I wrote my morning posting (and the posting that will follow this one) several days ago so I would have an easy time of things when posting time came. But--oops! Auctions happened and wins occurred.
These are late additions to my poster postings for the month--and not my FAVES of the month (those will come still later this evening...) I am writing this on the 12th. Obviously, I still have NOT learned my lesson about buying things I do not need...but it could have been worse. Last Tuesday's emovie auction had many different posters from all over the world. I did NOT "need" any of them, but saw a bunch i liked and bid conservatively on them. I won 3...but that's still $30-odd dollars i did not need to spend. Last Thursday's auction left me winning only 1 when the auction dust had cleared...and then there was Richard's Movie Poster Bid auction and who knows what--if anything--I may have won tonight (while working. Whatever I won will have to wait for my March visit for posting)! Oh well. Here are those recent win posters I did not need (well, the last two I'm kind of pumped about, but)......
THE UNUSUAL VOYAGE OF MISHKA STREKACHYOV (Russian):
I know nothing about this, but found the photo poster of the child charming... But I didn't need this.
KING OF THE REINDEER (Russian):
Another movie I know nothing about...but I liked the art. Did NOT need it though.
MOONLIGHT (Polish):
This is apparently not a movie poster, but a poster for a live performance. It does not say where or when it is happening though. The poster is supposed to be Polish--and it looks like it could be Polish art--but every word on it is in English. Another poster, while cool, it was not necessary...
JOHNS:
This is a small, indie movie nobody saw. It was kind of like a poor man's MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO in that it featured two up and coming actors (David Arquette and Lucas Haas) daringly playing male prostitutes. It didn't have the punch MOPI has, but it was still a good little movie. Plus it was only $5.
LOST BOYS:
Zowie! I am kind of excited about this poster. While I am reasonably sure I have a copy already, I don't think it's in as nice of condition as this one and while this poster usually gets very pricey for some reason---this very good copy wasn't too bad price-wise. I didn't need this copy, but I'm glad I got it.
LOST HIGHWAY:
Of the really recent stuff (on this posting...all from the last few days), I am most pumped about this one. I THINK I may have a LOST HIGHWAY poster---but I am NOT sure. I loved TWIN PEAKS and am looking forward to the continuation series next year. LOST HIGHWAY, when I first saw it, was soooo amazing. It was my favorite Lynch piece until his masterpiece (imo) MULHOLLAD DR. was released. LOST HIGHWAY doesn't hold up for me (the last half hour or so is still wonderfully wtf-ish though) since MULHOLLAND DR. came along...but anything Lynch is worth grabbing. Yahoo!
BARRACUDA (Italian 4F):
ANOTHER 4F. I'm NO fan of that size (It's super huge and in 2 pieces), but I am a sucker for JAWS ripoffs. I already have the 2F version which is different. This version has a gorier image with the barracuda with the diver's head in its mouth. Yowza! I like the image...and had gotten it on an Italian locandina (?). I guess if I want it on a poster, it will have to be a 4F. Apparently in Italy, most 2F and 4F posters feature different images...is that true? Anyway, here it is...
And that's it for this mini-post. My final post (my favorites from the last month) will come a little later this evening.
CHEERS!
