It came as a surprise in my email, and I like good surprises. So it took me by surprise when I read the news that Official Pix is preparing for another autograph signing with the one and only Gene Hackman! This is the fifth signing that Official Pix has done with Mr. Hackman, and for…

When I previously wrote about the many different movie posters that appeared in Superman II, it certainly looked like I had titled that blog “The Posters of Superman II”, the play on words being the word of instead of in.
