Christ, people, could you all be a little more hyperbolic? The incesant bitching about every single solitary Mondo poster that comes out in this thread is ridiculous, and BBS (and others) are not wrong for pointing it out. Mondo makes a lot of poo poo posters. A -lot.- But every now and then, a good one does come out. Acting like every single Mondo poster ever produced and ever will be produced is a piece of poo poo is absolutely ridiculous.

Not once has anyone walked into my house and gone "Wow what is that stupid poo poo" when they see my framed posters. Most of them spend a good few minutes staring at them and asking where they can get one, and get noticeably upset when you explain Mondo's system to them.

I like some of their posters (Olly Moss's are usually good), dislike a much higher percentage, and really, really hate their business model.

Their business model isn't great, I'll give you that. But people in here see a Mondo poster and go "UGH LOOK AT THIS UGLY PIECE OF poo poo" and while yes, some are ugly pieces of poo poo, they dismis the good ones just as easily, and there are some loving good ones. I wouldn't have bought their Mummy poster if it wasn't loving beautiful.

Some Mondo posters are good, some aren't, but their business model is the stupidest goddamn thing. I'm surprised that nobody sells "replicas" like they do with sneakers and purses.

After Argo won best picture Ben Affleck wrote a thank-you note to my boss for the campaign on this poster... I thought that was a pretty cool gesture.

 I got this from Mondo years ago, I don't care what anyone thinks, it's awesome. Although I will say the majority of Mondo posters are crap, and the false scarcity thing pisses me off.

I think the movie looks much more interesting than the poster, mainly because the lead isn't some muscle-bound white guy but a doughy middle-aged Chinese man.

Also there's like 10 really good Mondo posters. Their scarcity business model sort of implies that you're buying a "luxury" or "collector's" item. They put out too many bad posters for their business model. If they were a normal poster shop nobody would care that they had a bunch of mediocre posters for sale. Why do people buy them anyway? Because people have no taste and people want things that are hard to get.

casa de mi padre posted:Why do people buy them anyway? Because people have no taste and people want things that are hard to get. Yep, that is the only reason we buy them. It has nothing to do with us liking the movies or how some of them look. We are so simple minded that we act on the instinct of buying everything Mondo cause it's so hard to get. You're a jackass.
