Hi.
I need to get to bed, but I thought I'd throw up (NOT as in vomit, but as in share) some more poster photos (just 10) from my photobucket account from when I was posting on that other site (before it deleted everything). I'll do this now and then until I "catch up". Of course, then I'll eventually have to go through all of my stuff in boxes etc from before I started posting on that defunct page---and there are thousands of posters to go through... Someday...
Blah blah blah.
Anyway, this first pic is of me, Monster A GoGo, holding my framed original "MONSTER A GOGO"! This was right after I got it. I was thrilled. My name came from the movie, but not because I liked the movie (it's god-awful). It's a long story and we don't need to go there. But I love having the poster. Yahoo!
"VISITING HOURS"...crappy horror flick, clever-ish poster. Nothing to write home about, it was just at the end of my photobucket account. I did see this in the theaters though back in 1983 or so. I think it was a double feature with "Friday the 13th Part 3" (in 3D)! (I have one of those posters too--framed--in my creaky old video). This flick did have an "all-star" cast of mostly people whose careers had ebbed somewhat. To me, it played like an old TV movie-of-the-week. I didn't make a lot of logical sense at all.
"FLY ME TO THE MOON". Yep. Have that. Whoopie... As I said before,I'm a sucker for gimmicks. 3D's comeback was still fairly new then... that's my only defense. Ha! (I guess I could just NOT post this and no one would know how lame of a poster I have. Hee hee!):
Speaking of 3D,here's a vintage 3D poster, "WINGS OF THE HAWK". The old 3D posters were awesome. They really tried to sell the whole coming off the screen gimmick. The new 3D is very clean but doesn't fly out at you the way the old 3D did. Oh well...
And yet another vintage 3D poster, "FORT TI"! Zowie! Look out!! This one is courtesy of gimmick king WILLIAM CASTLE!
Zowie! It's Hercules (Steve Reeves) vs Tarzan (Gordon Scott) in "DUEL OF THE TITANS"! Okay, so they were not playing Herc and Tarzan in this--but it was still a great team up for a 60s peplum flick. I dig those old cheesy sword and sandal epics. ("Hey Johnny,you ever see any movies with gladiators in them?) This was a pretty great find:
The very first movie poster I ever bought was for "LOGAN'S RUN". I loved this film as a kid. I think I mentioned that when I saw it in one of my town's fading movie palaces (now gone dark), the projectionist invited me up to the projection booth and I watched a good portion of it up there. That was a magical experience. Anyway, that first poster got ruined (my fault), so I got a replacement copy that I had framed and on my walls before going back to school and moving in here. This is a back up copy:
"THE OMEN"--this was a great flick and one of the first R-rated movies I got into when I was still too young to go without an adult. (I saw this on a re-release with "Damien Omen 2"--before the third one, so it must have been in 1980. I would have been 15 then). What an awesome flick--the remake was a waste of time.
"20TH CENTURY OZ"? Never seen it (although I did buy a bootleg DVD--just haven't got around to it yet), but I dig all things "OZ" so figured I'd get this as well. It was inexpensive...why not?
Finally, everyone knows Universal released the pilot to the original "Battlestar Galactica" in theaters after the premiere to recoup some of the show's expenses (even presenting it in SENSURROUND, which I believe was the final time that gimmick was used... waaagh!). This one sheet is Australian (??) for the 2nd feature (NOT released here in the states), "MISSION GALACTICA: THE CYLONS ATTACK", culled from the first few episodes of the series and released theatrically internationally. Golly, Universal sure had balls trying to get people to pay for what they'd already seen for free on TV. Ha! Anyway, I'm no sci-fi nut, but I thought this was a bit on the rare side and future sci fi fans might be willing to part with some cash for it. Nothing too grand, but more than the few bucks I paid for it hopefully. It's kind of fun on its own anyway.
And now I really must get to bed. More later. Thanks for stopping by.
CHEERS!
