It was better than I remembered. JLo is definitely the weakest part of the whole thing but it's so gorgeous it's easy to forgive the somewhat thin plot.

I'd call it a good movie, just with a pretty weak story. But honestly the story as weak as it was, did what it needed to do to get the viewer from one gorgeous looking scene to the next.

Just watched The Cell for the first time in a long while, then discovered this Japanese poster for it that was illustrated by Eiko Ishioka. I desperately wish I could own a copy but I've only been able to find two auctions over the last 24 years...



Auctions where? EBay? Because Japanese people don’t use eBay.

Tarsem Singh owns. The Fall is impossible to find nowadays but it's a beautiful movie starring Lee Pace, who was so at the peak of his homoerotic demigod status that he had me questioning myself.

Yes, I'm aware. Yahoo also doesn't store 20+ years of auction history for me to peruse. eMoviePoster has only ever had two copies of this come up for auction, the last time was in 2019.

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

Lee Pace in The Fall is the sexiest a human being has ever been in any movie, and I say that as a straight man.

I did a quick google image search in Japanese and could barely find it there so much be pretty rare.

Yeah, what is the deal with Yahoo Auctions becoming the go-to auction site in asia anyway? How did that happen?

Because Yahoo Auctions was launched in Japan in 1998 and eBay was launched in 2021.....

Everyone remembers the horse dissection, but for me it was when the antagonist was sitting on his throne in a room draped with giant red curtains.

Then he stands up and you realise the entire room is his cape. Just gorgeous.

Yahoo gives you a gajilion GB of data for your email, while Gmail pretty much said I won't receive emails anymore after 15gb because their email storage is shared with Drive and Photos.

Was that a common form factor for posters back then? It's like the length and width of a wall mirror.

its called an insert poster and most not all are 14x36

i think i remember seeing them mostly in theatre hallways as a young, seems like they disappeared sometime in the 80s.

It also doesn't look like Toho is involved so this might have been arranged before the acquisition.

Also yeah, Science Saru is real good even with Yuasa taking a step back for a while.
