At a screening of his new film the other night, I bought this poster - not porn, but probably NSFW as it features a nude nazi Shirley Temple with a whip. It’s an amazing image, equally terrifying and hilarious, and an awesome artifact of a totally amazing film.

I’ve removed the NSFW link in your post, VCO3. When posting a NSFW link, be sure to follow the “two-click” rule outlined in the Registration Agreement.
Aww, I got here too late.
Can someone paste a broken version of the link?
The description has me intrigued.
I saw the film here in Salt Lake City when it came a few years ago, bought the poster and got it autographed by Crispin too. It was hanging on my bedroom wall until my then-girlfriend saw it & freaked out. I have it rolled up in a tube in my office closet.
Just image Google: Crispin Glover nazi shirley temple
You can’t miss it.

I won’t post the broken link because on preview I’ve seen others already had, but do a Google image search for: “what is it” Shirley Temple. You’ll know it when you see it.
The poster is hilarious. It’s wrong, very wrong, but hilarious. And it’s actually not that bad as far as work safe goes, because it truly isn’t pornographic. It was on Google images, after all. But opinions may differ, and I don’t know who your boss is, so discretion is probably wise.
I don’t see any reason not to frame it and hang it on the wall. Just because it has a swastika in it doesn’t make it hard core Nazi Party swag. Pretty sure no official Nazi posters had nude SHirley Temples in them, anybody with even a remote sense of irony/humor would be instantly able to tell that that’s not something produced by the Third Reich. It’s more like…a movie poster.

Yeah, sorry guys. I only thought it was NSFW in the “you might not want to have to explain what you’re looking at if someone looks over your shoulder” sense, not the “this falls under the two-click rule for porn and stuff” sense.
I don’t know what it says about me, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
Frame it and display it proudly.

I was thinking the same thing. Hmm, we must be sadistic bastards, you and me! 
[QUOTE=VCO3]
It is fine, everything is fine! is a very different film than What is it?, though I understand their thematic links and connections. It is fine is done basically as a straight seventies thriller, albeit one where the protagonist is a man with cerebral palsy who you can’t understand at all who’s obsessed with long women’s hair and murders women after (and sometimes before) having sex with them. That’s filmed on an obvious soundstage, and so on.
I like it a ton, but I imagine most people would hate it. There is full penetration between Stephen (who you saw in What is it?) and several women.
[/QUOTE]
I have been fascinated by this film ever since I first heard about it, but I don’t think it is screening around here anytime soon. From what I understand, the lead actor with cerebral palsy was also the writer. Is it exploitative (in a bad way)? I’m sure it is hard to watch, but I’ve done some studying on the moral model of disability theory, and this sounds worth seeing just from an analytical standpoint.
That picture is also reproduced in Feral House publishing’s “Apocaylpse Culture II”

Seconded. I’d actually love that on the wall of a den or home theater.
Properly framed, of course.

I don’t think that it’s exploitative at all. Crispin talked about this a bit (the only way to see the film is to go see it when he tours with it and talks about it), how he specifically didn’t want it to appear to be some sort of “Make a Wish” type deal, as Stephen gets to have sex with (for real) several beautiful actresses before murdering them (not for real) - as a guy with pretty severe CP, it could appear that Crispin is “throwing him a bone” by putting him in those situations. One fratboy audience member even asked as much. But it’s clear that Steven wrote the entire film to be a straight “seventies thriller,” and it’s basically played completely straight - except Steven’s in a wheelchair and you can’t understand him and so on.
Ha! I love the poster. Frame it, hang it, enjoy. The movie looks pretty fucked up so naturally I want to see it.
Since we’re discussing Crispin Glover and his movies as well as this poster, do you think this thread would get more action in Cafe Society?
Eh, I’m another one who thinks it’s a rather compelling poster. But then, I’m really, really, really looking forward to seeing The Wizard of Gore. Anyone caught that yet? It’s gotten a great rating so far on the IMDb.
[QUOTE=VCO3]
And then I realized that there’s probably no way I could ever display this in my home without someone getting any number of wrong ideas. And then I realized that I can’t even imagine taking it somewhere to get framed.
[/QUOTE]
You probably shouldn’t take it to Hobby Lobby or any big corporate chain where so many different people will have a chance to look at your art one of them is bound to be offended…
But most independent frame shops exist to make money framing things, not make judgements about people’s choices.
This discussion comes up among groups of framers (framing geeks like me) fairly regularly. “Is there anything you wouldn’t frame?” “What about something used in a crime? Or Nazi memorabilia?”
The concensus is generally that as long as it isn’t biohazardous, or illegal to posess most of us will frame it. As long as the customer agrees to pay our quoted price.
“On ze gut ship, Lollipop,
Is a schweet trip zu der candy schop-
Wer bonbons play,
On das sunny beach uf Pzeppermint bay”
I think the poster’s great. I doubt you’d be taken for a skinhead or a neo-Nazi, but I would take it to a non-chain framing shop (be prepared to pay big Geld und schmile!)
I just came in to say that even I wouldn’t put that up on my wall. (heh,heh)
