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!

I like both, but I voted other (please specify):

I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

Psycho Circus

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.


Leah

yeah no.

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

Criswell

I'd want you to get both because they both look awesome, but get mothra!

Mofo Rising

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!
