2013 The Year In Review! The Favorite Moments! The Most Surprising Encounters! The MTF Family Tells All!
It’s the end of 2013!
So, while we will have out top ten lists later on, it’s always fun to look back and reflect of what happened, what was our favorite moments, etc… Personally, I love it because it reminds me of everything that happens in a year, and let me tell you… we all have sort attention spans. For me, looking bad helps set up the next year.
I’m going to stop babbling and I invite you to enjoy the Mike The Fanboy look back at 2013. All the MTF Family (Well… The ones who filled out their surveys!) have done a great look back for us.
Check it out after the jump!

What’s your favorite celebrity encounter this year?
_____________________________________________________________________________
Ace – Al Pacino was incredible… He has this incredible, legendary presence. He might just scribble on your photos, but the fact that he would take the time to do it makes this fanboy immensely happy. Sadly, they don’t make actors like this anymore… Plus, George Romero… brilliant. I grew up admiring the zombie craze. When I met him, it was a sit-down signing and it was nice. He asked me why people ask for autographs in certain colors and we basically talked about pens for a few minutes.
Erica – In terms of people I’ve never met, the Orphan Black cast was phenomenally nice and so excited to meet fans that they totally made my Comic Con this year. Perhaps the funniest encounter was seeing Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actors Brett Dalton and Ming-Na Wen react to a friends request regarding a “Heart on” However, I will also remember (to my dying day!) having Joss Whedon say “nice” after I made a quick quip. Coming from this master of the quip, I felt like I just got a PhD!
Jack – Meeting most of the cast for “True Blood.” It was my first Hollywood premiere and I met most of the people I wanted to get sans Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Other than that I met the entire cast (except for Ryan Kwanten) and got a really awesome poster signed. The “True Blood” cast definitely goes above and beyond with fans.
(Editor’s Note: The most awesome encounter ever! I’m so happy that MTF could be a little part of it! 🙂 M-)
Scotty – Meeting Jodie Foster one on one this year was the major highlight for me.

What celebrity surprised you the most (in a good way)?

Ace – Weird Al… For some reason I thought he wasn’t gunna be friendly. He was SO nice. My brother and I shared our silly story and he actually listened. Most celebrities try to care but Weird Al was different… He was genuine.
Jack – Anna Paquin and Robert Downey Jr., both who went above and beyond at a talk show taping earlier this year. Not only did she graciously sign a few magazines for me, but took an awesome photo with me. She seriously loved interacting with the fans and is a complete class act! I never thought in a million years I would meet her and for to be so cool was unreal. RDJ showed up for a talk show and most people had doubts, but probably thanks to an amazing opening for Iron Man 3 he signed his life away. I managed to walk away with two great autographs and still can’t believe I met “Iron Man.”
Jim – Jerry Seinfeld, after reading two negative reviews from folks trying to get his Seinfeld co-creator, Larry David, I thought he’d be tough. He couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating.
We have a lot more of our year end recap, including our most bumbling moments, best and worst signers, and tons more!
