Movie Lore

One thing I love about going to the Theaters is the movie posters. I often wonder what they do with them after the show is out of the theater. Do the employees get to take them home? And what about the huge displays they often have up? The one for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was awesome! I would have loved to have that in my son's room.

Another one that I loves was the set up for the Simpson's Movie. It was the Couch from the TV series' opening Scene with the family sitting on it. There was even a place for people to sit with them and get there picture taken!

What do they do with all of that stuff?

I know that a lot of people collect rare movie posters, do you think they got their start when they were teens and worked in theaters?

As an aside, I think that being able to see the movies as soon as they come out, for free, is a great benefit and would be worth dealing with the nauseating smell of popcorn for eight hours - If one had to have a job, that is!
