To continue on Deke's diversion, I do have this Renau Spanish Civil War poster, but appy polly loggies to the board, it is not a new acquisition:



--Peter

That is really cool, Peter.  According to the Chapaev wikipedia page: "In a 1978 poll of cinema critics, the film was considered one of the best 100 films in history."  I guess I need to get out more because when it comes to early Soviet cinema I am only familiar with Eisenstein.

I also found the film mentioned in the context of the Spanish Civil War in the Google Books entry for La Guerra Civil Española y las Brigadas Internacionales.  With my middling Spanish skills, I think the gist is that the film was often played at the front for Republican troops.  However, the final reel was omitted because the death of the hero Tchapaief/Chapaev was known to upset the troops.

I agree- that is really interesting reading Peter, and I for sure appreciate it - I thought I knew about the Spanish Civil War!

Yeah, good one Rosa, congrats! He had very handsome handwriting. I only found out recently that he died very young, how sad.

Picked up this Australian program for Morocco.
Excited to read it and find out what is a star.  My money is on Dietrich and Cooper, though.   bed1

not a great poster really, but I LOVE the film, and this poster is passable at least, so glad to have it.
Why do my favourite new films have such mediocre posters?

anyway happy to have something on this fine film (all the movie needs is someone to rework the soundtrack to get rid of the insulting voice over)

That's one of the coolest Gattaca posters I've seen.  I like how they incorporated the text and photos with the DNA double helix. cool1

Is that for the Aussie video release?

Recently, my GPS led me (in my truck) onto a seasonal road that became a footpath before devolving into an ancient riverbed.
I thought I was a goner.
Couldn't help but think of SORCERER as I sweated out that trip.
Great poster, Ari.

Well, its like this.
I deliver 8 post offices in a 255-mile loop.
And each day, I get a few pieces of freight for businesses and residentials that fall within my region.
The businesses ain't bad, but the residentials can be a nightmare.

This particular delivery was to a little town named Lorraine in Central NY, on the southern side of Tug Hill.
Needless to say, extremely rural.
It was a 70" smart TV for a dude who lived in a shack (I kid you not).
Quite often I find myself on dirt roads, but this one fooled me and I soon found myself unable to turn around.
I was lucky to get out of that riverbed alive.

But what happened to the TV?  ;)
