Oh the nos­tal­gia. Looks like Sonic is dri­ving today.

In a nice little park in Bath Spa.

The sun was beau­ti­ful tonight so I had to get a few snaps off, I think this one came out best, it’s a wide pano­ra­mic so click the image to see it across the screen, for a full size ver­sion head here

What do you get when your favou­rite local art house cinema starts giving away its reserve of ori­gi­nal thea­tri­cal pos­ters from over the past 10 years? A lot of frea­kin’ awe­some and huge pos­ters, that’s what. The rest of this blog entry is just one giant boast and a list of pic­tu­res. The most impres­sive of finds was the Wel­come to the Dollhouse pos­ter, a rare little Todd Solondz fea­ture from 1996 that is hard enough to find on DVD and the David Lynch/Disney team up in “The Straight Story”, the sound­track for which con­tains “Lauren’s Wal­king” by Angelo Bada­la­menti, one of my con­sis­tently favou­rite tracks. 

Here we go:

Signs

Note the weights to hold down the pos­ter and pre­vent it rolling up again — some of these have been rolled in sto­rage for years.

The Machi­nist (sorry for the blur on this one)

The Woods­man

About Schmidt

Lower City

Memento

Me and You and Ever­yone We Know

Birth

A pretty shitty Starship Troo­pers

Bro­ken Flowers

The Squid and the Whale

The Royal Tenenbaums

The Sixth Sense

Requiem for a Dream

Metro­po­lis

Wel­come to the Dollhouse

To illus­trate how big these pos­ters are the next pic­tu­res are of the ones pos­ted on my walls. These were the first pos­ters I found and I haven’t chan­ged them for my more favou­ra­ble films yet: 

The Others & Memento 

The Straight Story, Doom the Movie (heh), The Talen­ted Mr. Ripley, Corpse Bride 

If peo­ple have inte­rest in any of these I might be willing to “swap” for a large Ghost World or Lost in Trans­la­tion (ver­ti­cal with Scar­lett Johans­son) poster.
