Alamo Drafthouse / Rolling Road Show Poster Update

[jpicken]

I might be in the minority, but i have never gotten the appeal of this movie.  It doesn't really age well either IMO.  New Mondo artist James Flames has done some ok work with past gig posters and stuff. Has potential, but this one is a pass for me.  Let all the Goonies freaks have this one.

As I was posting this, it dropped. Looks like it sold out in 3 mins or so.

HERETIC!!!

I think it's one of those movies that if it hits you at the right time and you're into adventure, it stays with you forever. At least that's what happened for me.

Yep both versions sold out. On a side note, This Island Earth non-variant still available.

Something about it looks too cartoon-ish for me.

Mike, that is exactly the thought that crossed my mind when I first saw the poster, too... it's a bit too "cartoony" looking.

In looking at the standard print, I could almost think it was for an animated version of the story that had been made.

These The Goonies prints from James Flames are neat, IMO:

Standard



Variant

Just got home for a shopping spree in Paris and completely forgot about the prints, which goes to say that I really didn't give a shit about them.

You are not the only one.  I remember walking out of the theater thinking that it was OK, but barely worth the time, much like with Ghostbusters.

As for Ken Taylor, doing single artist shows floods the market for that particular artist and are simply not a good idea...

Generally agree here, especially with Taylor, but the Durieux show is the exception at this point. Outside of the Creature print, each piece was/is pretty unique and special, IMO.

Re: Goonies
One film that hasn't aged well at all, to be sure.
Poster is passable for fanatics of the film I guess (not me), but a credit block would have helped.

Wish there was new properties. After a 007 and Indy series, I can retire.

[eatbrie]

So far, I am really NOT impressed.  Not a single print I would purchase (which is kind of awesome since this is the first year in many I don't stop by SDCC.  I'm sanding and staining my deck instead).


But the weekend is STILL young.  I have the feeling something good is around the corner.

Hmm...

[jpicken]

Nothing so far that I need to pick up on the secondary market.  The toy idea is interesting, but those are not available yet anyway.

Hopefully they have something interesting still up their sleeves. 
This is just wishful thinking, but when is the FoTR Horkey gonna hit?
There is also a lot of Fight Club news at the ComicCon. I follow Chuck P. on twitter, and there is a lot of buzz from the FC2 comic stuff. Big panel tonight. Mondo has the Fight Club license. Would be a perfect time to drop a badass new print.
It's been a while since Tyler as done anything for them. Something new now would be cool, but it's also the 20th anniversary of Pulp Fiction in October.  Maybe then? 

[eatbrie]

I know I'm a minority, but I didn't get Fight Club at all.  It is the only Fincher movie I didn't like and I don't own a single poster for the movie.  It was interesting to see some of its posters sell for $300+ at Emovie.  I could have got them for free from Fox in 99 but never tried.  No regrets.

Those Fight Club Soap/Advance posters are somewhat rare for recent posters and hard to put together a set.

The Suncoast versions don't seem to be nearly as difficult as the real ones...

LOL. Suncoast. I used to love that store.  Just think of an entire store inside an expensive mall that only sells VHS and DVD movies.  When my mom would take me to the mall, I would beeline to Suncoast to see the new releases and browse through the horror and sci-fi titles. I wonder how often each day people would ask the clerks if they had any new information about when Star Wars was coming out on DVD?  Like beepers, film cameras and AOL, Suncoast did not survive the 90s.

I didn't want to see the movie, but my girlfriend at the time (another cocktail waitress, this one from the Tropicana) wanted to, which was unusual for me.
They always wanted to see the romantic comedies, rather than violent romances

Tyler Stout checks in with Guardians of the Galaxy.  It's a by-the-numbers print for him(which isn't necessarily bad). This one is very busy.
However, I really need to see this movie to be interested in the poster.  I know very little about the movie other than the thought that a foul-mouthed raccoon has potential.

[guest8]

Pictures of Tylers work always look "too busy", it's only because you cannot focus on the different areas. The small details and hidden gems in his work is part of what makes them so good.

[eatbrie]

And just to know how talented Tyler is, one only needs to check Budish's work, an artist who has been trying to emulate Stout's style for years and doesn't even come close.  The placement of scenes and characters is key and Tyler is a master at it.

New Stout this morning...

[eatbrie]

Small world.  I went to DreamWorks today for lunch and Mondo was doing a Q&A.

[brude]

Lucky bastard.
Last lunchtime Q&A I had was roadside with Johnny Law.

"Yes officer...No, officer..."

[eatbrie]

So I went through all my prints (350+) and checked their average price on EB as of today.  I did the same thing in August last year.  I won't bother you with the actual cash value of the collection, but it turns out the value of all my prints has increased by 10% over a year period.  Not bad.  So Mondo is still relevant after all.

Biggest gainer: Tyler Stout.  
Runner up: Laurent Durieux.
Biggest loser: Martin Ansin.  The guy has drastically changed his style over the last few years, and the lack of quality of his recent stuff drags the price of his older and much better prints down.

Sure, but no photo credit, please.  I don't care for EB.

Thanks. No prob, understood.

Nice photos T. Was it an interesting Q&A? Was it just a show and tell or was Justin trying to persuade you industry types to hand over more licensing rights?
