Freeman,
I have four things to say in support of Linenbacking:
A SAILOR MADE MAN
Further, thank you for the succinct DARK KNIGHT review w/o the
gushing spoilers you constantly lob like
paper tape grenades when telling me about your fave films (and you
know I'm kidding...or am I?).
Happy Birthday! And may you have all the backing necessary for
proper display...when not held up to the light, of course.
Patrick (or am I?)
ps: From what I've seen of Heath Ledger's performance it felt very
reminiscent of Brandon Lee's performance in THE CROW. Post death, of
course.

Michael if you can't substantiate then ......damn I can't think of
a word that rhymes.
(And really all I want to talk about is THE DARK KNIGHT)
BUT I NEED TO END THIS HERE
(SCROLL TO DARK KNIGHT IF THE FOLLOWING CAUSES INFLAMATION)
Michael's original posting
Ron, your comment attests to the fact that UNBACKED, UNRESTORED is
better.
moreover, why back something due to minor flaws. backed posters
are always suspect.
Remember.............wjen you buy INBACKED, UNRESTORED, YOU KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GETTING, AND THEY ARE WORTH A PREMIUM!!!!

My sage and intelligent rebuttal - Is there a limit to the number
of moronic statements a Mopo member can make in a week?
Michael YOU WIMP I know you are capable (besides proper
conjugation, punctuation, subject and predicate) of something
clever but VICTIMIZED? That's so Jesse Jackson! You could have
come back with (and I offer these free of charge, I am just that
kind of guy)
1. Well I don't know how many posts Freeman, but you just used one!
2. Well gee Freeman show me a moronic statement, bitch!
3. Oh you tink you're so smart cuz you can spel.
4. I will not dignify that with an answer because I look stupid
already
5. Who the Hell do you think you are..........Claude LItton? I've
read his posts and you sir are no Claude Litton!
6. That's my opinion and say what you want but that's MY opinion.
(Of course I never pay a premium for pristine as everyone
knows ..... :)
QUESTION? Were you paper backed at an early age? Were you forced
to stretch canvas in a windowless basement in Idaho? Did your Mom
actually say to you "Oh honey I wouldn't change a thing!" Your
constant demonizing of linen backing said in absolutes I am
finally calling you on. NOTHING PERSONAL I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE ON
MOPO......I WISH OTHERS WOULD CHIME IN. BUT AS A FRIEND DUDE
YOU'VE BECOME CURRY..... A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.
First
It is not a fact unrestored and unbacked is better. There are
countless rare one sheets, but more so French and Italian
masterpieces of printing that require deacidification and backing
to keep the inks from structurally eating the actual paper poster
is printed on especially those pre-1960. Michael just throw out
a number - of titles that represents. Forget it you'll hurt
yourself. Its 11,612 potential posters give or take I think maybe.
Second
Linen backed posters are not even slightly suspect because anyone
can determine what has been done. YOU DISPARAGE THE
PROFESSIONALISM, ARTISTRY AND INTERGRTY OF THOSE GIFTED STEWARDS OF
VINTAGE PAPER with such an egregious insult as well as dealers
WHO INVEST WITH THEIR COLD HARD CASH TO PRESENT A POSTER AT ITS
BEST DETERMINING EXACTLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND TO WHAT DEGREE
and REVEAL HONESTLY AS BEST THEY CAN AT TIME OF SALE, TRADE OR
CONSIGNMENT. Michael I PROMISE YOU, MOST sellers are one with
Angels bringing joy, happiness, and clever witticisms and bon mots
of knowledge and expertise with enthusiasm and energy to
collectors far and wide ................mostly far lately (Thank
you Europe!). .
So Michael get yourself two things no, three things. ONE a hand
held black light for card stocks and TWO single halogen work lamp
for posters. The veil is lifted, clarity can be yours! You can
see with black-light the touch ups of even the most discreet and
professional air brushing on card stock or other papers too opaque
to have light pass through..........With the halogen turn the
poster facing the bulb and read the shadows that magically appear
through the linen those shadows tell you touch ups, paper
replacement, border repairs and sometime a phone number for
Althea the Concession Girl who brings new meaning to the question
"extra butter?"
The THIRD thing a sense of humor.............for God's sake I
didn't back over you with my jeep. I am SAVING THAT FOR JEFF
POTOKAR :))
To everyone who posted such lovely comments you made my
Birthday.....Yes I turned 52 yesterday.,............DAMN! NOW
MY ASS NEEDS BACKING discreet of course........DARIO!
THE DARK KNIGHT
My great friend, Ron Magid took me to an all media screening at
the UNIVERSAL STUDIOS IMAX last night . I cannot recommend
enough this triumph of commercial yet intelligent and galvanizing
storytelling. If you have the opportunity to see it at an IMAX,
DO MAKE THE EFFORT. Extensive footage was shot in the IMAX
format and its vertiginous, spellbinding, and exhilarating effect
to a supremely complex and layered examination of the human
condition at its darkest moments creates a momentous movie
experience. Everyone is great but HEATH LEDGER is a miracle of
psychopathic terrorism that squeaks the most nervous laughter and
awe in his escalating monstrosity the likes not seen since Hopkins
in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS .... or myself.
