[Avfin]

One of my favorite movies actually.

I saw it once and thought it was meh

It was funny when I saw it originally. Didn't age too well over time with a couple repeated viewings.

They carry a frame at 27x41. Really nice one too. It's regularly $69.99 (although frames are an additional 40% off until March 5th). You would just need to remove the collage matting.

Picked up a Trendsetter 27x40 frame for $25. Needed to add a wire backing to hold it up. Set it up a little while ago with that Iron Man poster. Looks pretty nice for the price. That brick and mortar frame shop in the next town was absolutely ridiculous for prices. They were quoting anywhere from $169 to $319.

Is the standard 27x40 or 27x41 ?

27x40 nowadays, 27x41 for older stuff. I just dont know how old.

It was late 80's when they made the shift from 41 down to 40. Seems like it was about the same time when the NSS stopped printing them completely as well, although don't hold me to that.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

So I should get 27x40 for modern pieces such as the tron poster I just got ?

 

[Michael Crawford]

Yes, that would be the size.

Okay, I have a question for you - if you could have one Rocketeer poster, which would it be, the teaser:

Or the first release:

Obviously, the teaser just says summer 1991 at the bottom, while the later release has credits...decisions, decisions...

 

[CTO15]

in terms of colors are they the same? the teaser has a bright color, unless that's just due to the scanning. I like the later release myself.

Also, I got the teaser poster for IM2 for $28 shipped on ebay. I was surprised to see this since most of the teaser posters are going for $60+

 

[Michael Crawford]

Yea, you can't depend on color in online scans like that. They're identical as far as I know.

I'm leaning toward the teaser so far.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

I'd go Teaser. The fonts match, whereas it appears the first release's doesn't.

Looks cleaner due to that.

 

[Nitro]

Hmmm. Tough decision Mike. I like the final a little bit more than the teaser. Don't think you could go wrong either way though.

I would go with the teaser

I have the teaser and it seems thicker than a standard one sheet. Not doublesided and I don't think they made any that way. I'd probably prefer the release one though.

 

[Michael Crawford]

Interesting - all the ones I've seen are ds, both teaser and regular. I assume that means they were Originally done that way as well - wouldn't make much sense to do as ds reprint of a poster that was only released ss to begin with.

Hey everyone! I got a few movie posters throughout the years, but these are the three currently hanging on my wall now. Don't have too many posters cause I need to inhibit my buying habits now.
I already buy enough Blu-rays every week or so.

Great thread!

I'm hoping on redoing my basement and having a theater room with a few lightboxes. Plans are for:

TDK Teaser *DS

and



to start...

For lighted boxes, I think River City does a great job for the price:
