signed by

• Brother Ray (also wrestled under the name Bubba Ray Dudley)

Superbad

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.

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

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

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

Ron Silver - Mr. Saturday Night signed 10x8

Ron Silver in his role from Mr. Saturday Night.

Other work includes Reversal of Fortune, Timecop, Ali and the television series Veronica's Closet.

Ron Silver passed away in 2009.

Jonathan Pryce - Brazil

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

• Erin Daniels (Dana)

• Katherine Moenning (Shane)

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

So...

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

Guy Ritchie - Snatch signed video cover

Tony Robinson - Blackadder the Third

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

Dave Spikey - Living the Dream Live signed DVD cover

This ended up being a bargain costing a total of £1.29 including the DVD (which I didn't previously own).

Deadly Game

Deadly Game - Belgian poster

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

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.

Quentin Tarantino

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

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.

Michael Moore - Fahrenheit 9/11

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...
