5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week   Infra-Man Poster (eBay link) – My love for the movie Infra-Man has been well documented. If you haven’t seen it, shame on you. This poster seems to come from a Post-Star Wars rerelease of the movie, and a friend of mine pointed out something odd about it. […]
