Mid-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....

I must say it is quite refreshing to have a slightly analogical take on the old theme through Monocle's points.

His post seems to gel with with what has been posited by other movie poster posts (too many posts?), but with the spin being on all things antiques, and how that may reflect on what is more largely discussed on this forum.

All very interesting and well put too.

As far as his offspring are concerned, regarding this movie arena, while in some respects it might appear to be a rear guard battle to infuse the historical in spite of the modern, at least in time, I hope, they see that a balance has been afforded them and they will benefit at least in terms of broader ranges of understanding and conversation.

Cheers.

I was a scout leader a few years ago and taught a cinematography badge class.  I brought a copy of The Maltese Falcon in order to demonstrate noir lighting techniques.  You'd have thought I asked them to poke their eyes out with hot irons.

Oh dear.  This is hilarious.

Similarly, or not, I was talking about WWII with some people who were not a million years from my age (48), maybe a decade younger, and they had no idea what Colditz was, or its import.  And this is the stuff of Boys Own heroic stories, not the politics of the time.  That said, I daresay I would be crumpled by what was going on in the music charts right now, even if the music charts still exist as an entity!  'Nuff said perhaps.

My children were in the scouts. Are you quite sure there wasn't a badge specifically awarded for poking peoples eyes out with hot irons? There seemed to be a badge for everything else.

Ought we to move this discussion to a forum post of it's own? Perhaps 'Opening the eyes of the next generation' would be a possible title or has that got to many hot poker connotations? Anyway, this probably isn't a good time to admit that I've never seen 'The Godfather' either. Of course I'm aware of it but I have a problem with films that are too grimly or credibly violent. I'll lap up film noir and even enjoy Dirty Harry wreaking revenge on the villains but when it gets too near the knuckle or turns sadistic, I'm off!

yep..the music biz has been decimated by "free" downloads
but so has everything else media.
Music though is in a class of it's own when it comes to theft

Monocle, your comments here are very interesting and informative, and you seem like a true gentleman.

 



Aye aye aye.    

When I went to see Spartacus (1960) in the theater a few months ago, the guy in the box office had never heard of the film.

Agree totally first sentence. Monocle thanks for giving us good food for thought.

On the second  Spartacus is such a classic. ..!!!

Some people..

Sounds to me like you should start such a thread.
Don't be shy.

I came across this HS being sold as a BIN, on the bay, for the 1933 Sherlock Holmes film, A Study in Scarlet.

The seller is asking $15,000 or best offer.

The seller states that this might be an only known copy. Is other material from this film also as rare and pricey?

Sounds good to me.

Do i get a choice of colors?   

[wonka]

Best part about those toe pics is how they act like they couldn't find anything else at random to hold the poster down, in what is clearly a complete train wreck of a messy room.

[erik1925]

And it looks like they have and play Rummikub!

Description & Condition: You are bidding on a 1971 rare and hard-to-find rolled Australian advance one-sheet poster with a light scratch lower left-hand-side border edge and a couple of minor scuffs along the bottom edge (see photos of actual poster) but otherwise in fine to very fine condition. This is the very rare advance sheet with the nude girls to the right side of Malcolm McDowell’s head. The regular advance sheet had those nude images blacked out. This is not a reproduction or reprint poster, it is a genuine original vintage 1971 Australian theatre release colour one-sheet poster distributed by Warner Brothers and dated ©1971 bottom right corner of the poster.

Is it what it purports to be Ari?
