New Poster Museum - Interesting Show

There is a new Poster Museum in Manhattan and we visited it about a week ago. We saw an interesting show on Ghana Movie Posters. What was fascinating was the fact that these were from independent movie exhibitors, and painted based on either the VHS cover jacket or their ideas.



By the way, the one poster that was wired as hell was in the pic above, Ghost. Apparently Ghanaian Pentecostals believe in ghosts, and they aren’t nice. So you see Whoppi coming our of Demi Moore’s abdomen. Gross.  I’m guessing they were disappointed with a comedy.

The show also explored how the movies were sold in concert with the Ghanaian Pentecostal values of good and evil, with evil losing.  It was an unusual way to look at the movies themselves.
