[MOPO] What was your very first poster?
Hi again, My very first posters were a Casablanca R49 lobby set and an Enforcer os that my sister bought me around 1970 from Cinemabilia? when she moved to New York to pursue a dance career. I gave one of the cards to my best friend in college (with whom I was having a contest to see who could see the most Bogart films). Still have all the rest of the cards. The Enforcer went in a trade that netted me a beautiful Pola Negri window card.

[MOPO] mopo: re Pulp Fiction advance
Hi modern poster collectors, The Pulp Fiction advance one-sheet that I bought at a sale is the one with the Lucky Strike pack after all. So how do I tell if it is authentic or a copy? This poster was one of about a dozen other os, which I was very sure were original. Joel Katte is interested in your expertise too. Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks, Michael, Cinecityposters.

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
Great question Michael...of course it may "date" a few of us... :) I'd like to break this down into 2 parts--the 1st poster I ever owned and the 1st poster I ever paid for. My local movie theatre manager started giving me one-sheets when I was in High School writing reviews for the school newspaper. I "needed" them for the credit information when I was writing my reviews, or so I told him! (I hadn't ever heard of a press book at that time, not that my small-town theatre would have had one anyway!) He gave me the one-sheet for "Paper Moon," which I still have today. I wanted "The Poseidon Adventure" but he'd already given it away. The first one-sheet I ever PAID for was "Summer of '42" which I bought via mail order from Marc Ricci's (sp??) Memory Shop in New York. I think I paid $2.75 for it. Incidentally, "Sumer of '42" was the first R-rated movie I was able to see "on my own", so buying the poster seemed logical. Of course the movie is rated PG today. Scott MoPo List Owner -Original Message- From: MoPo List On Behalf Of Michael Danese Subject: [MOPO] What was your very first poster? My first poster was an insert from Bridge on the River Kwai. The cost was $5. which I thought was a small fortune. I still have it. It was about 1970 at an antique shop in Philly. That did it for me.

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
A lot of leading theme questions lately. Is it a virus or what? While some theme questions can bear interesting fruit, I'm not quite sure why anyone's first poster would be of much interest to anyone else... unless one is looking to elicit stories about how people got into collecting movie posters in the first place. In which case, why not ask that question? -- JR Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
I actually already wrore about my first poster...the one sheet from MACABRE I bought...but I then started buying tons of stuff from Theater Poster Exchange back in 1964. Lobby sets were $2.50, one sheets 75 cents, half sheets & inserts were either 50 or 75 cents. All prices were the same , regardless of the title. I had lots of major 50s sc-fi/horror title in a little trunk in my bedroom. (Unfortunately, I sold most of it off in the mid-to-late 1980s...just before the prices exploded!) I met a great guy named Malcolm Willits in Hollywood during a family vacation, and he was very supportive in my interest in cinema material (my parents just thought I was nuts!) He sold me a DEVIL COMMANDS one sheet for five bucks, and lots of other wonderful material in his store. In 1964/65, he turned me onto someone who had original Universal material for sale. The prices were outrageous!!! Why, they wanted as much as fifty bucks for stuff from BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and THE WOLF MAN! I tried to borrow the money from my Dad to buy some of the material, but he just said absolutely not and tried to get me interested in collecting something more normal...like..stamps or coins. Bo-o-oring! Boy, if I just had a time machine to take me back to Hollywood Blvd in 1964, I'd pony up that fifty bucks fearlessly , come back to 2006, sell the BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN poster, and buy my Dad a nice house. That'll show him! The hobby has certainly changed price-wise in the last 40 years, but it's remarkably similar in many ways!

[MOPO] Want List Blues
Bravo Michael! I loved your post. We've all been through it and learn from our mistakes. What never seizes to amaze me is how dealers working in this field for many years don't know the difference between a one sheet and an insert, a US vs. foreign, and a re-release vs. an original. I collect mainly best picture winners and Disney one sheets and am at a snag because I am down to the early 1930s and the cost at auction is the equivalent of a house note. But still, I've posted a want list from time to time and gotten responses offering British Quads or French one sheet "originals" for more than the US originals are going at auction. We learn to very quickly hit the delete key when certain dealers names show up. Congrats on your Lost Horizon one sheet. I had trouble finding that one until I used a magnifying glass to read the sma! ll print in "Movie Collector's World." I also had success with Freeman and a woman named Mahtab who hasn't been around in a while unless she changed her log on ID. Don't give up posting your want list. It's free and if anything you'll get a laugh out of the responses. On another note, my first poster was given to me by the theater manager. It's a one sheet from the Graduate which I put on my older sister's wall the day of her high school graduation. I ruined it by writing with marker, "Congratulations Arlene!" The first poster I bought was from the Sound of Music because it was and still is my favorite movie. Steve What are the most popular cars? Find out at Yahoo! Autos
[MOPO] FS: SPARTACUS roadshow material: ONE SHEET ROADSHOW POSTER: SOUNDTRACK RECORD POSTERS
Roadshow 70mm material for SPARTACUS is scarce. MovieArt has a near mint U.S. one sheet, roadshow for this film and we are offering it for $3000. It is folded and unbacked. Special display 22x28s with the paintingS of the cast members have been seen and we have a few of these. Also roadshow lobbies with the title card have turned up occasionally. But the one sheet has only been seen a few times. I had one I bought from Cinemonde in the late 1980s and it sold for $650. I know another roadshow material collector purchased one within the last several years for $2400. The art is the same as the soundtrack record cover and similar to the British quad. Of course, the format is the normal 27x41 format. In addition to this material, MovieArt has had consigned to it some very wonderful material from the holdings of a family- owned record store that was shuttered in 1972. It was like a virtual time capsule when the contents were recently sold for a six figure sum. Over thirty thousand sealed LPs, 45s, 78s. I was not consigned any records - I don't sell them - but I was allowed to sell some of the display materials. There is some Decca Records display material for the Soundtrack Recording of SPARTACUS. Several different counter standees. These are remarkably good, and one looks like the one sheet. There is another special poster that has all of the character paintings on one poster. This is an actual poster. These are not movie posters. They are store displays, and are, if anything, probably rarer than film posters. In the case of this film, however, maybe not so much rarer because of the roadshow status. Of course, 35mm release posters from SPARTACUS are not particularly rare, but are not nearly as sought after as the roadshow material. If anyone would like to inquire about any of this material from SPARTACUS, contact me. In addition, there is some other display material that is quite good including some dynamite pieces on SINATRA, PATSY CLINE, AL JOLSON, JULIE LONDON and others.

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
Hi, all. This is my first MoPo post. My very first poster dates me back to the 70s as well. It was a one-sheet for Ralph Bakshi's Heavy Traffic. I got it when I was a member of my college film society. I think it was an extra copy we got by accident, otherwise it would've been returned to the distributor. Either that or it was a spare. Anyway, still have it, though it's in pretty rough shape. Gotten a better copy since then. Hope I did this right. Never posted to a listserv before.

[MOPO] Joan Crawford / My favorite poster
Freeman: We have to meet sometime...this is the second great thing you sent my way this month: the great tip on "Stepping into Liquid" and now the Joan Crawford clip. I have an extensive collection of Crawford memorabilia and posters, and despite the terrible dip her reputation has taken, I continue to be amazed at the variety of roles she played and her incredible longevity in the business (ditto Susan Hayward, Barbara Stanwyck, Claudette Colbert)..this clip was a fun and humorous bit of eye candy. The first movie poster I ever got and which still graces my family room...Raiders of the Lost Ark... Amstel went to school here in Philly, and I derive great satisfaction that my son is going to school for graphic design and illustration, and has also developed a great deal of love of the movies. This has been, by the way, a great thread to learn what other MOPO folks find valuable in their collections!!

Re: [MOPO] is aol acting up, again??
Michael - I got it twice. When I do a reply all, as I am doing here, to another AOL user like you who posted, the one to MOPO goes through, the one to the AOL user gets bounced. Glad another AOL user suddenly had the light go on over their head about this. It's not an anti-AOL conspiracy. It is well known from talking to other ISPs that AOL have a regular policy of barring some ISPs from their mail servers. It's called "business". That is, causing as much disruption to your competitor's clients at the expense of your own customers in the hope that out of frustration they'll turn to you for business. Yes, right. I don't think so. A small glimmer of hope. I had an email from a friend today who said, "I finally realised AOL was stopping me get emails I need to get and have now changed to another server."

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
My first poster was from a man in California by the name of John Cawley Jr. He used to publish a magazine called "Private Screenings" in the early 1970's. I believe he worked at Walt Disney Studio's in the animation department. He had an ad in his publication for a James Bond 1965 re-release one sheet of "Dr. No & "From Russia With Love" (double bill) for only $6.00 I was not aware of the way the poster looked so I wrote to him and he kindly sent me an 8 x 10 color photograph of it. He said he took photo's of all his posters and had 8 x 10's made. I can't believe Mr. Cawley was so kind for only a $6.00 sale. Anyway I bought the one sheet and it is displayed to this day on my closet door in a silver neilsen frame. In December I bought the 1965 insert as a companion to celebrate my 40 years of being a 007 collector. --Tom Pennock Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Probably a stack of Universal daybills when I was 11 (in 1961) The guy at U-I ad sales in Sydney gave them to me and said, "and don't come back", advice I never took. The guys at Paramount were much nicer and the guy at BEF was terrific.

Re: [MOPO] Brokeback Blues Backlash: DIDN'T WEEP KONG EITHER
I think Kirby, in a nutshell, summed up my feelings about Brokeback Mountain. For me it was a very cerebral film and that was it's strength and beauty to me also. I did cry and in some parts of the film very hard, and I was in a theater mostly of women seeing a matinee so there was a lot of tears and sniffles going on. I thought long and hard about why the film made me so emotional and for me, personally, I not only felt the hopelessness of the character's situation but also the struggle that still goes on today. As for Kong, I liked it. While I agree none of the acting performances were anything special, they were o.k., and I found myself on the edge of my seat a few times and did manage to forget Kong wasn't real. It was a fun movie that I saw with my nine year old daughter and we held hands and jumped in all the right places. So, that adds to it's fun for me. Afterwards we came home and watched the original King Kong late into the night. Coincendentally, we had just seen the Jessica Lange version over Christmas. So, we are all now King Konged out!!

We'll see. It opens at our local flea-pit of a theatre this week and making the exception to go see it. I'm one of the few people ( it seems) that saw beyond WAR OF THE WORLDS as a science fiction blockbuster remake of a fondly-remembered but hardy classic 1953 SF film, that used H.G. Wells source for the same thing Wells did - to make a political statement. A lot of people don't like that. They just want "entertainment". Sadly, thought-provoking films, are rapidly becoming a thing of the past as more and more people just want disposable eye candy delivered in fast-food size chunks for easy digestion and waste removal. That was also the mistake Peter Jackson made with KONG, I think. He made a film for people that wanted a film to take its time to tell its story, people it with more fully drawn characters than the original and give plenty of bang for the buck, along with some ideas and concepts that were almost Swiftian in their concepts. Apart from the short attention span of many (most?) film goers these days, Jackson didn't consider that dreaded enemy lurking out there that Spielberg also encountered.. the Old Film Fart Brigade (the OFFB) just lying in wait, ready to hate any remake of a film they choose to perceive as an "untouchable classic"... and long before it even opens. It's only a movie folks, at the end of the day. Enjoy, don't enjoy but don't whinge. Especially if you haven't seen it.

Re: [MOPO] Brokeback Blues Backlash
Looking forward to MUNICH. The fact that it got trashed by both "left" and "right", was accused of being TOO pro-Palestinian, not pro-Palestinian enough, and/or TOO pro-Israeli, or not pro-Israeli enough probably meant he had got the even-handed approach he wanted. We'll see. It opens at our local flea-pit of a theatre this week and making the exception to go see it. I'm one of the few people ( it seems) that saw beyond WAR OF THE WORLDS as a science fiction blockbuster remake of a fondly-remembered but hardy classic 1953 SF film, that used H.G. Wells source for the same thing Wells did - to make a political statement. A lot of people don't like that. They just want "entertainment". Sadly, thought-provoking films, are rapidly becoming a thing of the past as more and more people just want disposable eye candy delivered in fast-food size chunks for easy digestion and waste removal. That was also the mistake Peter Jackson made with KONG, I think. He made a film for people that wanted a film to take its time to tell its story, people it with more fully drawn characters than the original and give plenty of bang for the buck, along with some ideas and concepts that were almost Swiftian in their concepts. Apart from the short attention span of many (most?) film goers these days, Jackson didn't consider that dreaded enemy lurking out there that Spielberg also encountered.. the Old Film Fart Brigade (the OFFB) just lying in wait, ready to hate any remake of a film they choose to perceive as an "untouchable classic"... and long before it even opens. It's only a movie folks, at the end of the day. Enjoy, don't enjoy but don't whinge. Especially if you haven't seen it. Phil David Kusumoto wrote: Two words for this movie and most of the rat race is buying it... G I M M I C K&H Y P E Duane: Have you seen this picture? If so, back it up. If you haven't, let me ask you: are you just proud you're not "giving in" to what you feel is undeserved praise for a movie you had zero intention of seeing anyway? I don't see how anyone who's seen "Brokeback," even if they think it's overpraised (as I do), will say the gay-theme is a "gimmick." Hype, however, has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with marketing and critical praise that feels disproportionate to what's being sold. I could make a case for it, but "Brokeback" had danger written all over it before it gained any traction to get where it is today. Focus Features, the people who brought you "Lost in Translation" -- hardly a major film distributor or studio -- is responsible for "Brokeback." I'll tell you what "hype" is -- it's when a film opens on more than 1,500 screens, gets saturation TV ads by a major distributor like Paramount or Warners or Sony-Columbia or NewLine -- just pick any film that opens on any given weekend, finishes #1 its first week -- and then disappears. That's HYPE -- that's the "rat race" you describe that buys movies based on previews and ads BEFORE reading product labels or giving two s about reviews and the like. That happens EVERY week. "King Kong" was the most hyped film of the year -- but you know what -- despite its flaws, it earned its hype and produced the best value for my $10 in 2005. "Brokeback" opened IN DECEMBER, very slowly, to give it a chance to find an audience BEYOND those who were gonna see it regardless. When it opened, it was on a handful of screens in New York and LA. That's it. I may not think the film is great cinema, but as a person who knows a little about publicity and marketing, the people at Focus Features are geniuses. It's not perfect, but if you're a p.r. person, at least "Brokeback" is nothing you have to apologize about when the boss isn't looking. It's still a good film. Just not a great film. As for the nominations, the thing I found interesting (and this goes in waves) -- is every film nominated for Best Pic (Crash, Good Night and Good Luck, Capote, Brokeback Mountain) -- except Munich -- was independent, the type of film first shown in "Landmark" art house type theaters (Kirby's favorite, hooray!). The only "big budget" picture "best pic" nominee among 'em, and the budget itself was modest by Spielberg standards, is "Munich," which got mixed reviews. As Spielberg says this week in Newsweek, he expected to be "hit" by the "right" by his film -- but was shocked to be hit by what he felt were shrill critics on the "left." Personally, I was hoping "King Kong" or even "Cinderella Man" would sneak in there this morning, just to prevent the art house "snobs" (grin) from taking over -- because all 5 best pic nominees were message or preachy films, not crowd pleasers. And that's a downer to me. Even "Match Point" got zonked, and it was Woody Allen's best film since 1989. -koose.

Re: [MOPO] Best Movie Poster in your collection
I like this topic. I actually read it instead of my auto delete. :) My FAVORITE poster in my collection as a true collector is also my FAVORITE movie. SINGIN IN THE RAIN one sheet. It is extra special since at one time fellow MOPO member SUE HEIM owned this very poster. She also framed it. If that isn't karma, I don't know what is. :) Can I add what my top FAVORITE want to buy someday when I have the money poster is? PHILADELPHIA STORY. Some day.
