I watched the movie on Thanksgiving, and really enjoyed it, especially the performance of the young lead, Joel Courtney. He's very natural, and doesn't seem to be acting. Anyway, I tweeted to him and he very kindly tweeted back! This led me to checking out his website, where he offers an address for you to write to to get a signed pic or your Super 8 DVD cover signed. And I just so happen to collect autographs from actors I enjoy!
So, I wrote him a letter, and not only did I get back an autograph, but he tweeted me again thanking me for the letter and asked what kind of music I teach, and followed me back!
I've only been collecting for a year, but I'm sure it's not often that you get this kind of interaction with a movie actor. Yes, he's pretty young, but I think at that age you probably appreciate your fans more...and he's terrific to his fans. And years down the road, when I predict he will be a very recognizable and skilled actor, it will be exciting to think back to this brief interaction with him.
Anyway, thanks for putting up with my long story! Here are the details you're more interested in:

As his personal website states, he'll be traveling after Christmas and won't be signing, so if you're interested, send now! He's a great kid who likely has a bright future as an actor!
