MANUFACTURER: UNKNOWN
PIECES: 1500
MOVIES: BATMAN (TV SERIES), FLIRTING WITH DISASTER
Date: November 6th, 2016
If there's one thing that makes me feel more nostalgic than puzzles, it's the 1960's Batman TV series. I'm sure even people that have never seen it still know what it is, so no need to describe what there is to like about it. I don't think I actually saw the series until I was 18 or 19, but I have a lot of memories of the renting the 1966 movie at the A.A. Brown library in Mobridge, SD. Along with Felix the Cat and the ABC Weekend Special "The Red Room Riddle", this was the go-to rental. This puzzle though, was done just after I bought the new available DVD releases of the TV show, so that's what I was watching.
The second movie was the 1996 David O. Russell film Flirting With Disaster. A pretty funny Ben Stiller movie that definitely paved the way for Meet the Parents and his 2000's cringe comedies.
This puzzle is where I learned the limits of my coffee table. You can see the top of the puzzle is hanging over the edge, and usually puzzles don't have a whole lot of rigidity to them so I mostly stuck to 1000 and under after this one. I also learned that a lot of the puzzle companies are European, since the dimensions were in centimeters. So I've had to remember to my table can accommodate in both imperial and metric (23" or 59 cm FYI).
I put unknown as the puzzle manufacturer, but I suspect that it was a company called F.X. Schmid. I've looked online at other puzzle boxes from the company, and their logo and font seem familiar. Also, they're European,
I obviously still hadn't learned to take the photo from a good angle, nor clear the puzzle of any loose items. Cameo credit to my girlfriend Lia's bobby pin.
