Considering I am in Exeter with the twin, and we are both secretly grandads we ended up at the film museum in the university. It was actually reply interesting.
I can testify that Hitchcock had just about the biggest ego on the planet. Here is my proof:
He actually kinda broke the fourth wall and was the selling feature on his own poster.
The main selling point.
A couple of the otherinteresting posters.
This one actually just told the whole story on the poster. Who sits, takes decent time out of their day to read a film poster. Apart from me that is.
Terrible plot. Very moral.
Next we have the hilariously melodramatic poster here. It was just a bit on the funny side of hammer horror.
And this for the vintage Daleks! The bright colours persist and its so dramatic. I still think the the Hitchcock poster is my favorite.
Now onto my favorite room. It we full of archaic moving picture machines. Stuff like this
I like it. Its all old fashioned I,ages of how we would create the future. Quite quite really.
The best machine was this one though.
Let me show you what it did.
I think its kind of funny that this is a (currently) a high tech moving image of a low tech moving image.
It was fun. You got the image by turning a lever.
Here is a picture of the flyer to finish off.
