A final visit to Geppi’s Entertainment Museum

June 4, 2018 By Brian 1 Comment

Geppi's Entertainment Museum

Yesterday afternoon, I braved a monsoon, flash floods, and falling trees on the Beltway, to make it to Geppi's Entertainment Museum in Baltimore one final time. Last week, it was announced that Steve Geppi, founder of Diamond Comic Distributors, had decided to donate a large portion of his massive pop culture collection to the Library of Congress, and as a result, Geppi's … [Read more...] about A final visit to Geppi’s Entertainment Museum

How to repurpose an antique television

It's no secret that I love vintage items from the 50's and 60's, so when a 1954 Motorola television popped up on Craigslist, I pounced on it, not knowing what I would actually do with it.

Mondo is releasing this awesome new Night of the Living Dead poster by Gary Pullin sometime today. It's been a while since I have been really excited about a poster release, but this one is sooo good -- and it even glows in the dark! Unfortunately, this poster will be a limited release and not a timed release like Mondo has been doing for some of the more popular movies, so it … [Read more...] about Night of the Living Dead poster by Gary Pullin

Gantz:O — Some serious eye candy

April 4, 2017 By Brian 5 Comments

I have NO IDEA what I just watched but it was pretty cool. I fired up Netflix and watched Gantz:O only because I saw Dex from AEIOU and Sometimes Why had given it a positive review. The movie plays like a video game on a Japanese acid trip, with some seriously freaky monsters. I'm not going to try to describe the plot because I'm still trying to figure it out -- you will … [Read more...] about Gantz:O — Some serious eye candy

All hail the king! Kong Skull Island posters

February 7, 2017 By Brian 4 Comments

If you know me, you know I'm pretty excited about the fact that we're getting a new King Kong movie. This one is especially exciting because it strays from the traditional New York storyline, and takes place on Kong's home turf, Skull Island. The posters that have been released so far have been pretty amazing...   This Japanese poster was just released, and is one the … [Read more...] about All hail the king! Kong Skull Island posters

There's no question that the market for movie art posters has grown to monumental proportions, and Mondo, the granddaddy of them all, is still going strong. With weekly releases, there are plenty of gems in the mix (and some huge misses).
