Re: [MOPO] Number 24
According to Bruce's archives, it looks to be around $3-4k back then. It was enough that one of the early projects of this group was to commission a style B half sheet reprint project. I have one of these hanging. Members of the group put in some effort. My recollection says they managed to get the failing NSS to issue a number and actually displayed the result at an art house showing, thus making it a legitimate re-release poster. I believe 100 total were printed by Filmprints, inc. Bruce sold one in 2009, listed here: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/4596226.html On Mon, 25 Feb 2019 07:32:50 -0800, Alan Adler wrote: > Happy Birthday - > > What was a Forbidden Planet 1 sheet worth 24 years ago? > > Alan > > 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. -- Jay Nemeth-Johannes 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] Heritage Signature auction [EXTERNAL]
We have had this discussion several times. People tend to collect memories and mostly during their middle age period from 40-60 years old. These days, stuff from the 1960s and earlier are before they were born, so they can only relate to a few timeless classics. 80s and 90s are red hot now. You see this in the classic car hobby to a greater extent. Model A Fords were really hot through the 1990s, but as kids born in the teens and twenties started dying off, the market crashed. Cars that were bringing $40-60k were then hard pressed to get $15k. Everyone wanted muscle cars and 50s hot rods. Now, we have seen the hot rods die down and the muscle car market has peaked. What is getting hot is the 80s and 90s imports. Simply because this is what today's 40-somethings aspired to as teenagers. I collect old musicals. These days I can aspire to stuff that was out of reach 20 years ago, but I also know I will take a bath when it comes time to sell. I'll make it up with some 80s horror, John Hughes, and the like.

Re: [MOPO] Help- 6 sheet framing/display
I once thought about using a pair of cut down 4'x9' plexi panels and using polycarbonate H channel to join them.

Re: [MOPO] Does anyone know the story with the ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST One Sheets?? [EXTERNAL]
Well, the rating changed from M to GP for domestic releases during the late 1969 to early 1970 period. I would think there is a chance #2 may have been a later printing of a first release, where the rating box was removed because of the confusion. Just speculating. -- Jay Nemeth-Johannes 8901 N Rexleigh Dr Bayside WI 53217 970-290-9797 From: MoPo List on behalf of "Smith, Grey - 1367" Reply-To: "Smith, Grey - 1367" Date: Friday, May 18, 2018 at 6:44 PM To: Subject: Re: [MOPO] Does anyone know the story with the ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST One Sheets?? [EXTERNAL] Thanks, Todd, a good question. I will explain our reasoning and say that by calling the large title in lower right version 1969 was obviously a mistake from some time ago. M rating lower left corner within artwork. National Screen Service info on right side of bottom border, then 69/241 This would be the domestic release for the poster and with the rating assuredly used in the states. No M rating lower left corner within artwork. National Screen Service info on right side of bottom border, then 69/241 This is believed to be the International one sheet as no ratings were used on those posters generally. Some might say, well with NSS number it wouldn’t be International but I suggest that it is International as during that time, most domestic release posters did have a rating. No M rating lower left corner within artwork. No National Screen Service info and No 69/241. Instead, the title is on the right side of the bottom border. This is a late 1970s, early 1980s reissue most likely and sold previously I believe as 1969. IMDB says there was a showing in 1980, but as you know it wasn’t until the early 1970s that NSS started labeling the posters with the larger title in the lower right leading us to deduce this is a reissue just as we know the James Bonds titles with similar markings are reissue. More recently we have called this a reissue.

Re: [MOPO] I just want you all to know
This never seems to die down. It happened, but not here. The woman being stalked left the forum and joined a different one. When the stalker tried to follow, he was told forcefully he was not wanted. Several of us protested to the forum owner, but did not receive any support. Some quit and went elsewhere. I have stayed, but my postings are down to almost none. Obviously there is more to the story, but frankly it is best to move on. Since the issue happened well over a year ago, and has nothing to do with posters, it is best to let it die out. I have absolutely no idea why anyone feels it is relevant here or why they should unsubscribe over an old dead issue elsewhere. Methinks there is another reason not being said.

Re: [MOPO] My 2014 MOPO THINK-ABOUT-IT QUESTION
It was M*A*S*H for me. I was in the military, stationed in Kansas. At the end of the film I got in my car and headed north toward Canada. This did not please the three guys riding with me, and eventually they convinced me to turn around and head back to the base. Still, it was at that point I decided I did not want a military career and decided it was time to grow up and make something of my life.

Re: [MOPO] Vintage photo and still repair and restoration?
Hi Simon, My parents owned a portrait photography studio back in the '50s and '60s. We regularly got this sort of restoration work. The standard procedure was to do the restoration artwork on the original and then make an inter-negative and a new print. However, glossy prints, such as those used for stills were very tricky. It is impossible to create that sheen, so they generally created an intermediate matte print, did the restoration and then created another negative and glossy print. That makes it third generation and the results were generally somewhat soft. If I were to attack such a job these days, I think I would digitize, do the restoration in photoshop and then create a new print. You have one other issue to deal with though. Vintage prints were on a paper backing. In the mid-70s, Kodak switched to a polyester based 'paper' and obsoleted the paper stock. The old paper stock hasn't been available for 40 years now, so making a new print that looks and feels like the old one is impossible. Probably best to either find another copy, or live with the bad one, while creating a modern laser printed restored copy for display purposes.

Re: [MOPO] OT: NEW THIS WEEK - PHILIPPE HALSMAN MONROE, DIETRICH, DALI, MANSFIELD, WARHOL & MORE
Halsman published a book around 1959 called The Jump Book. He managed to get hundreds of celebrities to jump up in the air for a picture. This appears to be a covor photo from one of the editions. (see http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=halsman+the+jump+book&qpvt=halsman+the+jump+book&FORM=IGRE ) Halsman's rationale was that when a person is jumping, they let loose of their reserve and let out more of their natural self.

Re: [MOPO] R.I.P. Movie Collector's World 1976-2012
OK, one of the things I have noticed in this duscussion is that people talk about the cutbacks in newsroom staff (reporters, cartoonists, proofreaders). While this is true, the impact is much larger (100%) on the production and distribution staff. I feel for the typesetters, printers, circulation, truck drivers and even the lowly kid who proudly delivers the paper to your hedge or roof. The writers will find work. Not so sure about the blue collar folks.

Re: [MOPO] R.I.P. Movie Collector's World 1976-2012
The main dailies as well for the classified. Years ago, the classified ads section was thicker than the entire paper is today. The Sunday paper used to have 3 sections of classifieds. Who needs that in these days of craigslist? I spent a couple of years as an apprentice pressman for The Milwaukee Journal back in the late '60s. They updated the presses while I was there to a set that could produce 120,000 papers an hour with capability of printing 5 sections, for a total of 60 pages all in one operation. I wonder how long it has been since they needed that sort of capacity.

Re: [MOPO] Right to re-sell imperiled??
Here is the link to the USSC casefile, which includes the basic argument: The question presented is how these provisions apply to a copy that was made and legally acquired abroad and then imported into the United States. Can such a foreign-made product never be resold within the United States without the copyright owner's permission, as the Second Circuit held in this case? Can such a foreign-made product sometimes be resold within the United States without permission, but only after the owner approves an earlier sale in this country, as the Ninth Circuit held in Costco? Or can such a product always be resold without permission within the United States, so long as the copyright owner authorized the first sale abroad, as the Third Circuit has indicated? http://www.supremecourt.gov/qp/11-00697qp.pdf Seems to mostly apply to material that was manufactured and/or copyrighted overseas, but that could affect sales of foreign posters here. It affects eBay because a large percentage of their business comes from resale of items manufactured overseas, and an unfavorable ruling would affect how the company does business.

Re: [MOPO] I need help with a new series of "Sexiest pre-1960 actress ever" Face/Offs!
Looking at the list, I think you need to slightly adjust the description of the face-off. These are all actresses who had major career success in the 40s and 50s. My initial thought was to suggest names from the 20s and 30s, but I don¹t think that is where you are going. BTW, the list looks good for those rules (career after 1945 and before 1960) Jay Nemeth-Johannes 8901 N Rexleigh Dr Bayside, WI 53217 (970) 290-9797 (Cell) -- On 7/7/12 8:11 AM, "Bruce Hershenson" wrote: > I am going to start a three week series of Face/Offs, choosing the Sexiest > pre-1960 actress ever! > > Here's how it will work: > There will be 16 to start.

[MOPO] The recent unpleasantness
Folks, this is getting tedious. It must be the hot weather and the election year politics, but we all need to count to 10 and take a step back. I am talking about what is going on here at MOPO and on the various forums. Bruce: You are rapidly losing 'good guy' points by your need to defend and respond. Your attacks on other dealers isn't helping your cause either. Just go back to doing your best. People understand and respect that. Rich: There is a time and place for everything, and your 'poking the bear' stuff has stopped being amusing. Grey: Good show. You made your case and shut up. The rest could learn from your example. Dave: I think we all know where your market is, and for the most part it isn't us. Just ignore the yammerers. They are jealous of your merchandise but unwilling to pay the price. The rest of you: I think it is time to suck it up. Your grievences have been heard. Continuing to pound at them just makes you appear to be yammerers. I apologize to those I offended, and to those I offended through omission.

Re: [MOPO] An auction house to avoid
Well, I have items that I believe are one of a kind. For example a 1 sheet for a Richard Dix silent "The Glorious Fool", but I have no way to prove it is unique. I expect that much of the paper for early silents is rare to nonexistant, especially for lost films. It is easier when the film is iconic and everyone is trying to find an example. Any Dracula find is going to get widespread press. My guess on why some stuff is more available is pure chance that it was initially printed in too large a quantity and somebody warehoused it for decades. Laziness rules where a more efficient person throws away the "useless" trash. Jay On 04/13/12 11:16 AM, Phillip W. Ayling wrote: It would be great if these same all-knowing censustakers could also tell us "three known fakes currently being offered". While it makes big news whenever a Dracula one-sheet or a Chaplain 6sheet is found in a barn, I wouldn't be surprised if amongst MoPo members there are some items that are extremely rare or have never been inventoried by an auction house, so "they don't exist".

Oops, my bad. However, I think those $.25 prices were for the Saturday matinee, not the evening performance. On Thu, 8 Mar 2012 08:34:09 -0800, Phillip W.

About a 10X increase "You could say that admission price is a bargain these days, as it should be $25 to follow the trends." Shouldn't it be about $2.50 with that reference point?

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
Ah nostalgia. It ain't what it used to be. Average income in 1955: $4800. Average income last year $46000. Average cost of movie ticket in 1955: $.25 2010: $14 Cost of popcorn in 1955: $.10 in 2010: $8-10 Kind of looks like it tracks pretty well. You could say that admission price is a bargain these days, as it should be $25 to follow the trends. -Jay On Wed, 7 Mar 2012 21:40:33 -0800, Joseph Bonelli wrote: When I was going to movies as a kid under 12 (I turned that in 1955), I went to the two first-run theatres in town and paid 25 cents for admission. At the second-run theate that played double features and had our Saturday kiddie matinee it was 10 cents for the movie, 10 cents for the popcorn and 5 cents for a coke. With the same 5 cents for bus fare each way, I could spend Saturday at the movies for a total of 35 cents!!! And believe me, those Roy Rogers and Jungle Jim movies were worth it! Along with the cartoon, the obligatory serial (everything from Rocket Man to Clyde Beatty), the occasional short, previews (loved 'em!) and even the newsreel. Were those better days at the movies Well, I think so. No stereo, special effects and still boisterous kids- but NO flashing lights and silly ring-tones from the then unheard-of cell phones. But when CinemaScope came along, I became a grown-up moviegoer. Those were indeed the days! Joe B PS- The fresh-popped popcorn was sooo much better!! Just the smell could draw you in from a block away.

Re: [MOPO] Are "boosted" images clever marketing or outright deception?
I posted on APF on this, that the boosting isn¹t necessarily intentional. If you take Bruce¹s or Rich¹s photos and open them in Microsoft picture manager or iPhoto on the Mac, select edit and then do autocorrect, you will end up with an image with higher saturation and increased contrast. Obviously both Microsoft and Apple believe that an accurate image is somewhat hotter than an ANSI corrected image. Further, your perception of the true appearance is influenced by a lot of factors, not the least of which is the light you are viewing it under. Bright light, dim light, incandescent, CFL, tube flourescent, daylight¹ flourescent, LED. They are all going to make the picture pop¹ to varying extents. I am not sure I am willing to accuse Heritage of making the images too vivid when it could simply be that they use the picture editor defaults for corrections.

Nope, that won't cut it either, especially when you take out my furniture and electronics. I'd be hosed as well. My condolances, and I hope you can arrange at least a partial return.

Re: [MOPO] FA-100% Guaranteed Original 14x36 Insert for the 1982 film BLADE RUNNER
No offense, Nick, but how do I verify from the info given? This is a known minty white insert and real ones are very uncommon. Your description is generic for all your listings and doesn't even mention inserts. The image is small and you don't show the back where we might be able to determine paper quality. Why would I risk a bid? Jay Nemeth-Johhannes On Fri, 21 Oct 2011 06:36:24 -0700, nick darard wrote: http://www.ebay.com/sch/010420/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=200&_sop=3&_rdc=1 NOT A REPLICANT.

Re: [MOPO] Movie poster printing
How big is a "small run"? If it is just a couple of posters, yoiur best bet might be to find a copy house with a large color inkjet printer. D size or larger. Give them the highest possible resulution image file and have them print on photo paper. Higher printing costs, but no setup charges.
