Alamo Drafthouse Posters

It is still funny. Most people on here knew sideshow was releasing it on their site. Feel bad if some fool actually buys that.

Don't hate the player, hate the game

Not too much of a Treky, but that's a beautiful poster

Agreed. If it was something based on the movie I may have gotten it. Or Wrath of Khan !!!!

So I opened my Mummy posters and dropped the regular off at Michaels to be framed.

Question for those with a regular: does yours have a white spec or two near the big eyes? I noticed it on my regular, but not my variant. Also, I saw the regular my friend got the other day and it also had white specs, but not in the same place. Is this pretty much on all of them?

Could anyone please answer this for me? I'm assuming that because they're on the two I've seen, they're on all of them. However, because they're in different locations, it looks like it's just an imperfection that occured during the printing of them.

Well how about that? Super Powers poster already shipped from Sideshow. Looks like they're getting them put a little quicker this time. Should be here next Thursday.

P.S. Got Stout Cap variant and the Olly Moss set in the mail today. Them metallics sure are pretty!

Ozz I would say if you can post a pic of the part that your talking about. I only saw my set for about 30 seconds before putting it back in the tube so I didn't inspect to thoroughly.

I enjoyed Fanboys enough... but I really, really love this print. Tim did a great job on this and the piece is very clever. I agree the regular is the better of the two.

Besides Star Wars art/collecting/fun, I'm knee deep in art history on a daily basis. It's a complete passion for me. So when I saw this piece, I had to have it.

For anyone unfamiliar, this is based on the 1830 Eugene Delacroix painting, "Liberty Leading the People", which is one of the most iconic and influential paintings in the world. The original shows armed Parisians (of all classes) following a woman (the allegorical goddess "Liberty") in battle during the July Revolution of 1830. In fact, this depiction of "Liberty" was the inspiration for the Statue of Liberty in NY.

The painting hangs in the Louvre. Delacroix himself led a revolution in the art world at the time by shunning several traditions in his style of painting. He refused to adhere to the strict linear outlines. He also refused to stick to strictly accepted subject matters like mythological, historical and biblical pieces, which in some circles led to him being reviled. And later in his career he didn't use black in any of his paintings - removing it from his palette - instead choosing to explore colors in ways nobody had before.

And since I'm holding art history class, one more tidbit about how masterful the piece is.

Notice the sight lines of each figure in the piece. See how most of them project outside the borders of the piece itself? This expands the painting so you get an amazing sense that the world it exists in is even bigger... and that there is fighting going on all around. Clearly there's a major incident/battle happening off to the right. Having the different angles of the sight lines creates such an exciting composition. A true masterpiece in so many ways!!!!

And the one youth who's looking out at us (I drew the line down since I can't draw it in 3-dimensions coming at us)... seems to engage us completely. We could all be him! He draws us right into the work.

I took 3 art history classes in college....pure awesomeness

Just got all my Cowboys & Aliens stuff in the mail, including the Danger Woodprint. My first woodprint, and I'm left with a good impression, as it turned out very nice. Whalen is awesome as usual, and the Meadows print surprised me as well, as it had plenty of metallics on it, making it pop more than you would expect it to.

I live about 10 miles from the SS Warehouse, so my Super Powers should be arriving today....hopefully it will be amazing

 

[Darth Caedus]

Just check my shipping number....I live 10 miles away from where it's being shipped. They shipped it to a place FARTHER away then I am from them, and they're not shipping it until Monday gah

I really hate how postal services do that. Happens to me quite often. It makes no sense what so ever but I guess it's just something they have to do.

UPS does this stuff all the time. there's a warehouse 10 minutes away, with a local airport, but they always ship it to columbus first.

why not just fly it straight here? instead of wasting time driving back down south then putting it on the truck

 

[swabie2424]

Same here with UPS. I have items go to some facility in Sylmar all the time... where if they'd just put it on a local truck.. it's be to me straight away.

Hopefully you can get a replacement for that. Otherwise maybe you can talk JJJ into letting you buy the one I have.
