This is probably the happiest I've ever been for a stranger, this was lovely to watch and reawakened my inner geek
You can hear how nervous you are to meet him in your voice but that just demonstrates how much passion and how inspired you are by Sam. Great video, always nice when someone gets to meet their idol and they live up to your expectations.
As others have mentioned, seeing someone so passionate about meeting a hero of theirs almost made me tear up! Wasn't sure it was possible to be so happy experiencing someone else's happiness. Incredible to see how far yourself and the channel has come. Big love to you.
I love the passion that you have towards Sam Raimi!
My man Holden has done so much in these last couple yrs. Honestly fell off on watching the channel because of stuff going on in my life l but getting back into it and seeing how much this channel has grown just nothing but love for this dude! Also Congrats on your lil "Gohan" Much love from Cali!
This actually brought tears to my eyes, Holden. Been a fan of your channel for a while. It's always wonderful to see someone with real love and passion doing something they love and get to meet one of their idols. Cheers to you and Jen's continued success.
I'm super excited for you, Holden. I'm a huge fan of Comic Cons. I volunteer at the local one here in my town, and you can have some of the most amazing experiences at them. I went to my first con back in 2017 and met Lou Ferrigno, who was a really great guy. I was hooked. I had an interaction like you did a few years later with Tony Todd, Candyman. He and Tom Savini had tables right beside each other. Nobody was at their tables at the time, so I just strolled right up. Tony invited me to sit and talk with them. So, I sat there for a good half an hour having this really great conversation with 2 horror legends, Candyman and a legendary monster makeup artist. It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
Pfff I teared up when you spoke to Sam Raimi, such a well thought out speech and very personal, I'm so glad you got to have that moment with him Holden!!
When you watch these type of videos from you the first thing that comes to mind is what a good person you are . I love that you could hear the nerves when you were talking to Sam Raimi just made me smile !!!!!
I personally will never know what this feeling is like to meet someone you looked up to and feel inspired by
It seems awesome, I get closer to what it would feel like when someone so passionate like you talks about it im happy for you
LMAO 17:20 had me rolling. Everyone else posing and smiling and this girls stare. xD
"I think these are all holos" lmfao
Sam’s seems so genuine too like wow this was amazing
I don't know if it's because I've been having a harsh week but this video made my day. I'm really happy for you Holden, big fan of your content. God bless.
I was Master Chief!!! Thanks for the shoot. 17:06
Those kangaroo handlers were vicious. I paid for the experience for the my 8 year old to hold the kangaroo and they wouldn't even let my 4 year old pet the kangroo once without paying again. Haha
That's amazing Holden! Congrats! Raimis first 2 Spider-man movies are near and dear to my heart as well.
OMG! I wasn't gonna watch this, but I am so glad I did. You made my CRY! So happy you got that moment!
Sam Raimi is a legend
Did not except to be crying by the end of this video hahahaha
Glad you got to meet one of your heroes. He seemed like a nice guy.
I'm so happy for you and as they say good things happen to good people
Damn, this was beautifull.
I'm a big fan of Sam Raimi, i hope some day i could meet him in a convention.
I doubt he will come to Peru, but Ash Williams taught me the hope allways remains.
Some of the best B- roll footage of the con I've seen. So glad you had an awesome time.
Wow that talk with Sam Raimi was incredible. Your speech brought tears to my eyes. It was wonderful hearing his reaction to that. He's such an inspiration to me. I hope I'm lucky enough (and brave enough) to chat with Sam one day. Cheers!
I posted a fan expo vlog because you inspired me!♥
The Man who directed the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man Trilogy & Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness 😉.
Aaaand The Evil Dead
Also add executive producer of Hercules and Xena to the list.
Walter Jones and Karan Ashley are amazing people. When I was the celebrity coordinator at Space City Con I had the pleasure of driving them around Houston and taking them to Joel Osteen's church. Their positive attitude isn't just a stunt for their fans; they're like that at all times. If I'm not mistaken that was also the weekend that Jason David Frank filmed the reunion at his house, so they were likely exhausted and had every reason to withdraw when the fans weren't around.
You guys filmed this so well.
I could tell you were trying to make your conversation with Sam quick so as not to take up his time ( and you were nervous) but he was clearly enjoying your words and I think he would've gladly let you take a breath and just talk for a minute. Very cool moment though and just another testament that if you work hard enough, good things will come. Hard to say it was *just* a coincidence the talent manager for the con is a fan. Keep on keeping on, Holden. Love seeing you rise.
I loved all the cosplayers you guys showed off. Such great costumes!
Especially the red hood cosplayer.
That's so cool! Glad you got to meet your hero
Why am I crying? This is awesome
On behalf of all Lance's out there, thank you for letting our boy praise his idol
Late seeing this post. the guy at 8:35 dressed like Jon Snow was behind me in line to meet Giancarlo Esposito. Giancarlo got pulled to do photo ops right when I got up there and he came out to apologize and let us know he'd be back soon and loved this costume. He told the guy it was awesome, touched the costume and asked if he was hot. The guy was blown away. Best part was his wife had gone off somewhere and didn't come back until all this had transpired. She missed the Grand Moff complimenting the King in the North
8:53 That's what I'm talking about Holden! WALTER JONES! Original Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger!
Congratulations Holden
...as I drove threw your town last year and gave you a high 5 ( virtual high 5 ). You now drove threw my town I give you another high 5. I would have come to the con, but I messed up and had other plans. Glad you had Fun in New Orleans.
SO SO AWESOME.....Great Video!!....I was lucky enough to meet two of my favorite celebrities that I'll never forget
1. I met my childhood hero Mark Hamill and got a photo with him at San Diego Comic Con and he was so so nice and this was obviously BEFORE they all starting charging for photo ops.
2. My Son and I paid to get a photo op with Chris Evans but he had to leave and Tom Holland was there also and he stayed an extra 3 hours to give the Evans photo op fans a picture with him instead so My son and I got to meet Tom Holland and get a picture with him and that was so much cooler.
Seeing this video makes me want to go to cons way more often. Glad you had a good time!
Sam raimi literally shaped my childhood
With great power comes great responsibility
Awesome!
I'm from here and was there that saturday which is crazy, you can even see my friend and I in the background by the petting zoo at one point of the video. I went there in hopes to get my Original 2005 Master Replicas FX lightsaber autographed by the clone wars cast, I got all 3 autographs on the blade. Wasn't cheap but was it so worth it. So funny how I'm just watching this video and love your channel Holden and we were there and I didn't even see you.
Happy for you Holden
Dude, this actually made me really happy for you. So happy for you dude.
Man I'm really happy for you! Meeting a person you've looked up to for years, and finally having an opportunity to get a picture and chat with them is a surreal, overwhelming and nerve-wracking moment (in a good way)!
I remember how much getting a photo with Stan Lee meant to me at his last appearance in Canada, and just having that quick opportunity to say "thank you for creating Spider-Man!" will always be one of the most important days of my life! And I'm glad you got to experience this with the iconic filmmaker himself!
Great video, glad you were able to meet your hero )
I met Sam Raimi last month at Monster Mania he was very nice. It was a blast meeting him. Photo Opp was worth the money. He asked me if I like Spiderman comic books, I told him his Spiderman movies is the reason why I am a Spiderman fan. he told me to do a Spiderman Pose in front of the camera my 5 second of direction by Sam Raimi.
I’m going to meet him at the fan expo in Philadelphia this June!
I met Sam Raimi last week at monster mania 58 and oh my god, the line was out the door. There were so many people there to meet Sam. He walked passed me and other fans a couple of times and the first time, he stopped when I said hi Sam and looked at me and smiled and waved and said hello. It was awesome. The second time he just waved because he was heading back to his table. Me and my sister were happy he said hi and waved. I got a photo op with Sam which was $100 and I wore my Curly Three Stooges shirt because Sam and I both love the Stooges. I audio recorded the photo op, which Sam said "N'yuk N'yuk N'yuk" with me, and when I got his autograph. In our photo, myself and Sam were doing the Stooges eye poke gesture. He was so nice. When I got to his autograph table, we talked about the Three Stooges and he told me Shemp was his favorite and it was his grandfather that got him into the Stooges. I told him it was my dad. I also told him Curly was my favorite and did my impression of Curly which made Sam laugh. He said "That's awesome. Mitzi, you're so funny". He signed my autograph which was $100, "To Mitzi, from your fellow Stooge fan, Sam Raimi". I would've liked to talk to Sam a bit longer but there was a huge line so I made it short. My sister and I waited for over five hours to meet him and our legs were tired and in pain but it was worth it. The funny thing was i wasnt too nervous neeting Sam. Now I have to meet Ted Raimi...if he comes back to NJ. If I do meet Ted, I know I'll be nervous then as I used to have such a crush on him.
That's awesome! I think it's cool that you visit New Orleans from time to time. I know you did a video a while back in New Orleans. I don't live in New Orleans but I'm close. St. Bernard Parish. I had to skip out this year because Fan Expo is expensive, but it's a lot of fun. I'm a bit salty about it because David Hayter was there and I love MGS. I don't blame you about Bourbon Street, btw. I avoid it like Crime Alley in Gotham. lol It can be fun, sure, but it's not my scene. Glad you got to meet one of your heroes!
This is so cool man. Sam Raimi is one of my all time favorites as well, and nothing has been more influential to me than the Spider-man films.
So happy for you that you got to experience this and meet Sam on multiple occasions. I can tell how much it meant to you, and it really comes across in the video.
That was super cool of Lance!
Holden that is so awesome man
5:40 THE MILLENNIUM RING! For all those Yu Gi Oh fans!
8:38 don't think jen is gonna be too pleased with that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holden that was nice that you went because I went last Saturday but last Friday I had picked up Rouge second debut comic and Saturday I had picked Rouge debut comic and had them autograph
This was amazing ‼️
the trading cards soo relatable lmfaoo
I saw your post on r/raimimemes and went to RUclips to see the full meetup. Great video!
This is something else!
I can relate to meeting your inspiration. I met Steve Vai once, who has been my guitar inspiration for a thousand years, and it was one of the coolest experiences ever. So it’s awesome you got to meet someone so important to you.
This was a treat. When I saw the length of the video my mind went "Probably going to skip through most of that," but you kept my attention. This was super cool! Congratulations on all of your success in life.
Amazing Vlog! The convention looked like so much fun and so cool that you got to meet and talk to a director you look up to!
(And getting some RUclipsr connections there in meeting him/getting the autograph;)
I got second hand jitters from watching this and seeing how nervous and excited you were to meet your idol. Good deal man.
So awesome, man! Hate that I missed it
Holden, hey man. First time viewer. The whole reason I stumbled onto your video is I’m going to meet the legend himself Sam Rami next month and I couldn’t be more excited. Just absolutely loved your video. I feel exactly how you feel about Sam. Such an extraordinary and gifted filmmaker and person he is!!!! Dude love your content. You got a new subscriber. I know I’m gonna be nervous meeting him next month. But yeah just had to leave a comment. 🤜🤛
Good luck, I hope you have fun!
Walter E Jones?! Heck yeah!
Haven't watched too much since the end of MFW but I saw this and had to click on it. Just finished writing an essay the other day on the important of Spider-Man 2 for an American cinema history class, got laid off of my editing gig the day after and this is very inspiring. Really shows that not all is ending and I'm only 22. Plenty of time to keep pursuing the things I love.
Edit: this video released the day I was laid off. Interesting timing really. Came at the right time to reassure and put things in perspective as I go into the next semester.
Great interviews, Holden! You should do a "My wife reacts to the 1990 Sam Raimi superhero movie Darkman".
What an awesome turn of events for all of that to play out.
Good for you Holden, glad to see you so excited
Nice video. I see 2 of my cosplayer friends made your video.
So happy for you Holden, so awesome you got to meet him :D
A friend's post about her child turning 2 today and this video of your experience meeting your hero have honestly made my year thus far. There's nothing like genuine human emotion, felt by awesome people who deserve the best this world has to offer, to uplift one's soul. Thank you for sharing your time and I hope this year brings you bundles of joy.
This was so cool! I love how your channel actually led you to meeting your biggest hero/inspiration!
Thank you for sharing this! Your moment where you got to pour your nervous heart out to your hero brought tears to my eyes! Thank you sir!
What a great experience, not only for you but for us on this end! To see it in your eyes, the blessing and appreciation of everything that you just went through. Thanks for sharing this incredible moment of your fandom with us!
That was so cool :)
Omg! Sam Raimi got to meet his Biggest Fan!
Thank You to Lance!
Edit: 8:33 Jim Cummings was there?!😮
And you got to talk to the best power ranger...super jelly!
love that for you
Bruh, the thanos cosplay😂
That’s my guy! I wish I could have gone with ya 💔. Miss you we’ll catch up soon!
Damn bro who cutting onions when he met Sam that second time
One of the most deserving humans to have that amazing chat with Sam Raimi!!!
Nicee, I'm so happy for you, Holden! 🤙🏻😄
I was at a comic con for the first time last year and I went there to meet Charlie Cox👍🏻 I could talk to him, get his autograph and a photo with him together. That experience was awesome for me!! 😯😀
I saw Andy Serkis, Hayden Christensen for example there as well and Charlie Cox's Co Star Elden Henson aka Foggy Nelson😅👌🏼
I'm going to meet Sam next week at Cherry Hill NJ Minster Mania con. Looking forward to it. I wanted to meet him before but the pandemic took care of that. I also have a photo op with him.
I hope you have a good time!
@@HoldenHardman Thank you so much. I'm hoping it'll be better than my experience at the Saturday nightmares convention back in 2010.
@@HoldenHardman do you know how much Sam charges for autographs? I just want to know so I make sure I have enough money for it. Thank you. 🙂
@@JazzFan76 I remember it being up there. In the $75 to $100 range.
@@HoldenHardman Thank you for letting me know. 🙂
Made my eyes water hearing you talk to Sam, am just happy to know you got to experience such a beautiful moment like that as well as just having an awesome time at the con in general.. Congrats, Holden.♥
You met Zack too?! What an awesome trip!
Good for you, Holden! Keep up the great work! Glad you can do things like this and just enjoy yourself from time to time!
I'm so happy for you Holden! I know how much you love Sam Raimi and this is probably one of your favorite experiences ever.
I like Sam Raimi despite what people say about his Spiderman films, I grew up on them.
Greg Sistero seems like a super chill dude. Awesome that you got to meet him and of course your hero, Sam Raimi. 🤙
7:34 Holden, lady in the blue, might want to cut it out😧
Great filming and editing, Holden!.. I liked the speed changes mixed with the panning shots... created a great vibe and flow to the vid!
This is truly awesome! Raimi is an influence on my work, and I truly hope to meet him one day!
Congratulations on meeting your hero, Holden!
I'm so happy for you Holden!
That's so cool!! My hero is Ahsoka and I'd love to meet Ashley some day!! I'm so happy that you got to meet your hero 🤩
