Welcome! Can you believe it is February already? Jeepers! 2019 is off to a go-go crazy fast pace already. Here are some new posters---some not so fab, others are kind of cool (maybe). So have a seat, make yourself comfortable and let's cha-cha-cha our way through them, shall we?
THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG:
Do I have this already? Hmm. I think I do. Disney's first African-American princess tale. I've not seen it, but hope to. I understand there's voodoo and supernatural stuff (all G-rated, of course) in it. How fun.
THE WEIRD WORLD OF LSD (Article style, trimmed):
Normally I would be THRILLED to get this poster. However, it was a last minute bid and...oops! I didn't realize until after my bid was placed that it was TRIMMED. Grrr! Back in the resell pile it goes...
WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (re-release):
I have a few copies of this. I also have an original release poster as well. I love this film. It's scrumdiddlyumptious! Speaking of Wonka, a while back the makers of CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY had an open call, looking for people who were clever enough to write their cards for future editions. If you know the game, you know how random and how politically incorrect it is. I submitted some things, but the only one that was any good (that I even still remember) was this: "A Golden Ticket to your anus". I thought that was clever--but, alas, they never called. Oh well.
STREETS OF FIRE:
Never saw this....
WATCHMEN (Teaser):
I saw this, but don't remember much other than a naked blue giant ghost guy. I thought it had become a cult favorite---and I bid a token amount for this...and it became mine. Maybe I was mistaken about its cult status? Oh well. It was cheap...
PREHISTORIC WOMEN:
Do I already have one of these? While I am reasonable sure that I do, I'm not 100% positive...so I got this copy. Did I really need it? NO! Hmm. It's a small consolation prize as I missed almost everything else I was watching in the auction (as I completely forgot about it until about an hour in... Yikes!). Oh well...
THE UNTOUCHABLES:
I saw this when it came out in theaters originally. All I remember is the baby carriage scene, with the carriage descending stairs---or just about to (even that memory is murky. Jeepers!).But when i saw this poster at auction, even though it is a more modern poster, I really liked the layout and went for it.
RETURN OF THE JEDI (Style A):
I'm no STAR WARS fan. I did see all of them (except "Episodes II and III") in the theaters. This went cheap and I bought it as an investment. I'll turn around and sell it sooner than later.
GHOSTBUSTERS (International):
I have another one of these. This is my favorite style of GHOSTBUSTERS posters as it has the "no Ghost" symbol, a shot of the cast, and it has the title. (I really don't like the one sheet that has the "no Ghost" symbol---and nothing else, not even the title.) Did I need it? No. Am I glad I bought it? Not really... Oh well.
I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN:
I have long wanted one of these (and its companions I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF and HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER). This one has been on eBay forever...and I've been watching it just as long. The price has dropped little by little with no takers. Why? The word "Frankenstein" is on the fold line and the paper has torn through somewhat on the "A" and "N"...so it has some minor issues. it could be linenbacked, but I think it will be okay simply framed. You really can't tell that easily. I'm pleased with it...I think.
Okay... You came. You saw. You wasted a few minutes. Yikes---that is even MORE time gone from February. Zowie! The year is just flying by.
I've already got several posters ready for next time. So stay tuned. I'll be back...
CHEERS!
