Title: Help me pick a movie poster!
Post by: dean on April 18, 2011, 09:03:18 AM
Heya gang!  I need help!

I just moved into a new house and it is so incredibly boring staring at the blank wall above my computer while I work away.  Yes I stare at the wall when I should be working, its my thinking space.

This must change.  To the left of my desk I set up a shelf with a heap of figurines, so that's come up a treat, but now I need some art.

But because I don't want to be too sophisticated by having Dali or Banksy or some other trendy art, I figure a movie poster would be a good choice, but since I don't want it to be too 'I'm a teen with my favourite things on the wall" I figure a vintage movie poster would be perfect: It's classy because it's old, but silly because it's a b-movie.  Perfectomundo!

But I need help in choosing one that is nice enough to be hung on a wall without looking like too much of a fanboy, non-offensive enough that the others in my house don't run screaming from me, and nerdy enough to appeal to my b-movie sensibilities.  Plus one that is available in a larger size than the average poster [I want this thing to dominate my wall!]

So far the two top choices I've come across are these two:

The Brain Eaters

Mothra

I am open to other suggestions so fire away, but am torn so am calling a poll to our studio audience to see if we can come up with a winner!

The Brain Eaters is more fitting, seeing as you'll be sat on a chair for hours having your soul sucked through the computer screen....  :smile:

The BRAIN EATERS poster looks great, but I went with other.

That Brain Eaters poster is awesome! I may have to steal your idea and get it for over my own computer.

I like the Brain Eaters poster, but I recommend you get the Mothra one.

First, I like the colors scheme better. Second, the squarish shape will probably look better over your computer. Third, "Ravishing a universe for love!" is a better goal than "destroying the world."

Hope that helps!
