Mystery poster? Ripped off!

I know it was a mystery sale, a bit of a gamble, but really? My mystery poster just arrived, an '06 Chicago poster, and it's rubbish. I don't know if it can even be called a poster, the design, which is basically a blue smudge background with pearl jam written over the top of it, looks like it could have been done by a 10 year old. Artwork was always going to be hit or miss though, I understand that, but it's also about half the size of a regular poster. Getting an ugly poster I can handle, getting an ugly poster that's not much bigger than an A4 piece of paper, rip off!

10C, I'm going to say to you the same thing I said to a friend years ago after going to the movies to watch Unbreakable...I want my money back! That was a rubbish movie and this is a rubbish 'poster'.

    Unbreakable with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson? That movie was and still is awesome! "They called me Mr. Glass..."

    There are way worse posters than that. To each his own I guess.

    Adult baby you say? Ha, not really bud, was just hoping for something better. $30 for an ugly piece of paper, I know it's not the end of the world, just felt like having a whinge.

    I can't imagine the reaction you would have had if you opened up to see Ronald McDonald staring back at you. Frankly, I think it's a pretty sweet poster, but it's all in the eye of the beholder. Caveat emptor with the mystery box/poster next time, eh?

    I'm thinking I might give it to a mate of mine who's a pj fan, he'll probably be into it more than me.

    You actually seem pretty reasonable; everyone's allowed to vent. I'll take back my cryey face.

    I do think the poster is relativity standard size though, no? Isn't it 12.5 x 24? That's standard size height and iust a little less wide to suit the design of the art. Unless it's a mini print of the original?

    Ha, thanks dude. Yeah, I'm a pretty reasonable guy. It's smaller than my other posters and narrower. I guess I've been lucky enough to go to pj and eddie shows that have had great posters. This one is a bit of a step down.

    I'm normally a fan of M. Night's movies, loved The Village. Unbreakable went nowhere, just my opinion. But it seems like you can't really trust my opinion ;)

    I think it looks like someone skateboarding with a nuclear blast going off behind them. Maybe it's Alva. There's probably some significance behind the art. I like it!

    I don't think I'm owed anything my friend, was just disappointed with the poster I got, that's all, but thanks for jumping on board with the criticism, hope you feel better.

    easy to assume that he was just venting, based on the more recent posts he made in the thread... or maybe i'm missing something...
