Original movie poster - yes or no?

**Puffin** · 08-10-2010 02:50 AM

I'm at a loss about where to put this thread, so I decided on Entertainment.

I recently redecorated my room, and I'm looking to furnish it. Yesterday went to a friend's house and she had many different posters on her walls. I'd like to do the same and furnish the walls of my room with a few posters, because they're very plain right now.

I was looking on amazon today, and I came across this original Fight Club movie poster of the narrator. I'm not one for originals, and I couldn't care less if it was just a duplicate print, but it's the only one of that design I found. It's a little over $100 with shipping and taxes.

Here is the link to the purchase page.

I'd really like to get it for the reasons...

1. It's of my favourite actor.
2. It's of my favourite film.
3. It's an original and those don't come around very often.
4. I love the design, it would look good in my room.

I have enough money to play around with (and cover the entire cost), but because my mom's being amazing right now, she's going to pay halfway. But I'm wondering if the price is worth it, even for an original. I'd get the poster matted so it doesn't get destroyed.

What do you guys think?

Well it's ultimately up to you, but if you really like it and you think its worth it, then go for it... In all honesty, I'd get something like that, because Fight Club is a f**king awesome movie

Wow, a fellow Manitoban.

Thanks for the advice.

Haha, it sure is hot. I was in the pool practically all day. Anyways, if anyone else has an opinion on my situation, feel free to post.

I'm inclined to say it's a stupid idea. Because it's a lot of money for such a thing.
But that's only because it isn't where my interests are.

I saw a replica Slash top hat for 80 pounds (roughly 150-200 dollars), and I seriously considered buying it.
So really, if it's where your interests lie, then you might as well get it, if you have the money to spare.

But don't go wasting your money on something you will regret buying. So make sure you definitely are willing to spare the money first.
