Hey Rick-
Taking a bit of a detour here from the WOODSTOCK discussion but I have to comment. Your analogy to Fredric March trying his damndest to make reality conform to his "reality" in INHERIT THE WIND is a riot!
Not dissing Dave on this. As some of you know, I am the pastor of two churches. I am thinking of all of the "committees", "boards" and "councils" that I sit on and how often I have seen performances by members of these groups give Fredric March's performance a run for his money in trying to make their points. I will keep this image in my mind from now on to help me relax and step back a bit mentally when my patience and temper are about to blend into one!
Thanks for a smile.
Steve

Subject: [MOPO] Really FAKE Woodstock posters
Hey, Dave,
You're starting to sound like Fredric March at the end of "Inherit The Wind"--- frantically clinging on to your belief that these fake posters are real-----as if your whole existence rides on that fact...
We all know a lot of MONEY certainly is at stake. Hey, you might have a roll of 50 of those suckers in your inventory. You're just as stubborn with this situation as you were with the Vertigo one sheet a few months ago---kind of like Fredric March rattling off the names of the books of the Bible as his sanity implodes.
You can create your own reality if you want about the authenticity of these one sheets--or your rolled Cool Hand Luke one sheet--or your rolled Yellow Submarine one sheets. The problem is-----the reality you create could very well affect a lot of unsuspecting buyers who put their faith in you as some kind of movie poster "expert". You've made it clear as day in your posts that you're no expert when it comes to movie posters. You can rattle off some trumped up facts about the Woodstock one sheets being real (honestly, it's getting to sound a little too much like Fredric March rattling off the names of the books of the Bible---kind of scary).
Welcome to Movie Poster 1984---wrong is right + bad is good + fake is real....
Rick
