[MOPO] I need help with a new series of Sexiest pre-1960 actress ever Face/Offs!
I am going to start a three week series of Face/Offs, choosing the Sexiest pre-1960 actress ever! Here's how it will work: There will be 16 to start. The first 8 days they will go against each other. The next four days the winners of the first 8 will go against each other. Then the next two days the winners of those four will go against each other. and then the two last winners will have a final Face/Off! Now here are the rules: 1) They must be incredibly sexy (so I don't think great actresses like Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck or Joan Crawford qualify, but I am open to opposing viewpoints!) 2) They must be talented actresses who had substantial careers (so I don't think super-sexy women like Jayne Mansfield or Gina Lollabrigida qualify, but I am open to opposing viewpoints!) 3) They must have had a substantial portion of their career before 1960, and as an adult, so Natalie Wood, Ann-Margret, and tons of others don't qualify. Here is a preliminary list (in no particular order): Marilyn Monroe Sofia Loren Brigitte Bardot Jean Harlow Catherine Deneuve Grace Kelly Audrey Hepburn Kim Novak Louise Brooks Elizabeth Taylor Ava Gardner Ingrid Bergman Lana Turner Veronica Lake Gene Tierney Rita Hayworth Hedy Lamarr Diana Dors * HERE IS WHAT I AM ASKING OF YOU!* 1) Who deserves to be on the above list, but isn't? 2) Who is on the above list, but doesn't deserve to be? 3) What is the sexiest single image you have ever seen of any or all of the above (or your alternate choices)? I will use the best of them to create the Face/Off images! I will be fascinated to see what you great minds come up with. If this goes well, I will follow it with a post-1960 version. -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 26 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.

Re: [MOPO] I need help with a new series of Sexiest pre-1960 actress ever Face/Offs!
Looking at the list, I think you need to slightly adjust the description of the face-off. These are all actresses who had major career success in the 40s and 50s. My initial thought was to suggest names from the 20s and 30s, but I don¹t think that is where you are going. BTW, the list looks good for those rules (career after 1945 and before 1960) Jay Nemeth-Johannes 8901 N Rexleigh Dr Bayside, WI 53217 (970) 290-9797 (Cell) -- On 7/7/12 8:11 AM, Bruce Hershenson brucehershen...@gmail.com wrote: I am going to start a three week series of Face/Offs, choosing the Sexiest pre-1960 actress ever!

Re: [MOPO] FS: MY FAIR LADY Deluxe Roadshow Lobby Set
We have three of the individual cards for about $25.00 each. These are the roadshow Warners oversized stills. Not common and at $150.00 for an entire set clearly a good deal. They are a little different from the Fox sets, which are indeed very deluxe, so the printer may (probably was a different provider.)

Re: [MOPO] I need help with a new series of Sexiest pre-1960 actress ever Face/Offs!
I think if you're going to consider Diana Dors an actress, you've got to put Jayne Mansfield, Gina Lolabrigida and Jane Russell on that list, too. Jennifer Jones needs to go on the list as well, since she was a real actress.

[MOPO] Introduction, MoviePosterCollectors.com, and MPC Hall of Shame
Hello everybody. I've been collecting since March 2009 and have accumulated 1,200 posters, which I've showcased on my personal website Posternirvana.com http://www.posternirvana.com. I joined this group primarily to promote my general reference website Moviepostercollectors.com http://www.Moviepostercollectors.com and its various sections, including the Seller's Hall of Shamehttp://www.moviepostercollectors.com/Fake_Sellers.html . MoviePosterCollectors.com is a general reference website aimed at newbies. It includes sections on valuationhttp://www.moviepostercollectors.com/Valuation.html, buying http://www.moviepostercollectors.com/Buying_Guide.html, authentications of various postershttp://www.moviepostercollectors.com/Authentications.html, etc. I recommend you send a link to this website to newer collectors. It encapsulates the essential information I wish I had known when I started collecting. The newest section of MPC is the Seller's Hall of Shamehttp://www.moviepostercollectors.com/Fake_Sellers.html, which outs the worst sellers in the hobby. I encourage you to follow the links on that page and spread the word about these sellers, especially Tom Loce http://www.moviepostercollectors.com/Fake-Seller-tloceposters.html, who is the worst of the worst, as you'll see on the subpages devoted to his deceptive trade practices and fake posters that infest Ebay. I know many of you have hesitated to criticize the Hall of Shame sellers because you are concerned about being sued for defamation. As a lawyer with 15 years litigation experience, I'm fully capable of fending off any meritless suit brought by these charlatans. Truth is an absolute defense to defamation, and everything I've put up is true as far as I can reasonably determine. Also, systematic conning of customers is a subject of public concern, which has a higher defamation standard. Some of the Hall of Shame sellers, especially Loce, probably qualify as public figures, which has the highest defamation standard. Finally, of course, the administrators/owners of forums, chat rooms, and list-serves have full immunity per Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/online-activities-covered-section-230 If you have any additional information, corrections, or comments, please feel free to email me directly (alphamel1...@gmail.com). -- Mel Washington DC www.posternirvana.com: My personal movie poster collection www.moviepostercollectors.com: My general movie poster reference site Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] Ebay Buyer from hell
Have any of the Ebay sellers on this board had dealings with a Ebay Buyer named John Cioffi aka supabintan? He lives in Victoria, Australia and appears to be the buyer from hell. He purchased something from me on June 14. When I didn't receive payment from him, I sent him an Ebay Reminder ten days later on June 24, which did elicit a response and the response unfortunately was some nonsense about having trouble with PayPal and he wanted me to accept an alternate payment, which I almost never do anymore except for good customers that I've dealt with over the years. I reluctantly said I would accept a postal money order which he told me he'd send out by Express Mail. A few days later, he sent me some nonsense about how I should have graded the lobby card he purchased as Good condition and not as Excellent- because I said it had a few pinholes. This was before even paying for or receiving the lobby card in question and I probably should have known at that point that this buyer was going to be bad news. I told him that grading terms were subjective but a photo scan that was enlargeable was provided on Ebay, as well as a thorough description of all the defects on the card. He then sent me a list of links to photos of cards he owned which he wanted me to rate. I declined and asked him when he planned to pay for the card he bought from me. He once again promised to send the payment by Express Mail. As of last Thursday evening I still had not received a payment from this idiot and asked him for a tracking number which he refused to provide so I closed my Ebay Dispute and received a Final Value Fee from Ebay. He then proceeded to sent a tirade of e-mails, one of which DID contain a tracking number for an International Air Mail Delivery which was delivered to a USPS Disbatch Center in New York for distribution but was clearly not delivered to me as of yet. If I ever do get this payment, I'm sending it back unopened. I don't want to do business with jerks like this anymore. Life is too short. Unless you've got loads of patience, I'd recommend you add supabintan to your Bidder's Block List.

Re: [MOPO] Ebay Buyer from hell
Slightly off-topic but mostly on: Why is nothing ever easy any more? Maybe I'm showing my age, bu I can remember when people were honest, congenial, easy to deal with, and life was pleasant. Over the past few years (started when I was living in Jerusalem), I have become heavily involved in rescuing cats and kittens. You would not BELIEVE some of the people I have run into in this field. They are INSANE! I had one woman approach me in a Petsmart where I was offering rescued kittens for adoption, and she looked at me and said You're a turd. I was so shocked I didn't even know what to say!!! Not only with animals but movie paper, books, etc., I'm beginning to think the world has gone NUTS--except for me and everyone on MOPO.

This was before even paying for or receiving the lobby card in question and I probably should have known at that point that this buye! r was going to be bad news. I told him that grading terms were subjective but a photo scan that was enlargeable was provided on Ebay, as well as a thorough description of all the defects on the card. He then sent me a list of links to photos of cards he owned which he wanted me to rate. I declined and asked him when he planned to pay for the card he bought from me. He once again promised to send the payment by Express Mail. As of last Thursday evening I still had not received a payment from this idiot and asked him for a tracking number which he refused to provide so I closed my Ebay Dispute and received a Final Value Fee from Ebay. He then proceeded to sent a tirade of e-mails, one of which DID contain a tracking number for an International Air Mail Delivery which was delivered to a USPS Disbatch Center in New York for distribution but was clearly not delivered to me as of yet. If I ever do get this payment, I'm sending it back unopened. I don't want to do business with je! rks like this anymore. Life is too short. Unless you've got loads of p atience, I'd recommend you add supabintan to your Bidder's Block List.

[MOPO] Foreign Objects or Objections?
MoPo, Hi there. Sorry to hear about the Australian eBay rapscallion (well they did shoot down the Red Baron at least), hopefully he has a good twin that gets as much attention for being nice--but as the Bard S. (Shakespeare, not Bard/t Simpson ;) is quoted as saying: The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones. As I have been gathering Marx Brothers poster images, I have encountered some really nice posters with fun artwork from Belgium, Spain, Belgium, Argentina, Italy, and France. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to whether it might be more enjoyable to see some of those pieces included in the Art of the Marx Brothers book? I don't want to omit a valuable group of images if they would be of interest to fans of the films--and/or artwork, world-wide. I know Benito (eBay username: 3905miguel) has some wonderful examples and I'd be curious where else I might find some examples? Also searching for original color stills of the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy (want to prepare for the next project now to stay on top of things) if anyone is aware of those? I have found one of all five Marx Brothers in color from the 1950s, so excited to have that image published soon :) For Laurel and Hardy there are some rare color prints from the 30s by Harry Warnecke, so please let me know if you have those as well. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday (Gloria Stuart would have turned 102 that day) and lots of firecracker fun. Looking forward to seeing fellow collectors at the Beverly Hills show. Asked Grey to pimp me out for free labor (not to me ;) but if not I'll just visit and hold the Marx Brothers glass slides up to the light.

Bruce, I think you're absolutely right. But I think Franc is right to a degree also. I just took a class at a local community college (one semester). The kids (other students) seemed nice enough but there was a general atmosphere of thoughtlessness about them all in every direction; and their language was like nothing I ever heard. The F-word was every third word, s--t, b--ch, and they weren't even angry or upset about anything. This was just their normal speech. Can't imagine what I would have heard if they had been upset about something That's another thing I like about cats: The strongest language I heard from them is Meow, none of them has broken my heart, one of them has insulted me, none of them has been mean to me. They just want to love and be loved. Why don't people feel that way? I appreciate the negative economy and how this has hurt many people, but I didn't cause it, so don't blame me. And I am now convinced that every member of Congress is either a crook or an idiot. And would you like an example of greed, stupidity, selfishness, and more stupidity???

Re: [MOPO] Ebay Buyer from hell
I think a good deal of the problem stems from people no longer having to relate consistently to other people. I also believe that the cellphone and personal computer are the biggest contributors to anti-social behavior. People don't talk to each other when they're out in public. Instead they call or text someone who they apparently would rather be with. People seem to have even lost the ability to concentrate on a movie or a play for one consecutive hour. Now when you go to a theatre there are cellphones flashing and ringing every five minutes. IT's a pandemic. It's not a surprise to me that kids speak in the limited vulgar vocabulary you mentioned Judith because they've also lost the ability to spell, write sentences and read and it's all thanks to Twitter which has to be the biggest waste of time ever invented.

I agrerr Franc -- the social media has created a space to be anyone yoou wish and misrepresent everything..news .products etc.. service..You can make a fancy site and say anything... then if someone complains there is so much deception and chacter assaination that no one knows the truth because a good amount lie and cheat and there is Faux news the answer is keep walking , stay on the path, tell the truth and do the best you can... as the deceivers always do themselves in by Greeed and lies and deception... but some appear like they are winning as they make money get stuff and creat fear... but in my experience that never works long as all the friendships and business is built on weak foundations heack the only reason im around is because i was blessed to meet some really kind , fair people, that have helped me when I fell down...and I believe God and family are important and must haves.. when the others fall down none helps them as they dont want to be hurt or deceived and many want vengence so they sue them or make sure they dont hurt others... it can take much time and some get away with it years... butso far on ebay... itappears Justice does come eventually.. I try my best to forgive the predators and see they are the truly sick souls and just need to learn to Love we can all be redeemed I believe... its just a long process sometimes and some peopel get really sick.emotionally and mentally/ so I pray for them... but sometimes I also get angery/// its just that seldom solves anything but creates more anger.

Re: [MOPO] Ebay Buyer from hell
Got another banking scandal over here now. The bankers we bailed out and who refuse to meet government imposed targets to loan to small businesses. The latest scandal after politicians cheating expenses and the phone hacking scandal. Worst of which was not the unsurprising behaviour of journalists but that police and politicians were complicit with the media. Latest banking scandal will be subject to a parliamentary enquiry. The politicians investigating themselves and the bankers who fund their parties. Police predict more rioting this year, and though it's not good weather for it now, it'll perhaps be less inclement when the corporate Olympics gig has started and eyes of the world are on London. And while you wouldn't condone it, fair play to rioters, they at least are punished for their thieving. As it all gets ratcheted up further, the politicians continue to underestimate the public mood, which keeps getting uglier and uglier. We'll see where it all goes.

Re: [MOPO] Ebay Buyer from hell
Kids! I don’t know what’s wrong with these kids today! Kids! Who can understand anything they say? Kids! They are disobedient, disrespectful oafs! Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers! And while we’re on the subject: Kids! You can talk and talk till your face is blue! Kids! But they still just do what they want to do! Why can’t they be like we were, Perfect in every way? What’s the matter with kids today?
