Can you believe this Super Fans?  We wanted AVP2 and now it is suppose to take place in some weird timezone on earth with none of the original cast including Lance Henrisken even those he was killed in the movie AVP.  I at least expected the character of Alex to re-appear.  I heard that actress Sanaa Lathan had signed a two picture deal during negotiations of the offer for AVP.  This is not worth the wait!!!!!!  What do you think?                  By Lafemmenikita07

 

 

About Sasquatch Mountain starring Lance Henriksen and Michael Worth
Mood:  bright
Topic: Unbelievable!!!!!!!!
Sasquatch Mountain is one of the best modern day versions of Bigfoot I have ever seen.  The irony of my vision for a good plot and what I wrote in the blog on July 12, 2006 is so close to Michael Worth's vision that it is scary.  People have told me that now that I have decided to stop suppressing my artistic side and letting it go that they saw, seen, and heard some amazing talented things come from me that they did not know I was capable of doing.  However, I just thought they were being nice until now.  Wow, I would really like to meet Michael Worth just to tell him about this whole thing. For any "doubting thomases" I will place my right hand on the bible that I knew nothing about the writer's vision for this movie.
Below is an excerpt from an earlier blog.  The ideas behind the story I wrote below compared to Michael Worth's vision are amazing.  In addition, it wasn't until the ending of the movie that I realized that the movie had similarities to what I would like to see in a Bigfoot movie if I was involved in the production.  Before the ending I was into the movie so much I did not think about what I had written in the blog in July 2006.  Besides I had moved on to keeping track of the other projects of Lance Henriksen's as part of the mission and vision of this blog and that is to document and share the lifetime achievements of Lance Henriksen while Lance is alive.  Too many tributes to people are done when a person has left this earth and/or has been diagnosed with some deathly disease.  Well, I prefer doing this while the person is alive to know it and believe it.  I am not stating that Lance Henriksen knows about or has read this blog.  Indirectly, I believe as I do my small part to assist fans in becoming more aware of Lance's achievements and support his projects by attending conventions to see him, buying or renting his DVDs, and all the praise the fans are sending his way out there then I know that just a little bit of what I do may reach Lance.
 
This way of thinking applies to everybody.  We all have something special about us no matter what "naysayers" have said and/or written about us.
 
Well, you are probably expecting a review of the movie now that I have seen it.  I am going to wait for some encore presentations of the movie so other fans may have a chance to see the movie without the knowledge of spoilers from me.  By Lafemmenikita07 9/9/2006
 

Box Office Blues
Mood:  d'oh
Topic: By the Fans From the Fans

This article by Scott Mantz has some good points about low turn out to the movies.  However, in my opinion, it is a lot of reasons the turnout is low that may not have  anything to do with whether a movie is good and/or the acting is great.  Based on the people I am around, the budgets are limited for entertainment and the movies have to compete with other forms of entertainment including money for vacations.  To illustrate I attended approximately 4 special exhibits showing within the last year and a half at the Los Angeles Musuem of Art (LAMA) this year such as: (1) The Phillips Collection, (2) King Tut, (3) Cezanne and Pissaro and (4) Van Gogh.  I enjoyed myself so much that I continue to be a member and I have not be disappointed with a show yet.

  "2005: Box Office Blues"

by Scott Mantz

Here’s a scary thought – the first decade of the new Millennium is now half over.

And wow, did 2005 fly by, or what?  It feels like just yesterday that I was looking back on 2004, when box office grosses were at an all-time high, thanks to surefire hits like “Spider-Man 2” and “Shrek 2” and trend-bucking flukes like “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “The Passion of the Christ.”

But as the saying goes, what a difference a year can make, as those in the movie business are now asking themselves, “where were those flukes when we needed them?”  That’s because despite top-grossers like “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “War of the Worlds,” there were no real flukes.

As a result, overall box office receipts for 2005 will total around $8.75 billion – that’s down 5% compared to last year’s record-breaking total of $9.2 billion.  When you factor in higher ticket prices, actual admissions were down by an even bigger margin – a whopping 11% to 1.32 billion compared to 1.48 billion last year.  And since 527 new films were released in 2005 compared to 507 in 2004, that means more films were released to less business.

So what happened?  Hollywood movies were just as good (or as bad) as they were every year, so why weren’t people flocking to the multiplexes to see them – especially now that most theaters are equipped with stadium seating and state-of-the-art technology?

In trying to answer those questions, industry pundits sure had a lot to write about.  And by the middle of the summer, when weekend box office tallies were down for 19 straight weeks compared to the same frames last year, everyone was doing just that.

And many of their conclusions were fairly justified, especially when it came to the fact that it’s just too damned expensive to go to the movies these days.  Tickets cost too much.  Food concessions cost even more.  And then there’s parking, which can be a chore in itself.  And even if you make it inside the theater, there’s always the chance that some pinhead forgot turn off his cell phone.

So why not stay at home?  It’s cheaper.  It’s more comfortable.  And if you wait long enough, that big movie you missed in theaters 3 months ago probably just came out on DVD anyway.  And you can always schedule watching that DVD around your other diversions – like checking your email, surfing the web, downloading music onto your iPod or playing videogames.

Of course, there’s the ultimate conclusion, and it’s one that the Hollywood studios could no longer ignore – that their movies just weren’t any good.  That would certainly explain why a number of high-profile wannabe blockbusters like “Stealth,” “The Island” and “XXX: State of the Union” tanked at the box office.  After all, no amount of studio marketing can save a bad movie, and in the end, moviegoers know a stinker when they see one.

Do these points make sense?  Certainly.  But is it too soon to over-react and throw in the towel on the moviegoing experience?  Absolutely.

While the downturn at the box office is definitely cause for concern, it’s too early to say whether or not it will get worse or if it’s all part of a cycle that will correct itself.  I suppose the only way to know for sure is to give it another year.  Who knows, the box office in 2006 could reach record highs, in which case everyone will forget that the problems of 2005 even existed.  And if that doesn’t happen, then the movie studios will know that they have a real problem on their hands.

But through all the doom and gloom at the box office, 2005 still ended up being a banner year for quality films – especially towards the end of the year.  So here now are my favorite movies of 2005…"

 

Super Fan of Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen Admits to Having A Lot of Catching Up

Topic: Foreplay!!!!!!

I am a Super Fan of Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen; however, I must admit I have not seen most of the movies Lance has been in.  I am sort of a late bloomer.  When Lance got his first break I was still in High School.  I probably was still watching the Brady Bunch or something.  Now, that I am more aware I am seeking out Lance's earlier works; however, they are hard to find.  In addition, some of the movies have not been placed on DVD such as "Profile for Murder".  I bought this movie used based on another Super Fan of Lances recommendation and I was not disappointed.  It is only in VHS.  I do not know why it has not been converted to DVD.  Maybe it has to do with something technical.  However, whoever has the rights to do this has made a big mistake.  As the young kids would say, "this movie is off the chain" and should be placed on a DVD.  I am not going to spoil it for anybody; however, if you are trying to get pregnant watch this movie for foreplay.  By Lafemmenikita07

The Amazing Director Guillermo Del Toro and Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen
Mood:  special
Topic: Unbelievable
Director Guillermo Del Toro and his relationship and rapport he has with his fans is unbelievable.  If I had not experienced it I would not believe it.  At the 2006 Fangoria Horror Convention in Burbank Bank California Director Guillermo Del Toro signed, took pictures and talked to each fan in an autograph line for approximately 4 and a half hours.  Now, the line kept moving and no fan stayed that long in line.  It was that it was so many fans. I had volunteered to work the autograph line and I stood there the entire time.  And he is the director not the actor; however, the realism of his talk with the audience on stage prior to autographing was remarkable. It was so real that you felt like you could leave with him and go get something to eat and drink.  He invited the audience to email me him any shorts and/or ideas and indicated that he will review them.  I believe him.  I was there and I tell you this man is the real thing.  I have not seen any other person in the business admired and loved like this in a platonic way other than Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen. Director Guillermo Del Toro indicated to the fans that if it was not for them he could not do what is does.   These two gentlemen must have gone to the same "charm" school for gentlemen. Director Guillermo Del Toro and Lance Henriksen attended Monster Mania May 2006 in Cherry Hill, Jersey.  If you are looking for someplace to go check these two out.  They attend as many conventions as they can for the fans.  It is a small part of giving back to the fans for supporting them.  I love people like this.   By Lafemmenikita07

The aforementioned  is one group of business organizations that knows and enjoys the business they are in and most importantly knows what the genre fans want on an onging and consist basis.  They read the fan feedback and enhance the show each year so the genre fans woll come back and new fans will come.

This was my first show this year.  In addition, to everything going on I enjoyed the fans.  They were exciting, rushing off to panels and asking questions, watching trailors, hitting the vendor tables, etc.  For the most part they was not much trouble for a large group in a confined space and most importantly the celebrities felt comfortable and safe and where out and among the fans. It was a joy for me to witness this. I attended June 2-4 in Burbank, California at the  Burbank Airport Hilton Convention Center. 

I was there the day, June 2, 2006 when Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen received a Lifetime Acheivement Award from Fangoria and Creation Entertainment.  The genre fans really enjoyed this and gave Lance a standing ovation.  Kudos to Fangoria, Creation Entertainment, Anchor Bay and IDT Entertainment and most of all to Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen and the other celebrities.  By Lafemmenikita07

In addition, later that night Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen shared his award with a Super Fan. Super fans are fans that have the ability to influence and/or persuade other fans to see, reject, and/or ignore movies and films that do not meet their expectations and/or not the actor/actress that "has fallen out of grace" such as Tom Cruise.  Super Fans are opinionated and may be brutally honest and extremely wise with their economic dollar.  However, if you can win the Super Fan over you may have a lifetime fan and free positive publicity.  Super Fans exist all around us and in various occupations.  One comment thread is that they primarily use the Internet to share their "likes and/or dislikes" about actors/actresses, movies and film plots and whether other fans should watch the movie at the expensive theater or wait for DVD or cable. Super Fans have been around a long time.  However, while in a time when mostly everybody is on some kind of budget referring to Super Fans for entertainment recommendations is as commonplace as a fork and spoon. Super Fans are Bloggers, Blogmasters, Webmasters, etc.  The word of their message crosses the United States into other countries where our American movies also distributed. To get a glimpse of the amount of Super Fans consider the amount of people that will attend the conventions this year such as: Convention Events such as Fangoria, Monster Mania, San Diego Comic Con, Anime, WonderCon, Film Festivals and other venues.  Those that ignore the Super Fans debate over what went wrong when their project performs less than expected and/or the feedback are very critical.  However, actors such as Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen knows the economic power of the Super Fans, are familiar with most of them and where they hang out.  When possible Lance Henriksen attends such conventions and other venues to spread hugs, handshakes, pictures, etc.  Sometimes the archenemy of a movie is the Super-Fan, the kind with the power to create a firestorm of negative buzz on the Internet.

Super Fan, With A Web Handle of: "Rather Tenacious", according to our sources Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen had something to do with that handle name.

Reviewer:    Joan E. Michel "TheStare" (Kennewick, WA USA) 

I really like this movie because Lance Henriksen is outstanding as Burns...funny, original, and with his incredible ability to move from caring to menacing in the blink of an eye or simply a look. Molly, Michael, and Alex keep repeating the same lines ad nauseam. Lance/Burns is really the only person worth watching and he's wonderful. I SO WISH for a Region 1 DVD version! A must for all Lance Henriksen fans!

Henriksen's uncoventional bad guy comes out to play, October 21, 2001
Reviewer:    becky robison (ft. worth, texas United States)

This is a great who-dun-it with lots of twists and turns. And the man who steals the spotlight is Lance Henriksen (Aliens) with one of his uncoventional scary guy creations. Molly Ringwald (Fresh Horses) and Donal Logue (Dear God) play a couple in hiding in Baha. They are trying to get money from her dad played by Corben Bersen (Major League). They'd had a drug deal go bad earlier and a person was killed. It wasn't until much later that they noticed the strange tourist (Henriksen) hanging around. Then surprising things begin to happen. This is a great movie for Henriksen fans and a great one for those who love a mystery.

 VOLUNTEERS

 

"Many will be shocked to find,
When the day of judgment nears,
That there’s a special place in Heaven
Set aside for volunteers
 
Furnished with big recliners
Satin couches and footstools
Foot massages and no radios
And never ending Margaritas
 
Where there are no Autograph lines
Or a shortage of Gold Pens
No rude photographers
Bad tempers or crying children
 
A finger snap will bring
Cold drinks and gourmet dinners
And rare treats fit for a king
You ask, “Who will serve these privileged few
And work for all they’re worth?”
 
Why, all of those who reaped the benefits of your hard work and not once volunteered on Earth!"

I really enjoyed this movie.  3/4 of it is very serious and thought cruel.  However, the movie has a twist that turns every thing around.  The always reliable Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen gave a very rememorable performance that carried the movie despite the supporting case.  Also, the movies show more sides of a character that Lance normally plays.  I recommend this movie.  By Lafemmenikita07

Regrets Only... No Refunds For Fans!, November 6, 2005

Gentleman Caller "Bubby"

I hate to see great ideas go to waste. These days, it's rare that anyone ever has any new ideas in Hollywood. Everything has been done before, usually more than once. Sometimes concepts are adapted, and sometimes whole films are re-done... the most blatant slap in the face of creativity. When a film comes along that actually is original, I get excited. In fact, I'll even settle for a new twist on an old story. I get so tired of the same old thing, that even an ounce of creativity goes a long way with me.

It is with this spirit that I morn for this film. Sure, this type of thing has been tried before, but not exactly in this way. It is basically a new thought... poison a dinner party, so that they might be given the chance to purge themselves of their wrongdoings, and live new lives, free from their secrets and burdens of guilt. Always before, films in the horror and suspense genres have involved an antagonist that kills out of spite, evil, or some other wrong spirit. This one, however, is doing everything he can to give his friends a better life. That is a new and exciting twist.

I wish I could say the same thing about the final product. This laborious film stops and starts like a Ford Pinto with a flat tire. The first 20 odd minutes of the film race along so quickly that it is hard to keep up with who is who, and what the background of each of the characters is. Once things settle down, however, they really settle down. In fact, the majority of the second act of the picture consists of characters wondering around alone. During this section of the film, many questions are answered. Unfortunately, somebody forgot to inform the audience of the questions. Instead of major shocking revelations, the film leaves the viewer asking, "why do I care?"

Why, indeed? Why not either save your money, or watch something else.

Included on this disc is a trailer for the film, as well as a couple trailers for other Lion's Gate films. Unfortunately, that is all there is. No photo gallery, no production notes... nothing. Sometimes, a studio will try to save a stinker of a film by loading the disc up with extras. Other times, the studio sees the film as a lost cause, and puts it out on the market with as little effort as possible. It looks like the latter option is the one that was chosen in this case.

This is yet another case of a good idea that was not properly developed. Dropping viewers into the middle of the story without first developing the characters was probably not the best idea. Glossing over most of the second act was also not exactly inspired filmmaking. Aside from the well-mixed soundtrack, there's not much positive to say about this title. This is a disc that is not recommended for anyone, even Lance Henricksen fans. For a similar film that was actually done well, check out Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley in Death and the Maiden.

Another Review

Plot: Detective John Berlin arrives in the small town of Eureka to take up a position on the local police department. When a severed hand is found in the town dump, Berlin becomes obsessed with solving the case. He pieces together a pattern of other similar murders which seems to make the case for a serial killer who targets blind women. However the department accuses him of chasing phantoms. Undeterred, Berlin presses on on his own, and duly becomes involved with blind music teacher Helena Robertson, the roommate of the girl with the severed hand. But Berlin's involvement unwittingly exposes Helena as a witness who can identify the killer and marks her as a target.

 By Richard Scheib
 
This is quite an effective psycho-thriller. Although it received a theatrical release it didn't set the world on fire, despite some good reviews. It is easy to see why - its effectiveness comes from its quietness and slowly absorbing mood and its stars are not at their most expressive. It starts very well - the first half-hour holds one's attention through Andy Garcia's obsessive quest to uncover details of the killings and make a case for the existence of a serial killer, which is placed up against a classic struggle with a department who do not believe him. But then the film sort of slows down - the detective story dissipates about a third of the way in and the romance with Uma Thurman comes to the forefront. And then about two-thirds of the way through the film completely jumps tracks and turns into a wronged man thriller where Garcia has to prove to an Internal Affairs investigation that he is not a killer. This latter third is certainly the film's most absorbing part with the script managing to cleverly turn everything that happened when Lance Henriksen was killed at the institute around to seem either an accident or to point to Garcia being the killer. John Malkovich's performance as the Internal Affairs officer, indifferently aloof, quietly mannered, yet persistent and implacable, is absolutely superb. But the whole sequence comes as such a jarring jump of tracks away from the rest of detective story, it takes some time for one to adjust to it, although the film does at least recover in time to build to an effective ending.
One fine aspect of the film is the photography - the film is all wintry exteriors (the only autumn exteriors symbolically come at the end when the troubles have passed) and shadowy duskily lit rooms. The performances vary - the two leads are weak. Garcia has never given a performance that quite equalled his memorable one as the drug dealer in 8 Million Ways to Die (1986) - he is too smooth and handsome to make any distinction. Thurman seems a little distantly composed in a role that with a more emotive playing could have become a great performance. The best performance comes from the aforementioned Malkovich. Also good is the always reliable Lance Henriksen who gives a credible performance of rough-edged sympathy. Despite its considerable inconsistencies in tone, the film nevertheless does work.

Lance Henriksen May Be Off to Belgium for the 2006 Fantasy, Anime, Comics, Toys and Science-fiction Convention (F.A.C.T.S)
Mood:  special
Topic: For the Fans!!!!!!!

If every thing works out well, Northern Europeans will be delighted to have Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen spent 2 days at the Fantasy, Anime, Comics, Toys, and Science-Fiction (F.A.C.T.S.) convention scheduled for October 2006 in Belgium.

 

 

2006 has been a great year for Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen.  There has been no shortage of work and his popularity among his fans and peers has grown expontentially.  This is well deserved for somebody that has given of himself to the public to entertain us through various modes of artistry including one-of-a-kind pottery for more than 25 years. 

On June 2, 2006 Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the  Fangoria Horror Convention in Burbank, California by Anchor Bay, IDT, and Creation Entertainment. Many Fans and celebrities were at the convention to see Lance Henriksen receive his award and listen to him speak so "down to earth" about his past and current projects, answer questions from the audience, and of course it wouldn't be Lance if he had not shared a bit of humor.  Despite his serious roles when Lance is "out and about" among the fans he is very funny, at ease with his fans, and just a geniune person.

Holding Lance Henrilsen's Lifetime Achievement Award is Lance's newly met fan and admirer called "Rather Tenacious".  She was of the few fans that had the opportunity to look at this award up close and get a picture of it at the 2006 Fangoria Horror Convention in Burbank, California, June 2006.

For example sources say that Lance really didn't care for his big trailer he had during the filming of the series "Millenium" that aired for approximately 3 years, 1996 through 1999.  Lance wanted to be with the rest of the cast and the crew. Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen is taken back by all the support from his fans and his popularity.  Sources indicate that Lance Henriksen does'nt think of himself as "a star".  Lance just loves to work and enjoy people and his life and his great wife and children. All of these things make Lance Henriksen's life complete.   And don't forget Lance enjoys riding horses. 

According to Lance Henrisken, he feels he has to give something back.  Well, I would like to say if Lance Henriksen believes he owes us something well the debt has been paid a long time ago.  So Kudos to this "man of steel" with a "heart of gold."  Let's give Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen a "hand".

Due to the recent events surrounding the stalking of Actor Colin Farrell, in our opinion Fans, Bloggers, Blogmasters, and Webmasters must use the data obtained about the person or persons in their website responsibly.

Do not allow yourselves to get caught up in the "indexing" race trying to get your site indexed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd and/or the most popular by disclosing private information or data on your sites.

We are responsible for the content on our websites.  Therefore, if you have the "real" address of your celebrity and/or a picture of their homes do not post them on your sites.  If you have their personal home telephone or cell number do not post that information.  Do your part to protect your celebrity in the same manner you would want to be protected.  Being the most popular website on the internet at the expense of subjecting a celebrity and/or any other "public" person to "stalkers" and/or other sick people that want to harm them is not worth it.  And please do not post non-public private pictures of their children.

 

If you have not been stalked you have no idea of the emotions involved in the ordeal.  In addition, do not be naive.  Celebrities and other “public” figures are not the most stalked group of people. We are.  Yes, “Joe Blow” public.   The only difference is that the "public" figure's stalking becomes a news event.

This incident with Actor Colin Farrell is very disturbing for our staff because we have member(s) that have been stalked and eventually attacked by the stalker.   So again please, we urge you Fans, Bloggers, Blogmasters, and Webmasters to join our cause to protect each other and the people that are the subjects of our websites.

Please join La Femme Nikita07 and Associates in protecting the private information of those mentioned above and all people.




Thank you for your cooperation from the staff of La Femme Nikita07 and Associates!!!!!!!

Later that night at the celebrity bash Lance Henriksen shared his award with a fan named "Rather Tenacious." 

Hi my name is "Rather Tenacious" and I was one of a few fans that had the opportunity to look at and hold Lance Henriksen's Lifetime Achievement Award.  During my excitement I looked at it; however, I did'nt really pay attention to the words.  In other pictures that La Femme Nikita07 and Associates will post at a later date the photo of the award is clearer.  However for now we know that the awards reads:  Weekend of Horror, June 2006, Lifetime Achievement  Award presented to Lance Henriksen by Fangoria Magazine & Creation Entertainment for enduring contribution to the horror, fantasy and science fiction genres  By "Rather Tenacious" for Lafemmenita07

 

About Lance Henriksen the Artist
Mood:  special
Topic: Simply Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

Below writing by Lafemmenikita07  

These beautiful works of art were truly created by a real "artist" that happens to be an actor.  I believe Lance Henriksen was an artist before he became an actor.  Can there be a difference?  Does one outweigh the only?  I don't think so in the case of Lance Henriksen.  An artist enjoys creating and giving and so does a "real" actor.  An actor continuously challenges himself/herself to try new ideas, concepts, methods, and techniques and so does a true artist.  This is a fairly simplistic way of describing the works of the muti-talented Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen.

Note , however, that everybody that is in a movie, film, on television and/on stage may be called actors; however, is what they do really acting or just getting by?  Are they in this business for the wrong reasons such as vanity?  If they are they will not successfully survive.  Fans that review the many forms of artistry without bias and prejudice and no monetary compensation or gifts make some of the best critics and can be brutally honest.  So if a person is not a “true” artist or actor well, what is done in the dark shall come to light.

Regarding Lance Henriksen you do not have to be concerned about what was written in the paragraph above because Lance Henriksen is the real thing.

Was Lance Henriksen Ready to Meet Fan Rather Tenacious?
Mood:  surprised
Topic: Good Old Fashion Charm

 

 

When "Rather Tenacious" asked her mother how (RT) she was as a child her mother replied:  Very particular.  The world should have prepared itself for this multi-dimensional, eccentric, assertive, and aggressive child turned women a long time ago.  Instead "Rather Tenacious" grew up and took the world by surprise.  "Rather Tenacious" wears "many hats" and has a magnetic personality".  You like her or don’t and/or understand her or tolerate.  Either way you are going to waiver in your decision because "Rather Tenacious" cannot be "typecast".

"Rather Tenacious" met Lance Henriksen at the photo oop early evening on 6/2/2006 at the Fangoria Horror Convention in Burbank, California. There wasn't time for anything other than hi and a whisper to Lance Henriksen about how "Rather Tenacious" would like the photo. "Rather Tenacious" also met Lance's agent; however. "Rather Tenacious" decided to (withhold his name.)

"Rather Tenacious" knew she was going to the celebrity bash later that night and that Lance Henriksen was going to make a cameo appearance. However," Rather Tenacious" did not expect to have further contact with Lance Henriksen.

Then at the celebrity bash Adam, Co-CEO of Creation Entertainment announced that Lance Henriksen was going to visit each table and chat and take pictures. "Rather  Tenacious" couldn't believe it.

At the celebrity bash, while Lance was "doing his thing" around the bash Lance's agent stood most the entire time.  "Rather Tenacious", "Libby" and "Minnesota" were the only people at the table on the left portion of the room near the edge of the stage.   "Rather Tenacious" noticed Lance’s agent standing looking kind of tired. "Rather Tenacious" wondered why he would not sit down. (Lance’s agent was not going to be questioned about his client, Lance.)  Besides very few people knew whom the gentlemen was.   However, how "Rather Tenacious" meeting Lance Henriksen's agent is another story.  Since Lance's agent saw some familiar faces ("Libby" and "Rather Tenacious") and his feet were screaming the agent sat down at the table with Lance Henriksen's Lifetime Achievement Award (from Fangoria, Creation Entertainment, IDT Entertainment, and Anchor Bay) placed on the table.  "Libby" asked Lance's agent if she could take a picture of it. The agent said okay. So "Rather Tenacious" took a picture of the award and picked it up and posed for "Libby" to take the picture. Since Lance had so many tables to get to "Rather Tenacious" with permission picked up Lance's award got ready to strike another pose like Madonna would when Lance walked up to the table and said you have my award and sat down between "Rather Tenacious" and "Minnesota." "Rather Tenacious" looked directly into Lance Henriksen's beautiful green eyes and told him what most people know about her and that is: "I can be rather tenacious when I want to be." Then "Rather Tenacious" starting posing when Lance got her attention jokingly by asking "Rather Tenacious” a question.  (question withheld)

"Rather Tenacious" was not uncomfortable speaking to Lance Henriksen while sitting so closely. So "Rather Tenacious" looked into Lance Henriksen's face with a warm and friendly smile and replied to Lance.   Afterward, the picture was taken with "Rather Tenacious" still holding Lance's award while "Libby" and " Minnesota" watched.   "Rather  Tenacious" smiled because she had heard that Lance had a great sense of humor and was not lacking in the joking area.  However, "Rather  Tenacious" did not imagine she would see that side of him.  "Rather Tenacious" went to sleep on June 2, 2006 with a smile on her face because she had a pleasant experience meeting Lance Henriksen again.   As a result, "Rather Tenacious" provided a piece entitled "Lance Henriksen's Star" for our website.  Check it out.   By Lafemmenikita07.
