The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2018 #5*#

Hi there!  Welcome to another poster posting.

It's April 2nd, 2018! This post is to celebrate the THIRD ANNIVERSARY (April 2, 2015) of  my thread (on another site. Ha!).  I don't have much for a post, but I wanted to get something up anyway for the occasion. Hooray!


RAMPAGE:

I have no idea what this is. Dwayne Johnson? UGH. With the giant ape looming behind him, I had hopes it might be KING KONG or, at least, MIGHTY JOE YOUNG-ish? Based on the fact it is apparently based on a video game of some sort, I have a feeling I bought a turd poster I don't need. Oh well.





WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (re-release):

I already have a copy or two of this poster...why not another? I love this film. Soooo much better than the Johnny Depp/Tim Burton version. And...did I hear it was being remade AGAIN? UGH! 




THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG:

Can you go wrong with a Disney poster? Especially one featuring the first African-American princess in the Disney stables? Hopefully it will go up in value? I've not seen the film, but...




DIE ANOTHER DAY (Advance):

 I liked this Bond outing, even though the Bronsan Bonds are kind of getting the short end of things. It was cheap.




MEN IN BLACK:

 I was never a fan of this series...but I saw it and a sequel. But, it was inexpensive and the first of the series. Why not?




STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE:

Ugh! I'm not even a STAR WARS fan...but I thought I should get one for resell down the road...





STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI:

Ditto. See above.





THE CURSE OF THE AZTEC MUMMY (Mexican):

 Oh my STARS! How excited I am about this one. This is my LEAST favorite film in the AZTEC MUMMY series (it's a shameless retread of the first movie, all told in flashback!). It's also my least favorite poster for the trilogy, but the posters are IMPOSSIBLE to find. I now have this one and the third/final poster, ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY (click HERE for the post where I share it. There are other great posters in there as well.) I just need the first one now. Ooooo. Yahooo!
THE SHAPE OF WATER:

Winner of Best Picture, I am thrilled to have a copy of the poster for THE SHAPE OF WATER. I really enjoyed the movie---except for that weird fantasy song and dance sequence that I didn't think belonged at all. Hopefully it becomes a classic and the price of the poster only increases with time (with my luck, that probably won't happen, but...).



And that is it for now. THANK YOU for three great years. 

CHEERS!

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #1

  Welcome back to the Shock-O-Rama Poster Show. This edition is a bit different. As you may know, with certain exceptions that may come my way, I've by and large stopped buying posters. This post isn't about new posters. Instead it is about my first experiencing linenbacking posters.  If you've read any of my posts before, you will know that I am NO FAN of linenbacked posters. However, as my collecting days were slowing/coming to an end, getting things on linen seemed to be the only way I'd be ever able to enjoy certain posters if I wanted them. I now have several linenbacked posters in my collection. I'm about to have four more... I am still working through a move I made 2 years ago. I am trying to get  my poster collection organized in some sort of manner. I am still going through boxes and tubes, trying to frame them or add them to my flat file drawers (or set them aside for either auction or to donate to thrift stores). During one such effort to (stupidly) pull...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: Special Edition #2: The Best of 2024

Well, 2024 is coming to a close. It's time once again to go through the year's purchases and touch on the favorites I picked up through the year. This was a light year for purchases for me--and next year I expect will be even more sparse, if there are any at all. But I was able to eek out 10 (actually 11) faves for 2024 and here they are: (Honorable Mention) HOUSE OF THE DEAD: I don't have much this year to warrant an "honorable mention". I would probably have used this poster in the #10 spot...except the one there I had been after for sooooo long (despite the movie turning out to be snore-inducing when I finally saw it). This poster I had never seen before--not am I familair with the movie. it probably sucks, but I liked the artwork on the poster---so that is why I chose to include it--honorable mention or not. 10):   THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS  and  OKEFENOKEE  (combo) : I have been after this poster for decades--long before I ever saw the yawn-inducing film...

The Shock-O-Rama Poster Show 2024: #7

  Welcome back! I certainly NEVER expected to be back with another Shock-O-Rama Poster Show, yet here I am. Sure, maybe a "special edition" (about hanging posters or framing them, etc.) would have popped up--but one with "new" posters? No. I have cancer and have been going through chemo for the last four months. Why buy posters if I wind up dead? I resisted for a long time, but...here I am, binging (and mostly on CRAP!). There are 14 here...instead of my ususual 10. I haven't been keeping track of the (utter trash) I've been buying. So, as best I can figure out, for better or worse (mostly worse), these are my new purchases since May or June. I am pulling this together as I realized it's the end of the year--and a "best of 2024" should happen. O' the fun... NOT! I'm trying to recover from my last chemo treatment even now --and all I want to do is be in bed. THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS: Several pieces I ended up with are in poor shape an...
