amaninjapan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 just noticed there's a new alcoholic drink that uses that same Prague litho/Soviet propaganda design. Amusing to see it pop up a couple times in quick succession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll tell you I feel a lot worse about those fucking A4 reprints that are popping up. The seller has 100% positive feedback, I really hate that these are out there.

I reported all of them but fucking ebay didnt do shit yet. I even pmed that fucker, he claimed he sold about 100, but that loser is probably just making that number up.

Alexpro Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Folks, any ideas on how I can score London #1 at a reasonable price? I'm not paying £350 as it seems way too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Funny price. Seeing how the 2nd one is maybe worth one euro http://www.ebay.com/itm/Guns-N-Roses-Lithograph-Poster-Set-of-2-Imola-2017-Limited-Edition-150-/162597391164?hash=item25db8f4b3c:g:L3oAAOSwhfxZb4DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not paying £350 as it seems way too much I want one too. And I want a Cinci and a Paris and a Kobe. And I only wanna pay $20 for each of them. Why can't the extraordinarily rare limited edition collectibles be available to me for dirt cheap? I want it. But I don't want to pay for it. It's not fair. In other words....tough shit. That's the nature of collectibles. Supply and demand. It's why you can get those goofy little Funko figures for like 10 bucks cause they made a zillion of them. But there's only a few hundred of these posters in the world. Unfortunately that means only rich bastards can afford them, but it is what it is.

estrangedtwat Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Not being smart....it's just the way it is. These posters are extremely limited and (for now at least) are really coveted. I think it's goddamn ridiculous that what is essentially a piece of cardstock are going for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, especially considering that they're not "vintage" items, but that's the price the market has determined for them. Maybe in a few years if GNR aren't doing anything, they'll be a little cheaper, but I wouldn't count on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not pretty but it's clearly a reference to old Italian horror films. It's a specific genre called "Giallo" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giallo I spent some of my youth living in Italy so it definitely has that old VHS low-budget Italian horror movie vibe. In fact, I just did a google search to verify my suspicion and sure enough, it's definitely a reference to the Italian "Cannibal Holocaust" cover: EDIT: Oops, wrong link Edited July 20, 2017 by amaninjapan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaninjapan Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm kinda ashamed it took me this long to figure out the reference. From day one I thought to myself "wow that looks like the old Italian horror films I used to watch" and it doesn't come much more famous than Cannibal Holocaust. Never put it together until just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It caused a major scandal because a lot of people thought it was a real documentary and didn't realize it was fake. I just don't expect most movie buffs to know that was the cover/poster for the Italian VHS. There have been many different posters and DVD/video covers for it in western culture so not a single one really stands out as "the" movie poster.

That horror one is mad. It's absolutely brilliant. See local designers (i'm assuming here) always tap into something real. This is like the Ned Kelly poster for Melbourne. If you know the reference it's awesome and it truly reflects the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they were on trial for murder not for animal cruelty. That was the major controversy. I think the animal cruelty controversy was a lesser issue about editing and censorship.
