Alright, let’s talk about this Convoy film poster thing. You know, those big pictures they put up outside the movie place? Yeah, those. I seen a few in my time, let me tell ya.
Now, this Convoy movie, I heard it’s got that Kris Kristofferson fella in it. He’s a good-lookin’ fella, always singin’ and drivin’ trucks. The poster, well, it gotta show him, right? Big as life, probably with his truck too. That’s what folks wanna see.
I seen some posters, they’re all fancy-like. Real colorful, ya know? But for a movie like Convoy, I reckon it needs somethin’ tough. Somethin’ that says, “Hey, this ain’t no sissy movie, this is about trucks and drivin’!” Maybe some dark colors, like black and blue, and maybe a little bit of orange for the fire, you know, if there’s explosions and such.
- They say some posters are worth a whole lotta money.
- Can you believe that? Just a piece of paper!
- I heard tell of one poster, some old movie, sold for more money than I’d see in ten lifetimes.
This Convoy poster, if it’s one of them big ones, the ones they call “half sheets,” those are good ones. They’re kinda long and not too tall. I heard they don’t make ’em like that anymore. Stopped makin’ ’em back in the eighties, they say. If you got one of them, you hold onto it tight!
And the size, that matters too. Some are big, some are small. The big ones, they call ’em “theatrical” posters, I think. They put ’em up in the front of the movie place, so everyone can see. I saw one online, said it was somethin’ like 1512 by 2300… somethin’ like that. Big, real big! You could probably cover a whole door with it.
Now, if you’re lookin’ to buy one of these Convoy posters, you gotta be careful. There’s lots of folks tryin’ to sell fakes. You gotta find a good place, a place that knows what they’re doin’. Maybe one of them collectible shops, the ones that sell old stuff. They usually know their stuff.
And colors, like I said, they gotta be right. For a thriller movie, they use blue and yellow a lot, I heard. But for an action movie, like Convoy, it’s probably gonna be black, white, and orange. Gotta make it look exciting, ya know? Gotta make folks wanna see the movie.
This Kris Kristofferson fella, he’s got a tough look about him. The poster should show that. Maybe him lookin’ all serious, starin’ off into the distance. And that Ali MacGraw woman, she’s in it too, ain’t she? She’s a pretty thing. They gotta have her on there too, but not too big. This ain’t no love story, it’s a truckin’ movie!
And Ernest Borgnine! That fella, he’s always playin’ the tough guy. He gotta be on the poster too, lookin’ all mean and grumpy. That’s what folks expect from him. And Sam Peckinpah, he directed it. He’s a good director, made lots of tough movies. His name gotta be on there big and bold.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a Convoy film poster, remember what I told ya. Look for the right colors, the right size, and make sure it’s got Kris and his truck. And be careful where you buy it, don’t get ripped off. There’s lots of good posters out there, but there’s also lots of junk. You gotta know what you’re lookin’ for.
And if you find a good one, hold onto it! These things, they get more valuable over time, or so I hear. Maybe one day, that Convoy poster will be worth a whole lotta money. You never know!
So, that’s about all I know about these movie posters. Just gotta use your common sense, and don’t let nobody fool ya. That’s the important thing. Now, go on and find yourself a good Convoy poster!
