I just bought a tits and ass poster for next to nothing, it should be great

You are my idol.

Well, if my animated projects get some traction this year (one is being reviewed as I type this), I am going to concentrate on dethroning Ralph as the greatest poster collector ever.
I'll start by buying that BRIDE OF FRANKY teaser....
A few HANNAH daybills and a rolled PRETTY WOMAN or two -- and the man will be history.

Good luck in this most noble of quests

And, once I'm done with Ralphie,
I'm gonna give that Hammett kid a good talking to...

Four main goals for 2013:

1) Try to reduce the "gee wouldn't it be nice if I could get these restored pile"

2) Try to reduce the "gee wouldn't it be nice if I could frame these pile"

3) More daybills and more noir (noir daybills being the ideal )

4) Try to avoid the attack of Ari's giant Aussie Arse

Yep, same here. Need to sort out the framing pile. First up, Sideways Quad in white frame.

Sounds exciting, best of luck!

To stop looking at posters and focus on looking for a man instead! Posters are a passion killer for girls too!!!

What a revelation!  This might be the best post of the year

I'm guessing right about now Gemma is being bombarded with emails.....

OK, I think I have figured out a way to start out the new year. 

1 - I am going to make a list of 10 to 15 posters that I have always wanted equal to my annual expenditures from 2012.
2 - I am not going to buy any other poster off that list until I finish it (with the exception of new and unusual Stargates, Black Swans, or Portman posters).
3 - I will frame or hang each and every one of these posters (1 is a 6 sheet and one is a 3 sheet so far)
4 - I am allowed to trade or sell existing posters in my collection to get posters that are not on the list. This includes consignments.
5 - My wife has agreed to not request any of the funds saved while trying to obtain these 10 - 15 posters. 
6 - What ever posters are not obtained by the end of the year will roll over into next years list.
7 - No you can't know the list, but if you are savvy I am sure you can figure it out.
8 - Wish me luck and feel free to send me free posters to get over the withdrawal.

To own 10,000 movie posters.

Just kidding.  But maybe not.

I have been trying something like this for the last year or so. I have failed. Worse than failed. To feed the addiction I have in a few cases bought posters here and there that werent on any list I had before. I am now having trouble piecing together a video of this years purchases that makes any sense at all.

Must feed that poster monkey

I'm approaching 8,000.  Just kidding, though.  10,000 is far away.  I honestly don't see myself buying more poster next year than I did this year.  The economy is getting better, people are getting richer, there is more competition and I'm getting older and cheaper.  So it will probably take me a couple of years (maybe 3) to get to 10,000.  Plus, I'm buying more relatively expensive pieces (above $1k), which slows me down a lot.  I was just looking at Mel's site, and he has a copy of the front page of my website from April 14, 2011, at which time I owned 5,442 posters.  That scared the shit out of me.  It means I bought 2,423 posters in 1 1/2 year.

So my new resolution... TO SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!!!

And none of them framed!

All be a year of changes for me.
1) going back to study and get my masters degree.
2)looks as if my ex and my daughter are moving to Melbourne.
Which means, I have less incentive to live in Sydney,
But I don't really want to live in Melbourne
Except apart from my daughter, I do have a lot of friends there.
And it's much more affordable than Sydney.
Although I could perhaps live in the country somewhere, not over here which is so far from anywhere.
However there is a family reason I need to be here for a while at least.

Also I have just been accepted into an arts program here in town, which I'd like to do, at least a semester.

Decisions.....

Wish Australia wasn't so big with nothing in between. Living out west is very isolated. S I will end up on the eat coast somewhere at some stage. I just feel like a traitor in Melbourne.

Maybe wadonga will have to do.

I heard Ves is renting a room.  I am sure she'd just love to have you Mr. Masters Program Richards 

Maybe you can take the Shed of the Damned with you?

[Ari]

Nah Ves is renting a ROO, I am too tall to fit in it's pouch.

Is that what you guys are having to resort to now?  Don't you have a giant, mainly unpopulated desert?

It's gonna be interesting. I have done quite well as a self-employed up until now, but the word is that times are lean for self-employed advisors. Thankfully our house is renovated now.Gonna start a new concept with a former colleague which is gonna be exciting but uncertain. I sure hope I don't have to make a living with the gallery. That's gonna take a lot of fun out of it. Besides I'm afraid I'm not very good at it, I think I sold 15-20 posters this year, largely due to my complete lack of trying.
