The key is to have posters everywhere. That way she doesn't know which ones are new and which ones I've had for years... I've got my linenbacking table downstairs full of posters. I lean all my EMP tubes next to the linen closet upstairs. Then there is my poster lair. Chaos is key. If I was all organized and shit, I would always be in trouble. Right now all I get is a "when are you going to clean this up?"... But even that is starting to fade. I think she has just plain given up... :-bd
While I am on the subject, I finally scored a Silver Linings Playbook... Actually 3 copies... I bought a dinged up one (figured I back it) and then bought two lots with much nicer copies. I was surprised how hard these were to find. I've had them on my watch list since she won the academy award for it...
As some of you may know, I've made a trip a few weeks back to help the
wife of a friend who died earlier this year organizing his poster
collection. It was not an easy task, as there was around 10.000 posters
in it, pretty disorganized. There was all kinds if stuff, from 40s
serials to 80s sexploitation, and looking throught it was quite an
experience. She generously let me took a few that were duplicates,
and had a special meaning for me. I am extremely happy of being in
custody of these.
This one is for the first film of Isabel Sarli:
A one sheet for Emilio Vieyra's "La bestia desnuda"
This is for a russian documentary directed by Vasili Belayev (can't figure exactly wich one)
