True Romance, fun.

Yeah love that film

In my top 3 films of all time.
Every performance is stellar.

I have the Tyler Stout poster hanging on my wall.

That poster is incredible. Much want.

We rewatched it recently as well. Nigh on perfect film. And that haunting theme music.

I rewatched True Romance a few weeks ago. So good, the cast is pretty much perfect.

Back in 2014, Steven Soderbergh made a black-and-white, silent cut of Raiders of the Lost Ark, with music by Trent Reznor. It was done as demo to teach film students about staging, but it works really well.

That looks ace.

Might try and source some 420, smoke a banger and settle in to watch that, one of these days.

Tyler Stout is a bit of a divisive artist, but his shit sells out instantly (and some resale prices are insane, his star wars stuff goes for £1000+)

Alternative Movie poster collecting is a hobby of mine, if anyone is mildly interested check out the documentary film 24x36, kick started my interest in them.

One of my all time favourite movies as well. And I have this hanging on my wall.

The canyon scene from 1:41:15 is perfect in this. In the black and white and with A Familiar Taste playing behind it, it just looks and sounds amazing.

Watched 24x36 and was initially really excited (thinking this might be the equivalent to Helvetica or something of the sort) but it later began to feel more like a promo piece rather than a run through of film poster art. I agree with the sentiment that there is definitely more scope for creative executions of film posters but had a look at Mondo and other sites but felt like pretty much all the films were for Marvel/DC Comics style blockbusters - would be keen to hear of artists that you think are worth a follow. A favourite of mine is MM a.k.a. Emmanuel

Recently seen films

Hounds of Love: harrowing but well executed. There is some interesting questions around whether such films should be made. Another chapter in the book of Australian suburban unease
The Peanut Butter Falcon: light hearted fun...a bit too saccharine for my tastes
Piranhas: more from the people who brought you Gomorrah. I found it compelling.
Greyhound: felt by the numbers
Holiday: deals with similar issues to Hounds of Love and similarly uneasy viewing but well worth a view

Spam alert. Any interest in some US film original Japanese B2 poster prints? Off the top of my head I have

Robocop
Diehard
Gandhi
Empire Strikes back (90's re-issue)

All in really good condition.

Pics?
Prov dibs on robocop and die hard

Or all maybe.

fuck.

2nd dibs on robocrop.

Sorry i should of said I'll be after some cash for these. I'll get some pics up soon, thinking £25 for one or £40 for two.

.

Of course, would postage be an option?
(I'd pay for that too)

Sorry to be a dick, happy to step aside for a local pick up if you'd prefer.

would be very interested in the die hard one (pending photos)

oh, think that may be 2nd dibs. sorry @DethBeard

Need to think about ESB, quite collectible even though it’s from the shitty later remaster.

Couple more from around the house, thankfully I can’t read Japanese so don’t have to read Kevin spacey every day

Fixed.

Holy fuck those are amazing.

Once upon a wheel, sublime.

I'm keen on the RoboCop, if you can bring yourself to part.

Willing to trade for either
