I agree with Kirby on this one. I have seen some poster listed as re-issues on
the poster itself. Also, there are quite a few re-release posters from
Republic Pictures during the 1940's that clearly state "Re-print" on them.

| I disagree with JR here. I've used the term re-issue for years and I find his assertion "a distinction without a difference." Re-release is correct also, but I see nothing wrong with reissue. MovieArt lists films thusly: GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) reissue of 1980, for example. Yes films are regarded as "released" but the poster may be said to be issued (a paper term, if you will) and re-issued. My 50 cent worth. Kirby McDaniel www.movieart.net On Oct 1, 2005, at 2:49 PM, JR wrote: Hope, You were completely correct -- anyone who suggests otherwise is trying to claim that only the first release of a film can produced an "original" movie poster and that just isn't logical. Very simply: Any movie poster that was produced by the studio and sent to the theaters to be used to advertise the film in question qualifies as an "original" movie poster. By the way, this gives me an opportunity to comment on something that has been bothering me: Movies are "released" -- they are NOT "issued". "Re-issue" is the wrong term to apply to a movie poster. I don't know how it came to be applied to movie posters, but I've been seeing it thrown around a lot lately. It is an incorrect application and the term "re-issue" should never be used to describe a move poster. There is no such thing as a "re-issue" of a film -- the correct term is "re-release" and a poster produced to advertise the re-release of film should be correctly described as: "an original movie poster for the 1954 re-release of GONE WITH THE WIND" ... or whatever. -- JR ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2005 13:17 Subject: [MOPO] A question for you pros
I have advertised posters on ebay as "original movie posters" even
though they are re-issues. I had hoped by putting them in the
appropriate years catagory buyers would know they were re-issues.
My logic was that since they were printed and sent to movie theatres by
the advertising distributor they were originals and not copies, just
another and subsequent printing.
I've received notes from one of the pros in the business suggesting that
I was misleading the buyers.
Do you agree? Should I be saying, "original re-issue" in the subject?
What do you think. What would you say.
I have added the following note to my 2 posters in question:
This Poster is an original re-release from 1980. It was made by the
distributor after the initial original posters were printed.
I appreciate your comments since I pride myself on my honesty and
integrity and am always willing to learn.
many thanks
Hope
