Movie Hub --Creative Uses for Celebs Movie Photos
Movie photos are a fan’s biggest token of homage to a favorite, revered, or obsessed-over star.
I use movie photos of Nic Cage, for instance, to embellish my pc desktop—changing out the photo every month or so. I use Nic Cage photos for wallpaper border in my room, printing out each movie marquee and stringing them around the top of the walls on four sides so I have my own more delightful wallpaper border than some goofy grapes or teal toyboats. And I cut out movie prints and add my own talk bubbles: so Nic in Face-Off, when he’s in prison and magnetically restrained to the commissary floor and having one of his classic tantrums is saying “If I don’t get a date with So-and-so (insert my name here), I am gonna tear some asses up!”
Of course, you probably have your own methods and uses for movie photos.
You can blow them up to poster size, hang them over your bed so you have someone sweet to say goodnight to and greet you every morning. You can insert your stars pics in presentation binders or in the cups with the clear coating (which you can buy at an arts and crafts store). Or you can make slogan buttons with movie phots. For instance, when Nic won the academy award for his starring role in Leaving Las Vegas, I cut out a movie photo and glued it to an old political button, covering it with clear adhesive (typically used to laminate or line shelves).
You can also integrate movie photos into your web pages, but keep in mind copyright and intellectual (and other) property laws, respecting that we cannot just steal anything we fancy and slap it onto our domain spaces. But while you are online, and if you are looking for movie or other pictures, do a search for the name of the photo you seek in Google, then click “images”. You will get a slew of the featured photos at every website where that person or scene is depicted.
I do this for murderers on trial, website names embroiled in controversy, writers, scientists, and any clients I am about to work with (if I can find them there). It helps to get a visual sometimes, doesn’t it? If you agree, you could also try movie posters.com (I think it’s called that, or posters.com), though they of course, as a company trying to SELL you something, will return unrelated items for your search. Then again, ya never know: you could find something serendipitously!
Best of luck and fun trolling for movie shots.
