Nicholas Cage once asked me what time it was. I don't mean this to sound like a flippant comment, which it is, but it's like this: I was in San Francisco at Peet's Coffee on Polk Street and he came up to me, wearing a long black cape, with two foxy girls, one on each arm, and said "Excuse me sir, but could you possibly tell me what time it is?" Very foppish.
And I'll never forget what I said to him: I said "9:25" (AM).
Channing Thomson can confirm this because he was with me.
This information and $450 can get you a PULP FICTION teaser (authentic) from MovieArt.

Hey JR, When will you ever learn.........? (ha! ha!) I think the Japanese Apocalypse poster is a nice poster. It's not my cup of tea, but I do see the value in it to many collectors. A few years back I was at an auction and Nicholas Cage was sitting next to me. I have acquired some pieces for him over the years. When the Japanese Apocalypse Now poster came up, he bid on it and kept bidding until he owned it and there was some mighty active bidding on that poster. I thought about it at the time and wondered since his uncle had directed the movie, one would think he might have another avenue to acquire the poster than a public auction. I guess this was the easiest path for him. That was my first experience of seeing the poster up close and it is a stunning poster, not only because of the artwork but it's size. It is also unique to our hobby because it is a horizontal poster, much like the banners of old. I, too, have watched the price on that poster go up and up and that's what makes our hobby fun, varied tastes and a buyer for everything. Hope you are all well.

Freeman,
OK... I can see we're firmly back in eye-of-the-beholder territory again... I should have known better than to ask. For those not already familiar with this image (which I do like better than MIDNIGHT COWBOY, but still have my doubts about it as it is essentially photographic/photo realistic and very mechanical...) you can see it at:

jR. freeman here
The Japanese Helicopter style has consistently hovered at 1000-1200. The one specifically you are addressing is stone mint rolled unbacked and includes a 100% archivally sound and very premium wood frame with a wedge style acid-free linen matte with Museum grade plexi by one of the premiere frame galleries in Los Angeles...... Considering the size (40" x 58") this is easily a 500-600 dollar framing. So do the math its a deal, and the poster is a presentation piece that commands any room its displayed, its sheer visual force give neocons erections and will have your you paid too much German Peak of Brando cowering by its sheer insignificance.
