Kiri’s comment on Elizbeth’s post about the Art’s fest (My arts fest post is coming, honest). Reminded me of an idea I had for decorating. Now, I know what you are thinking, but no, you don’t need to own furniture in order to give an opinion. Besides, I have furniture now.

My idea was to decorate entirely with movie posters. In the kitchen: Eat, Drink, Man, Woman? Babette’s Feast?. Bathroom: Psycho, or The Shining. Recall that the poster for The Shining is Jack Nicholson glaring through the hole he has chopped in the Bathroom door saying “Heeere’s Johnny!”. Dining Room: Big Night(?). Et cetera. It seemed like a very interesting puzzle to select posters.

Of course I don’t actually decorate for the sake of decorating. But if I did i think I would choose to decorate with fantastic themes. The print that I bought at BayCon last year is an example. Similarly, the drawing that Joan has on her wall of a young girl riding a tiger. The piece of fine art they remind me is Balthus’s Le Beaux Jours, which I love. I like the way all these images tell a story. Certainly, the best movie posters do the same.
