Saw this in the theater, gf of the time agreed I was never to move to Ithaca

Ithaca’s actually quite lovely (the long-time town slogan is, “Ithaca is gorges!”). And the Ward Laboratory’s TRIGA nuclear reactor was decommissioned and the fuel removed about twenty years ago. The university’s particle accelerator, CHESS, is still in active operation, but it’s used for generating high-energy x-rays.

I live about an hour’s drive from Ithaca and go there whenever I can. They have a great farmer’s market.

William Stout

His book The Dinosaurs is a classic of illustration and was groundbreaking. It’s a beautiful book.

I find the poster for Redline really disappointing, given how strong and varied the visuals are, end-to-end, in the actual movie.

I don’t know if it’s beautifully illustrated, but I just watched the Brit-trax for this one

I’m not sure if that’s fear or annoyance. Could go either way.

That’s definitely the face of someone with their swimsuit twisted uncomfortably. She’s asking the hand to wait a moment while she gets untangled.

The title Killer Wedgie from the Haunted Sea tested poorly.

I forgot about this thread! Let’s put up more posters!

Last Woman on Earth got a similar poster, one which is actually pretty competent. Corman must have found another fiver in his pocket for this one.

…which made me think of-

And, on the apocalyptic theme…

I’m scared to death of spiders, but this Russian poster for The Green Spider is too damn sweet.

I dig the creature design in this poster for Unearthly Stranger (not to be confused with MST3K’s The Unearthly), even though the monster doesn’t actually appear in the movie.

Classic 80s film. Definitely a bit of a cult classic and hidden gem.

[FlyingSquid]

Not a fan of the film, but a terrific poster.

I’m partial to the poster that was in the album.
Just spent an hour scanning mine, folds are starting to yellow:
