Hi there. How was your Valentine's Day? Filled with hugs, kisses and (as Shirley Feeney would say) vo-dee-o-dodo? (Oh my!) Maybe just sweet exchanges of cards, flowers and chocolates? I worked all day... That was fine. (UGH...sooooo dang tired...)
Anyway--I hope you had a Happy Valentine's Day everyone. And now on with the posters:
TWIN PEAKS - FIRE WALK WITH ME:
I already have a copy of this that I got years ago from the theater that was showing it. But my copy got some damage after years of storage. I picked this copy up as a replacement. With the new series coming out soon (now scheduled for 2017--ugh! I can NOT wait!) I am hoping interest in this title will go up. I wasn't wild about the film prequel---but it was still better than no TWIN PEAKS at all.
THE MYSTERIANS:
From behind the moon they came...to invade the earth, abduct its women, level its cities! Zowie! I have half-heartedly been trying to get one of these posters for years. I was surprised to win this lot...especially since it came with TWO copies of the same poster (cutting the actual price in half). I'll re-sell one later down the line. In big screen color! Greatest science fiction picture ever conceived by the mind of man! (That, of course, implies that all of the other better sci fi movies were conceived by, what? Aliens!? Ooooooo!) Ha!~
LOGAN'S RUN (Beach Towel):
What a minute, you are saying. That isn't a poster. It's a beach towel. That is correct. Nearly 40 years ago, in the summer of 1976, I remember buying one of these Farrah Fawcett/LOGAN'S RUN beach towels at the long-defunct GEMCO department store in town. It was thin and very cheaply made. I had it thumb-tacked up to my wall for 2 years, until we moved. It was somehow lost in the move and never recovered. Since that time I have been trying to get a replacement. It's been a seemingly impossible task...until I came across this one is as nice of shape as you can expect after nearly 40 years. I am delighted to finally have another copy (who knows...maybe this was actually MY towel from way back when?) and will eventually frame it and hang it up on a wall again.
THE CRAZIES (original version):
I was thrilled to snag this little gem...the one sheet for the original CRAZIES bt George Romero. I finally saw the film last year...expect to see the remake this year some time.
BARON BLOOD (Italian 2F):
I find this poster just gorgeous. I had been watching it for some time, but didn't want to pay what the dealer was asking for it. He also had the poster below (no peeking---you'll see it in a moment any way) and, after hanging on to my rather generous allotment of eBay Bucks for a few weeks with nothing better to spend them on--I opted for this poster (and the one below) and got both essentially almost for free. Wow!
BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE (Italian 4F):
I do not like the Italian 4F size. They are just TOO BIG and how do you keep the two sheets that make up the poster together? Hmm. Despite NOT liking the 4F size, i was just drawn to this poster. The 2F for this title did not work for me at all...in fact, this movie is crappy in my opinion. But this poster? I don't know why, but I just love it. When I decided to finally cash in my eBay bucks, I decided to just go for it and get this. It's big (too big) and beautiful...and free! Yowza!
JAWS 2 (Advance Red/sunset-style):
Oooo. I have been wanting one of the rare "red"/"sunset" advance posters for "JAWS 2" for a long while. Never thought I'd get one. Looks as if it has a bit more fold wear than i am comfortable with, but... I'll have to wait and see what it looks like in real life when I get it before i can tell for sure. It did take a big bite out of my wallet though. Ouch...
GODZILLA VS THE THING:
Whoo hoo! Another classic GODZILLA title for my collection. of course, i still need the original (never gonna happen) and a few other posters--mostly from the 70s---but this brings me one step closer to completing (as much as possible) the series.
GORGO:
Zowie! Another giant monster movie/Godzilla rip off poster! GORGO!!!! Cross that off my list. Yippie!
GOLDFINGER and DR. NO re-release combo:
This had been on my list for the longest time... I actually have left it on the list, because I am going to seek out a better copy than this one. I have one sheets for all of the Bond films (admittedly, most of the Connery Bond titles are the 80s re-release versions) and had most of the double (or triple) feature re-release posters...except for this one. ARGH! I've been trying to procure one for the last 20 years +/-. I'd see one and it would slip away...constantly. I didn't let this one go---but paid too much for it and am not happy with the wear on it. BUT--I am one step closer to happily having a copy I like.
And that's it for February. I'll see you guys in mid-March. Drop me a line if you like. Buy great posters! CHEERS!
