Chiller Lite

I like dark beer...but when it comes to Chiller, I actually prefer Chiller Lite. After more than ten years attending this show, it finally outgrew itself and imploded. This weekeend's show was the least attended Chiller I've ever been to. It's a blessing in disguise.. there were less dealers, less crowd, less "talent" to sign stuff and... less stuff to buy.. how I still managed to spend 150+ dollars I don't know. Well, I got amazing Humanoids From The Deep and Swamp Thing one-sheets. Yay!!

Naked

Success! The Naked Lunch poster I saw in a shop in Tokyo going for over a hundred dollars is now MINE thanks to someone on ebay! I've found out more about the artist. His name is Hajime Sorayama and he's been drawing film poster artwork since the 80s.. his famous works include posters for Company of Wolves and even Peter Jackson's Braindead.

Disappointment

I failed to win that awesome Quien Puede Matar a Un Niño poster as well as few others on ebay.. These guys must have some type of trick or software that helps them with bidding... I am glad i *DID* raise the prices on a few as revenge.. THE FUCKERSSSSS!!! Not only did I lose some cool Japanese posters but I also lost an original A SHORT FILM ABOUT KILLING Polish one-sheet... alas, the seller contacted me to sell me another, so I took it. Here it is. Isn't it amazing..?

Ugh!

Damn I just sat through one of 2005's worst films! Mr. and Mrs. Smith! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?? My parents were here and since I can't go too extreme or too highbrow with our movie selections, we decided on that one. In the next few days I'll pick my faves for 2005.. not in the mood for blogging now actually... Well, the first day of the year was a blur. I need to get up in a few hours.. I wanna bid on that beautiful WHO CAN KILL A CHILD poster from Japan. DROOOLLLL. Later!

Afternoon

Just got back from my first Chinatown excursion in a very long time. I went with Ramon and Rafa, my visiting friends from Barcelona.. I decided to ring Phil because I blew him off a few weeks ago after he'd been trying to get a hold of me so I figured it would be nice to see him and share some noodles amongst us. The snow began to get heavy at the end of the meal. Still didn't stop us from buying some DVDs. Rafa gaveme Seven Swords the latest Tsui Hark film and I bought myself Hana to Alice. I had been expecting a better edition to come along for a while and it hadn't, so.. I caved in. Gonna nap for a bit now.. later.

12.31.05 Morning

Everyone's doing it so why can't I? Welcome to my blog... it's snowing outside, but I'm pumped for my spinning class in a few. It doesn't feel like a saturday really. Outside's dark and grey and I love it. And to accentuate the mood, CocoRosie and Antony are singing... later!
