"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" had been blessed with the best Laserdisc releases out there. Each edition is highly collectible, with either phenomenal content or extremely good and unique design. Even the "straight forward" releases (meaning, no box set, no slipcase etc) were interesting and visually inviting: the cover to 1993's Special Edition Laserdisc is very eye popping and for the first time features all three main characters of the film (as well as the villain looking in the background) which makes for a very striking image. The image was actually composed of different promotional solo shots.
I managed to get this one signed by Eddie Furlong few years back (a bit on it in this blog as well). When I've heard that Linda Hamilton is coming back to New Jersey I had to get her signature for it. I have met Linda before back in March of 2007, and she was not only very talkative, but also extremely down to Earth. And while my time with her was more brief this time, she was extremely welcoming and friendly. Her line was the longest and curved into hallways of another section of the venue with no end in sight. She was the only one with a separate line like this.
Eddie is always great, and it's like talking to your good pal. It's surreal to be talking to Eddie Furlong like with a coworker, being a lifelong fan. In a funny way it's even surreal to see the guy being a real person! I saw the guy in movies only, as a character in video games and as action figures.
Michael Biehn was fantastic as well. he got so engaged in a conversation with me and my wife that he stepped out of his table and continued the conversation with us there. We talked about his future projects, work on The Abyss and Tombstone, Ed Harris and couple of his upcoming interviews.
