Thanks to all of those who entered!

All you need to do to win it is tell us why you love / respect / admire / whatever The Wicker Man.

It's completely up to you. Not bad, right? Please leave a comment below with your (brief or long) write-up and an email address where I can reach you should you be the lucky winner.

Contest - "Deathtrap" Movie Poster by Jacob Van Loon

Hey all! How's everyone doing? As you probably noticed, I've been MIA recently for a variety of reasons that may or may not include laziness, video games, a murderous gang of old-timey vagabonds and work, work, work, but that's all about to change my friends. Oh yes, that's all about to change. My goal from the beginning of this site's creation was to post something interesting each and every day. With this in mind, I decided to resurrect a feature I employed back in my Darrell Street* days. I think I called it "Poster of the Day" or something to that effect. However, in the interest of trying to maintain the illusion of originality, which, let's face it, is already long gone, I decided I needed to come up with a new and even catchier title.

If you read this site, you already know I tend to write reviews for film and television inspired prints that are either currently on sale or are about to go on sale. And while I'll still be pouring the majority of my efforts into these sorts of posts, the new daily feature will solely focus on awesome posters or prints that have long since sold out or never existed in the first place (AKA concept posters). These won't be lengthy posts, but I'll do my best to include some colorful commentary for every image I select.

So, here's what I'm asking of you: help me think of a title. Maybe it rhymes, maybe it's an alliterative tongue twister, maybe it's inspired by a movie title or television character. Who knows? It's completely up to you. Now for the awesome part: whoever comes up with the best title, wins a Deathtrap movie screen print by Jacob Van Loon! Pretty sweet, right? Please leave a comment below with your idea(s) (there's no limit on how many titles you can submit) and an email address. This contest is open internationally. You read that correctly! Now have at it!

It worked pretty well last month, so I figured I try it again. In an effort to cut my poster collection down to a reasonable size I'm holding another Fighter giveaway.  Today's giveaway will include the following:

The Fighter - Adam Hanson

If I Told You I'd Have to Kill You

(1) The Fighter movie poster by Adam Hanson
(1) Mystery print

The mystery print could be anything, but chances are pretty good that it won't be cooler than The Fighter print, which I originally reviewed in January.

Two big things happened today. One, I finally decided to cut the cable cord and go 100% Netflix / Hulu and two, I just purchased and received a new flat file so I could finally store all of the posters I've collected throughout the years. I was so excited, in fact, that I spent a few hours today going through and sorting my collection when I was struck with an epiphany: I have WAY too many posters. In an effort to cut my collection down to a reasonable size I've decided to start holding contests / giveaways.  Now I won't be holding these giveaways on any sort of regular basis, but I'll do my best to have one every once in a while (no promises). Today's giveaway will include the following:

The Fighter - Alan Hynes

Completely Unknowable

(1) The Fighter movie poster by Alan Hynes
(1) Mystery print

The mystery print could seriously be anything, but chances are pretty good that it won't be cooler than The Fighter print, which I originally reviewed in January.

Unfortunately, since I'm the one paying for shipping this contest is only open to readers in the US (sorry everyone else, international shipping can be expensive and complicated). The only thing you have to do to win is leave a comment with your email address and your full name (middle name not needed) and on February 28th I will randomly pick and email the winner to get his or her shipping address. Entries are limited to one person per household. If this turns out to be a success, I'll definitely keep doing these as I try to slim down my surplus of posters. Thanks and good luck everyone!
