Posts from Dooley in thread „Duke's Poster Place- Past Discussion (Archive)“

Quote from ethanedwards

Peter,
I can consolidate the poster threads,
but the Comics and Annuals being a separate subject,
can stand alone.

However I still think we should have a totally different thread
for all non-Duke posters.
Let me know.

Agreed on the comics and non Duke poster thread, I think a pals in the saddle poster thread would be good.

Consolidating the Duke posters into one would be great.

It's only because you re introduced an old thread due to Hatari that I even knew they were on here!

I think the thing to remember is for those who haven't been on here for a long time, me for example, won't know all the delights that have been posted in the dim and distant past.

Dooley has recently posted the thread
Duke's Poster Place,
so to run along with that,
thought it timely to remind us of this thread

Is there a way we can consolidate all these under one main thread?
The idea was to have a central place for all the posters, printed ephemera, from all members rather personal collections spread all over the forum.

Wow Mark,
Nice pieces! Thanks for putting them on here.
If you have more feel free to post them on here.
Peter

However Peter, I think that Duke's Poster Place should
be as it says,
and another new thread started for 'Posters Misc'

Agreed, that's what I was implying.

Great images Ladyhawk, your friend must have an amazing collection.

This thread is supposed to be Duke posters but I suppose if no one posts anything else it's good to have a few others, lol!

Thanks Ladyhawk, it is supposed to be for everyone to post images, and I know there are people out there with collections, most far more impressive than my measly effort, I can just hope they start posting!

Dooley, mi amigo, you have some first rate memorabilia and the techno capability to post them. I salute you. Poor Lady Hawk has unsuccessfully tried to hammer some posting basics into my iron cast noggin, but I still am physically incapable of submitting any images. I promise to apply myself, because I have some good stuff that I would like to share. Nothing like Larry's or Mike's collections, but I do have some things of interest.
This is a personal quirk, based upon nothing but Philistine ignorance, but the idea of lobby cards that are basically (badly) colorized black and white stills has always puzzled me. All the photos were originally shot in color film, so why would the studios tint them so badly?

They are highly collectible and I love them, but I can't figure out why the studios just didn't release color 8x10s to post in the theater. Most of the lobbies are 11x14s and contained an image along with the title and cast, but the color is often jarringly incorrect and downright shoddy.

If anyone has some input into the origin of these lobby cards, I would really be appreciative of any input.

We deal in lead, friend.

Gorch, I take that back, Hatari! is coloured too!, lol! I'm going to try and dig out why they were hand coloured as I've always wondered too! If you find out post it on here.

Peter, well done and thanks for posting this thread.
There are indeed some great lobby cards out there
and you are blessed to have them.

As with lasbugas's thread,
I have also made yours 'sticky', so that it will always remain predominant.

Great idea, Thanks Keith!
It'll make it easier for people to find and post their stuff.
It's also nice to have a visual thread with all these bits in one place.

Firstly, better get the welding kit out to break through that noggin and get posting, it's quite easy, Keith could possibly give you a run through if Ladyhawk hasn't broken through, although I would imagine she was very thorough!

Regarding Lobby cards, I know what you mean, not sure why they did that on some, not all of them are coloured black and white, Hatari your fave I know, lol, is in colour, Circus World is coloured. 10x8 stills ill be posting too those are colour photos.

A few misc. JW items:

Great Alamo221!
Welcome onboard the poster thread and thanks for sharing.

Hi all, to compliment Lasbugas' great stills thread I thought we should have a central place for folks to post pictures of their posters, lobby cards, colour stills, press books etc., basically anything to do with the promotion of Duke's films.
The only criteria is colour, so it sits nicely with the predominantly black and white sister thread.
I'll start it off but this is a thread for all who have stuff and would like to share it with the rest of us.
