I had original “Gone With The Windnd†movie stills, my grandmothers’ Motion Picture Employee identintification card, and many original photographs of movie stars from the 1930â€ââ„¢s and 1940’s.

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.

Re: [MOPO] Autographs on Movie Posters
I actually have quite a lot of signed posters, and I love them, but I think the original question was about as investment or at least adding or detracting value. Most of the signed posters I have are signed to me personally, (with my name) so I have no desire ever to try and sell them. And I do love them more than their unsigned counterparts. The memory of meeting the person, or how the autograph came about, and even as the fan boy in me thinks, that for a few seconds that person just thought of ME! Funny thing, is when I was in Las Vegas I asked Ted Mikels to sign some one sheets for me, and he gave me a box, some just signed, some signed to me, but somehow I have 3 or 4 Worm Eaters one sheets signed in various ways to Ari, kinda cute.

I was at the only screening of the film, stayed at the film makers house, and took home the (only) poster off the cinema wall afterwards, asked him and he said it was the only one he bothered to print. He and another of the film makers signed it and I gave it to a good friend who collects posters for aussie films.

I wonder how much the negative buzz that preceded the film - turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy for some. It seems the industry loves a loser as much as it loves a winner. But there's no doubt that the women I know - had near zero interest to see this picture. In the industry trades, I kept reading about how the film ended up skewing toward older men, as in WAY older men, not just simply the over 25s. -d. TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2011 Disney's $200 Million Charge 'John Carter' Proves a Huge Loss for Disney, Spurs New Focus on Cutting Costs By ERICA ORDEN FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Walt Disney Co. expects to lose $200 million on its science-fiction epic John Carter, the company said on Monday, citing the costly movie's weak box-office performance. As a result, Disney added, its movie studio is expected to report an operating loss of between $80 million and $120 million for its fiscal second quarter, ending March 31. Disney won't report its earnings for the quarter until May, and rarely offers such advance financial guidance. The studio recorded an operating profit of $77 million during the same quarter last year—even though that period included another big-budget flop, Mars Needs Moms. John Carter, which cost more than $250 million to make and an additional $100 million to market, has been a box-office bomb, particularly in the U.S., where its cumulative domestic earnings total $53.2 million during its first 10 days in theaters. The movie has fared somewhat better abroad, grossing $130.8 million outside the U.S. and Canada since its March 9 opening. But those results are disappointing for a film that was one of the studio's most expensive in years. It certainly didn't meet the expectations of what I wanted or what I needed, Disney Studios Chairman Rich Ross said in an interview last week. The film, about a Civil War veteran transported to a planet populated by alien creatures called Tharks, came in third in the weekend's box-office ticket sales results, behind rivals 21 Jump Street and Dr. Seuss' The Lorax. In addition to its significant expense, John Carter suffered from an array of handicaps, including a lack of recognizable stars—the film featured actors Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins, neither of whom are household names—and a marketing campaign that was widely considered indecipherable and visually unappealing. During Disney's recent shareholders meeting, Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo brushed aside an inquiry about the movie's results, saying that it's very early to talk about the financial impact of that film. Partly in response to costly projects such as John Carter, Disney executives say they have taken a tougher look at production budgets for its films, most notably for upcoming release The Lone Ranger, on which the studio halted production when its projected costs had surpassed $260 million. In a statement on Monday, the company emphasized the prospects of its upcoming films. As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are excited about the upcoming releases of 'The Avengers' and 'Brave,' which we believe have tremendous potential to drive value for the Studio and the rest of the company.

Re: [MOPO] paying for autographs
All my autographs I have got free, EXCEPT when I met artist Dave Gibbons at a convention, buy a copy of Watchmen (was $20 from memory) and he signed it for you. That was good for me, as I hadn't (and still haven't) read Watchmen, but everyone keeps telling me I should. So now when I finally read it, if I love it, GREAT! $20 well spent, if I hate it, its a reminder to buy what you love. Once I sent a package with dozens of photos, lobby cards and posters to Director Enzo Castellari, after being in contact via email for a long time, and becoming friends. A lot of the items were for Keoma, which starred Franco Nero, anyways Enzo was nice enough to drive up to Franco Neros house and got him to sign them for me also. I asked a favour, can he sign a certain one to ME personally, another was to be signed to a good friend and fellow Keoma fan To Paul. The rest just sign with no name, and I stated that I probably would sell them later. He was fine. I also said if he wanted to keep any of the items for himself, thats fine. Anyways a few weeks later I got the items back, signed as discussed, with extra items, postcards, hand written letter, a short film his son had made, all sorts of treasures for a fan like me. He kept nothing and refused payment of any kind (akthough I did send a gift), but Franco Nero kept all the Lobby cards that were nice shots of his face! Anyways, heres the Keoma poster I liked best and had signed to me: http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff401/aririchards/Personal/AAA/IMGP0929.jpg I love it, and to ME its far more valuable now that it was unsigned (given that unless you happened to be named Ari and also a Keoma fan its probably toilet paper) Ari PS wait until you hear my Eric Clapton story ;) From: Zeev Drach lobb...@rogers.com To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Tuesday, 21 February 2012 10:16 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] paying for autographs Message Let me explain.

They may in fact have the same tastes as I do, and have a good understanding why I'm looking for a specific poster and why I like it.

Certainly the kind of seller one sees on ebay, a guy with a day job who likes posters and sells to support is habit, is a collector. You may say that I am collecting inventory, but this is a semantic nuance. I am not personally a collector. I have never said to a client, for example, that's in my personal collection. It's not for sale. On occasions, over the years, I have entertained starting a collection. At one time I wanted to start a collection of film posters for films which had as their title the name of a place. Like CHINATOWN or KENTUCKY or FORT WORTH.

Any professional dealer (that I have encountered) has hundreds (or thousands) of wares. If sales/net profits justify a continuing enterprise ... customers become clients and the dealer then adjusts inventory to match client needs. Inventory (the dealer's collection) must be replenished; the dealer tailors his future purchases to match changing/future buyer's tastes. If the prospective dealer has a poor business model/retires/divorces/dies/loses interest, that is why the auction business exists/thrives.

Re: [MOPO] OT is eBay worth getting involved with
Hi Ben, I've looked at your site many times, and was thinking about emailing you about a few things (I will soon), meanwhile... re EBAY, I recently rejoined after a few years not even buying off there, and with the thought of selling again via ebay. But after looking through for a few weeks and seeing the state of sales, the amount of bids, and the amount that pass without bids, added to that the fees, and decided not to bother. As for selling DVDs on ebay, unless you can compete with the US prices, which is doubtful (after the buyer figures in postage from Australia to USA - USA being the main slice of the ebay market) I think you would mainly get Aussie buyers (which isn't many, plus its so cheap now for us to import from USA with our strong dollar down under. I know many DVD collectors and most started saying they will only support region 4 releases, but now they can't justify paying twice (or more) as much for a local release over an import (even after figuring in international postage). It might be a way to generate new customers for you, so if you think of it as advertising, rather than making sales. I'd be more inclined to set up a store at movieposterbid.com at least you wont pay unless you sell something. And talk posters and films on the various forums around and get to know collectors. I don't have a website, don't sell at ebay, but manage to make sales with customers old and new, just by floating around and being involved (and interested).

I have have sold a few posters over the past years but not alot due to the time taken to have mass volumes up for sale. I also run a DVD business (since 1995) via my own website (Australia's largest database of every movie or documentary ever released in Australia onto video or DVD). Sort of like an IMDB of video and DVD pertaining to Australia.Hence why you can see eBay comes second. From what I read it would seem most dealers put up with eBay (fleabay) because unless you have a huge amount of money to invest in your own website such as Bruce or Grey then it is either eBay or your own site. If you look around the DVD industry which is highly competitive, alot of big players have eBay as well as there own websites which would suggest even in a very very competitive industry such as DVD, there is life in eBay. However with the recent shipping final fee controversy, is this the final nail in the coffin (fee wise) for some and thus poster sellers are leaving or is there still life in eBay yet for someone considering to re-enter itwith posters?

NB the seller had been offering 20% off of all his fixed-price items throughout january and february. the seller point-blank refused to entertain this and said he would give me a 10% off future orders, which i think is laughable. the tone of his emails i found very condescending and rude and i have told him i will keep the poster but that he has lost my custom. i bought a quite expensive poster from this guy in september and two more since, but clearly he's thriving in this recession and can afford to lose customers. so beware of buying from groucho y yo / fantomas 38000 on the basis of their wildly inaccurate condition ratings and the fact that the photos of items that you bid on may not be the item you receive. cheers neil 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] ONE AND A HALF MEN
I had never watched it, but after reading what some had said, it sounded like it was somehow different, it was on TV last night, so I tuned in. Tuned out about half way through. Same old crap. Sure it is fine. But what I saw was nothing new or different. A joke about a kid masturbating was about as radical as it got. Agreed with some below. For me Fawlty Towers is the PERFECT TV Comedy. a handful of episodes and NEVER fails to make me ache with laughter, even though I could recite each word spoken. After that I would say Seinfeld, took me years to watch it, I assumed it was something like friends or the rest. It wasn't. Great show. 2.5 men, well, no thanks. Must say I have nothing against Sheen, not a fan or a hater. He does what he does and it bothers me nought. I have met and known many an addict of many a drug, and I have met and known many a person with mental problems of all sorts. Some I have loved, some I have hated. But I knew them or know them. Him I don't. And regardless, if he is an addict and/or if he has mental problems, aren't both considered illness'? He releases these things, I am sure he will end up making even more $ out of it at the end of the day. We are talking about him, he is on the news every day.

Boston Legal (one of the best US Comedy Drama's ever) Scrubs Friends Frasier Cheers All in the Family Roseanne had some very good high peaks. The Office And of course MASH There are many more that I cannot think of just yet but there is an awful lot of dross which doesn't deserve to be high rating winners. There was one series about 15 years ago made by HBO that was a little near the knuckle and it involved carnal activities of a young bachelor it had only one series but it was funny. I also think Cougar Town has potential. I will say that I think when the US writers come up with something and it's good - it is really good. But things like Will and Grace, Two and Half Men, Dharma and Greg and this new one Hot in Cleveland are truly poor examples of American Comedy. I do feel that sitcoms at their best nothing comes close to Fawlty Towers, probably The Office (UK version), and there are several that I will not name as they really are purely British that do not export well but truly are so funny that your ribs ache.

Re: [MOPO] OT, sort of.... Museums, Institutions and Bizarre logic .....
A very good friend of mine was instrumental in bringing the Lieberwitz collection to Perth, he was the Art Curator for the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Sadly he died not (too) long ago.

One of the finest collections I have ever seen was donated to a museum and I use the word loosely. It has never been seen again. And then there is the story of another museum who received so many donations of film memorabilia from all over Australia following a TV documentary, they couldn't keep track of it all and firstly got to a stage where they couldn't keep up with the incoming inventory, then couldn't keep up with unpacking the parcels, then couldn't keep up with logging who had sent the items (not everyone puts a return address on a parcel) then decided they only wanted to keep material related to Australian films, then decided they need to thin out the space and returned packages to the wrong people (I know someone who got three crates of stuff that they had no idea whose it was, all they knew is that it wasn't what they donated) then decided they wanted to hire someone to sort the stuff out because no one at the museum actually knew how to identify a daybill from an insert or a window card from a lobby card, or an original from a re-release. They figured such an expert would be able to do these approximately 200,000 items in 24 hours, maybe 48 at a stretch. When the expert explained that physically, timewise that would be pretty close to impossible and what they needed to do was what many major such institutions do and actually work at it as a proper project which would allow them to trade not-related material with other institutions, sell off excess to acquire more desirable/collection appropriate pieces and collections (you know, they way real national galleries do) they thought this was worth talking about and booked the expert on the plane the next day. A 2 hour flight. They even booked the expert into a motel for the night. Two hours later, they called the expert and said they had decided to re-think the whole thing. Last I heard the same chaos was ongoing. And the reason to can the trip? Cost... Yep, all $300 (motel included) couldn't be justified within the budget. Museums are great places to go visit on rainy afternoons, and when they are professionally run museums like the VA and the Science Museum in London (who were two of my major clients for some years back then) they can be a delight to deal with from a professional standpoint, where in those instances the curators of the relevant departments really knew their stuff and really loved it. The Art Gallery of NSW is similarly one of the finest institutions of its type. A few years ago they had a great exhibition of Lawrence Bassoff's film noir posters to tie in with his book, CRIME SCENES. More locally, Newcastle Art Gallery has done some great shows, too. The fact they beat out both the National Gallery in Canberra and the Art Gallery of NSW a few years back to the major Annie Lieberwitz exhibition was something of a coup. However when the Lieberwitz exhibition went to Perth, there were letters to the newspapers and editorials that the famous shot of John and Yoko should be removed, not because of the nudity or it being pornographic, but because it was offensive because it showed a white man in a submissive pose to an Asian woman.

These 2 “hippies” came to his previous studio, and wanted to rent a camera, he gave them a price, they were happy and paid, as they were leaving, he asked “Whats the film called?”, the reply was “EASYRIDER. I love the story more because while making Mark of the Astro Zombies he called me “flex” as in Arriflex, anyways funny how these crazed out hippies made a name for themselves while the guy who had more experience and hired them the camera still struggles.

I'd say that the odds of 2 packages getting lost to overseas buyers from a seller who shipped what I believe has to have been considerably fewer packages than myself is incredibly long. If the accused Al shipped 800 packages overseas as I have, the math would look something like 800/1 x 799/1 or approximately 639,000 to 1.

Re: [MOPO] My expirence with Rich tonight
I think, after all these years of accusations, some maybe real, others not, of Shill bidding (by the way I do know of a mopo member who certainly PROTECTED his items in the past – dint think he does anymore) We become paranoid, I no nothing about this case, but would like to think we can get proof before accusing, or at least a history of coincidences. My favourite sale, was a 20,000 leagues under the sea daybill (reissue), my favourite, because it was one of my first sales, but also and mainly because the buyer became a friend. BUT he emailed me on the 1st day of auction, and said I have bid on your auction, $US1,000 max bid, so Im sure I will win, but I am going on holidays for a few weeks, hold onto it, when I win don’t worry Ill pay. Well he did, $30 or something. Knowing what he told me I could have put a fake bid in at $999 and laughed all the way to the bank. Was he stupid telling? Yes, was he lucky I didn’t screw him, well I guess yes. I never was going to, anyways he became a good friend (email and telephone), I lost touch, which is sad, but he is blind (Imagine a poster collector who is blind? But he at this time did have one eye), and I suspect maybe dead. Anyways, back to Shill bidding, we all know the history and names involved, accused, caught out, etc. End of the day, while I hate it (and wait till you bid on live auctions), I can’t see it will ever be resolved, bid what you want to pay. You lose? Ahh well, not the end of the world.

There are lots of new bidders every week on my site and guess what.. they all start out with zero feedback, just like you did way back when. Moreover, if there was going to be shill bidding, I think the Let it Be poster at $86 would have been a much better candidate for shill bidding why does the guy sit there bidding up the minimum increment for 45 minutes? who knows. But it wasn't me and it wasn't my secertary and it wasn't anyone else that I'm aware of.

Re: [MOPO] superman action comics #1 sells for one million dollars
A true story, which kinda relates. A guy in New South Wales (where I live) bought a property in the country, for a couple of thousand dollars, it was unfarmable, nothing special, he then sold it to himself in a company name for double, then again to another person, and back again, etc doubling the $ each time, (it was always him in reality), eventually he put it on the market, showing how amazing the track history of this properties worth was, and sold it to a REAL buyer for millions. The buyer was stuck with a block of dirt and grass, worth a couple of hundred thousand dollars. The crook, was eventually charged and went to Jail. (I know the story as he was a client of ours and we found out later). Prices can certainly be manipulated, and it only takes one fool to fall for it.

Just like stock market and real estate bubbles, million dollar collectibles are best explained by the greater fool theory. From Wikipedia: The greater fool theory (sometimes the bigger fool theory, also called survivor investing) is the belief held by one who makes a questionable investment, with the assumption that they will be able to sell it later to a bigger fool; in other words, buying something not because you believe that it is worth the price, but rather because you believe that you will be able to sell it to someone else for an even better price.[1] It is similar in concept to the Keynesian beauty contest principle of stock investing. Some consider it a valid method of making money in the stock market, particularly momentum investors; however, fundamental investors believe that market participants eventually realize that the price level is too outrageous (too high or too low) and the speculative bubble pops. The greater fool theory relies on market optimism and market momentum concerning a particular stock, an industry, or the market as a whole. The opposite of the greater fool theory is value investing, or contrarian investing, which tries to discount, or even actively go against, the prevailing market psychology. Value investors such as Warren Buffett believe that it is corporate profits which are the normal returns from stock investments and any higher return is possible only due to the bigger fool theory. So as long as there is an even GREATER fool to pay this guy TWO million dollars a few years from now, then he made a smart investment.

The best part of this was that back then, we only used fair, good, very good, fine, near mint and mint, and I think most of the above examples were around very good! There is a great trick to slabbing, which is grade inflation. You buy up items that were graded 20 years ago, and then you can break them open and re-grade them at least a couple of grading points higher (especially when you own a piece of the grading company), and who's to know? Like Rich says, the whole grading business is a really slimy one. It is not the grading per se that ruins the collecting hobby (in stamps, coins, and cards, you can still see the entire item) but rather the sludge from the bottom of the Black Lagoon that swarms all over the hobby once grading becomes the standard. With any luck I won't be selling posters by the time slabbing takes over, and if I have passed on, I will surely be turning over in my grave.

Tom, I am sorry for all the inconvenience and that you have provided a replacement megaphone free of charge. Ross, I am disappointed with the Australia Post delivery system - obviously the delivery person could not read the address clearly labelled on the packaged. As a consequence, I have had to spend a considerable amount in extra postage for the delivery of the same item again as we considered it lost in the mail system. It has also cost Tom money as he kindly offered to send a replacement item. The item was required by a specific time and we could not wait the for the outcome of a lengthy inquiry.

No. In fact, I should think it would be obvious that people like Todd or Sean or Bruce and others are in fact the recognized experts who would be the ones making the verifications. Who said anything about ignorant self-styled experts being employed? What good would that do?

Re: [MOPO] Poster Villains
I sell coins, bullion and banknotes for a living, and the company I work for has been around 46 years, people often ask for a COA or some written proof that what they are buying is real. I reply, sure I can type you something, but its not the item, you could put that COA with an apple, the proof is the item. So if you want it? sure, when your ready to sell again (most of these people are into it for investing and come back) - dont bother to bring the COA, we have the knowledge to know what you have.

Such a verification would actually *enhance* the value of the auction, so how would the auction houses and dealers (or the consigners) lose with such a policy? And I'm sure it would make the auction house's insurance companies feel better. It would also give confidence to the buyers/bidders and they might be willing to pay more. Going with strictly the warranty, it becomes the responsibility of the buyer to determine if he has been sold a fake or not. That's not right. Maybe he does get someone to verify, or maybe he mistakenly takes the auction house/dealer on their reputation and doesn't bother. Or maybe the buyer doesn't find out about the fake until after the warranty has expired. That's exactly the opposite of the way things should work. Keep the warranties, sure, but on very pricey items be able to auction/offer a MUMMY's HAND half-sheet with a description that says This poster has been examined by recognized poster expert __ who has determined to the best of his ability that it is a genuine original movie poster containing ___% original paper.

The knee-jerk reaction to this question is obviously Metropolis or Frankenstein---something from the top of the list of posters that realized the highest price in auction.

Hey, I don't even know if one exists (I've actually heard a rumor over the years about a certain long time collector who has one in his collection...but that's just a rumor).

The show was protesting the very generation that we had become. We the audience were lovin' it as a nostalgia piece, not as protest theater.

I wish I could see all of them one more time (if they are still alive). There were just a couple of really whiny young teen guys like Paul Leavitt and Rich Halegua. And there were no females of ANY age whatsoever! When Phil Seuling and Russ Cochran quit their day jobs (as high school teacher and college physics professor) to sell comic books full time, that was BIG news! Those were the days, my friends.

I certainly realize that eBay and the internet in general have had a chilling effect on conventions/shows overall, but I was still surprised by what I perceived to be a lack of a younger audience interested in movie paper. When doing comic shows, there would always be the “original dealers” who have been selling since the 60s/70s and are still hauling around merchandise in the same boxes they used in 1967, then there would be the guys who started in the 80s/90s who now have a more advanced/mature inventory and offerings, and then the “young guns” who had recently gotten started and had vast inventories of new “hot” comics. The trend would always be that as time goes on, attrition takes a few out of each level, while some step up to the next and more “young guns” enter and start the cycle over. I really don’t see this happening (at shows) with movie paper. There wasn’t a single dealer at the show set up selling rolls of new Dark Knight or Star Trek posters or whatever the flavor of the month is. I know that some are out there – I see them on eBay and on the boards. Do you guys go to shows at all? Or is it that you find Cinevent full of “older” collectors who don’t’ want posters from any movie made in color? Or is it that it is just so much easier to send an email out to your customer list and let them know you have the new Transformers2 poster that you don’t need to spend the extra money to go to a show and try to add to your clientele? Just curious about all this, as I think it would be great if there was a huge poster show where dealers of all eras were set up and there were enough collectors there to make it worthwhile.

pretty amazing even if one prefers our memories to remain in unsullied

Like most of you, I prefer MoPo posts to be about movies or movie posters, but why is it such a big deal when an occasional post (or thread) strays completely off-topic? I of course don't want non-poster collectors to come here and start discussions of other subjects, but I really don't mind at all when regular posters make some non-movie poster related comments, and I actually have learned quite a bit from such discussions. Is there anyone here who prefers the endless stream of 5 hours left on my auctions... Now there's only 4 hours left... type of e-mails to off-topic ones? What is the big deal anyway? And why can't we all just get along? In any event, if God didn't want off-topic e-mails, then why did he/she make a delete key on every computer?

Re: [MOPO] Speaking of Kubrick

I forgot that Eyes Wide Shut was automatically assumed to be Kubrick's worst film. So, Barry Lyndon was NOT voted Kubrick's worst film. I feel better now. I personally think that Full Metal Jacket was his worst clunker. -rk On Mar 15, 2009, at 8:33 PM, Bruce Hershenson wrote: First off, for those of you not in my club, the question was what film directed by Stanley Kubrick (other than Eyes Wide Shut!) do you feel is the WORST he ever made. I eliminated EWS because I assumed it would win in a landslide! I also eliminated the pre-Killer's Kiss movies because nobody (except Kirby and Phil, maybe) has ever seen them. So that only left the following (I have put the number of votes each received): Barry Lyndon (1975) 43 A Clockwork Orange (1971) 25 Full Metal Jacket (1987) 20 The Shining (1980) 16 Killer's Kiss (1955) 13 Spartacus (1960) 12 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 9 Lolita (1962) 6 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) 4 Paths of Glory (1957) 3 The Killing 0 Now I personally didn't agree with Barry Lyndon winning but what SHOULD have won instead? Here were my comments: I was personally not surprised that Barry Lyndon won this poll, even though I personally thought it was quite an interesting movie. It clearly is NOT for many people, and the pacing of the movie alternates between on the slow side and glacial! But I was able to put that aside and get into the sheer visual beauty of the cinematography, although I must admit I have not seen it since it first came out, and don't really have a strong desire to see it again. I also was not surprised by the large number of votes placed for A Clockwork Orange, given the repellant nature of the entire movie, and the ultra-disturbing rape scene (and of course the repellant subject matter of Lolita likely gave that otherwise fine movie the votes it received). I thought that The Shining was very disappointing (I had read the book first and liked it) and I liked the first half of Eyes Wide Shut, but did not care for the rest. I had similar feelings about 2001, although I liked a greater percentage of it. And of course, Spartacus was an epic, and kind of bloated, but I am surprised it received 12 votes. I really don't see how people voted for Dr. Strangelove or Paths of Glory. To me, both are masterpieces! I was glad that no one voted for The Killing. That is really a wonderful movie (I can't say it is better than The Asphalt Jungle, but it is its equal) and if you like film noir, or suspenseful perfect crime movies, and you somehow haven't seen either or both of these, do yourself a big favor and add them to your must-see list! Of course I realize that many of you would have avoided those movies of Kubrick's which you heard are not very good, so therefore you were voting for the worst of the ones you HAVE seen, which may be entirely different from his actual worst movies (and may account for some fine movies getting some votes)! I found it very interesting to read the comments left this week, and I want everyone to go now to http://www.emovieposter.com/club/club_comments.php to see what everyone had to say on this subject (there were 78 comments left, and I urge you all to read them). Remember that the goal in these polls is to stimulate conversation and to help expose club members to great movies they have not seen before (or in the case of this poll, to help them avoid ones they probably don't want to see!), and I feel this week's poll certainly achieved both those goals!

The PA also told me that he insisted on packing all his own parcels, including mine because he didn't trust anyone else to do it. An impeccable job, too which I have since slavishly followed. So when people ask me who taught me to pack, I can say well, it was Stanely Kubrick, actually. Much misunderstood as a person and film maker, he left a relatively small body of work, but everyone a meticulously crafted and multi-faceted gem.

Hey Mopo:
Last year, you might remember that I recommended a little Aussie show called
the Hollowmen (I sent the recommendation after only 3 episodes had aired -
that's how good it was). Well, they've finished the first two series now - and
they're available on DVD (region 4 only - and they're already out of print)!
This may be your only chance to see this brilliant show, if you live anywhere
up-over...
If I had to pick the 5 greatest comedy shows of all time, The Hollowmen would
be in there with Fawlty Towers, The Office, Absolutely Fabulous, and Arrested
Development. That's how good it is (it's made by the exact same people who
made the great indie films The Castle and The Dish).
Get it now before it's gone forever...
Cheers,
Bob

Brooks b...@damnthe.com Subject: [MOPO] The best television show of all time... To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Thursday, February 19, 2009, 3:26 PM Hey Mopo: Last year, you might remember that I recommended a little Aussie show called the Hollowmen (I sent the recommendation after only 3 episodes had aired - that's how good it was). Well, they've finished the first two series now - and they're available on DVD (region 4 only - and they're already out of print)! This may be your only chance to see this brilliant show, if you live anywhere up-over... If I had to pick the 5 greatest comedy shows of all time, The Hollowmen would be in there with Fawlty Towers, The Office, Absolutely Fabulous, and Arrested Development. That's how good it is (it's made by the exact same people who made the great indie films The Castle and The Dish). Get it now before it's gone forever...

Re: [MOPO] post your best stupid questions

NO DO YOU KNOW WHAT COUNTRY, WHAT DENOMINATION? NO WHATS IT MADE OUT OF? DONT KNOW BUT ITS OLD (Im thinking SO IS A ROCK, still not worth anything) The standard line we have now, as seriously wer get this daily is, I HAVE A CAR, WHATS IT WORTH? DONT KNOW THE MAKE, MODEL, YEAR OR CONDITION BUT WANT TO KNOW WHAT ITS WORTH. They usually get it after that. for posters WHEN I sold on ebay, I got the standard DOES THIS POSTER PLAY ON AMAERICAN DVDS or JUST AUSTRALIAN? stuff like that.

Re: [MOPO] those testimonials for tloceposters
I bought a blade runner insert (minty white) cos I feel like its a part of poster history. Sure its fake, I know it, I guess i have a dark sense of humour. best thing is. I got it signed by professor powers. Ari --- On Wed, 4/2/09, Robert D. Brooks b...@damnthe.com wrote: From: Robert D.

It's been years since I've held one (I don't collect inserts or lobbies), but as far as I remember: The so-called 'minty whites' are printed on what I can only describe as a very modern stock of paper (completely different from what NSS was using in the 70's). I don't know anything about the pulp paper industries, but the minty whites are on a paper that has an inherent shine or gloss to it. Something very un-natural. I would guess there's some sort of plastic or other type of artificial chemical in the slurry they make the paper out of. In the old days, they would have just used pulp, or all-natural fibres. That's why Bruce says the minty whites have glossy backs - the gloss is in the paper itself (plastic-y). It's that same kind of new stock that's only been around for maybe a decade or so. When you look closely at it in the light, there's almost a spider-webby thing going on (artificial fibres perhaps?). Looks more like a thousand miniscule layers of resin stacked on top of each other and heat-pressed together (almost as if it was sprayed into place), instead of just natural paper. Very subjective, very subtle, but if you've held dozens of real inserts or lobby cards, you'll know the difference when you see it. It just won't look right (especially for the supposed age). Close to the right weight, but definitely the wrong paper... Plus, the poorly-hung-fools that created these made innumerable mistakes (photoshop errors, little changes, etc...), so they're pretty easy to tell apart otherwise.

In fact, bruce sent out a warning to his consignors on Sunday about this subject. I was tempted to ask him to put together a small paragraph explaining this again for MOPOers. Imagine bruce writing a single paragraph? ha-ha. TODAYS TEST: SOMEONE DEFINE EXPLAIN MILKY-WHITE FAKE in 50 words or less. In any event, any dealer or ling-time collector selling fakes is a cheater. A dealer is held to a higher standard. I don NOT understand that if a DEALER - COLLECTOR sells a fake once or twice that he should be given a pass. Don't be naive. Don't buy from someone like that. Anyone could surely could dupe someone by placing a $1,500 fake title among great, original posters. Simply--scruff it up, rip it, crumple it, use black crayon, etc. and then let the person think he/she is stealing it for a mere $600. The art of selling a fake is to create an illusion. I support the popular position of the MOPOersDON'T DEAL WITH THOSE COLLECTORS OR DEALER that have been caught with their pants down...no matter how polite they are. michael ps will someone offer me something on my damn WANT LIST posted yesterday...i have been on a crazy buying frenzy in the last 2 weeks. mbb Who's never won?
