    Today we visited the original State Theatre in Columbia, PA, which has since been converted to an antique and collectibles shop. Over the stairs hung a slew of vintage movie posters. The yellow one is for a movie called The Shadow of the Hawk, from 1976. I watched it as a boy with my father and it scared the crap out of me!! They were selling the poster for $175. While in the store, I saw one on eBay for..... $15 with free shipping. It's now on the way in the mail :) 20240901_194940.jpg

    So I have been watching, and drooling over, this TRON Legacy, 5 foot by 8 foot, vinyl banner, for over 9 mos on eBay. I need it like I need a 2nd rectum, but I am a lifelong TRON fan, and a new movie is due out next year. I even own an original TRON arcade game from 1982. I remember seeing the banner in a theater in 2010 and even wanted it then.

    The banner had been at $150, I offered 100 and was denied. The auction vanished and returned again at 125. I was dying but did not buy it. The guy pushed out a special offer discount, last night, that dropped it down to the magic 100 number. I saw it this AM and flipped out and bought it.

    I do not yet have room to hang it anyplace, but it was one of those things that w 20240902_165957.jpg as making me lose sleep. This is what it looks like:

    There is a place in VA where Tom Atkins will be in October. He was in The Fog, and I'm considering going to add his autograph to my original poster that John Carpenter has already signed.

    Tom is 88!!

    I learned today of a 1976 issue of a Star Wars poster that was out before it went big. They say in the video that 1000 were made, and many ended up in the trash:
