Batman: 20 years ago!

(Click on image to view larger.)

Commemorating the 20 year anniversary of the movie's release. Clipped from the June 23, 1989 edition of the Beckley Herald-Register. I really can't believe it's been that bloody long ago! Unreal...

Read the longer post on the anniversary over at my other blog, Fantastic Flashbacks!

As much as I love all things Trek, Batman '89 remains my all time favorite movie. There will never be a summer movie like that ever again...Thanks so much for posting this!

When I realized sometime last year that 2009 was TWENTY YEARS since Batman was released, I truly felt my age. I was never wild about the movie, although I certainly didn't dislike it either, but I have never waited in a longer line to see a movie in my entire life. I went to see it with three of my high school buddies and we waited for over an hour in a line that went out the door, down the sidewalk and around the block. That movie was truly a phenomenon.

Welcome to my vintage newspaper movie ad blog!

When I was younger I clipped out the ads of the movies I wanted to go see and put them in a scrapbook. I also enjoyed hunting through old newspapers I would find here and there, and saving the ads from those as well. Some that I've gleaned from relative's old closets and attics go back to the 50's!

Rather than let them sit there in the old notebook I saved them in, I decided I'd share them with you. Every single entry on this blog page are from actual newspaper clippings that I own and have scanned in, so click on any image to view biggie size.

Although this blog will mostly feature nostalgic vintage newspaper movie ads, I'll also throw in an occasional newspaper article about the movie that I found, as well as ads and items from various TV guides about movies and shows that I liked. And who knows what else? That dog-eared 37-year-old notebook is packed with goodies. Hopefully "Held Over!" will be fun to visit and will reawaken some of your own memories!
