Top 'o the mornin' to ya. Happy March 17th (a.k.a. St. Patrick's Day)! You are in luck. With today being St. Patrick's Day, it's time for a BONUS post! Whoo hoo! (And that ain't no blarney.)
LEPRECHAUN:
Of course...it's St. Patrick's Day. You can't have a St. Patrick's Day post without something to go with it. For years I resisted buying this poster (because I hated the film and didn't bother with any of its 6 sequels). Instead, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, i'd hang up a re-release poster for DARBY O'GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE. Snore. I finally decided to throw up a LEPRECHAUN poster. I may not like the flick but anyone coming to the house around the 17th would immediately get it,
NERVE:
I have not seen the film yet, but i thought the trailer looked genuinely interesting. I meant to go see it, but never got to it. I do like the poster too with it's use of color. Will i ever hang it--probably not, but you never know.
MAN IN THE DARK (2-D one sheet):
I already have one of these, but I couldn't resist a 2nd one (possibly an upgrade?). This is the one sheet for the flat, 2-D version of the film noir flicker MAN IN THE DARK. While a rollercoaster is still featured in the ad, it's not as prominent as in the 3-D version of the poster. I sooooo want to see this movie. I have a 3-D blu-ray player and a 3-D blu-ray of the movie...I just need a 3-D TV. Drat! I got this from Rich. Thanks as always, Rich.
STRICTLY BALLROOM (British quad?):
Another of my dead friend's posters. I could have done without this...but what the heck? I did enjoy the movie when it came out. Haven't seen it since.
LOS MONSTRUOS (Mexican):
I'm not entirely sure this is a movie poster...but if not, what else is it? Is the movie called LOS MONSTRUOS? Santo is listed---but there are no other credits. Just a small blurb saying it is in color. The monster stuff was enough for me.
JAWS 3D (3D glasses):
NOT a poster---I know. But you know I like my gimmicks and I even have a pair of 3D glasses from the first 3D feature, BWANA DEVIL...so getting a JAWS 3D is nothing strange for me. This apparently is also from my friend Scott's estate. When JAWS 3D played (actually when most, if not all, of the 80s 3D flicks played my town), we were given generic glasses to watch the film with. Almost all of the 3D films back in the 80s were shown with generic glasses, as I recall. I do remember getting the FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D glasses for F13 3D (and still have those somewhere), but that's it, I believe. So a pair of non-generic JAWS 3D glasses? SOLD!
THE BLACK HOLE:
I waited in line to see this opening day back in the 70s (1977?)...and was promptly disappointed. What could have been a compelling sci-fi yarn with a Captain Nemo-like captain of the main space ship, was too Disney-ed up with cute robots and a lame ending. Oh well. Cool art though.
MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO:
I already have one of these. This was also from Scott's estate. I bid nominally and won. Simple as that. But it is a great movie...and River Phoenix's swan song (and yes, Keanu Reeves ALMOST ruins it at times. Ugh. HOW does he still get work?).
BORN LOSERS (re-release and re-release lobby card set):
After buying this, I was officially OVER my semi-obsession with the BILLY JACK films, which I STILL have NOT seen. Ha! To top it off, after buying this, I discovered I already HAD the poster. ARGH!
SCHOOL FOR LOVE:
My first anything with Brigitte Bardot. Not a great poster, but vintage va-va-va-voom star material. Hooray!
MAD MAX:
This was not a poster i actively wanted. I just know it's very collectible, came across it and went for it. Now that I have it, i really like it. And I was never a big MAD MAX fan...
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Give yourself a big PINCH for me if you're not wearing green! Maybe you'll catch a poster leprechaun. Zowie! Wouldn't that be fab?
Have the luckiest of lucky days.
CHEERS!
