today I learned how most of sga & sg-1 were auctioned off
…and I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe, not least among them the fact that someone paid $4500 yes you are correct that would be FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for this, and therefore somewhere out there in the world, some otherwise very nice normal people have this hanging in their…bathroom? kitchen? bedroom? [yeah ngl I’m totally envious okay]
The FXSMITH Studio Collection Online Auction
March 23-26, 2015
Do you regret not having all the money in the world? Regret it even more as you peruse the massive prop auction going on right now, including SOMETHING LIKE 70% OF THE ORIGINAL PROPS FROM JACOB’S LADDER.
sistercy linked me and I literally started wheezing. I’ve spent years trying to get tiny glimpses of this stuff, only a handful of pictures have ever been available, and everything but the Devil itself (and like some of the stock limbs and things, the pig head and the subway “tail” are missing too) is on full display in high-res. I screencapped everything and downloaded the .pdf catalogue as an extra backup.
The Mimic, Total Recall, and Graveyard Shift lots are also interesting, but I’m flipping the fuck out over Jacob’s Ladder because not only is it my favorite movie ever, most of the props have never seen the light of day. This stuff is seriously rare. LOOK AT THIS STUFF!
(gets a little gory and a little long whoops)
My stagecraft self is weeping huge globby anime tears. I knew that everything in Jacob’s Ladder was 1) oldschool and 2) ingenious, but who ever suspected that the eyes from the cut ‘purge’ scene...
...were based in painted latex stretched through ordinary embroidery hoops?
Who knew that nightmarish snapping devil mouth...
...was a freaking hand puppet?
Who knew they made “approximately 37″ potential horns for that single nurse shot and chose the best? C’mon, dude, break that shit up, charge like fifty for the one that appeared and tenbux for the rest. You could totally get tenbux apiece for those. TWENTY. COME ON.
The entire medical set from the hospital scene is up for grabs. I’m dying. I hope this goes to some kinkster with a strong appreciation for cinema, because we already know it’s going to some kinkster.
I could technically probably buy this. There are just 80,000 reasons not to, 78,000 of them just being NO and about 1,999 relating to the horrendous nightmares it would give me. The last is me going “no actually that would be an incredibly fucked up gift for your birdfriend Del Jesus wept what is wrong with you YES I KNOW IT WAS A NICE DATE NIGHT THAT CHANGES NOTHING”.
Please note those teeth are articulated. As in you can move them. I hope whoever buys this stuff makes a haunted house so good they get arrested.
DREAMY SIGH
