hey BOPPERS,
just got let you all know the meet/greet i had with MICHAEL BECK and DEBERAH VANVOLKENBURG & IRVIN KEYES...
well, arrived at CROWNE PLAZA SECAUCUS NJ on SAT. (1/29/2006) early.
first up MR KEYES (BAD COP #1 ..cop who hits AJAX w/ night stick)..man, what a nice man! he was very proud of his moment in WARRIORS..i mentinoed to him , i always liked his reaction after he hits AJAX..and his eyes lite up and said "you always have to make the best of your scenes"
and he wanted the audience to see what he can do, with a small part like that..something that would stick in their minds, and his reaction after the fact, made it work.
KEYES signed my WARRIORS soundtrack LP...and was impressed with the old vinyl! he signed it along with "BAD COP #1" and i also confirmed with him the location of this scene....told me, shot in two nights it was 125th street and RIVERSIDE (north) w/exsisting bench...
MICHEAL BECK...no shit, looked just like he did when he did the WARRIORS except grey hair...same build, same hair style...
BECK signed my MEZCO ACTION FIGURE (on bubble)..first i asked him to go back into charactor for a brief moment, and have him write SWAN as if he would write it on a wall or something (graffitti style) then his signature below that..came out perfect! He also signed LP.
and so all should know...i asked him about location for final scene, as they walk off the beach...it was for sure JONES BEACH!! not CONEY!
DEBORAH VanVALENBURG...looked great!! same beautiful hair, shes pretty hot! and i think i did the classiest and one of a kind move...before the show, i went to a local florist and bought her a FIVE YELLOW ROSE CORSAGE (like the one dropped by the PROM COUPLE) first thing i do is hand her the corsage..she actually says (like the film) WHATS THIS FOR?..im like, "its for you, i hate seeing anything go to waste" she breaks out this big smile, and turns to BECK..."MICHEAL look he gave me a corsage, like the movie"...BECK (who knew about it ahead of time) was like "I know, i was in on it...didnt want anything go to waste" as the both laughed.
she really like that man, ....gave me a big smile and asked my name..."that was so sweet of you JOE!"... made my day.
so she signs my LP "from a really tough chick.." signature w/MERCY
sorry no pictures...but i did record all on my DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER...if possible, i can send the footage to THE WARRIORS MOVIE SITE here, on a DVD+RW disc...if you can download to the site, for all to see i will send this footage...let me know..
"NO REASON...I JUST LIKE DOING THINGS LIKE THAT"
PS...mentined to both SWAN and MERCY this site!!
