Re: [MOPO] RIP Donald Sutherland

[Kirby McDaniel]

Ron et al:

The negatives were stolen from Technicolor and ransomed.  The ransom was paid 
and the negatives were returned.  (I don't think it was the entire negatives, 
but a substantial amount of footage).

Re: [MOPO] Megalopolis opens Sept 27 / Lionsgate

[Kirby McDaniel]

I'll see that in IMAX - for sure.

Oh, by the way, I saw Anthony Mann's THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE in 1964 in 
70mm, and I wasn't disappointed! The one epic roadshow film that has never 
gotten the Blu-Ray restoration treatment it deserves.  Largely trashed when it 
was released by critics who were tired of BIG, the film was Ridley Scott's 
blueprint for GLADIATOR.  Has one of the best Tiomkin scores, and some great 
Alec Guinness scenes.  Loren was gorgeous.  I once had lunch with Anthony 
Quayle and we talked all about it.  Ha!

I saw OPPENHEIMER in IMAX 70mm film last year (in Dallas) and -- I'll use a 
word that I almost never use -- that was A W E S O M E.

[MOPO] FLASH GORDON reissue one sheet

We have one example (albeit trimmed borders) of the reissue one sheet for
FLASH GORDON.  Apparently, much scarcer than the 1936 one-sheet.

Re: [MOPO] [MOPO] UV Light

[Kirby McDaniel]

Paul,

Hello and Happy Holidays.  I'd have to echo what Helmut has said in that I 
couldn't say that all of them had this.  I believe that we have a few that do, 
but I'd have to look.  I think if you saw one, you'd have no trouble 
identifying it as having been printed with DayGlo inks.  DayGlo has a website, 
FYI.

Re: [MOPO] What was the most grueling high rated movie you have watched?

[Kirby McDaniel]

"Christ, I'm turning into a curmudgeon."

We can see that, Greg.  Try the mescaline again.  And watch HAREM SCARUM while 
high.  You'll see how good it really is.  I once watched Ken Russell's THE 
DEVILS while high on lsd (I think), and that is a form of exotic self-abuse I 
would not recommend to anyone.

Heidi et Mopolistas,

The art film is a creation of SATAN. Cinema should not stretch your imagination 
too much lest is crack in the winds that blow.  These kinds of movies just 
confuse you>  Stick to movies like APACHE DRUMS, the first movie I ever saw.  
It's a real horrorshow.  I was removed from the Lakewood Theater in Dallas, 
Texas crying my eyes out, age 6 or something. Or sex education films like

Re: [MOPO] What was the most grueling high rated movie you have watched?

[Kirby McDaniel]

The MOST disturbing movie I ever saw was HAREM SCARUM.  I kept twisting in my 
seat, longing to get out of the theater, and believe me, there was nowhere to 
go when I got out of the theater.  The film was so excruciatingly monotonous 
that I was HORRIFIED.  Plus the songs that poor Elvis was REQUIRED to sing were 
beyond bad.  I could have written better songs myself, and I have never written 
even one song.  But I'm sure I could have.  Plus I was on a BLIND date, and I 
was in a deep state of REGRET.

THE SHINING has nothing on this film.  It is rumored to have killed EP.

Re: [MOPO] Now THIS is a catalog!

[Kirby McDaniel]

An absolutely lovely catalog.  I got mine in a priority mail box, the catalog 
was shrink-wrapped, very high quality printing and binding.  Congratulations to 
Grey and to the designers who worked on this.  Interestingly, there are some 
pages which delineate poster sizes by country.  This is very well done, and 
gives a better overview of poster options than in any catalog I've seen.

In a word, QUALITY.

Re: [MOPO] Leader Press Posters

[Kirby McDaniel]

Good information.  As to whether they retain value, I think that would depend 
on the poster.  As you might surmise, some are rather ordinary, if not 
uninspired, and others are quite wonderful.

Re: [MOPO] [MOPO] Postal Service handling issues

[Kirby McDaniel]

Todd,

That is correct.  Now the program is called Ebay International Shipping.  Folks 
moan about Ebay, or fleabay if you will, but their International shipping 
program is a plus for sellers.  People who know me know that for years I would 
only buy on Ebay.  But since 2015, I have been selling there also.  It has its 
ups and downs, but then nothing is perfect, is it?  The International Shipping 
Program center is in Illinois.  Whether Ebay Global Shipping will operate in 
parallel with International Shipping ?? ... I'm not sure.

Re: [MOPO] Paying global carriers for "insurance" that's worthless

[Kirby McDaniel]

We are not going to send anything valued at over $200 without insurance.  It's 
a policy that has worked well for us over the years.

Re: [MOPO] Decor?

And that consideration may be thematic (like westerns in a wood paneled game 
room with rodeo decor) or it might be "I need something in a lime green."   

It's true.

[Kirby McDaniel]

I take your point.  Having said that, sun-faded or something else, I would not 
want this poster, either personally or for inventory, because it's not within 
the range that was intended.  Not for $9000 +, not for $500.

Speaking to that: the intent of Saul Bass with regard to designing the one 
sheet for VERTIGO was to specify a background color of a certain "shade", if 
you will, of orange.  I have always called it vermillion.  Yet we have seen, as 
has been pointed out that there are (almost) deep red variants of the poster as 
well as posters that are light orange.  Most are in the range that was 
intended.  It is safe to say that most have had some color shift since the day 
they were printed sixty-five years ago.  So, my question is: is this poster 
sun-faded, or is it merely in the range of "lighter".  Most of the posters that 
I have seen which are significantly sun-faded have some textural degradation of 
the paper itself.

I have heard people lionize a deep red variant for the simple reason that it 
would "work better" with their decor.  I kid you NOT.

Re: [MOPO] Oscar reminisce and some fun things

[Kirby McDaniel]

Hi, David,


Hi, David and Mopolistas:

I saw your assessment of the BP Oscar nominations on some Facebook Page or 
another, and your assessment of THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN is as wet as the 
state of California!  It's my fave of pictures that I've seen - TOP GUN, 
WESTERN FRONT (brilliant, and a dark horse), TAR (yes, I know it has an 
accent~)(brilliant) and EVERYTHING ANYWHERE ALL THE TIME SIMULTANEOUSLY, 
SYNCRONOUSLY INTERMINABLY ALL AT FUCKING ONCE! (I did sorta like it and I want 
one of those rotating donuts).  But not AVATAR.  Cameron is looking at the 
other nominees and thinking to himself "I'm still the King of the World."

INISHERIN is the blackest of black comedies, beautifully photographed.  Colin 
Ferrell should win the Oscar, but probably won't. (Austin Butler, fine in his 
role, is far too pretty for his own good, and Kurt Russell was a better Elvis.) 
 Brendan Gleason's role is NOT a supporting role, and Barry Keoghan 
performance, along with Jamie Lee Curtis, gets the Kirby McDaniel Award for 
Performance of the Year.  And that's a coveted award that doesn't get given out 
willy-nilly.  

I always watch the Oscars, and I will this year too.  I'm still heartbroken 
that CLEOPATRA didn't win Best Picture, but I love TOM JONES.  So there.

One final note on the Oscars: they all WANT ONE.

Not to my knowledge, Alan.

I'd love to be able to just attach one, but MOPO is very  1995.  !!  And maybe 
that's a good thing.  David Kusumoto might know.  He's my GOTO for all things 
complicated!

Re: [MOPO] eBay seller feedback...

I noticed they have this poster for CHAIN LIGHTNING (which is misspelled as 
CHANE), an Italian 39x55.  I own the original art, signed by Capitani, and I 
will sell it for less than what they ostensibly want for the poster.

[MOPO] TREASURE OR TRAGEDY

[Kirby McDaniel]

Mopolistas: <https://imgur.com/uADp2Ws>

This is an Italian 79x55 (release 1949 in Italy) with art by Holzer.  The
2f has been seen a couple of times at auction, but not the 79x55.  It's
really quite nice, BUT it has tape - a LOT of it - on the verso.

I will sell this for $50 + ship (fedex for overseas) - NO RETURNS.  Could
this be restored?  The tape is *masking tape.*

Re: [MOPO] Ebay's New Update

[Kirby McDaniel]

Jeff,
FYI.  We use a hacksaw now, to cut the tubes down to 29 to 29.5 inches.  The 
fee is then 4.00 or sometimes they do not charge you at all.  It's a hassle, 
but it saves money and takes about a minute.  We have been in touch with Yazoo 
Tubes, urging them to make a 29 inch tube.  We'll see.

Re: [MOPO] TCM and Movie Memorabilia

[Kirby McDaniel]

In one of the early TCM/Bonham's auctions I consigned some good posters.  The 
lots performed poorly, and some were not sold at all.  Perhaps this was because 
Bonham's chose to hold the auction on a Monday morning.  I failed to notice the 
auction date and TIME particularly, and that was on me.  But who does that?

[MOPO] SIX SHEET SHIPPING

[Kirby McDaniel]

Mopolistas:

I checked with my longtime clerk at the Post Office, and he assures me that the 
Post Office still accepts packages up to 108 inches in total LENGTH, WIDTH and 
GIRTH.

I'd check your sources if you have heard other than this.

And you are free to correct me if I'm wrong.

It's been a while since we shipped a linenbacked six sheet vis USPS.  We mostly 
use FedEx for that now.

Re: [MOPO] Silent hills, please

[Kirby McDaniel]

I'm sick of superheroes.  Too many, too much! Can't we just get an actual hero 
or heroine or a heroic non-binary type?  Please.  However, I never want to see 
HAREM SCARUM ever again.  I had a blind date with a plain girl, had to drive 20 
miles to see this drivel, and then the movie was moronic.  I was trapped!  I 
would rather watch THE SOUND OF MUSIC run backwards three times than to ever 
have to see HAREM SCARUM again.  So don't ask me to.  I mean, I love Elvis, but 
NO.

I don't care for dystopian.  Give me a good epic, a mystery, riveting drama, or

[MOPO] NAISSANCE DE JESUS 55x87.5 (1914) At Heritage Sunday 11/21

[Kirby McDaniel]

Mopolistas:

Heritage is auctioning this poster, which I consigned to them, next Sunday
at their signature auction.  NOV 21  This is a French Grande, and, it is,
from the perspective
of the postermaker's art, quite stunning.  The range of color and detail is
impressive. One of the best film posters I have ever seen. A high-res image
of the poster is available at this URL:

HI-RES IMAGE



Biographical films about Jesus Christ were not uncommon at the inception of
cinema.  Several were made in different countries, some as short films and
some longer.  In 1913 Pathe Brothers began to film one of the most
elaborate of these films.  The film was entitled LA VIE DE NOTRE SEIGNEUR
JESUS CHRIST (1914).  It was filmed in four separate segments, which were
exhibited individually and possibly together as one film.  The four
segments were entitled NAISSANCE DE JESUS ("The Birth of Jesus"), ENFANCE
DE JESUS ("Jesus' Childhood), VIE PUBLIQUE ET MIRACLES ("Public LIfe and
Miracles"), and PASSION ET MORT DE JESUS (The Passion and Death of
Jesus").  This poster, which dates  from the first release of the film in
France, measures 55x85 inches.  The poster was published in Paris and the
printer is Atelier Faria, 6 Rue Steinkerque, Paris.  A notation at the
lower left reads "IMP des ETABts PATHE FRERES 14. Rue FAVART PARIS".  This
beautiful poster is one of the best French posters from the early cinema
that I have seen.  Every aspect of the nativity is dramatized:  the angels,
the shepherds, the manger, the animals, the star, the Magi.  The infant
Jesus, Mary and Joseph are bathed in golden light that shines mysteriously
from within the manger.  The poster has been cleaned and linen-backed with
minor touch up.  The film was distributed in the United States, both by
Pathe and by Eclectic Film Company.  The U.S. title of the film is THE LIFE
OF OUR SAVIOUR or THE PASSION PLAY and the year of import is 1914.

[MOPO] HOLLYWOOD CAVALCADE ITALIAN 79X55 WITH ART BY SIMBARI

[Kirby McDaniel]

MOPOlistas:

I have consigned this poster to Heritage.  I will be sold this Sunday,
October 31 at auction.  It's really quite wonderful, and suited for the
movie-obsessive' home theater.  Have a happy Halloween, you!  Forget the
pumpkin; get this poster. Italian four-sheet for the 20th Century Fox drama
HOLLYWOOD CAVALCADE (1939) starring Alice Faye as a young actress trying to
make it in movies just as the films are switching from silent to sound.
Incredible art by Simbar.  A strip of film has various film genres in each
frame: epic, comedy, romance and musical.  Ameche is shown behind the
camera.  Art of Alice Faye in a bathing suit.  And Chester Conklin as a
western sheriff.  This rare poster is large format - 79 x 55 inches - and
it is printed on two separate panels.

Trick or treat?

My great friend, pal, and colleague Channing Thomson passed away peacefully in 
his sleep on October 16, in San Francisco.  We both made our living selling 
posters, we both loved movies, we both loved to talk politics, and we both 
loved to observe the crazy world of movie posters and the people who collect 
them.  Channing was very smart, a world-class observer.  We had some great 
trips together: New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Yosemite, Arizona.  If you 
can travel with someone, you know you love them.

Channing is survived by three siblings.

This one hurts.  Channing will be missed.

Re: [MOPO] ebay Payments + MORE

[Kirby McDaniel]

Ebay has a spotted history, for sure. But they have a wide reach and they are a 
good pathway to selling lesser posters.  I like the managed payments better 
than what went before.  The accounting is simpler, for sure.

The credit card companies, on the other hand, are now keeping their fees for 
RETURNED sales.  They did not do this at one time, but about a year ago they 
started.  And
this bleeds into all processors, too.  (Ebay returns the final value fees which 
include their commission for finding a buyer and all other charges and costs.)

Paypal, for example.  Let's say one sells a $2000 poster via paypal, that the 
buyer paid for with a credit card.  And then the poster is returned.  Let's say 
your merchant fee for credit cards is 2.5%.  VISA / MASTERCARD keeps $50.  
Let's say your cost for the poster was $1000.  After this, it is effectively 
$1050.

American Express also does this, whether you are a direct AMEX customers or 
whether you process their cards through a third party (like Paypal).

This happened to me with a $4500 poster. ($94.50)  I was livid.  I managed to 
talk paypal into refunding the money, but they told me in no uncertain terms 
that if it happened again they were keeping the money.

I was angry with Paypal, and so I went to Chase (my bank) to set up alternate 
credit card processing.  Chase does it too.  But the Chase employee told me, 
it's not
Chase that is doing this, it's the credit card companies.  A representative at 
AMEX claims that they have always done this, but I am skeptical.  With 
VISA/MASTERCARD this practice went into effect over a year ago.  Obviously, 
with a $50. item, this is no biggie to sellers, but there is NO CAP on this 
practice.

I am surprised that I have not heard more from sellers about this.  

In my view, this is almost theft.

But it's legal, because sellers agree to it in their credit card processing 
agreements, which I doubt that most sellers even read.

It's not like VISA/MASTERCARD doesn't make TRILLIONS already.

Really, this makes Ebay's stuff look like nothing.

I am not sure if this is the same in every country, but it is in the U.S.

IF ANYONE HAS DIFFERENT INFORMATION THAN THIS ABOUT THIS SUBJECT, I'D LOVE TO 
HEAR ABOUT IT.

Re: [MOPO] Collector's Beware

[Kirby McDaniel]

The Kerry Haggard frauds were artful.  I spent $12,000 on one, and was 
fortunate to have purchased it from someone who was concerned for his own 
reputation. alerted me to the fraud, and returned my money. So it is not at all 
unusual that folks would have been taken in by them.
These are not in that class, but just as hurtful if one turns loose his cash 
for them.

And, by the way, Jim Gresham is another mensch in this hobby.

Thanks, Bruce.  And thanks to Bruce Hershenson and to Grey Smith and to all of 
the members of the collecting community who

their respective businesses.  I had a chance to look at some images

I hope you are feeling better soon, and that you are prepared to meet your
