You boys are wacky!

More like "Babe, I'll ditch this crazy collection to pay for our wedding and honeymoon!"

Yeah, unfortunately, poster exploitation art is not true to life

All you have to say to her is: "I just am looking for someone to fill this void in my life.  For example, I've spent $70,000 on movie posters to trying to satisfy my loneliness...  I imagine if I ever did find the right girl; I would spoil her like a princess..."  You would most definitely get laid...

 

And if not, just kill her, and then get laid, but make it quick so that the plan works.

You're a lawyer. You know how to get away with it.

"Your Honor, the massive 6 foot tall glass frame fell off the wall as she tried to straighten it and then admire the beauty of the first James bond poster (laugh and giggles from the seating gallery) , and it cut her up pretty bad. I did warn, i mean, i asked her to be careful but she wasn't"

"Yes, my fingerprints are all over her and the glass shards that protrude from her naked body, but this is my house!"

Case dismissed!
Simple. The US justice system in action.

I was on TV once.
Pall bearer at a funeral on the 6 o'clock news.
It was a sunny day and my shaved noggin played havoc with the camera lens.
Cast glares all over the friggin' place...blinding, actually...
Ahhh well.
Coulda been worse.  I coulda been in the casket.
Always count yer blessings.

Well I guess if it makes you happy I will allow Argentinean women to be truly exploited

[110x75]

I would like that 

[CSM]

I would like that 

Thought you would!

Well, I decided not to "audition" (whatever that means) for the show.  I found out the title of the show is "My Crazy Obsession" on TLC and that's just too derogatory even if it is basically true!  I'm convinced everyone has a crazy obsession but many "obsessions" are accepted by society. Many men obsess about certain athletic teams and women obsess about fashion and shoes. Organized religion arguably is an "obsession."  In the grand scheme of things, all "obsessions" are probably a waste of time and rather frivolous but at least many movie posters have artistic merit, so I'd say this hobby is less frivolous than most.  IMHO of course....

Wise decision Mel. They would have surely tried to make you look foolish.

Yeah, the production assistant was very respectful and sincere and said the show was going to refocus on true collectors rather than exploiting the nutcases but the title is unacceptable.  If they change the title to "The Hobby That Got Out Of Control" I'd consider applying.

Of course, I do think at least one member of this forum should apply

Imagine if you followed this guy... Good move dude!

What's wrong with being associated with the guy with the sex doll collection?

[bigmike]

Ya, Good Choice Mel.

Even if you look at the rest of the shows episodes. They are obsessions- not hobbies.

Was good to decline going on.

a good friend of mine was interviewed for a trendy magazine once because of her dildo/vibrator collection. I have seen it and its IMPRESSIVE!

Seems to me she should have a website devoted to the display, preservation and usage of these things.
Y'know, complete with pics and videos.
Not that I'd be a regular visitor or something...I mean...y'know...I'd check it out, maybe.

I do have a gif or two that would work here, but Holiday and T would cut my nuts off...

So i would say collecting never ends for certain people..If it wasn`t posters it would be something else,I admire your passion for our hobby,but perhaps try to be more focused on specific goal posters rather than accumulating what might become,the second largest collection of posters that no one else wants or cares for.
If anything I have typed sounds harsh in any way,it wasn`t meant.

Agree 99% Stew.  Point I take issue with is that one should collect what gives pleasure, and screw value.  By definition, whatever you decide to collect will be worth less to others, or you never would have gotten it in the first place.

If you have a passion for Chris Colombus' movies, them by all means collect them.  It is irrelevant that others are hung up on '50s horror or Alamo Drafthouse prints.

Face it, my classic musical collection is junk to most, but I like it.  Worth it to me.
