This one\u2019s a commission I just completed for a private client about Montreal\u2019s notorious grindhouse theater of yore, The Cristal! As such, what we have here is a raw scan of the B&amp;W pen &amp; ink art, no digitally enhanced gradients or colors, suitable for framing, exactly as delivered! Try reading <em>THIS<\/em> one on your hand-held device! You might think I\u2019m deliberately cramming a million details into my splash-pages on purpose because of my contempt for the thumbnailization of culture we\u2019re currently suffering through, but I actually started pulling this stunt back in the 80\u2019s when free weekly The Montreal Mirror reduced the size of my comics to make space for their ads! I was so annoyed I decided to start handing in impossibly ornate drawings so they\u2019d look like postage stamps once printed &amp; maybe change their minds to gimme more space! Hence this is how the original format for my Maxi Motion Picture Purgatories got birthed! This installment manages to touch on topless female 70\u2019s Asian kung fu flicks, XXX Through the Looking Glass (1976), Night of the Living Dead (1968), Pearl White from Perils of Pauline (1914), Boogie Nights (1997), Marilyn Chambers in David Cronenberg\u2019s Rabid (1977), John Carpenter\u2019s The Thing (1982), Montreal\u2019s Club Soda, gentrification, molesters, winos, &amp; Shopsy hotdogs among other things!
