FANBOY FAIL! Getting The Shaft From Total Recall Star Jessica Biel Even Though It Wasn’t Her Fault! Grumble!
Oh… Some days… There are days when it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed… Let alone brave the Los Angeles traffic to try and fanboy. Still, I try and try. Today, I’m heading out for Total Recall star Jessica Biel. I’m not a giant fan of Jessica’s I freely admit that, but I’ve liked her in The Rules of Attraction and I am so jazzed for Total Recall I can’t even tell you. Two of my favs Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale together, in an action movie where Kate is all evil badass I’m there.
So, since I was fortunate enough to get Kate to sign my Total Recall poster earlier, I figured this was a good way to really get a jump on getting the full cast. Sigh… Needless to say… Fanboy Fail!
7:03 p.m. – I just arrived. I’m not too far back in line because honestly there are not that many people here. Maybe 30-ish?
7:14 p.m. – I just saw Billy Beer he came over to say hi. He’s in the front. The bad thing about today is that there are a lot of photographers here, and honestly most of them, and not all, are kind of jerks. They won’t move, won’t let anyone else get in and just bad. Again, I know some cool photographers, so I say some but I just don’t have a good feeling.
7:19 p.m. – Billy said that Jessica dropped at the door and didn’t look over or wave. Great.
7:23 p.m. – I just saw MTF reader Russell who is in town on vacation. He just met Colin Farrell which I’m a tad jealous of. LOL… I love Colin!
7:31 p.m. – It’s a nice night, and even though everyone is scattered about it’s pretty civil… Right now. I mean if anything happens these guys will stab you, stab their mother’s, stab their mother with a woodland creature’s bones to get an autograph. It’s sad but true. lol… I try and keep a level head, but there are times when I’ve at least reached the level where I want to stab someone… lol…
7:34 p.m. – Sad but true… lol…
7:45 p.m. – A few more people have arrived… Still there’s only like 40 people or so… We are all lined up, so I’m hoping that this will be successful… Sigh…
7:53 p.m. – Oh, here we go… Everyone who was scattered about are trying to get into line, and sadly there is a line of photographers right in the middle of our line blocking the way… Sigh…
7:54 p.m. – Holy crap on a cracker! Jessica Biel is coming over to sign for people. I’m a tad shocked. She is going down the line. From what I can tell she is signing one each…
7:55 p.m. – She’s moving fast but security didn’t secure the barricade so people are strewn about haphazardly.

This one guy is trying to get people in line but he’s not being very aggressive and only a few of the photographers have moved.
Ugh… It’s ridiculous… Jessica gets about four people away and says, “okay guys bye!” I’m like no! She missed half of the line! Dammit! And then she popped into her car and headed out!
FANBOY FAIL!
And honestly, I get it, If everyone was in a line I think she would have signed for everyone but fuckin’ A no one would listen so half the people got screwed. Security acted like this was the first time they saw a celebrity sign an autograph and the photographers once again didn’t give a shit about the rest of us. Grumble…
I really wish I could blame Jessica Biel but I can’t… I really wish I could. Giving a focal point to my anger is always a good thing, but I just can’t blame her… Sigh…. Ah well…
There will always be another time!
Until next time kids…

I agree about the photogs. I have almost gotten into altercations because of papparazzi refuaong to move and blocking autograph collectors. In some cases I have had stuff slapped by them “because my stuff was in their way” even though I had waited twice as long. But it sucks when people dont listen and remain calm. Those people ruin it dor everyone and make autograph collecting too much of a hassle
This is why, unless its a HUGE name, I just won’t mess with this fiasco called Kimmel. It was like this, BUT not as wrose, for a much rarer name…Frank Oz, who was at another event that night. The guy hardley is ever in town and the last time I saw him was at the premiere of The Stepford Wives remake years ago. So of course I had to bypass Biel for this much bigger name. This guy is iconic! Hello! Yoda, Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear? You can’t get much iconic than that. It seemed I made the right choice. I’ll take 5 Frank Oz’s over 1 Jessica Biel anytime! At least you’ll see Biel our every once in a while. You can’t say that for Frank Oz.
Wow John, as usual you are more cool than anyone else. I don’t remember this post being about Frank Oz. I am amazed that Frank Oz signed 5 things for you in the same kind of situation (“but not as ‘wrose”). Please STOP commenting.
