Hi, I am George, I am an addict.

I always wanted to say that. But I guess I am addicted to a different kind of stuff than most AA participants are. I am a movie addict. That is an understatement. Some people prefer a specific genre of film: action, romantic comedy, sci-fi, etc. But me, I just love movies in general. This is how I escape the confinement of everything that is banal.

I have transformed my house to be like a museum of sorts. You see, I have a collection of memorabilia, costumes, and posters of movies I love. In the second floor bathroom, I proudly hang my latest acquisition: a Spiderman 3 poster. So cool! The red and blue Spidey sticking to a building façade with those round hornet-like eyes, arms outstretched, ready to spew out his ultimate weapon, is a sight to gaze at while I relieve myself of the sins of always munching on a burger. I have a ‘Gone in the Wind’ poster in my living room – that is a classic!

While looking at them I can’t help but wonder how it is like to make well designed posters like these. How did the poster printing companies come up with something totally awesome? I guess you really have to be very artistic and creative to capture the essence, the entirety of the film in one picture and at the same time entice the movie-going public to spend their hard-earned dollars to be entertained for a couple of hours. That is a work of a demi-god I reckon– a demi-god poster printer. But as for me, I will just be contented in filling up my house with everything that would remind me that life has its highs!
