Re: [MOPO] MOPO- still alivein Toledo

Re: [MOPO] MOPO- still alivein Toledo
Tom, First; I must confess that I do not believe in God in the biblical sense of an all-knowing sentient being...BUT I would fight to the death for your right to believe in whatever gives you comfort. Mr. Martin, I am one of the few people on this list who has had the great pleasure of meeting you and I'm a pretty good judge of people. You exude an innate goodness and gentleness that struck me as remarkable immediately. You are quick to smile and I felt like I had known you for a long time(which I kind of have from reading your wonderful posts on MOPO.) For two people with whom you have been so generous to betray you in order to rob you of property that is the result of decades of hard work is beyond me. It breaks my heart to read about the physical challenges that you have had to overcome. You're right; all good people want love and peace in the world, regardless of their belief system. I think Jesus was a great man and I try to follow his teachings. Likewise Buddha, Mohammed, Brahma, etc. Sadly, their beliefs in love and spitiual balance in the world are often hijacked by people who use those beautiful connections to something bigger than ourselves to control and hurt others. I have read enough of the bible to liken your situation to Job. Be patient and hang in, my friend, but if you can find someone to plead your cause...perhaps a lawyer who would take your case pro bono...I urge you to go for it. What's being done to you is horrific. A lot of people on this group love you, Tom. Remember that. I don't know if that gives you any solace but it's true.

Re: [MOPO] MOPO- still alivein Toledo May the 4th be with YOU all
Irony I filed the police report on April 1 April fools day I could perhaps be the worlds greatest fool I have blundered everything possible to blonder in life marriage relationships business steals your name What a funny thing this last few years I watched it's a wonderful life again you see your Seagal I sent Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart a movie real Clock that I manufactured from Hollywood dream factory as a Christmas gift Frank Capra secretary called me and said he wanted to send me some 8 x 10 stills from the film I was pleasantly surprised and wonders why by movie reel clock touched his heart I never heard from Jimmy Stewart.. While watching the movie I had an epiphany at the beginning of the film the angels are talking amongst themselves about Clarence who is trying to get his wings it turns out Clarence was the clockmaker and bingo I realized I was a clockmaker and his son Frank one of my clocks I received a new design patent on the clock I'min the 80s I believe around 1988 in the US and in Canada I made the clock for paramount pictures Walt Disney, Warner brothers, Ghostbusters part two, for Columbia pictures and it was used for many movies as a promotional item for Addams family, and Bronx tale with Robert De Niro It's a wonderful life is my favorite film of all time in the movie also George Bailey and Mary give the last $2000 they planned to take a honeymoon to Bermuda The book Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is prominently featured at the end of the movie and Clarence writes a note to George Bailey saying no man is a failure who has friends My mom was from Bermuda and my great grandmother used to have tea with Mark Twain are When they filmed Jimmy Stewart praying in the movie he was not faking it or acting he was genuinely crying and praying Zuzu the little girl that says every time a bell Rings a angel gets his wings God act s inn mysterio My recent experiences have been like going to another planet like Dagobah in star wars.. Coincidence The Library of Congress offers free books for the blind in one book I recently listened to this by Ryan Holiday ...called tyhe ego is the enemy and others he is Ny times bestseller also the daily stoic..and heavy on Philosophy and history from all times Plato Socrates all the philosophers came to the same conclusion that we all really know nothing in the final analysis I have ignorance down to a science Yet I believe I can do all things by Christ who strengthens me and I can imagine the glory and wisdom of God and all the Wise people of all history I learned that the Muslims Jews and Christians all consider Abraham the founding father of all religions and even the Buddhist and the Hindus and others agree on the same principles of peace and love kindness and forgiveness which is what Jesus Christ taught a song what is important in the big picture my mom studied eastern philosophy and yeah he came in devoted Christian so did Saint Paul and many who were atheist and did not believe my longtime friend believes in UFOs and aliens and he thinks that they are coming and that they could be Jesus and the angels it would not surprise me at all I think everything with positive sincere mindset souls and hearts this way mankind will be redeemed before we destroy each other Ryan also wrote a book about silence is the key and has a great story behind the Cuban missile crisis with John F. Kennedy and home cool minds prevailed over anger and craziness between Russia and the US at that time I hope we can all find peace and love as I am not enjoying seeing the current worlds actions I apologize if I in anyway help promote violence to children by selling motion picture memorabilia I think everything can be good good and everything can be used for bad and negative the key is to inspire children to get along and love each other and help each other so that when they become adults they will also do the same I believe we can trace how the mind is developed in society to pop culture memorabilia and media that we're exposed to his children I've based my thoughts 46 years experience sign motion picture memorabilia A t the same time the negative teaches us to be able to discern the difference between kindness empathy and the opposite So we need the experience in order to know the difference of positive and negative the beauty of God's plan is we learned this by life experience That's why almost all religions believe that we moved to a next level after this life which sounds like a good plan especially if we can work out the details and learn from our mistakes and seek all the good things that we have made mistakes on in this life Son believe it's all random and we have no control over anything I hope they are wrong and that everything matters for a grand purpose divine Whatever you believe I hope you have a good life of peace and love whoever you are and your families also TOM HOLLYWOOD DREAM FACTORY® SINCE 1977 TOM We
Re: [MOPO] Goodfellas daybill insert frame "hack."
A week late getting back to this for a follow-up but in the images below, you can see what happens when a collector ages and sells off his posters - but can't quite reclaim the walls, recycling old frames instead of buying new ones - which once contained expensive vintage beauties - but which now house cheaper / newer posters, trying to fool lay people that all sizes are uniform. Yeah it looks tacky and the newer pics are a little out of focus, but you get the idea. (There are even a couple of repros I partially cropped out that are in larger size WC frames.) - d.

Australian daybills are among my favs - esp. titles for which no USA inserts were made, usually post-1983. I've recycled a number of insert frames made by Sue Heim - and depending upon the background, I'll use black or different color paper to "cover" the white backer board underneath and let the poster float inside. (Personal preference - I've never used a matte to "frame" posters a second time inside the frame - because paper expands/contracts.) For "Goodfellas" - I like the daybill format more than the DS one-sheet I used to own, e.g., its composition, slightly deeper colors plus it's more affordable - although the last one sold by Bruce fetched about $200.
