Malcolm McDowell Signing, January 12th

[LeHah]

A bit of a surprise notification landed in my lap today: actor Malcolm McDowell (best remembered on these boards as Tolwyn from Wing Commander 3, 4 and Academy TAS) will be signing photos and DVDs (Halloween, Halloween 2 and Time After Time) at Dark Delicacies in California this January 12th.

For those of us who can't make it to that side of the country, you can order a signed item from the store at the following link: http://darkdel.com/c52.htm

On January 12th at 6 p.m., Malcolm McDowell will be signing photos (he will sign additional items for $25, or one copy of a DVD purchased in-store for $10). If you are planning on attending this special signing, you must come to the store prior to the event and pick up a number for your place in line.

Time After Time on DVD, signed is $15
Signed photos are $25
Halloween on DVD signed is $20
Halloween 2 on DVD, signed is $30

No Wing Commander stuff available, CRAP!

Also a little strange that they don't have his more "obvious" fare like A Clockwork Orange or the Lindsay Anderson movies, but I guess that wouldn't bring people in as much as a horror movie signing.

Is the "he will sign additional items for $25" referring to any additional item? That's kind of what it sounds like.

 

[LeHah]

Thats my understanding, Chris. It seems to be kind of the going convention thing, isnt it? (I've never been to one, but the wording seems familiar to that scene)

 

[ChrisReid]

Yeah, that sounds right. $25 seems a little high, not unusually high, but higher than I'd expect for a single person like McDowell at a store. I want to say Tom Wilson was $10 per item at DragonCon years back.

To be honest, I've never heard of McDowell showing up for a signing event. That could be why this is a little more pricey.

My autographs came in the mail today! I waited an extra month to get the novelist/screenwriter of the movie to sign the DVD as well.

Unfortunately, this has gone way up in recent years--celebrities at conventions are starting to be more and more managed by central groups rather than just appearing out of their own willingness and it's raised prices a bunch.
