Snipes
I have learned over the years that I really dig snipes on posters. Makes me sure that it is real and was 99% surely hung outside a theater...
Post yours!
What made me think of starting this thread was that I picked up an interesting poster, quite ironic actually:

Got this one from a modern poster I bought to a lovely lady that had a theater at a beach near my city. Text says that the film premiered at the same time that in Buenos Aires.
I picked up this sniped daybill recently:
Now I know the film was released in 3D in other parts of the world. Anyone prepared to say that this sniped daybill means it was released in 2D as well as 3D in Australia as well? As a contrast, Jaws 3 was released in both 2D and 3D and had 2 daybills printed properly for those releases.
In truth - I've not received the daybill yet - I guess that may not be a snipe...

A quick search of the OFLC database shows that the standard 35mm print was passed in August 1974 and a 3D 35mm version was passed in November 1974. So I guess that's 1/2 the answer; both versions were released in Australia. The other 1/2 of the answer is whether this sniped daybill is what was used at the time. I've never seen any other style of daybill and it's hard to imagine a separate print being done 3 months after the initial run, so I'm assuming (dangerous habit, I know) that this was how the 3D posters were done. I'd certainly welcome any other thoughts though!
I have trouble appreciating some of the finer things in life, like fine wines, beer, and Andy Warhol movies. I am sure your opinion is better than mine in this case, PLUS, I am remembering something that happened 40+ years ago!

I don't think i'd ever want to spend the time to watch one of his movies; too many others I haven't seen yet. Heck! I haven't even seen Sunset Boulevard!
As for his art, it was unique, kinda retro, don't think i'd spend money to see an exhibit. ...I did see a Van Gogh exhibit years ago in Los Angeles...now that was something!!!
