Re: [MOPO] Mounted on wood!

[Douglas B Taylor]

Alan,

I bought an All Quiet on the Western Front OS in 2003 that was owned (I 
believe) by a dealer or collector on this board.  The original OS was mounted 
on a board and covered in shellack.

Before purchasing, I sent it to Studio C to test whether there were solvents 
that could remove the shellack without destroying the paper, and also solvents 
that could remove the glue holding it to the board, without destroying the 
paper.  Studio C was able to find a way to do both.  I finalized the purchase 
and Studio C completed the process.  It cost me about $2,000 (in this case and 
in 2003).  The poster looks fabulous and is now on linen.  The only telltale 
sign of its' "former life" is that the paper absorbed just a bit of the 
shellack which made it slightly stiffer than a normal poster.  To the average 
fan this would probably not be noticeable, but a seasoned collector might feel 
the difference.

I'm not sure where you might go for service now, as it's been almost 20 years 
since Studio C did mine, but I can assure you that it can be done.

Hope this helps.

Doug

Looks like a handful of serious serial one sheets are headed my way. Each one 
is white border trimmed and mounted solidly on wood. The kicker is they've been 
varnished.  Very old school collection long In storage. Yipes!

Who in LA would have the skill to remove these beauties and restore them?  Did 
the varnish kill them? Should I just try and sell as-is?

Thanks folks for any ideas on saving these treasures. 

Alan

Excellent acting and clever scripts.  All the Cleavers rebelled in their own

many TV series and later directed episodes of "Babylon 5," "Star Trek: Deep

[MOPO] Not movies, but Broadway

[Douglas B Taylor]

Tony nominations came out today.  Parade had 6 nominations, for what is a 
heartbreaking true story, with gorgeous, gorgeous music.

I bring it up because it is my first foray into Broadway Producing.  I'm only a 
small, baby Producer, but nevertheless, a Producer of a Tony nominated musical.

Go see it!!!

The last living performer from Casablanca is gone, as French actress Madeleine 
Lebeau, who played Yvonne in the 1942 Academy Award winning classic, and in 
real life lived through experiences as harrowing as those of the film’s lead 
character, died following a hip injury on May 1. She was 92.

I agree.  "La La Land" is likely to win the big prize, and it was impressive 
when I saw it on the Cinerama Dome last month - but none of its original tunes 
have "classic" written all over 'em, such as you'd find in many Broadway or 
Disney animated musicals.  And I don't get its nom for best original 
screenplay.  To me the best written script was "Manchester by the Sea."

Looking over the selections - this is the first time in my LIFE - that I have 
seen all nine Best Pic nominees before TODAY.  Subjective rankings:

Likely favorites to win Best Picture:
1. La La Land
2. Moonlight
3. Hidden Figures
4. Manchester by the Sea
5. Arrival
6. Lion
7. Hell or High Water
8. Fences
9. Hacksaw Ridge

The films I liked the most among the Best Picture noms:
1. Manchester by the Sea
2. Arrival
3. La La Land
4. Hidden Figures
5. Hacksaw Ridge
6. Moonlight
7. Hell or High Water
8. Lion
9. Fences

Have to add that although constructed in a conventionally formulaic and 
self-aware way, "Hidden Figures" was for me the most crowd pleasing / enjoyable 
of all the movies nominated for Best Picture, followed by "La La Land."  
"Manchester" was the most depressing to many patrons - (but not to me) - yet 
it's gifted with some of the best writing and acting of the year, esp. Casey 
Affleck, who plays with a quiet self-hatred that's volcanic.  Watching it, I 
felt the air go out of the audience at the end, but to me, it's not a bad 
ending.  For me, NONE of the films nominated for the top prize this year are 
dogs.  They're all good.  (Although I wouldn't have minded to see Michael 
Keaton's evil portrayal in "The Founder" slip in there.)  And FWIW, if the Best 
Director noms remain an a signal of Best Picture odds - (in recent years they 
have not) - then the choices are limited to "La La Land," "Moonlight," 
"Arrival," "Manchester by the Sea" and "Hacksaw Ridge."  "Hacksaw," BTW, plays 
out like a sentimental William Wyler film with a lot of "Private Ryan" carnage; 
excellent craftsmanship but I thought Mel Gibson's pariah status in Hollywood 
would shut him out.  "Arrival" is slow but has a mind-bending, 
out-of-this-world payoff - and "Moonlight" is heartbreakingly vivid in its 
portrayal of bullying, gay self-identity and its relationship to the ethos of

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.

Dear Mopos -

I know, I know.

But has a Cavalcade orig. 1 sheet (or poster) surfaced of late - or does anyone 
have one.

No matter how reclusive you may be - Please make contact if you have paper or 
information.
I guarantee confidentiality.

Thanks.

Re: [MOPO] GRAVITY

[Douglas B Taylor]

I was truly surprised by the level of suspense generated from start to finish.  
I really expected this to be a lonely exploration of mental anguish and 
isolation, with little real tension, but I was dead wrong.

Totally agree with you, Doug.  I do think she’s been on a roll recently.  But 
this movie
is more than just her, even though I think she is spectacular.  This is 
exciting filmmaking.

Re: [MOPO] GRAVITY

I thought the same thing.  The bullock daughter back story was the attempt to 
create empathy for the character.  I think it was a shallow attempt, but truly 
enjoyed the ride.

I can't deny the technical brilliance of the film and the effects keep me from 
being bored much of the time but where was the script? We never got to know 
anything about the two characters except that Bullock lost a daughter and 
Clooney's wife left him when he was on a mission. I couldn't have cared less 
about these two people. I saw the film in 3D IMAX. I can't imagine seeing it in 
2D.

Re: [MOPO] 20 Years of MoPo!

Congrats on 20 years.  It has cost me a LOT of money.

(I've loved every minute of it, though...well, except maybe for the minutes 
after my first post.  I had naively sent jpg attachments of many poster styles 
I wanted to buy.  Wow, did I receive some "colorful" email responses from 
members whose inboxes were blown up.)

Yes, we've had some grand flame wars during the history of MOPO! This was a

've only threatened one poster person with bodily harm, and that was over

wouldn't send a deposit, and was generally not somebody I wished to deal with 
anymore. Someone else offered me a ton of dough for the same poster and I sold 
it. This guy called me and became incredibly unpleasant, insulting me and 
basically calling me a crook, a scumbag,the usual dickhead repertoire of 
lame insults. I calmly reminded him that he had every chance to purchase the 
poster but did not come through with anything resembling a payment. I also 
calmly reminded him that i had his physical address and would be happy to show 
up at his doorstep in a couple of hours with another linen backed one sheet 
which i would then insert in his back passage without the use of lubricating 
liquids. Free of charge. I'm a generous fellow. (It is very, very hard to piss 
me off, by the way, butTHIS guy was a piece of work.) 
I never heard from him again.
Sometimes, the written word just doesn't convey a message as well as the 
warm, soothing sound of the human voice, does it?

Carry on, my fellow poster dorks!

Well, here I go with another tangent, but since you bright up Cinema Paradiso...

My all time favorite films are (for me) "the four C's"...Casablanca, Citizen 
Kane, City Lights and Cinema Paradiso.

I will never forget seeing Cinema Paradiso in Washington DC, at the AFI.  It 
was a couple years after the release and I hadn't seen it since the original 
run so I jumped at the chance to see the AFI screening.

I sat next to my wife (at the time) and, about 15 minutes before the end of the 
movie, I began sobbing like a baby.  I had just remembered that the scene withe 
the kisses was coming up and it shattered me.  What a wonderful, wonderful 
moment in film.  I honestly don't know if there is a better moment in film then 
the kissing reel in Cinema Paradiso.  Probably many equal, but maybe none 
better.

Speaking of directors, my appreciation of Ang Lee grows more and more.

Who has directed more diverse films then Brokeback Mountain, Sense and 
Sensibility, Life of Pi?  Each with a distinct look and feel.

Yes, Joe's right about EMPIRE. I think if he made it today, Spielberg would hew 
closer to Ballard's book which is far more grim in its details of camp life. 
Overall, though EMPIRE nails it and young Christian Bale is a revelation.
I find the "too cool to like Spielberg" school almost as irritating as the "too 
cool to like Tarantino school". Wildly different in their wolrd view and style, 
both have a remarkable facility with the medium.
My favourite director working today, though, is Ridley Scott whose eye is truly 
extraordinary and whose films are often politically subversive.

"Empire of the Sun" is one of Spielberg's favorite films. He has stated that he 
WANTED to make this film and has been thrilled to discover years later that it 
is a cult favorite world-wide! Sorry, Kenwick, but I'll take Spielberg's word

Hey guys;
 I want to chime in for some reason... I'm just a fan who doesn't really know 
what he's talking about, but I have a right to my 'opinion', so I'm going to 
exercise that right...
Spielberg USED to be my favorite director up until ET... I think that was his 
turning point... up until that moment, this fan feels that he was making movies 
that HE wanted to make, rather than movies that he thought OTHER people wanted 
him to make... He stopped making "fun" movies, only to add his name as 
"Executive Producer" on the fun popcorn movies, overshadowing the credits for 
the likes of the directors Joe Dante (Gremlins), Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist), and 
Robert Zemeckis (Back To The Future, etc.). You can't convince me that the same 
guy who brought us Duel, CE3K, Jaws and Raiders decided to make movies like 
TheColor Purple andEmpire of the Sun because he wanted to. He made those in 
hopes for awards... He finally got it with Schindler's List, but didn't quit 
there... Sure, he's the most talented and capable mogul who can bring to the 
table quality product ( I don't want to piss Tom off), but this moviegoer just 
wants to see his epic popcorn-movies, which is what he's best at. If I want a 
History lesson on Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, or Lincoln, I'll watch the 
History Channel. I'd rather watch Minority Report, Jurassic Park, or that lousy 
War Of The Worlds than Lincoln, no matter how powerful, moving and accurate it 
may be. (IMHO)

A pair of interesting stories evaluating why Steven Spielberg - who, along with 
pre-1996 Martin Scorcese aremy 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

“Argo” Win Makes Steven Spielberg Hollywood's Biggest LoserOnce 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

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

managing him, there was simply no defense...you were going down.

That's interesting, Doug. My oldest son is a very unemotional person, but
he loves Cinema Paradiso (as I do) and I watched it again with him and he
too cried at the kissing scene, and I can't remember the last time he cried
about anything.

What a wonderful movie (whether or not it won Oscars!).

I sent them a note also...no reply.

Check your spam folder, that's where mine ended up.



I sent an email to them advising that most of their invoices probably ended up 
in spam folders but received no response.

[MOPO] Jaime Mendez

[Douglas B Taylor]

Does anyone know if Jaime Mendez is up and running?  He's had a six sheet of 
mine for some time and his communication has been really spotty.  Is something 
up?

Thanks

Doug

Just wanted to publicly thank Jaime Mendez for his great restoration on what

He took it from this...

To this...

RIP to the greatest showman since Barnum, Rudy Franchi. I am only sorry he 
can't see his obit at the top of the New York Times obituary page, because it 
would surely please him no end!
