Okay, here a very special treat for you - especially those of you planning attend back to The 80 series this screening twitch, the TIFF Bell Lightbox continues this Saturday, March 5th with dark crystal.

Local artist Justin Erickson is to create a series of posters for the screening series, one for each film in the series to promote. Readers of the Magazine of Rue Morgue, where he was an artist key and designer for some time now, are already well familiar with the work of Justin and his Phantom creative city it even push some new territories as well. What you see above is original artwork by Justin for dark crystal.

Now, here's the thing about these posters. They are not available on the market. They are not on sale now and they will never be. While the images will be used online, the number of physical copies will be ultra limited. Beyond the ultra limited, really. There will be ten. In the world. Never. And, yet again, they will not be sold. Five copies are kept for those involved in the assemble series. And the other five? Those who are being given to persons participating in the screening.

Copies five giveaway three will be provided in theatre in the first three people able to respond to all of the trivia questions, I'm cooking. The other two are to win now. We are two of these away, with a pair of tickets each to a pair of lucky Twitch readers. I will not make you answer a question, I will not make you jump through hoops, all I require, it is that you be there in person, to pick up your poster and tickets to the show. I will not ship it. I not hold them for you. Will I not give them to someone else who you send in your place. You have to come to the theatre yourself to take advantage. Good with you? Then send me an email here saying that you want to be on the drawing of lots for the poster of the Dark Crystal and tickets. The winners will be drawn at random Friday morning.

New posters - and will be unveiled new gifts - every Monday morning from now until the series is complete.

AN important note for those PLANNING TO attend: screening this week of the princess Bride sold 100% of online orders advanced. There is no tickets available for the attached sales. We are looking for by moving the other films in the series in a greater projection to allow more room, but if you want to avoid buying your tickets early disappointment. Tickets for all remaining sessions in the series - dark crystal, Gremlins, back To the Future, the last starfighter and Krull - are now available through TIFF online ticketing.

Twitch and TIFF Bell Lightbox bringing 80 in Toronto!

TIFF Bell Lightbox - the spiffy new home of the Toronto - Film International Festival have just announced their wave in winter and spring of programming and, hey! Look at what is there! A series of morning weekend of the years 80 children scifi / fantasy / adventure / presented by twitch and programmed by yours truly of horror movies! Here's the official word (so far):

back to the 1980s: February 5 to April.? 2?
Both revered and maligned, the 1980s saw the birth of a new kind of American movie: shows focused on the kid, filled with special effects that have attracted disdain from critics and the dedication of an entire generation. TIFF revit these classics from the 80s on the big screen from February 5 to April 2. This projector, programmed by twitch blogger Todd Brown, includes favorites such as spawning suite-travel time classic back to the future (1985) a digital catalog newly restored; Gremlins(1984), wickedly funny horror of kid-friendly classic about a swarm of little monsters destroying a small town of Norman Rockwell-esque; The Princess Bride (1987), a charming tribute to and send up of the classic storybook adventure; Tolkien-esque dark, fairy tale of Jim Henson dark crystal (1982). The Goonies (1985), pirate treasures hidden in the secret in their hometown caves long-lost a kiddie spin on Indiana Jones follows a team of young intrepid adventurers with Corey Feldman, Sean Astin and a teenage Josh Brolin, as they hunt for a stash. and The last Starfighter (1984), a pioneering science fiction adventure is the first film to employ all-computer generated special effects.

Here's what I tell you:

1 These movies are awesome.

2 It's a Saturday afternoon series in the morning, which means that there kid friendly films to a convivial moment of kid. Therefore, if you have a kid, bring em. If you do not have one of your own, flying an and then bring him. But try and do not forget to return them after the show. I tested these all about boy in advance and all play every bit as children now as they did for us when they turned us in a generation of film geeks.

3 Internal count children. You can get those, too.

4 Titles in the press release are not the full range! If you visit the page of the official program site Web TIFF you notice Krull and Bandits, Bandits are also part of the festivities and there are still to be appointed to bring the total up to ten.

Finally, it is obviously a very different type of programming that is normally TIFF, and it is important that it works. If you want to see these kinds of events that continue we need your support! Spread the word!
