head, who have both contributed to the series have done more then one convention in the U.K. so I guess their is room for additions to this DVD cover.

a Vicky Pollard sketch...

Michael Moore - Fahrenheit 9/11

2009-07-01T15:03:00.009+01:00

Michael Moore - signed Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD cover and disc

Michael Moore, arguably equally loved and hated by many, many people for his brash documentaries that regularly attack the government and big businesses.

I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 on release at originally cinema back in 2004, it feels like I was a bigger fan of his work back then (I even remember unsuccessfully bidding on his auto which would have ended up costing me way, way more then this did) but I still like his movies.

The disc has also been signed...

The Trailer...

Gary Oldman - Immortal Beloved

2009-07-01T15:02:00.007+01:00

Gary Oldman - Immortal Beloved signed CD

Less then a week ago I had no signed CDs in my collection now it's grown to two. Hopefully this a start of a collection of Gary Oldman autographs (the man was in Léon and True Romance among others).

The Trailer...

Every Which Way But Loose/Any Which Way You Can

2009-07-01T11:39:00.009+01:00

Every Which Way But Loose/Any Which Way You Can - British quad poster

I always like looking at double bill posters and always plan to get them. This is my first double bill poster in my collection. I'm always never sure how to date double bill posters - I have to assume it's 1980 or just after, because that was the year Any Which Way You Can was released.

The trailer for Every Which Way But Loose...

MAS*H - The Commemorative Plate

2009-06-29T12:23:00.003+01:00

M*A*S*H - boxed The Commermorative Plate

This plate is from 1983, which was the year M*A*S*H finished after 11 wonderful seasons.

A tribute to the classic finale "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" with some funky music!

Live Event Wrestling Poster

2009-06-28T20:45:00.003+01:00

Live Event Wrestling Poster - Wolverhampton

This one poster was actually included free with the other wrestling poster I own and it was a nice surprise to open the package and see a second poster in there!

The World of Sport intro from the heyday of British wrestling!

Live Event Wrestling Poster

2009-06-28T20:43:00.004+01:00

Live Event Wrestling Poster - Cleethorpes

I think I was drawn to his poster because of the fact it had "Cowboy" Bret Hart and The Dynamite Kid on the card.

Dynamite Kid and Giant Haystacks vs Bret and Keith Hart (features two people from the card at least!)this match is from Stampede Wrestling...

Beastmaster

2009-06-28T20:42:00.000+01:00

Beastmaster - Belgian poster

Deathsport

2009-06-28T20:41:00.002+01:00

Deathsport - Belgian poster

I did at one point have designs on that if David Carradine came back to the U.K. to do a convention that this would be the item I would get him to sign, but you know the story... Deathsport is considered something of a sequel to the awesome Death Race 2000.

Bad Guys

2009-06-28T20:40:00.001+01:00

Bad Guys - Belgian poster

I brought this poster not entirely sure what the movie was but I instantly recognized Sgt. Slaughter on there.
