[MOPO] AA Nominations
Well, let the Hollywood self-gratification begin. La La Land (14 nominations) was enjoyable and fun, but we all know that any film that glorifies "the business" (see entries The Artist, Argo) is a rock-solid lock to be celebrated whether it was the "best" entry or not.

Like everyone, it costs the same to handle a $200 poster as it does a $20 and so rather than turn away business at the bottom end HA are are simply going to charge you for it - why shouldn't they? How many dealers sell posters for a $1, and are happy to do so? I bet there is very few, most would not even bother stocking a $1 poster let alone selling one. Try selling a poster on eBay for $1 - by the time eBay take their slice of the action, the cost of materials, your time what's left for you? For others who sell via their websites you probably already know you can set a minimum purchase value on the shopping cart - if you have set one then what's the difference between you and HA? It's expensive to sell stuff cheap.

She was such a wonderful actress and a lovely person. May she be in heavenly joy. Just wanted to share some memories, though few, about Garry Shandling. I had been assisting on a project that had several comedians interviewed for a mockumentary. Garry was kind and funny in his awkward way. His subtlety with his jokes and his physical comedy was amazing. I loved watching him work. My fondest memory was at an anniversary party where there was Scottish folk dancing. All were encouraged to take part. During the dance we had to switch partners and I ended up with Garry Shandling. We were both awkward and he played it up so much that I was laughing my ass off. Right before we had to switch partners again, he broke down laughing too. We had so much fun and I got to see a glimpse of his warmth through his shyness. He's making them laugh in heaven now.

None of us are "that old" untilwe are. I toured the UK with Sam Andrew, guitarist for Big brother & the Holding Co., in 2014. We had a great time and a wonderful personal and musical rapport. We planned a two guitar tour and were making preparations for for it when he was struck down by a heart attack in January 2015. I think that's the first time I used the phrase "He wasn't that old" (he was 72). The Reaper is like some white trash trailer park dwelling relative.

Paul Reubens initiated a new character - a naive kid who just got off the bus - who in the storyline eventually evolved into a comic. All of LA was mythic and eye-opening to this character and he had a way of making you see the fairy tale of it all through his eyes. This was the first appearance of Pee-Wee and on successive Friday nights he would appear and hone the character - change things here or there - draw in the audience more and more - Until he finally put together Pee-Wee’s Playhouse - the stage production - with other members of the Groundlings group - truly brilliant comic talents. The movies were fun, I thought - But, all I can say is that in person in those early days and through the development of Pee-Wee’s stage show - I have seen few things funnier or laughed at fewer things harder that I did that show. Rubens would come out tossing candy to everyone, dancing on his tip toes, engaging the audience. I don’t know what it was - but he definitely tapped something both mythic and absurd - a wonderful and unusual combination. Paul was always a very kind and gentle person, even quiet, and it was a shame he hit the Hollywood Babylon skids as he did. We all have our feet of clay - But in the old days - when it was fresh and never seen before - his act was nothing short of scream out loud riotous - you literally couldn’t get the air out of your lungs fast enough. Jeez, I’d love to see something that funny once again!

Nominated for a Golden Globe for his song Cat People from the movie of the same name, he can claim up to 39 acting credits. With film appearances such as 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' / Christiane F. / The Hunger / Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence / Yellowbeard / Absolute Beginners / Labyrinth / Last Temptation Of Christ / August and The Prestige to name a few, his contribution to the arts is worth remembering.

[MOPO] WTS Casablanca OS
Well, my Casablanca OS VF- also came from a Heritage auction, and is available for purchase. The Heritage description for my poster was: Casablanca (Warner Brothers, 1942). One Sheet (27" X 41"). The image on this one sheet of trench coat wearing Humphrey Bogart wielding a gun, while protecting a gorgeous Ingrid Bergman, is recognized the world over. Created by legendary poster designer Bill Gold, this classic piece features a newspaper style layout, in which multiple key scenes from the film are highlighted. For many, this would be considered the crown jewel of one sheets, as it comes from what is thought to be the closest to perfection a film has come. Serious collectors will not want to miss out on the chance to add this fantastic item to their collection. Prior to restoration, the poster had pinholes in the corners, a small tear in the left border, minor paper loss in the folds, a bend in the top left corner, and additional folding along the center horizontal fold. Fine/Very Fine on Linen. I am accepting offers BELOW the already bargain price of $77,675 that last Saturday's Heritage poster achieved.

Hip hip! Wim MoPo List User Op 24 feb 2015, om 20:09 heeft Scott Burns het volgende geschreven: Well we made it to 20 after all! Today marks MoPo's 20th Anniversary. For the last couple of years, our anniversary has been preceded by a discussion about how little we actually discuss posters on this forum. This year it was John Reid's February 12th post, How MoPo has Changed, pointing out the lack of discussion or comment on movie posters. In 2014, in time for our 19thbirthday, Helmut posted an analysis of MoPo posts (84% were either auction or for sale posts) and former member Bruce H. mentioned how 2 other poster forums are pretty dead. I find it just an interesting coincidence that this seems to happen just about every February 24th! But no matter.MoPo is still chugging along. We've survived longer than I ever dreamed (much longer than the majority of Hollywood marriages). On February 24, 1995 the first official MoPo post was distributed via American University's listserv. There were 11 members at the start, and as is my annual custom, I recognize these MoPo pioneers: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (we lost Cindy in 2008, but her husband Jay is still a member), Jeff Static (AOL'er Static555), Adam Ehrlich and myself. In addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still members. Last year I wondered whether MoPo would make it to 20, or if it even should. Well, here we are and I guess we'll soldier on.at least until American University decides to shut down their listserv! I do hate to see longtime members leave, (Poster seller Bruce Hershenson and the prolific Tom Martin are 2 examples of people who exited this past year), but that's the way of Internet forums.

Greg, as you are a guitarist and you also mention the amazing music in Forbidden Planet, I thought I would write a bit about the score for the film that is not well known. In 1956, MGM, which was the Production Company behind Forbidden Planet, had a full-time and tenured Symphony Orchestra on staff at the studio. During this time all of the other major Hollywood studios also had their own unique full-time staff orchestras per agreements with the Musicians Union ( American Federation of Musicians). MGM also had its own group of famous composers and arrangers on staff from the 30's through the 60s. Before David Rose became famous as the composer for Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and songs like Holiday for Strings and The Stripper, he was doing arrangements and rehearsal piano work at MGM. In fact, it was during this time at MGM that the considerably older David Rose became involved with the teenage Judy Garland. Though still married he gave Judy Garland an engagement ring on her 18th birthday, which was kept under wraps at the time by MGM. Later, after his own divorce from Martha Raye became final, David Rose then became Judy Garland's first husband. Anyway, after various composers were considered and approached about doing the score for Forbidden Planet, eventually the assignment fell to David Rose. David Rose and the MGM Orchestra recorded music for Forbidden Planet, but almost all of it is now lost. Dore Schary who was head of MGM, didn't particularly like Rose's melodic approach and threw the score out. It is not clear if Dore Schary had ever expressed to David Rose his desire to have an avant-garde type of score for the film. Anyway, Dore Schary had secretly engaged the husband and wife team of Louis and Bebe Barron who were involved in early experiments with electronic music to do some demos of electronic music for the film. They worked on it for many months. The Barron's used early synth-type gear of their own design, ring modulators, reverb and tape delay effects to create the unique sonic landscape that we hearin Forbidden Planet. When Schary decided to use the Barron's work in Forbidden Planet instead of the score from David Rose and the MGM Orchestra, the Musicians Union objected because they felt it wasn't 'real music'. Their real concerns were also about future employment for the MGM Orchestra as well. The MGM Symphony would eventually be dissolved about 12 years later. The Barron's work was the very first electronic sound design style score and even they weren't sure what to call it. Nonetheless, the original screen credit was supposed to read: Electronic Music by Louis and Bebe Barron The Musicians Union was furious and they absolutely did not want the credit to have music in it. They had an ongoing Collective Bargaining Agreement with MGM that gave them standing on the issue. Legal on both sides worked out a settlement and the Barron's final credit on the film was as Composer(s): Electronic Tonalities. While that may not seem like a big change, it was. Absence of the word music meant that this revolutionary score for this big budget and now iconic Sci-Fi film couldn't even be nominated for an Academy Award for music, let alone win. Contrast that with the synth/sound design score of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for The Social Network, which in my opinion is far from revolutionary or even great in context for the needs of the film. That score was both nominated and won the Academy Award for music a couple of years back. In the case of Forbidden Planet, it isn't about the Robber Barons, but rather the BARRONS was robbed!

About 25 years ago, my wife and I were traveling blue highways from west coast to the east coast for 6 weeks with about 15K in posters in the old SUV - We stopped at every junk shop we saw and traded posters for toys, just before toys took off. (I figured if movie posters were art - then toys were sculpture - and I couldn't get enough.) Had never met Morrie but called him and we arranged to meet at a Holiday Inn or something in Cleveland or Columbus - But the fun thing was we took over a banquet room and each took tables to lay out hundreds of posters. Imagine a 2 man movie poster convention. He was keen for a bunch of my not so valuable but tough to find titles from the 1950's to fill in blanks in his holdings And I went for anything that looked cool - My favorite was the kicker in the deal - a Belgian Flash Gordon on linen he gave me - still a cherished piece. One thing I can say about Morrie is that he's the real McCoy. A collector's collector and a great guy. Whatever millions come to him, good for him. I hope he has a great time spending the money!

The profession of acting is diminished by his death. When he appeared in a film, I could go to that film, knowing that his performance would always be interesting. Drug addiction is everybody's problem. Incarceration is not the answer. Education is the first line of defense, as with most problems. And taking the profit out of dealing in illicit drugs by the legalization of most drugs is worth a serious consideration. This would not cure drug addiction, but it would change the nature of the problem. And what we have done for decades in the so-called war on drugs is an expensive ghastly flop.

Re: [MOPO] Hanging a Six Sheets
All true. My title hanging this was is Dark Corner.a nice image but not particularly expensive to replace, if damaged. Regards, DBT From: Susan Heim [mailto:filmfantast...@msn.com] Sent: Sunday, September 15, 2013 6:48 PM To: Doug Taylor; MoPo-L Subject: RE: [MOPO] Hanging a Six Sheets Yes Doug...that is another option. Six sheets are problematic, let alone extremely expensive to custom frame. I do often have 6 sheets linenbacked and have them leave about 3 of excess linen and then stretch it on a stretcher bar the way you would a painting. That gives you something to hang it up with. However, you have to build a good stretcher bar with supports in the middle of the square so the poster doesn't sag over time. The fabric is a bit different in it's characteristics when it has paint on it. Paint acts as a natural sealant and doesn't allow the fabric to stretch much. Paper mounted to the fabric doesn't do the same thing so, unless it's stretched properly, it can keep on stretching and sag. Of course, the poster displayed this way, or any way, without a plexiglass covering, does leave it susceptible to junk in the air or something getting spilled on it, especially if you have little hands in the house that like to touch everything. I had a customer once who had a very expensive title he wanted to hang without the cost of framing. It was a poster worth well over $20,000. Framing was about $3000. My feeling is if you have something of that value, you just got to spring for the framing to protect it..

But we just came across that table among some super-old files, so not only are we now able to add our first 1,906 Internet sales ever (from May 7th, 1999 through the end of that year) to our *Auction History http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html*table, but we also can right now share with you some interesting information about how we began on eBay! Our very first auctions ever were on 5/7/99, and they were three test auctions of linenbacked one-sheets at $49.95 each, and the three posters sold to three different buyers for the minimum bid (none of those three buyers from May 7th, 1999 are still current customers). We added five auctions on May 10th, five auctions on May 11th, and seven auctions on May 14th, and those started at a variety of prices, all well under the retail value of the posters, and all sold (at that time, I solely auctioned posters that I owned personally, because I knew that at first I would be selling for under retail, sometimes giving the posters away, so I wanted the loss to be mine and not that of any consignor, and it was not until 12/6/1999 that I first ran an auction for a consignor that was not a poster I owned myself). You can see a chart of those first 20 auctions below: *Date Sold* *Item Title* *Item Size* *Price Sold* 5/7/1999 Young Philadelphians linen one-sheet $49.95 5/7/1999 Tentacles linen one-sheet $49.95 5/7/1999 Two Minute Warning linen one-sheet $49.95 5/10/1999 Beast Within pressbook $5.50 5/10/1999 Hunter pressbook $8.50 5/10/1999 Airplane pressbook $16.50 5/10/1999 Xanadu linen one-sheet $99.06 5/10/1999 Gauntlet folded one-sheet $25.00 5/11/1999 Blues for Lovers linen one-sheet $49.95 5/11/1999 American Hot Wax linen one-sheet $50.00 5/11/1999 Fiddler on the Roof linen one-sheet $50.95 5/11/1999 Oliver's Story pressbook $2.00 5/11/1999 Raiders of the Lost Ark pressbook $26.50 5/14/1999 Speedway folded one-sheet $89.01 5/14/1999 Kagemusha Spanish folded one-sheet $4.95 5/14/1999 Silver Streak folded one-sheet $9.95 5/14/1999 Summer 1999 Sales List Sales List $3.00 5/14/1999 Heaven Can Wait pressbook $12.09 5/14/1999 Meatballs pressbook $15.50 5/14/1999 Spy Who Loved Me linen one-sheet $77.00 The first of the posters that were auctioned on May 10th was bought by one of our current customers (in fact, he just had an order shipped last week!), so we are awarding him an *Ultimate Bonus Offer* (containing books with an original retail of around $500, plus a coffee table book that retails for $50 or more, like Graven Images!), for being our longest term current online customer (he has been buying from us on the Internet for 14 years)!

Re: [MOPO] Pressbook CUTS and effect on value
Indeed an interesting subject. Many of you know that I collect Best Picture winner OS's. For those films, I also collect the original PB and the original program from the Oscar ceremony. I own all but 15 of the original programs.mostly missing programs within the first 20 years. I own about 45 pressbooks from Best Picture winners.the earliest I have is All Quiet on the Western Front. Needless to say, I place great emphasis on uncut PBs. In fact, I've passed on many over the years because they were cut.especially if the cuts impacted the poster pages. I do, however, buy cut PBs for the very rare years. Regards DBT http://www.linkedin.com/in/douglasbtaylor Profile From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of MnTwister Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2013 11:26 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] Pressbook CUTS and effect on value Very interesting subject, and am glad to see pressbooks discussed here a bit more. Long ago when I was 7 and my grandfather had worked for Universal then Fox, and my mother was an editor at Paramount, I became addicted to movies. They frequently had pressbooks lying around the offices, and I remember piles and piles of them. Instead of getting into posters, my ph was paved by the red carpet of pressbooks. A good percentage of mine never got to theaters but were brought home by me from the studios above and of course my grandfather and mother had friends in the other studios so I was able to get those. Luckily, many of the studios had pressbooks dating much father back than 1960 so my collection goes much farther back. In years next 43 years, I have managed to amass a collection of some 15,000+ pressbooks (yes I am still buying them, many times in bulk when I can).

Long ago when I was 7 and my grandfather had worked for Universal then Fox, and my mother was an editor at Paramount, I became addicted to movies.

A good percentage of mine never got to theaters but were brought home by me from the studios above and of course my grandfather and mother had friends in the other studios so I was able to get those. Luckily, many of the studios had pressbooks dating much father back than 1960 so my collection goes much farther back.

I haven't had time to go through it all in great detail, but it was interesting to see them try and palm-off a Casablanca Australian Daybill as a US insert. Even more mischievously, they describe their latest Outlaw 6sheet (where are all these Outlaw 6sheets coming from?!?) as ...only the third time this poster has appeared for sale at Christies. The last time this poster was offered for sale in these rooms in 2004, it realised over £50,000. A cynic might point out that it only achieved this price because Christies encouraged the 2004 consignor to claim that they had destroyed the other copies of this poster. And a cynic did point this out (see below) to their expert Caitlin Stonewall Graham, who didn't seem that thrilled about getting involved in a debate with me. Maybe she's a bit shy.

Hepburn is not the first (nor will she be the last) dead celebrity who Madison Avenue has brought back to life thanks to advanced technology used in order to hawk a product. Chris Farley shilled for DirecTV, Fred Astaire danced for Dirt Devil, John Lennon rocked out for Rock Band, Gene Kelly grooved for Volkswagen, John Wayne sipped on Coors Light and Kurt Cobain wore his Doc Martens in heaven.

Re: [MOPO] OT - Why Steven Spielberg Is A Loser In Hollywood.
I thought Silver Linings was Best Picture, followed by Argo. Lincoln would have been 3-5 on my ballot. DDL and Spader were great, but I found the film uninspired and a bit manipulative from the opening scene of the conversation between Lincoln and the two soldiers. Regards DBT http://www.linkedin.com/in/douglasbtaylor Profile From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of David Kusumoto Sent: Friday, March 1, 2013 6:55 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] OT - Why Steven Spielberg Is A Loser In Hollywood. A pair of interesting stories evaluating why Steven Spielberg - who, along with pre-1996 Martin Scorcese are my favorite still-living directors of all time - is a big loser when it comes to winning awards. Argo was fine, but I thought Lincoln and the Silver Linings Playbook were better. Meanwhile, this year's Oscars telecast with Seth MacFarlane made me vomit in my mouth a little. The first article is from Buzz Feed, the second is from the NY Times. - d. Argo Win Makes Steven Spielberg Hollywood's Biggest Loser Once again, the Best Picture prize slips from his hands. What does Hollywood have against its most successful resident? by Richard Rushfield - BuzzFeed Staff Writer, February 24, 2013 http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr03/2013/2/23/17/enhanced-buzz -25736-1361658499-3.jpg Image by Mario Anzuoni / Reuters Tonight, Hollywood officially turned its back on its king. Again. The triumph of Argo in the Best Picture race, snatching victory from the jaws of Lincoln brings Steven Spielberg's win-loss record to a dismal one victory in seven at bats for entertainment's biggest prize. And tonight, not only did he lose out on the Best Picture prize that once seemed his, but the consolation prize of Best Director, the category in which Argo's Affleck was not even nominated, was also snatched away and handed to Life of Pi's Ang Lee. For a man who is widely considered Hollywood's godfather who is in his unbelievable fifth decade at the top of the heap, who has reigned untouchable since before many of today's young directors were born facing up to yet another defeat at the hands of his people starts to look like a clear and consistent rebuff. Worse still, Spielberg's films are not just distant also rans. Most of his seven nominated films were at some point in their campaigns considered favorites to win the whole thing, making Spielberg the Academy's Charlie Brown, forever having the football pulled away. This year in particular. for a brief moment between the Oscar nominations being announced and the Golden Globes, Spielberg's Lincoln looked like a shoo-in to win the prize. Only to see Argo stage a last minute surge and steal its thunder again. So to what do we attribute this ongoing snub? Chalk it up to Hollywood's love/hate relationship with its greats. The number one thing Hollywood hates is failure. The sad fates of those who have fallen beneath the C list demonstrate every day how little empathy the town has for those who can't soar with the eagles. But the number two thing Hollywood hates is success. Praying for the downfall of its mighty is practically the industry's official religion. Spielberg these days is such a venerable figure that one can easily forget his historically troubled history with the Academy. After receiving one for a Best Picture nominations for his first outing Jaws, but then being denied for nearly a decade that followed, Oscar finally broken down and ponied up nods for E.T. when it became the day's highest grossing of all time and Color Purple. But both those films still lost out on the grand prizes, and to add insult, he was shut out in Best Director category throughout the 70s and 80s as well. After the Color Purple loss, Academy officials were so alarmed by the serial snubbing of Hollywood's most successful director that they took the unheard of step of bestowing upon Spielberg at age 40 the Thalberg Lifetime achievement award, until then reserved for septuagenarians at the end of their careers. It wasn't until seven years later, when he made a three hour holocaust film that Oscar finally couldn't deny giving him their grand prize for Schindler's List. But since then, it has been a 20 year sea of also-rans. Of course, he hasn't gone completely unrecognized. Eight Best Picture nominations is something most directors will never even dream of. Add to that, two Best Directing awards making him the most awarded director since William Wyler in the 1950's. But still, somehow the Best Picture prize keeps sliding from his grasp, and for a man at the top of Hollywood, to be the town's perpetual also-ran in its biggest contest has to be galling. In a town with despite the disruptive presence of the internet a fixed number of studios and a shrinking number of major releases, entertainment remains a zero-sum game.

So to me Yoko is cool and part of the whole 60s ,, movement along with Wharhol and the dada movement and the other art movements of the time... the Voice and all was just a extention of originality and crossing the limits of expression almost like a cry of primal screeming so in a way I think that why lennon loved her as he too saw all the BS of society.. and thats why he compared the Beatles attraction to Jesus was that he saw they where just simple Liverpool lads that with some beefed up marketing from Epsiten where able to project a image that peopel made up half the time.. they just went with the flow.. like the LSD lucy inthe sky withdiamonds and more... all just peopel seeing in it what they wanted well I was emailing with Julian Lennon and i told him about my sones film... not relizing salami JOE the film is about a Buluga whale sauage...recipe... well Julian ironiically did a film about saving whales... so I offended him a isuspect but he defriended me off facebook... which Then i wrote and kidded him as to being a limey and also that i would take away his white geather status that he thinks was a omen from aboriginies in austrailia that his dad said would help him. so I sent him into orbit Then I joked on the AMIA list awahile back... that Paul wrote all the John songs to archivists world over...I thought it was a hoot as It was always a joke who wrote what... well the archivists got theire feathers rufflesd and through me off the Group... yep... so the beatles appear to love me. I once talked to Lindas step mom .. John eastmans wife and my friend was her neighbor in ScarsdaleNY where she came from a poster friend In UK had Mal evans ) beatles Roadie) daughter that helped selling posters and stuff Once in NYC at a trade show.. Avi hersh a button maker said you shouldme paul he would like yourstuff as he collects animation...I came two inches from shaking hands in Detroit when His manager met me backstage in 1976 on a wings tour,, Brian brawley,,, and as i turned my back Paul and linda hopped in a limo and took off waving,,, they had to leave the airport by 9pm for a noise ordinance.,, that was so close.. like 3 foot... I did meet Pete best and took him to a jazz bar with the band in Toledo called Rustys and we talked... seems his mom owned the van , and rehearsal place and was like the manager ,,, and when Brian came on board he said the mom has to go if you want me and so did Pete... Can you imagine that so me being kicked off newslist is nothing comapared to pete being kicked out of the Beatles.. In summery I think Yoko is a sweetheart and she misses John so much and she is trying still to forgive and get world peace... To me shes a pillar and john would be proud of her and Sean and even Julian although Julian seems deeply hurt and yet loves his dad and even collects beatle stuff, does photography and music and seems like a great soul also... we all are just trying to find our way in this crazy thing we call Life... I like the beatle lyrics and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.. sums it up for me... God bless everyone...

My NM Plum-style GWTW, my VF Mutiny on the Bounty, and many others were found in this great publication. Thank you Brian, very much.

Movie Collector's World 1976-2012 I am so very sad to announce that On Monday, October 15 two of the most highly respected film buff publications, Movie Collector's World (MCW) and Classic Images (CI) announced that they had come to an agreement on the sale of MCW. Classic Images has agreed to buy Movie Collectors World, a Michigan based newspaper published by Brian Bukantis since 1985. The agreement was made on Friday, October 12. The two papers, serving movie buffs around the world, will be merged into one monthly publication. Under the terms of the agreement, currently active paid MCW subscribers will receive each monthly issue of CI, beginning with the December issue, for the length of their MCW subscription term. Those of you who only joined this hobby the past few years only know of MCW as a thin magazine, filled mostly with auction announcements and ads for the foremost dealers. But for those of us who have been in the hobby for decades, we remember so well those pre-Internet days when a large portion of the collectors and dealers subscribed to this then bulging publication, because it was THE number one way to buy and sell, and pretty much the most important day of the month was the one when MCW arrived! This really IS the end of an era. I want to publicly thank Brian Bukantis for publishing it the past 27 years, and for doing a superb job throughout that time (of course, the ONLY thing he couldn't overcome was the Internet, which is rapidly putting EVERY newspaper and magazine out of business, and Brian should be quite proud that he was able to continue publishing as long as he did). He is a great guy, both personally and professionally, and he added immeasurably to our hobby. The ONLY silver lining to this is that Brian's life now won't be spent going from one urgent deadline to another!

It has never sold for very much, averaging around $20 or less. =d. http://bit.ly/IEn9Bu Date: Tue, 1 May 2012 17:30:31 + From: douglasbtay...@hotmail.com mailto:douglasbtay...@hotmail.com Subject: DS English Patient A OS?

The second version has production credits at the bottom, but then is missing that small logo and the word Presenta at the upper right. Because of this omission, the 3 actors' names are now not centered. And with the name Enterprise Films in the credits, on this version, wouldn't that suggest a later release by a local distributor?

It distracted me in a way too, though maybe for different reasons than most of the rest of you. The music used in the film is not from the original film itself as conducted by Bernard Hermann, but rather is a later suite recording made by the Royal Philharmonic conducted by Elmer Bernstein. The orchestra sounds fantastic and Elmer's conducting approach as contrasted with Bernard's is different, by really rather elegant. By comparison the Brussels Philharmonic, which plays the rest of the score for The Artist just sounds dreadful to me; out of tune, poor solo playing and lame mix. I'm not making a comment on the compositions themselves. I have opinions, but that isn't what I'm talking about here. Nonetheless the score itself has been nominated for an Academy Award. There is a Red Nichols recording used in the film that is right from the time of The Artist, as well as Duke Ellington and Rose Murphy recordings from about a decade after the time period in which The Artist is set. If the intent of the score was to mimic the sound quality of a late 1920's orchestra they didn't come close to getting it right, if not...then it sounds lame without any pretense driving it, in my opinion. Anyway, I found that far more distracting than noticing Vertigo. - Original Message - From: Alan Heimann mailto:alanheim...@gmail.com To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU mailto:MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2012 3:34 PM Subject: [MOPO] the artist ran out to see this before the awards..just home..storyline predictable..acting excellent..nice odes to this and that...some things i liked besides the dog..actually the william powell\ astor relationship was nice..

And isn't it a bad sign when the best segment was the circus art, which has zero to do with movies. It hit me when they did the In Memorium segment, and there were tons of behind the scenes people no one knows, with a few famous faces thrown in. They have successfully turned the Oscars into the Golden Globes, filled with insiders and inside jokes, where they pretty much ignore the viewing public, and give the awards to the movies THEY like. the kind that the critics fawn over, but which not many people actually see. Of course, this transformation has been going on for many years, but at least they used to pretend to care about the people who make it all possible, those who buy the tickets. And in a day when movies face more and more competition from all sorts of other kinds of entertainment, it may not be just the awards ceremony that sees its number of viewers continuing to fall in coming years. This was once must-viewing for me. and I have watched it every year, but I think I will skip it next year. Bruce -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 24 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.

By the time 11 o'clock rolled around I was completely caught up, having not listened to any of the acceptance speeches I wasn't interested in or the commercials. (You do the math on that one.) I thought Billy Crystal got it right almost all night. I thought some of the choices on the video packages were strange especially the In Memorial segment which featured almost all still photos, odd for an event celebrating motion pictures. I didn't miss having to sit through the two ghastly Best Songs but the package assembled for Best Movie of the Year was wrong-headed, intercutting the clips from the best films so that one never got a taste for any of the nine films, just a stupid idea. I wasn't too upset with the actual awards last night, although I wish Hugo had taken either Best Movie or Best Direction. I was frankly expecting an old guard backlash with the totally ordinary The Descendants and George Clooney winning top awards and I'm glad that didn't happen. I would have preferred Viola Davis or Michelle Williams rather than Meryl Streep winning for a strong performance in an absolutely ghastly film but I'm also glad Woody Allen didn't win for his latest warmed-over opus.

We could actually see the entire audience in the beautiful theatre last night-- instead of having it decorated like a studio for a game show, complete with peanut gallerey screaming, Pick me!

They have successfully turned the Oscars into the Golden Globes, filled with insiders and inside jokes, where they pretty much ignore the viewing public, and give the awards to the movies THEY like. the kind that the critics fawn over, but which not many people actually see.

It was the foulest and most racist picture I'd ever seen. But I went again and again, each time with a new group of friends. It got funnier even though there's no nudity nor a single f-word in the entire picture. Looking back, it's typical juvenile humor by Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor and their gang of crazy writers that mostly men enjoy. I took my Dad with my brothers to see it and we all howled. But then I took my girlfriend to see it and she hated it. She was OFFENDED. That was the kind of picture it was.

Leonardo DiCaprio spearheads effort with help from Steven Spielberg, Terry Semel. Beverly Hills, CA - The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has acquired a pair of the iconic ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio led a group of angel donors whose gifts to the Academy Foundation enabled the purchase. In addition to the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation - a component fund of CCF Environmental and Humanitarian Causes - donations came from producer-director Steven Spielberg and Terry Semel, co-chair of Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the former chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. and Yahoo! - along with other donors.

It is widely believed that these are the slippers Judy Garland wore in close-ups and insert shots, most famously when Dorothy clicks her heels three times to return to Kansas. They are called the Witch's Shoes because they are likely the pair seen on the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East after Dorothy's house falls on the witch. After production of the film ended in 1939, the ruby slippers were stored on MGM's Culver City lot for the next three decades. Several pairs of slippers were discovered in 1970 by costumer Kent Warner while he was preparing for that year's historic auction of MGM costumes, props and other production-related items. One pair of slippers was sold at the auction and was donated anonymously to the Smithsonian in 1979. Warner kept the finest pair - the Witch's Shoes - in his private collection for more than a decade before selling them at auction in 1981. They were sold again in 1988 to another private collector, and have been displayed publicly only a handful of times in the years since, most notably at the National Portrait Gallery and the Library of Congress. The 2012 sale to the Academy was handled by auction house Profiles in History. Last October, the Academy and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced plans to establish the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures inside the historic May Company building, currently known as LACMA West. The building has been a Los Angeles landmark since its opening in 1939, the same year The Wizard of Oz premiered. ABOUT THE ACADEMY The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world's preeminent movie-related organization, with a membership of more than 6,000 of the most accomplished men and women working in cinema. In addition to the annual Academy Awards-in which the members vote to select the nominees and winners--the Academy presents a diverse year-round slate of public programs, exhibitions and events; provides financial support to a wide range of other movie-related organizations and endeavors; acts as a neutral advocate in the advancement of motion picture technology; and, through its Margaret Herrick Library and Academy Film Archive, collects, preserves, restores and provides access to movies and items related to their history.

Leonardo DiCaprio spearheads effort with help from Steven Spielberg, Terry Semel. Beverly Hills, CA - The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has acquired a pair of the iconic ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio led a group of angel donors whose gifts to the Academy Foundation enabled the purchase. In addition to the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation - a component fund of CCF Environmental and Humanitarian Causes - donations came from producer-director Steven Spielberg and Terry Semel, co-chair of Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the former chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. and Yahoo! - along with other donors. The ruby slippers occupy an extraordinary place in the hearts of movie audiences the world over, said Bob Iger, president and CEO of the Walt Disney Co. and chair of the capital campaign for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. This is a transformative acquisition for our collection. Leo's passionate leadership has helped us bring home this legendary piece of movie history, added Academy CEO Dawn Hudson. It's a wonderful gift to the Academy museum project, and a perfect representation of the work we do year-round to preserve and share our film heritage. These slippers, known as the Witch's Shoes, are in the most pristine condition of the four pairs of ruby slippers known to exist. It is widely believed that these are the slippers Judy Garland wore in close-ups and insert shots, most famously when Dorothy clicks her heels three times to return to Kansas. They are called the Witch's Shoes because they are likely the pair seen on the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East after Dorothy's house falls on the witch. After production of the film ended in 1939, the ruby slippers were stored on MGM's Culver City lot for the next three decades. Several pairs of slippers were discovered in 1970 by costumer Kent Warner while he was preparing for that year's historic auction of MGM costumes, props and other production-related items. One pair of slippers was sold at the auction and was donated anonymously to the Smithsonian in 1979. Warner kept the finest pair - the Witch's Shoes - in his private collection for more than a decade before selling them at auction in 1981. They were sold again in 1988 to another private collector, and have been displayed publicly only a handful of times in the years since, most notably at the National Portrait Gallery and the Library of Congress. The 2012 sale to the Academy was handled by auction house Profiles in History. Last October, the Academy and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced plans to establish the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures inside the historic May Company building, currently known as LACMA West. The building has been a Los Angeles landmark since its opening in 1939, the same year The Wizard of Oz premiered.

I have a couple of signed AA awards programs. I've never collected an autograph myself. I was lucky enough to meet many at the awards, from Audrey Hepburn to Carey Grant, but never asked for an autograph or a picture.

Re: [MOPO] The real The Great Escape!
I loved this movie and this story. It was an amazing accomplishment, and it didn't hurt the my hometown fav James Garner played a key role in the film. When I was in MBA school at the University of Oklahoma, we had a very progressive management professor who used movies for teaching and tests in his Group Dynamics course. Our mid-term was to analyze the results of management styles in the Great Escape. (Our final was doing the same for 12 O'clock High.) During the prep for our mid-term the professor brought in a local vet from Oklahoma City, who was a prisoner at the Stalag and part of the team that built the tunnels. It was fantastic to hear the stories.
