I guess I get to put the first post here. I'm happy with this B2 for Man and a Woman.

Im still warming up to older pieces .. But I really like that poster! I havent seen the movie so I dont know if it holds any significance, but I could do without the car stuff in the background ..

I really go for the main images, especially romantic ones like this. Somehow it seems to me that the Japanese poster designers are better at this. The best examples I have are the two-panel Japanese posters. Typically, they have the main theme on top and then images like that car on the bottom, so that one is not distracted in the different areas. With the B2, they have to cram more into the smaller space.

I have noticed that they can seem to get a little busy at the bottoms .. That seems to be a culture thing though .. I think I read recently that even Google had changed their main page to be more pleasing to the Japanese .. I forgot to look at it when I read that .. But apparently it has a lot more "stuff" than the plain google site we all have come to know so well ..

As for this piece .. I would love just a full poster of her face .. Its really stunning actually!

This B1 for Jasmine Women is beautiful.

That Robbery Under Arms isn't for the aussie movie is it!?!?!

What a great poster, Carson. I have the one pictured below. The Clash may be the greatest band that has ever existed, and at the least, London Calling is one of the greatest albums ever made.

Carson...the Clash are one of my favs and that's a nice, simple poster!

Holy crap you're good, Ves. It is indeed! Would you believe I picked this up as part of a lot of b2's, and basically paid 3 bucks for it. It is, to say the least, an awesome find.

Well there is a little collector here in Australia who is VERY jealous in deed. Should you ever choose to part with it, you know where it will be loved...

holiday · « **Reply #12 on:** December 17, 2009, 11:45:22 PM »

Same with mine. I wish I could find the Joy Division poster in a B1. I've only managed the B2.

Sorta like the Godfather - one day you're gonna have a poster that I've just got to have....

awesome London Calling carson....in agreement it's probably one of the best albums of all time. I used to get my little to sleep through repeatedly playing 'right profile'.

guest8 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 18, 2009, 03:27:41 PM »

That is amazing !! For sure something that will have to go on my want list !!

Is it a rare item?

Ziyi Zhang is a beautiful woman for sure.

Wonder if she smells like jasmine?

I've been wanting this for a while and snagged this one from movieposterbargains for $50. (Yes, the infamous Greg Egbert!) It's been rumored only 500 of these "looking down" versions were printed but I believe that is grossly underestimated - probably 5,000 of these floating around.

This is positively an original. The reverse has the special yellow coloring on the ring to make it "pop" in a lightbox. Now I need to get a lightbox!

This is absolutely correct.
Dealers who propagate stories about limited runs on posters like this
either don't know how it works or are simply trying to substantiate the myth.

There is no question that overall this version is harder to find than the other, but
500? No way.

Hey Phil:

I really like that Suburban Mayhem poster I got from you. Since it is an Australian movie, I bet there are less than 500 of those floating around. What do you estimate was the print run?

cinemarts · « **Reply #20 on:** December 18, 2009, 07:27:03 PM »

I'll try to get a fairly accurate number on that, so I'll ask.
Probably one of the hottest collected one sheets for an Australian movie
and thanks to its design, will have legs.

I've just had in some new one sheets, and the poster
for the Lars Von Trier film, ANTICHRISTO (ANTICHRIST) was also done
by Jeremy Saunders (who did MAYHEM).

It's a powerful image, particularly if you have seen the film.

Wanted to take the opportunity to share these with the new names on this new amalgamation-like forum (because I am just so damn proud of them

).

For the most part, I think all large format, b1 Japanese material is somewhat rare from the perspective of other types of posters that are out there. You can pick this image up in the smaller b2 format pretty easily. But so far, this is the only B1 that I've seen turn up.

Great great material!

WOW! The Mummy poster is just... just... just FANTASTIC.

Period.
