And I'm back... This, I think, will be my final post of new posters. I had a few leftover posters from last time...and got others to fill out this post and get this done. I can't afford anything anymore and really, with my diminishing health, I should STOP collecting.
TANYA'S ISLAND:
This was a cheap grab. I've never seen the movie, but have long wanted this poster. It's so doofy looking. This movie has been on my radar since its release--and it is amazingly hard to find. (As I said, I have NOT seen it yet.) From what I understand, it's basically KING KONG, but with a normal-sized ape (aka man in a bad moneky suit--based on the pictures I've seen) and a bit naughtier. (Hence the R-rating.) D.D. Winters is better known as Vanity, Prince's protegee back in the 80s. She apparently spends a good deal of the time naked. It's supposed to be bad. (No surprise.) I'd still like to see it.
HOT DOG: THE MOVIE:
I don't know why I bought this. I'm ultra broke and it was cheap, I guess.
THE NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT (aka LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN):
I have this poster already. However, it's one of those movie posters I have been drawn to and have bought several copies of. Of course, this was cheap, so... Why not? The poster is interesting. "The windows look out on hell?" THAT sounds cool. However, this poster and title are misleading. This movie does NOT take place in a house. In fact, almost the entire movie takes place on a train. (If you'll notice, the woman in the picture in the chair is sitting on a train seat--NOT a living room chair.) NEW HOUSE ON THE LEFT? What's the connection to LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, or is there? Other than being very similarly themed, there isn't one. This movie was also released as LAST STOP ON THE NIGHT TRAIN, NIGHT TRAIN MURDERS, CHRISTMAS MASSACRE, TORTURE TRAIN, SECOND HOUSE ON THE LEFT, and LAST HOUSE - PART II (which, strangely, is also an alternate name for BAY OF BLOOD/TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE).
HEADHUNTER (Video):
This is a HORRIBLE, ultra-boring movie that went straight to video back in the VHS days. Yes, I saw it way back when. Why buy this poster? Well, it is a cool poster. (Hello? It got me to rent it back then.) Plus, I needed something to pad out this probable final posting.
STAR WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES:
This is one of the two STAR WARS holdovers from the last post. I wasn't sure I had this or not. (It turns out I did.) So--it wasn't expensive, so...
THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT:
This is the other STAR WARS holdover from the previous post. I know this is for a TV show, but I have never seen it. I'm not sure if this is a teaser or promoting a specific season or something else. Whatever. Into the drawer it go-goes...
THE SUCKERS:
This poster is for a movie that is nudie-ish/sexed-up version of THE MOST DEANEROUS GAME from the late 60s/early 70s. It's a so-so movie, but I have seen it. It was apparently "lost" for many years. It was cheap...
KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (final):
The PLANET OF THE APES series (well, at least the original one) is a sentimental favorite. The make-ups in the original series waere not realistic at all--but amazingly they worked somehow. My love for those films led me to buy one sheets for the series. Even though the new APES films are a diffierent series (based on the same materieal), my affinity for the originals has me continuing to collect the posters for the franchise. The new movie series' apes are computer animated (CGI). But I still go. I ordered this final one sheet for the latest flick in the series, KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, before I got to see it. (Of course, the poster got smashed in shipping and there is a tiny flaw down the length of the poster. Grr...) The movie was okay, but the whole while I was watching, I realized that the entire movie (except for the two human characters...and the few extras at the watering hole and those at the end) is basically a realistic animated movie. Oh well...
GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE (Final):
KING KONG and GODZILLA are also favorites of mine. However, I will be honest in saying I have NOT liked the new movies they've been in. They're too much like superhero movies (which I'm not a fan of). This, like the APES movie above, was also esentially a realistic cartoon with some human actors in it....not nearly as fun as the man-in-a-suit-trampling-miniatures movies of old. BUT, I went and saw it anyway. ...and, of course, bought a poster. I'll never hang it though (unlike my some of my older KONG and GODZILLA one sheets).
2069: A SEX ODYSSEY:
I have another copy of this--but it has a lot more fold lines than this tri-fold. Crap movie--but cool poster.
TAROT:
This came and went withOUT hitting the theater here on the island where I live. However, I saw the poster and really liked it. Sold! The movie probably sucks (I've heard zero about the movie since it's release. Hmm.), but... sometimes posters are better than the movie.
ASSAULT ON A QUEEN:
I've always wanted to see this flick. It's about a mid-Atlantic heist aboard the Queen Mary. Frank Sinatra stars. Of course, the real Queen Mary was alredy retired and stationed in port in Long Beach which made filming easier. Ha! Rod Serling wrote the screenplay. I still want to see it.
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MAN:
This may not look like much, but this is my prize purchase for this post. You may not know the movie, but it's one of the jaw-dropping odd, nudie-esque potboilers from Doris Wishman. This is from her middle period (after her nudist camp movies, but before her films got completely unwatchable). Titles like BAD GIRLS GO TO HELL, MY BROTHER'S WIFE, THE AMAZING TRANSPLANT, DOUBLE AGENT 73, etc. are just some amazingly mind-boggling. I'm thrilled to have another one of her titles in my collection.
And that's my thirteen (a few extras this time--why hold them?). And yes...this maybe the last regular posting. More and more I find myself buying stuff (filler) to pad out the posts so I can get them up and done. Why bother? While I'll always keep looking for certain things, I doubt I'll buy much. If I do manage to buy anything, I'll post them as they come. Otherwise, I'll be posting about my collection and what I am doing with it. (I've already started a post, actually.)
Thanks for joining me. CHEERS!
