Re: [MOPO] Changed tastes

[JR]

Susan,   I went through almost the exact thing you describe, eventually become very wide-ranging in the posters I bought. Now over the past 6 months an odd thing has happened. Lately I find myself focusing on the type of posters that I first started collecting... mostly science fiction films with a few monster and horror titles. I'm not sure why this is. It may be something as prosaic as I've now amassed a large (for me) collection of all kinds of different types of posters and now want to go back and fill some of the holes in my sci-fi and monster section. But it seems deeper than that. Suddenly that area of posters somehow seems more "fun" to me again than most other styles. Weird, because I've not watched those old sci-fi and monster movies much in the past couple of decades... focusing mostly on netflixing newer stuff I wasn't willing to pop first-run prices for at the theaters.   Not that I don't appreciate a really great poster from another genre when come across one... it's just that recently I haven't felt motivated to buy any of them.   -- J R   ----- Original Message ----- From: susan olson To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 0:06 Subject: [MOPO] Changed tastes When I first started collecting movie posters, I was pretty much stuck in a Paradigm (as was my movie Viewing) only Film Noir and B/W classics. I wouldn’t even look at anything that didn’t have Bogie or Mitchum, Bette Davis or many of the others, Now I am buying posters for Yog and Schlock, Vampyres, Warhols Blood for Dracula, Frankenstein, Plan 9 from Outer Space  I have watched movies lately that I had never heard of before, many of the above but also many many Giallos, The Horrors of Spider Island, Brides of Blood etc, and I cant seem to get enough! Horror Hotel sheesh!   Movies that are so bad theyre good and posters that maybe only cost me 20 bucks So my question is do you find that after many years of collecting that your tastes have changed and gone from a rather rigid position to a more affiable and fun loving place? susan Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
