Re: [MOPO] I look inside people's living space

[Susan Heim]

I agree with you Chris.  It's kind of cool seeing these reporters that you 
watch everyday and some of their guests broadcasting from their homes.  You see 
certain books behind them or framed art or some other interesting
item.  Maybe the Cool Hand Luke poster was  a repro...and that's why it looked 
trimmed.

One of the things that I am enjoying about this whole ordeal is what you can 
see in the background as people quarantine is their living space. On the NBC 
Evening News tonight, at the very end of the broadcast, they had a segment on 
disappointed Olympic athletes making the best of the postponement of the Summer 
Olympics. Kerri Walsh Jennings, an  Olympic beach volleyball player,  clearly 
shows a framed Cool Hand Luke poster behind her in her broadcast. It looks like 
it might have been trimmed, meaning the bottom was cut off and just the upper 
image is framed but I could be wrong. One of my favorite posters and movies as 
well!

[MOPO] TCM Classic Film Festival Coming to Your Home

[Scott Burns]

On March 12, Turner Classic Movies made the decision to cancel their annual
Classic Film Festival in Los Angeles, but today made the announcement of a
"home edition" to air on TCM April 16-20th. 

For the schedule: http://filmfestival.tcm.com/special-home-edition/

By Lindsey Bahr | March 24, 2020 | 2:13 p.m. ET.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The folks at Turner Classic Movies had just decided
they'd have to cancel their annual classic film festival
  when their general manager
had an idea: What if they could do something else in recognition of the lost
weekend?

"It felt greedy to say, 'Well why don't we do this whole other thing?'" said
Pola Changnon, the network's general manager.

Charles Tabash, the head of programming, told her he'd think about it. And
less than 48 hours later, he came back with something even more ambitious:
Three and a half days of films, special guest appearances and star-studded
segments from past festivals to air in the comfort of viewers' own homes.
And with that, the TCM Classic Film Festival: Special Home Edition was born.

"I got emotional when we made the announcement to cancel. The festival means
something to us," said TCM host Ben Mankiewicz of the March 12 decision. "We
all just sensed that we had to do something."

Starting at 8 p.m. Eastern on April 16 with George Cukor's "A Star Is Born"
and going into to the wee hours of April 20 with a 3:30 a.m. airing of Blake
Edwards' "Victor/Victoria," the Special Home Edition is for the devotees who
trek out to Hollywood every year for the festival as well as those who
haven't yet gotten to sip martinis at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel before
watching a favorite film noir at the TCL Chinese Theater. And it couldn't
come sooner for these homebound times.

The home festival has something for everyone. Care to catch up with, or
re-watch a few of the most revered films of all time? They've got
"Casablanca," "Lawrence of Arabia," and "North by Northwest" all scheduled.
Or how about long form interviews with film legends from past festivals?
They have those too with Luise Rainer, Eva Marie Saint, Faye Dunaway and
Peter O'Toole, to name a few.

It represents not only the breadth of what we might have done on a festival
weekend but is also a great scrapbook of moments from the 10 years we've
done this," Changnon said.

You can also pay tribute to a recently departed legend like Max Von Sydow:
Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" airs on April 17.

Mankiewicz remembers being particularly intimidated to interview Von Sydow
at the 2013 festival.

"I was scared. Flat out scared," he said. "But he was so great. He was so
funny and charming and lovely and I'm glad that people are going to get to
have a slice of him."

They were even able to get Peter Bogdanovich out to tape a few segments.
Bogdanovich will regale viewers the night of April 18 with his tales of
Orson Welles as the co-host of a screening of Welles' second feature, "The
Magnificent Ambersons," from 1942.

"Peter talking about Orson Welles is worth the price of admission,"
Mankiewicz said.

And since they already had him in studio, they had him do one for
"Casablanca" too.

For those looking for family fare, Mankiewicz said his nearly 7-year-old
daughter loves "Singin' in the Rain," which will air at 6 p.m. on April 19.

"Musicals are a great, great opportunity to bring people together," he said.

And for couples wondering what might make a good date night film, Mankiewicz
suggests Jules Dassin's 1950 noir "Night and the City" (April 18, 11:45
p.m.) with Gene Tierney, or "Red-Headed Woman," a pre-code film starring
Jean Harlow as a woman who uses sex to advance herself that airs at 2 pm on
April 19.

Another pre-code gem is "Baby Face" with Barbara Stanwyck, playing early
April 20.

"One of her conquests is a 25-year-old John Wayne," he said.

Or if a documentary is more your speed, there's always "Grey Gardens" or
"Harold and Lillian: A Hollywood Love Story," about a storyboard artist and
one of the great movie researchers of all time, featuring interviews with
Francis Ford Coppola and Mel Brooks.

Everyone was disappointed to have to cancel the festival, but there was no
reason the show couldn't go on in a slightly different way, especially with
so much of the world at home. And the staff has been working hard to pull
together this at home festival in time for airing. Mankiewicz said he was
even up until 2:45 a.m. preparing scripts for the next day and he was
nothing but grateful for the work.

"We're not doctors, we're not nurses, we're not scientists," Mankiewicz
said. "But for many of our fans there's a comfort we provide and it's not
nothing. All we can do is take the thing that we do seriously. And I'm happy
to do something that matters to people even in some small way."

[MOPO] USPS still picking up packages

[Channing Thomson]

3/24/2020

Hi MOPO Members - The Post office is still picking up packages at your home or 
office if you do a request through their website a day in advance. You can tell 
them it is left on the porch to avoid person to person contact. They send you 
an e-mail to let you know the pickup is successfully completed. I just used 
this service today and it worked flawlessly.

I hope this information is useful and wishing everyone the best.

Thanks, Channing Thomson at CHANNINGPOSTERS on EBay and Amazon.

[MOPO] Movie Poster Framing - Mel's Posters Look great!

[Susan Heim]

Well, the most important thing in a frame is what's in the front and what's in 
back of the poster.  All of the frames you have gotten from me have been 91% UV 
filtered genuine plexiglass, not plastic sheeting that is in a lot of ready 
made frames.  So, that is what has protected your posters.  For my frames, even 
if you use the acid free museum conservation backing, it is only a $15 
difference, so most collectors with items over say $500 in value and continuing 
to appreciate in value, use the acid free backing.  I routinely take my own 
framed posters apart to test the products and compare them to color charts I 
have so that I can accurately write the articles that I write for the movie 
poster hobby and other paper collectable hobbies.  In all my years of using 
this product, I have never come across a poster that has faded and have never 
had a customer tell me their poster faded using this product, so I'm convinced 
it's a good product and it has stood the test of time...as for backing, the 
most important thing is to not use cardboard.  As a matter of fact, it isn't 
advisable to store your posters in cardboard tubes and that cardboard is  
loaded with acid..just a thought

Your posters look fabulous.

Sue
Hollywood Poster Frames





Thx, in 11 years of collecting I’ve never seen any poster degrade the tinsiest 
bit from light exposure or internal acidification.

In general most collectors ridiculously spend lotsa money and rarely frame 
anything.

So I try to promote basic affordable framing rather than worry excessively 
about extremely slow acidification or minor light damage from indirect sunlight 
shown in picture above.

over time...I'm sure you probably cleaned the plexigilass and channel of the
frame before you put it back together, but I'm sure the foamcore probably 
absorbed some of that liquid and, again, that I might suggest changing out.  
Next time you place an order, remind me and I will put a new piece of

Good info!

On a lighter note I possibly have the zaniest story involving your frames!

Two years ago my mom gave me Russian tea mix, which creates a VERY dark hot 
drink. Anyways I made a cup and carelessly roughly sat on my couch. The ENTIRE 
full large cup’s contents hurled STRAIGHT BACK SMACK INTO THE MIDDLE of one of 
your frames, which was protecting a $4K movie poster!

I naturally freaked out as the DARK BROWN liquid gushed down the frame front 
and seeped through the lower front lip. The lower portion of the WHITE poster 
quickly was saturated with liquid.

I jerked the frame off the wall but it took FIVE MINUTES to disassemble it!

The horror story ends well(ish). About 90% of the liquid drained off without 
reaching the paper inside. The remaining 10% initially left a ghastly brown 
stain covering 1/2 inch on both edges of the lower right of the 1935 paper. 
Rather miraculously the dark liquid dried and mostly left no trace, just mild 
water damage.

Stuptacular clumsiness on my part!

So, it is always my recommendation on any poster of higher value that the 
Artcare be the product that is used behind it.  Regular acid free foamcore is 
good, but it doesn't go that extra step of acid neutralization.

Two Qs for you:

1) Does acid-free backboard protect linen-backed posters?  How? Doesn’t the 
linen backing block the acidification from the backboard? Does it somehow go 
around or through the thick linen?

2) Acid paper posters acidify internally. Does pressing them up against acid 
backboards significantly speed up or worsen acidification?
