I just called Comcast regarding the Movie Poster Channel, and they
told me that MPC will producing an original dramatic series called
"Poster Dragnet." It's about a humorless cop, played by Joe Bonelli,
who tries to smash a ring of crooks dealing in minty-white
Bladerunner inserts. In the first episode, they manage to throw him
off the trail by producing large quantities of minty-whites for films
like V.I. Warshawski and The Gumball Rally.
Sadly, my local Comcast is charging $17.95 per month for this
channel, and I refuse to pay it.

Phillip and Evan,
Thanks for the turn-on to this article. It's always good to see our
hobby sneak into a major media outlet. Actually, I just recently
added The Movie Poster Channel on my cable system, and it is non-
stop riveting viewing. I especially love "Pinhole Counter's
Corner", an hour show with a different anal-retentive condition
freak on every day, whining about dealers who missed a scuff mark
or a tiny bit of foxing in their description. "Eugene Hughes Talks
About Business Ethics" is also an instructive daily lesson in
building a solid reputation within the collecting community, and I
have learned a lot from it. But The Movie Poster Channel is not
just "All dweebs, all the time". There's a Friday night cage match
between Bruce Hershenson and a different dealer every week. While
the West Plains Warrior may look a few pounds overweight, so far he
has solidly beaten all comers. Don't let that Jerry Mathers-like
smile fool you; the man is an animal in the ring. However, he'll be
up against Rich Halegua just after Cinevent. Rich will be energized
and ready. I'm warming up my TIVO.
Ask your cable company about The Movie Poster Channel, and tell 'em
Greg sent you.
