In Contention

Floating Robinson

I’ve had my eye on this “Double Indemnity” poster for the last few days.  I have a hole on my bedroom wall and it would work splendidly.  The colors, the contours, the smoothness goes well with the vibe I have going on in there.  But there’s something about that borderline-creepy floating bust of Edward G. Robinson that’s giving me pause.  And I’d be lying if I didn’t say the pink is a bit off.  But I like it otherwise.

I’m also considering this “12 Angry Men” poster, but if I can ever find my friggin’ Italian “Midnight Cowboy” print, problem solved.  I’ve got this “Metropolis” poster and this “Citizen Kane” poster on the walls as of now, to give you an idea of what I’m going for.

    Personally, I prefer this poster for “Metropolis” but the green one is a close second. Basically every poster for that movie is classic.

    Got this still from Miami Vice made into a poster. Not matter what you think of the movie, this shot is all Mann.

    The Barry Lydon poster is class.

    I’m too big a star to not be featured on the poster, see? It’s written in my contract, see? Take em away, boys.
