You were right, T. 
That GWTW looks better in person (and your pics convey that very nicely).  thumbup

Those guys knew how to use colors.  The red on GWTW is as bright as the blue on WOTW.  Really stunning in person.

The wife kicked all the others out.

 laugh1 At least she allows one.  To many women, that would probably be considered a magnanimous compromise.  ;D

Beautiful GWTW and frame.  That GWTW has to be the best paper for the film, and it displays real well linen-backed.

...just show her images of Mels - wall to wall of his framed posters. I am sure she would cave and say 1 or 2 more in the house would be ok.

I once did, I think when Mel first showed it to us, and her answer was: "Does he have a girlfriend?"  (Sorry Mel, it's true :))

Great posters T



I don't think the Dog likes it empty...

Thats because he knows he has to step into the biological replicator contraption and be turned into a white dog.

Funny!

It's impossible to take pictures without the mutts.  They follow me everywhere I go.  Yes, even in the shitter.

Beautiful panel for GWTW, Thierry... they just dont make them like that anymore. And I agree..that has to be some of the most vibrant paper for the film!

Now that (THE KILLER) is a poster worthy of framing.
Really nice, Evan.

Very nice T - that's why I like the LBs - they display very well.

As far as the ladies, like you said about Abused Wife, they have absolute zero interest in posters.  Not a negative, not a positive, they just don't care.  If you broach the subject, they politely feign mild interest and then move on to other subjects.  So the unstated deal is I don't talk about posters to them and they don't talk about shoes, clothes, Oprah, and other subjects I couldn't care less about.  So it all works out - or doesn't....

That is not universally true about women and posters... my wife loves our posters!  She could care less about the collecting aspects, and about the hoards paper I have stored away never to see the light of day, but everything that is on the walls went up with her enthusiastic approval.  She can't wait to get the new French Bogart up either! 

We first started talking about it posters in terms of art... I think that helped.

I never even owned a poster before I met my girlfriend. Her older sister worked at the movie theatre I work at now and she had a bunch of posters from the last five or six years on her walls. She encouraged me to decorate my walls and sparked the entire campaign that would be my movie poster collection.

Now she hates them. She doesn't care about movie posters and says its all I talk about. I wonder what makes you so special, because it certainly hasn't worked out for me. When I first started collecting I never thought in a hundred years she would be so lackadaisical about movie posters, but there've been times where it causes a fight.

The most recent girlie to venture into my cave - ignoring all the posters - did say "great bookshelves!"

So I got that going for me....  :)

She was just trying to avoid discussing the elephant in the room(s) or inadvertently getting on your bad side while praying you didn't kill her before the night was over.  ;)

Hmmm, now that I think about it she did look genuinely frightened by my NOTLD poster in the bathroom.

But really who WOULDN'T put that poster in the bathroom?  Just like a Norman Rockwell IMHO

Work in progress, put it that way.  

Good news is that she's classy - kind of girl you want to marry.  

Bad news is that she's classy - the XXX posters have been banished for the foreseeable future.

No more

The question is if you had those things down BEFORE she came in.

... It may well have turned into a scandalous night!!!  ;)

I think if it goes good with this lady, Mel, then I do believe just a few of your posters will be taken down over time to appease her.
Best wishes,
Adam

I was born 20 years too late.  Cheesy-sleazy is no longer social acceptable.  :(

My Dad's old law firm used to throw wild parties in the 1970s.  Dad always said that "it wasn't a party under some secretary took off her clothes and jumped naked into the pool."
