Monster A GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show

November 07, 2015, 03:31:29 AM  So I'm BACK, from outer space! I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face. I should have changed that stupid lock. I should have made you leave your key... Why the heck am I writing the lyrics to an old disco song?  Ha! But I really am back from outer space. I circled Uranus and barely escaped the gravitational pull of a giant black hole! If it hadn't been for a blast of some evil and deadly space gas that escaped from the black hole and knocked me free from its gravitational clutches, who knows what horrors I might have encountered? EEEK! Yeah, I'm BORED!!! Hello! How are you? How was your Halloween? I got out of town and...did absolutely NOTHING. Waaagh! My favorite holiday shot to hell again. Waaaagh! But I'm back on. I was planning to stay away longer---but my poster addiction won't let me. Ha! And, of course, I picked up a few things (there was this out of this world little poster shop ...

October 26, 2015, 08:28:10 PM  Howdy! Here is the last of my new (to me) poster purchases from the last several weeks. Once I get this posted, I intend to "take a break" from the Forum for a while. Since being off of work, I've spent far too much time shopping for posters (literally CHARGING up thousands of dollars in the process. Smart!  NOT!) and spending way too much time online perusing the forum (and drooling all over the screen while looking at other scrumptious posters...and then going shopping some more, and continuing the vicious and costly cycle!). There are so many OTHER things I need to do or could be doing instead. I could write some articles for the newspaper (and earn some much needed CASH), I could pack up stuff to send to auction, I could write the (Not-So-) Great American Novel, or I could clean my bathroom (o' the horror!). Heck, just getting my laundry put away would be a major achievement. I'm sure I won't be away long--I'm such a...

October 24, 2015, 02:08:42 AM Yes, more posters a go-go below-O! Here we go-go: BEASTMASTER (Thai) : First of all, the one shown is NOT my copy. The photo of the one I got was kind of hard to see--so I "borrowed" this one from online. But mine does not have the water (?) rolls in it. Isn't this a cool image. I always liked the US poster, but this one adds an extra dimension that the US one can't beat. Just gorgeous Thai work. BREATHLESS (Thai) : Another Thai beauty...and for this one, I have Steve in mind obviously. Ha! The Thai version kind of mimics the US poster with the random things placed on the poster (the gun, the car, the photo, etc.), but where the US poster leaves off, the Thai takes off in fantastic ways. Zowie! Another awesome poster. THE SINKING OF JAPAN aka TIDAL WAVE (French) : I like my disaster flicks. I saw TIDAL WAVE (the US version with stupid scenes of Lorne Greene edited in--a la Raymond Burr in the original GO...

October 23, 2015, 07:55:14 AM  I can't sleep. Got 2-3 hours of sleep. Woke up. Tossed and turned for an hour before just getting up (at 4 a.m.--ugh!). Thought I'd throw up another poster post---one of the lamest of recent memory (yes, even worse than the last lackluster two posts). These posters are so dull, maybe they'll put me to sleep again. Let's see... DOLLY DEAREST: Ah, yes... the female CHUCKY wannabe.  I never saw this, but maybe want to? I'm sure it's trash, but the poster makes it look like fun trash. THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE:  I have no idea what this--but it was cheap. Looks like a noir perhaps? The allure for me? The gimmick that it boasts it's in NATURAMA!  What the heck is that? Ooooo. THE SHAGGY DOG: This is a 74 re-release. Nothing special---part of a lot (actually, the bulk of this listing is part of the same lot. Snore!). I never saw this film but probably should. It's a Disney classic, right? Hmm.) ...

October 22, 2015, 06:17:27 PM  I'm B-A-C-K! Here is yet another mixed bag of new acquisitions...eh. It's almost not even worth posting, but...  Here we go anyway! THE OMEN (Turkish) : Oooooo. I just got the Turkish "DAMIEN: OMEN II", but what I really wanted was the original Turkish "Omen". It's so much more interesting than the US. It kind of reminds me of the Thai posters (I wonder if there was a Thai poster for "The Omen"? Hmm.) Well, tuh-DUH!!!! I finally HAVE the Turkish poster for "THE OMEN"!  Yippie!  (Now I wonder what the Turkish "Omen III" is like. I've never seen one of those. Probably not nearly as interesting...) THE NIGHT EVELYN CAME OUT OF THE GRAVE:   I'm not 100% sure, but I could almost swear I saw this movie on one of those  crappy/cheap-O 10 (or 25 or 50) movies for $5 DVD sets. If I did see it, it was not that memorable. I don't recall it at all. But I have long thought ...
