2 PPs today: one is worth posting, though...

Hi Folks,

Today 2 SASEs arrived to me and at first excited, upon looking for postmarks I was quickly depressed. Both were postmarked SANTA CLARITA so nothing good to expect, although sometimes it happens to be not so bad.

1st - from the look it was something cool (as address was written in RED - I usually mark that big names). I opened it up and there was a 3 my pictures of Michael Douglas UNSIGNED along with crappy SFM PREPRINT.
What bugged me that I sent a letter to a film set (KING OF CALIFORNIA) and I was sure it should have been a hit. Especially since Michael did signed last year for many people (I was so skeptical so I missed that opportunity even know I had all details upfront).
And now - such a crappy (I can't find another word) preprint. Especially since I already have same. That's such a big misfortune that even don't worth posting scan of.


2nd - Came not in my SASE (but with my address), but also with the dreaded SANTA CLARITA postmark. I already had a bad feeling about it. Well. Sometimes it's not that bad.
Even though it's what I can consider failure, but it's still a good reply. (tell you later why).
I opened up the envelope and find inside:

JOHNNY DEPP!!!

10x8

COLOR

GORGEOUS

....... PP or Autopen (in silver)

I must admit the photo is extremely gorgeous and extremely good quality I am surprized. Never seen such before.
But in any case it's a PP. Emulating silver signature Johnny Depp's PP. I seen such before. Just never seen such cool photo.

I have to say that I have sent about 15 requests to Johnny Depp this year alone (letters, emails, faxes) so I don't even know which one has worked out. Plus I sent may be 10 last year. Partly I am actually happy with that success, as after loosing my AUTHENTIC Johnny Depp autograph from 5 years ago, I tried lot's of times and despite people getting at least PPs and AUTOPENS from different PIRATES addys etc I didn't get a shit. So this time I got at least a PrePrint.

Well, in any case I would say that it's not such crappy failure as Michael Douglas as I didn't paid the postage and the quality of PP is one of the best I ever seen. Besides I can touch up the photo, remove the signature and print my own pictures.

Still pretty ironic. I will continue the quest for Johnny Depp until I get the real one.

Cheers,

Leon

The real Smitty - Sean Pertwee

Another today...
Sean Pertwee - actor:

"EVENT HORIZON", "SHOPPING", "SOLDIER", "DOG SOLDIERS", British TV series "BODYGUARDS"....

This is my 3rd reply from Sean. He is cool as always and seems he now recognizes me. The previous reply he also wrote a small letter thanking me for sending him a collage too (he wrote that his wife loved it).It's nice to see a bit of such attitude from stars like him. I really consider himself as cool person.

I sent him a Birthday card (his birthday is June 4) and request. He signed 3 of my pictures and one additional picture to my friend Tom, who as I said sometime earlier is another extreme Event Horizon fan. Sean also wrote a handwriten page letter which you can see.

The address I used was ICM/London:
Mr. Sean Pertwee, c/o I C M, Oxford House, 76 Oxford Street, London W1D 1BS, England


Cool to see he is involved in new sci-fi project.

This adds a bit of stuff to my EVENT HORIZON collection. Althought I had his pictures before but this time I was able to make REALLY great pictures of his "Smith" character and I just really wanted to get them signed.

That's it.

Cheers,

Leon

Agent K is back - Tommy Lee Jones success

Hi Folks,

This is success from a legendary actor Tommy Lee Jones, now turned a director.

I received 2 pictures from him signed and dedicated.
One is Men In Black.
Second is his last film "3 Burials...."

From what I can look this is authentic.

Took 23 days.

The request I sent to his New Mexico address of "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN", which I believe is still filming in Santa Fe. However it won't be for long.

This is really great success from a legendary and well respected actor!

I didn't have the UK stamp at that moment so I enclosed 2 US dollars which he kept and paid for postage. Fine with me.

Really great person.
