man i know this is nostalgia at it's most ridiculous but those dull vhs cases bring a smile. casino knows this but athens video stores were incredibly well stocked but even w/ them i don't think i ever saw a lot of these ever (they leaned toward foreign, old, and cult so i'm not sure they would have ever been interested in the first family anyway. plenty of other richard benjamin vehicles though.) it occurs to me now that literally every physical store i've ever rented a movie from doesn't exist anymore. i'm not sure there's any other kind of business i frequented that much i can say that about, like i'm pretty sure there are newsstands in italy i bought the international herald tribune at that still exist.

"It's a Falcon Funny Movie," wow.
The dog reaction in that last one is such a stock cartoon trope, I love it. That and the pen-and-Prismacolor aesthetic make it feel like something from Dynamite magazine.

Find me a single funny movie that uses the word "laugh" or "funny" in the movie poster.

wait you mean that isn't what's happening?
this thread is great at helping me realize just how many terrible-looking movies Elliott Gould, Alan Arkin, and George Segal made in the 70s.
― intheblanks, Thursday, 15 October 2015 22:39 (eight years ago) link
My guess from the poster was that she would be an aspiring pop star, but this HBO lead-in from 1982 insists she's a "TV news lady." So I guess she's...interviewing him?
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 15 October 2015 22:41 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, it's only in recent years that I've pieced together that Gould/Segal were big, big names in the 70s, Gould especially. I'm 33 and they were basically non-entities in the 80s. Probably didn't help that the majority of their output was aimed at adults with nothing that might really seduce you in the video store or reruns, like an action or fantasy joint or something. It'd be like someone born in 2000 not knowing who, like, Harrison Ford was or something. Not the exact right comparison but, y'know?
I believe Segal also had a hard career crash after asking too much money for things or something, but others would know better.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 15 October 2015 22:45 (eight years ago) link
(ford obviously in tons of teen-friendly fare that has remained very popular - just meaning super big all through a decade and then basically irrelevant immediately afterwards)
yeah I don't think that applies to Harrison Ford
(currently in the process of designing an Elliott Gould t-shirt at the request of my wife btw)

Wait a minute. Is the English title "Carbon Copy" and the Italian title is something about chicken?
"The Chicken You Eat WIth Your Hands" ...

I'm not sure who that is on the Italian poster but it's not Denzel Washington.
