Hope not.

Might be LA CONFIDENTIAL, which could be amazing.

Durieux has this preview of the next print for his Mondo show. Any guesses?

Well from a google effort. The Hunter?

Its a 50s Styleline Deluxe...

wonka · « **Reply #3328 on:** December 30, 2013, 08:28:11 PM »

Is The Hunter a 20th Century Fox release?

wonka · « **Reply #3329 on:** January 23, 2014, 03:15:49 PM »

While certainly not the home run that this title deserves, I find these two from today very cool and very fun. Love the retro vibe and colors. Much better than the Tong take last year to be sure.
Dig the slight changes on the variant (especially The Thorwalds) with the last names over the windows too.

Laurent Durieux is a rock star! They're printing 800 of these, which probably ain't enough....

Interesting way to hide the title in that print

Brilliant design.
Really like it!

Come on studios - get posters like these printed and we will have a whole new wave of collectors!

wonka · « **Reply #3334 on:** February 06, 2014, 03:39:41 PM »

^ or.....folks could just collect Mondo as they see fit, since that is basically their mission statement, the whole bringing back film art thing...

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #3335 on:** February 06, 2014, 07:52:27 PM »

Wish I knew somebody in Austin to get all this good stuff. Thought about flying down there but too expensive. Durieux is just crushing it....

wonka · « **Reply #3336 on:** February 06, 2014, 10:43:54 PM »

Vertigo and Rear Window variants. Unreal.

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #3337 on:** February 07, 2014, 08:06:53 AM »

So how many?

wonka · « **Reply #3338 on:** February 07, 2014, 02:34:54 PM »

One hand's worth of Forbidden Planet regs.

eatbrie · « **Reply #3339 on:** February 08, 2014, 09:42:54 PM »

I only got 3 out of the Durieux batch...

Back to the Future 2 variant
The Birds
Rear Window variant

No interest in the rest.

Are there enough in that stack, to go around?

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #3341 on:** February 11, 2014, 07:48:01 PM »

How long did the online sale last today?

I paid close to triple initial sale price on Saturday to a flipper for these fab prints, all variants except Vertigo (because I think the reg is superior). The Expresso Mondo nerds claim that Birds and BTTF variants won't even make it to online sale.

wonka · « **Reply #3342 on:** February 11, 2014, 10:10:26 PM »

^ 'poster nerd' civil war?

Birds and BTTF variants are gone, and I hear that the RW variant stack is extremely small, not sure if they even make it for the online drop.

Just beautiful work. LD is the best artist working in the Mondo stable at this point. His line hatching and shading is second to none.

And I agree, the Vertigo reg > variant hands down.

guest8 · « **Reply #3343 on:** February 12, 2014, 07:44:20 AM »

I cant argue that LD isn't talented .. other than BTTF none of these titles really speak to me and the title work on BTTF ruins it for me. I feel more like its an art print than a movie poster now. Which isnt a bad thing, Im just hoping for a iconic BTTF poster that comes close tot he iconic 1S.

I think it complements the 1S well. Not sure it could ever be surpassed anyway, so why try?

You must be anti-Hitchcock too.

eatbrie · « **Reply #3345 on:** February 12, 2014, 11:47:59 AM »

I don't think you have to be anti-Hitchcock to not like those prints. It's all a matter of taste and perspective. For instance, I hate the Vertigo and Psycho prints but I love the Rear Window and Birds ones. I love Jaws but I hate Frankenstein (even though I own it). If I love and hate the work of the same artist, I can totally understand why someone wouldn't like him at all.

Sure, but you like a few of the Hitch prints.
I think all of LDs Hitch designs compliment the existing paper on the films very well, and work very well as screenprints, an extremely hard medium to work on.

Anyone here buy any of Jay Shaws stuff? I guess I just don't "get" his art style.

Tob · « **Reply #3348 on:** February 20, 2014, 11:44:37 AM »

I like that A Field in England poster, but I picked up the one sheet from the Drafthouse website for $7.99 so don't need a screen print - http://drafthousefilms.com/film/a-field-in-england

He gets a lot of hate, but Mondo are all about cult and I like some of the stuff he tackles and produces...even if I don't often buy it myself (I like to look and think about it, just not own it). I quite like the variety of cult releases mixed with blockbuster releases.

eatbrie · « **Reply #3349 on:** February 20, 2014, 12:44:03 PM »

Nope. So far this year I've only purchased 3 Durieux and that's it. Very happy with them, especially The Birds. Everything else Mondo has put up has left me cold. Really cold for the most part, like today's offerings.
