Shorts & Cinema

So, my trip to see ACO at Event Cinemas was fantastic. The quality of the image was beautiful, quality of sound was fantastic too(though we could tragically hear explosions from another movie playing in an adjacent cinema). It was completely worth the $10 to see. Personally, I'd love to see Event Cinemas show some other Kubrick films. In particular, I'd LOVE to see 2001: A Space Odyssey on the big-screen. Only time will tell what films they'll bring us in the future though.

I also acquired, what are probably the coolest shorts ever, recently. They're by a brand called Arancia Meccanica(can we guess what they focus on?), a seriously fantastic brand, hope to acquire more of their products in the future. I bought them from a seller called 'Marys Clothing' on eBay.

The fact their board-shorts might persuade me to actually go swimming this summer too, that's always a plus. Though even if I don't, I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing these religiously. I also love the colours(though these shorts are available in at least one other colour combination that I could find), can't go wrong with black, white & purple.
While I'm writing, I'd like to apologise for the lack of new posts lately. There's only so much stuff I can buy & stuff worth writing about. I have got two blog posts I'm working on, one is quite depressing & I keep putting it off, the other has been delayed due to a product arriving damaged. I have however, found some new items recently, hopefully I'll have myself a little ACO shopping binge in the near future & give you all something new to read!

A Clockwork Orange Screening - Event Cinemas

Event Cinemas at Indooroopilly are showing A Clockwork Orange next month. Super excited to see it on a big screen again. I caught a screening at GOMA a few years ago, though the sound quality left a lot to be desired. Should be a unique experience finally seeing it at a decent cinema. I look forward to seeing all my fellow droogs on the night.

Recent Aquisitions or 'Look What's In The Mail!'

Recently I had a little splurging money, to buy a few of the new ACO items available & items I'd be considering for quite some time. One such item arrived today, so I thought I might share it, along with a few other items I'm currently waiting to recieve. Of course, like always, there are plenty of other items I'd like to buy right now... but money will allow for only so much. However, not a bad group of editions to my collection.

A Clockwork Orange Usher Badge


Droog Bust Barsom Edition - Retro Outlaw



A Clockwork Carrot - Frank Kozik

Just a little information about each item, incase anyone was interest:

1. A Clockwork Orange Usher Badge ~ This was a wonderful eBay find. Very rare item. Worn by ushers to advertise up-coming films. The seller has hundreds, almost all unused & ALL original. Mine arrived today... now I need to find a frame for it!

2. Droog Bust Barsom Edition by Retro Outlaw ~ Beautiful details bust sculpted by Barsom Manashian & poured by Chris Santoro. Yet another wonderful ACO-inspired piece from the guys at Retro Outlaw.

3. A Clockwork Carrot by Frank Kozik ~ Frank Koziks latest creation. I always enjoy his ACO creations(though still missing a few from my collection). I pre-ordered mine from Toy Art Gallery. I'm super excited about adding it to my cabinet, definitely a statement piece.
