Elvis posters!
« on: January 21, 2010, 09:03:48 PM »
Anybody collect these?   Don't have any yet but hopefully eventually will.  Elvis himself trashed his own movies and blamed them for his loss of popularity in the late 60s.  But some of the posters are very cool IMHO.

This Elvis on Tour poster went for $117 on Emovie tonight - check out those bell-bottoms baby!



I also like this 1978 Thierry hates "French Grande" re-release of King Creole:



Naturally, there are plenty of cheesy Elvis posters out there too:



What ya got?

It's tough to buy some of the crossover posters like this.  You get Elvis collectors after them plus collectors of movie posters. advertising posters, and music posters in general.

Whenever I see Elvis I think of this girl I dated about 8 years ago.  She was a huge fan of Elvis, and she actually had a profile of him tattooed to her left shoulderblade.  You know how I found this out?  As the Artist Formerly Known as Prince would say, dig if you will the picture.... of her and I engaged in the act -- roll over honey, hop on from behind and WHAP!@!!  There's Elvis staring back at me with one eye!  That's one of the freakiest things that's ever happened to me in the dating world.
Best regards,

Holiday

Thierry:  Type the word APF on MPF and it spells: "Banned due to malicious unsolicited private message ".

Charlie to the guy who lost to EatBrie:  You just got "T-boned"!  Happens to the best of us...  Wait until you get "Holidazed"!

Thierry to Silhouette:  Please tell her it's a tiny part of my collection so she doesn't think I'm a total creep.  Oh wait, no, I am a total creep.
