Yeah, I can definitely see that you have pared down your collection.  That Twister translite is pretty cool!

Yep, I would take the standee any day of the week.

[Joe]

for the information, the striptease standee was like a garbage, I bought for 2 € in a flea market and I sold it some months after for 10 €, the standee was damaged by water on the bottom, folded in wrong place, it was stocked in a home with smokers, there was holes on the whole display, like someone picked pins on it

I received the got milk ad with another poster, for MJ, I like this display, and I don't pay much for it

but the real deal, is why Have I sold a lot of displays and posters last months, just because I wanted to buy this baby, a samsung LED     and a lot, lot lot lot of dvds to come with it, this is a great way to see movies

ok Joe, apology accepted

[Joe]

the blu-ray is still expensive, and I'm not really interested in it, I have a lot of dvd zone 1 ( us ) and zone 2 (europe ) and the blu-ray player will only play dvd from the zone of the country where you live

but I have a dvd player pioneer with hdmi connexion, which convert the quality for the tv, so I'm sure it's not good as a blu-ray, but it's really great,

POTC is fantastic on this screen, especially the brightness of the colors

Negative, the Oppo player will play any DVD or BD from any region.

I just got my new frames which I command to my uncle, he's a professional framer and can make frames on all size, I give him on december size of different posters and he made my frames just like the three he made to me last year

all I have to do now is to paint them with a black lasure to look like the others
I already mounted the kindergarten cop with a 3M glue spray on a foam board to have a perfect flat posters without any wrinkles

I'll post pics of the finished frames in a few days









here are the three frames he did last year

[brude]

Awesome, Joe...simply awesome...

[Joe]

here is the first steps of the painting, it's the results after three layers of ebony stain
I think I'll add two or three layers of stain to have a good results, it's not the same stain as the other frames, the shop stopped to produced the older one

[kovacs01]

I really like those translites Joe.  I have been meaning to pick up the Indy one for a while but haven't gotten around to it for some reason.

[Joe]

the indy one is really expensive, around 300 bucks if I remember, translites are difficult to find at a good price

...5 layers of stain later, the frames took a gret black-brown color exactly like my dvd shelters from ikea, I just have one frame to repaint ( the second frames from kindergarten cop, which has some bad drops of stain on the bottom )
