Rich, those are incredible!

Gotta love Karloff, any day of the week, and that Seven Footprints of Satan is a really interesting image, too.  

thanks Jeff
I think the West of Shanghai is great. I'll take Karloff over Lugosi every day of the week
7 Footprints, always loved this title and the paper is super-rare. the border art gives me a kick

[marklawd]

Thanks for the comments on the BTTF.

......Re the quad, what's the white border on top?

I'm guessing it's either a space for a snipe advertising the cinema and/or screenings or an uncut London Underground poster. Hope Paul can respond.

Well, retrospectively, maybe I should have shut my big mouth, since I have been told it is taboo to criticize one's purchase.  So sorry about that.  Different strokes for different people.  I'm sure 90% of my collection is crap to you, Mark, as it should be.  It's mine and I don't expect anyone else to like it......

You didn't criticise my purchase Thierry, you gave your thoughts on a poster sold at Ewbanks without knowing who bought it. I know there is an etiquette on here to say only positive things about people's purchases but it is good to hear contrary thoughts as well. The only thing that annoys me is if someone is constantly negative or critical in their postings and there is no one like that on this forum. No, your collection is (more than) great but navigating your website has room for improvement!

Gentlemen, if any of you have any views on my Bogies do please feel free to say so.

First of all, great pick-ups Mark, I keep toying with getting that Nosferatu myself..   And if I'd of had some spare funds, I'd have had a go at the BTTF also..

The White boarder at the top of the The Wall Quad was for "over-printing" the location and dates as you say, but they wouldn't add a snipe, just printed directly on the the White area, which was done "locally" to the Cinema showing the film.

And not forgetting Rich...   Excellent stuff Rich, would love any of those. If you get board of them, you know where I am...

The freedom of speech is a good approach, but it's not without its faults.  One of the main downsides is having to deal with the few, ultra-negative dingleberries, who think their opinions are "holier than thou", and launch all kinds of attacks, while in their (perceived) security, on the internet.  I also welcome critical commentary, and fortunately, most people here are mature and intelligent enough to handle the free speech here.

Whenever someone tells me my stuff sucks, I usually just put it straight in the shredder because I'm sensitive like that

Hey, who you calling an ultra negative dingleberry? I find such comments crappy, in fact, this is the kind of crap which breeds more dingleberries . And don't butt in, that just makes it worse.

I could make a list of the people, but that would be a waste of time, as everyone knows who they are.  A lot in life is crappy, but sometimes it's best for people to take a stand against BS.  I was simply chiming in, which I don't see as a problem.

For the record, I think Thierry's comment that ML was referring to is "OK."

[jedgerley]

I guess if I dont know who the dingleberries are than I must be one of them. Ha!

That's not the most sound reasoning.  

Just to clarify, I should have said less than a handful of people who acted ultra-negatively, and launched personal attacks (on numerous occasions).  It's not that big of a deal, and it's not to say they're "bad people" or whatever.  I just disagree with their ways in the past, as I'm sure they already know.

Funny, but not far fetched.  If we were going to criticize posters we don't like, albeit in a nice and respectful way, I suspect many people would stop posting their gear by fear of being turned down.  

I always thought that the purpose of a forum was to say what you thought, good or bad, about whatever said forum was about.  Basically an exchange of thoughts and information.  But I learned that a lot of collectors feel that criticizing their purchase is like criticizing their weight or physical appearance.  It becomes a personal thing to many and many get offended.  So poster collecting has turned into a love fest, everything is amazing, everything is wow and bravo.  It's actually interesting how prints can be criticized, because they're not posters, but posters cannot be touched.

Some people just like everything, I just say what I like and keep my mouth shut if I don't care for it.

I agree with T

Hey, that leaves 232 posters that suck less.  Not bad methinks.

In a year or two 98% or those will suck as well

It would take him about 3 gallons of shredder oil alone just to dispose of all of the Bieber/Sex in the City material............

[Crazy Vick]

To be fair I hate everyone else's posters EQUALLY

Jealousy runs deep in these parts. 

No Schan, I will not let you have my Biebers.  You can look at them, but you can't touch them.  They're mine.

That's the most polite thing to do, although it can be a little boring.  Going to the other extreme is a little tiresome, though, such as the 3 folks I mentioned above who regularly acted like DBs IMO, two of whom aren't here anymore, and one who went on a few personal insult rampages against me, and primarily used this place as their vomit blog,.  Of course, everyone can be a DB sometimes.  


Getting back on track...Justin Bieber Foreverrrrrrr.......

[kovacs01]

acted like DBs IMO

Well, we definitely do not want anyone acting like a daybill or any other Aussie paper.  I prefer to act like a bus shelter or a door panel.

Schan is on a roll.
