Hey kids, I just got this report in from Chuck Our Man In Texas! We haven’t heard from Chuck in a while and I’m glad he took the time to write in! Awesome Bro!
So Chuck, like Ms. Pretty in Pinky is a Sundance Film Festival fan and met one of the hardest celebs to… Well… Get anything from, lol… Ms. Elizabeth Banks. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of Elizabeth’s but you know… I find it odd that she’s so mean to her fanbase.
Still Chuck did have a moderately pleasant encounter with her, which is honestly one of the very few that I have heard of.
Check out his report after the jump!

I know it has been awhile since you guys have heard from me, but I wanted to post my success I had with Elizabeth Banks. I understand she has a bad reputation among collectors, and I knew this when I tried to meet her at Sundance in Park City, Utah in 2011. However, I had to try because I needed to get her on my Zack and Miri dvd cover.
So I was out and about in Park City, when I got a call telling me she was doing an interview and the location. I high tailed it over there and sure enough, after waiting about 20 minutes, she came out with another woman. She started walking down the sidewalk, and I asked her very nicely to sign. She tried to ignore me, but finally stopped for a brief minute, long enough to sign my dvd cover, and a card for a friend who was there too.
She started walking down the sidewalk again, and I followed her for a bit and put my stuff away. I got beside her again, and asked her for a photo op. She ignored me and kept walking. I kept the pace with her, and as she was crossing the street I asked her again. She told me I could take a picture of her walking, in a smart @$$ way. So I told her…You can stop walking and let me do this! I think she was actually shocked some one had the audacity to call her out on her rude behavior. She stopped and looked and me and smiled, and I leaned in for a really nice self blast. I thanked her, and she said your welcome and continued on her way.
I heard later she only signed for 4 more people the rest of the time she was there, and as far as I know, I am the only one who got a signature and a picture.
Enjoy.
Chuck

Either I must have the darnest of luck or these “attack” stories are fabricated! LOL!
Though I haven’t seen Banks in a while, she was a sweetheart during the filming of Seabuscuit and junket for. I volunteered as an extra for Seasbuscuit and ahe was very accesable for an autograph or a photo opp (unfortunately my opp was taken with a “film” camera. So I would need to scan it before I can post it). Most recently she attend the last Breeders Cup when it was Santa Anita. Again, there was easy access to her. OK she may be tough BUT there is the rare instance where she can be nice. Maybe because there wasn’t a huge crowd of people around aka dealers?
