Hello, and welcome back. This poster haul is not that stellar. I vote you skip it now and save yourself the bother. Why post it then? So I have a visual record of what I have.
But you may notice there are only 8 posters instead of my customary 10. That is because this will be the last post for awhile...at least until late April or, more likely, sometime in May or June. I'm leaving on a trip to Europe for several weeks and won't be home until the 18th or so. These 8 are all of the new stuff I have to share at the moment.
Take a look below or don't. I'll be seeing you...
KENNY & CO:
I didn't need this when I came across it...and I think I already have one anyway. (Which is good because--argh!--I did not notice the rating has a snipe over it. Grrr!) KENNY & CO. is an early Don "Phantasm" Coscarelli flick. When I was a kid during winter break of 1978, my parents took my brother and me to San Diego. We stayed in this ordinary hotel that sort of became magical to my brother and I. I can't remember all of the cool things that happened, but there was a vending machine that gave us free ice creams. Ha!) There was cable TV in the room. KENNY & CO was on it and we LOVED it. We watched it several times and would mention to each other occasionally through the years. A long while back it was released on DVD and I bought us each a copy. Watching it as an adult...well, it didn't seem at all what I recalled and was not that great to my grown up eyes. Oh well. The poster takes me back to the magic of December 1978 somewhat, at least.
LOVE ISLAND:
This was probably a stupid purchase--and I got it super cheap. If nothing else, I can put it in my tiki room---if I ever have a tiki room. Why did I buy it? Although I have never seen it, the fact it stars Eva Gabor as an island native (probably the only native girl with an inexplicable Hungarian accent) screamed out high camp to me...kind of like Zsa Zsa being the only Venusian with a Hungarian accent in QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE.But this flick apparently features BLAZING LIPS and THROBBING ADVENTURE! Oh my!!!
SEPTEMBER STORM:
Yes, I have this poster already---several times over. I can't help it. I just see an old 3D poster and I have to make it mine...especially when it goes so cheaply...even though I have several already. And I have yet to see the flick (But I do have the 3D blu ray---I just need a 3D TV. ARGH!)
THE WATCHER IN THE WOODS:
I've never seen this supernatural (?) Disney movie (one of their first rated--gasp!-- PG! Jeepers!), but I was always curious about it. I don't think it got very good reviews and I don't think it was a box office success...but... And Lifetime apparently remade it with Angelica Houston in the Bette Davis role. Which is better? Hmm. Whatever--this was a cheap poster.
THE OMEN (Turkish):
This Turkish OMEN poster is one of my favorite Turkish posters. Yes, I already have a copy of this. I'm a spaz. I do not know how else to explain it.
HATCHET:
I had no idea HATCHET played theatrically until I saw this poster for sale. Of course, I bought it--despite it being not so very exciting.
JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM: (Teaser)
The Jurassic Park series has been around a long while---with some good entries and some not so great. This last one was pretty good, but the previous chapter was better. I didn't like the posters for the last installment and don't really buy posters for sequels in general (I do in some instances---like my horror and Bond franchises). Still, I liked the art on this one, so...
CAPTAIN SINBAD (Italian 2F):
I am really delighted with this little find. Italian posters were (past tense...since everyone does quick/cheap Photoshop stuff these days) so wonderfully painted back in the day. I've got a collection of Sinbad movies, including the US release of this film. However, for some reason, the US poster calls the film "CAPTAIN SINDBAD" and that extra "D" just bugs the crap out of me. I don't know why they did it. ALL of the cinematic Sinbads I've tracked down have always used the single "D" spelling. My only guess is they were trying to avoid any copyright infringement from "THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD" at the time? Who knows... Who cares...? I'm just glad to have this. Yippie!
Okay---I know that wasn't much, but it is all I have at the moment. I'll see you after my trip...in May or June at the earliest (if I can afford anything. Europe will be expensive---and I can just hear my wallet crying already. Ha!)
Thanks for looking. Have a groovy day.
