POSTER TIME!!!!!
This first batch I ordered from everyone's pal Ari. I wasn't going to post them just yet--I was going to wait until they arrived. But I decided to share with the new guy, "e", my very first locandina (did I spell that right?), which I got from the A man.
Here' the locandina (sp?).
BARRACUDA:
I'm a sucker for a lot of things; movie gimmicks, bad sequels no one has ever heard of or remembers, disaster flicks, 3D, and "JAWS" knock offs, to name a few. "Barracuda" falls into the latter category. Although it's kind of dull (zzzzz..), there's still the poster (which is also, well, kind of dull). I have elsewhere in my thread an Italian (I don't know what they're called..) 1 piece (like a one sheet?) with some different art than the US poster...and then I spied this locandina that I really like. Instead of just being a menacing fish in the water, this time the barracuda has a head in its mouth! Yowza! How exciting! (More exciting than the film itself! Ha!)
THE DOCTOR AND THE DEVILS (Australian one sheet):
Never heard of this one--but probably everyone has. It looked interesting and wasn't too expensive, so why not? Thanks again Ari.
JOURNEY INTO BLISS:
This one really excited me...and I've never seen the film, but judging by the poster I really want/need to. It looks like some weird, crazy, experimental grooviness. Ari, I think, said his friend made the movie--or was involved with it somehow. Interesting and apparently very little paper on it.
RABID (Thai):
Ari had several Thai posters. I almost couldn't decide...but went with Cronenberg's "RABID". It's so different than the US poster (with the body stuffed in the refrigerator--LOVE that one, too). I hadn't seen this Thai yet, so opted for it.
Thank you, ARI!!!!!
Speaking of Thai (the RABID poster), I also picked up these:
PUPPET MASTER:
The first thing I noticed when i saw this poster was the ghastly, bloody (?) mouth in the center of the poster. Was this some zombie flick? No--it's PUPPET MASTER! Ha! Cool art though...and what is mind-blowing also is that it actually played theaters in Thailand (instead of going straight to video like it did here). Ha! Gingerman, you just posted this. I didn't say anything then--saving it for now. But we can be Thai poster twinsies! Ha! You've got GREAT TASTE! happy1
THE BELIEVERS:
Okay, so this voodoo movie is a little less than interesting. Normally I'd have passed over this poster...but the Thai version---WOW! It has so much going on. Why can't US posters be more interesting? Had THE BELIEVERS had this poster, it might have made a little more money here (or not--because it was still kind of a dud).
PRIMITIF:
I know. I know. ANOTHER cannibal movie poster. This time from Thailand. Wow! Gruesomely cool.
EVIL DEAD 2:
See why I need your posters Gingerman? You have EVIL DEAD 1...and I have the sequel! Again, may I say you have GREAT TASTE! Zowie! These Thai posters --especially for horror flicks--really rock! There are so many cool ones out there I need to get. They MUST be mine. Ha! If anything would inspire gonzo Thai art it's an EVIL DEAD movie.
Back to US one sheets, I have two more to share:
THE LAST PARADISE:
I wanted this after my trip to Hawaii. Almost as big of an obsession as posters are for me is tiki culture (as in tiki bars). Once I'm back in a house, I want to turn a spare room into a home tiki bar! I thought this poster, done up in a bamboo frame, would look swell in my tiki bar-to-be. Steve, if you are reading this, there are (gasp!) topless native chicks in this fully showing their, uh...coconuts! OH MY!!
THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION:
Finally, no collection is complete without some gratuitous cheez-o-rama! EEK! THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION!!! What a deliriously silly little bit o' low-budget '70s drive-in splendor! There is even a giant spider (a not so cleverly disguised Volkswagen) with wheels, if you look carefully enough! Ha!
Thanks for popping by.
CHEERS!
