Hi there. I wasn't planning on any more posts...but auctions happened and I won. Argh! This is the main reason i am imposing strict buying rules on myself in the coming year. I just spend too much money. All last fall, i knew I was going to sell my house---so I charged posters left and right, as I planned on paying off my credit cards when i did sell the house. I sold the house, paid off the cards...and still keep buying like crazy with the profits from the sale. I don't want to poop all of the money away, so i MUST stop my spending by slapping rules on myself. Jeepers! I mean all of the posters below are nice (well...), but I certainly did NOT "need" any of them....and there is at least another full postings worth of posters left to share! ARGH!
Okay--here are ten new posters I really could have lived without:
LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE:
I actually wanted to see this (sort of) when it came out. No humans--just animals (owls?). And in 3D? It looked interesting. I bought the 3D blu ray---just have no way to watch it yet. But did I "need" the poster? No.
STONE FLOWER:
I opted to bid on this because it was old (40s) and had good (not great) art work and was in very good condition. But I didn't love it. I'd never even heard of this flick... Something else I could have lived without...
TRUE LIES:
I like spy movies, James Bond especially. While i may already have this poster, I'm not positive if i do or not. I'm no fan of Ahh-nold's but I do like Jamie Lee Curtis. Hmm.
TERMINATOR: GENESIS:
I didn't bother to see this or Part 3 (this is Part 5, right?) I don't have any of the TERMINATOR posters (at least, I don't think I do). Why did i feel the need to go after this one? Hmm.
THE CRYING GAME:
This was a pretty good little flick, but I figured out the "gimmick" early on. (I was surprised at how they chose to "reveal" the truth though--unexpected! EEK!) But did I need the poster? No.
PLEASURE IS MY BUSINESS:
This stars the real Happy Hooker, Xaviera Hollander. It was in great condition and only going for $1. I bid $2---and won it. ($2 really being $16 with buyers premiums, etc). Ooops. I didn't need this.
ROOM 11:
Despite the stolen BOB, CAROL, TED, AND ALICE pose on the bottom of this poster, there's nothing to write home about. This came with PLEASURE IS MY BUSINESS.
THE SINFUL BED:
Another freebie with the PLEASURE IS MY BUSINESS poster. Whoopie.
LIVE AND LET DIE (JAMES BOND FILM FESTIVAL re-release):
I've only half-heartedly tried to get this poster over the years. The artwork looks lifted from THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN instead of LIVE AND LET DIE. Oh well.
OCTOPUSSY (Japanese B2):
And Bond---Japanese style in this B2. Totally not necessary as I have the US one sheet.
I have another ten to post later---and a few after that. Ugh! Good thing 2015 is almost over.
Happy almost new year.
Cheers!
