My first: 2 lobby cards: from Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Mole People, bought from Texas dealer Tanner Miles via his mail order catalogue circa 1974. I still remember opening the package at age 14, and those 2 lobbies are on the wall of my office as I write this. All of my early posters came from his mail order catalogues. Them was the days! 2 days ago I opened a package to find my newest poster. It had been in a frame for years. And on the back of the card, a blast from the past: 2 ink-stamps from its previous owners: Tanner Miles and Forrest J. Ackerman. --Tom Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content. -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: [MOPO] papal ---------payment pending!!!
Strange.. Im a verified member, have a good ranking (or whatever paypal calls it) and sometimes with certain sellers, its the ONLY form of payment that I can choose. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Natalie, P2P doesn't ring a bell... is that service I'm not familiar with or does is just refer to the standard wire-transfer process? I used to use wire transfers, but I don't anymore because they have become very expensive and also because it means giving the other party your bank routing number and checking account number. Unfortunately, these days, that is all someone needs to go online and sign up for electronic e-check type charges -- and have them all be deducted from your checking account! So, what is this P2P you speak of? --JR - Original Message - From: Natalie To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 1:21 Subject: Re: [MOPO] papal -payment pending!!!

Re: [MOPO] Long Time Collector - Louis Leithold
I had a couple of communications with him and I found him a valuable resource and a wonderful person. He will be missed greatly, not only by MOPO, but by the collecting community. Mark Price [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the end... my only friend the end. -Original Message- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Taylor Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2005 9:19 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] Long Time Collector - Louis Leithold MOPOers know me as a seldom poster...usually with WTB posts. I rarely comment on people in this hobby, but I have to comment about the passing of Louis. This saddens me deeply. In a way, I don't fully understand why. We only corresponded or spoke a dozen or so times during my 12-15 years of collecting. We weren't particularly close, but I think that may be why I feel such a loss. Louis seemed to make every conversation about posters feel like an important one. He seemed to really care about the posters we discussed...and that they were posters I cared about. In my dealings with him, he was simply a very nice man and true gentleman in the hobby. (And we all know there are some in this hobby who may not be classified as a gentleman after their passing.) I will miss Louis and, more importantly, I think our hobby will miss Louis.

I just wanted to say that he was a real nice guy who really, really loved posters. He had quite a collection and was kind enough to show me his walls. Of which there were plenty with a plethora of posters. It was an amazing site to behold. All genres and sizes. He was especially proud of the beauty they offered. He was a true gent as far as I could tell and will be sorely missed.

It was later revised to be 3 films... when it and its merchandising component went ballisticand then later revised to 9 films and then later revised again down to 6 films when either ideas were in short supply or the merchandising was providing a law of diminishing returns. Phil Er, no. Star Wars *did* originally come up because George couldn't get the rights/permission to do Flash Gordon. He had a three-picture deal at Universal -- the first of which was American Grafitti -- and wanted Flash Gordon to be the second but the studio wasn't interested. They also passed on Star Wars, which George offered them first (albeit with a much earlier and different draft of the script than was ultimately used to shoot the film). The expectation held by George and everyone else was that he'd make only the one film but he did have an idea for not one, three, six, or nine films but for twelve; four three-picture arcs (or trilogies). The cumulative films would effectively be the story of R2-D2 and C-3PO, the only characters who would be in all twelve films. Within a couple years, George revised history to say that the Star Wars saga was always to be just nine films (three trilogies) and never twelve. After Raiders of the Lost Ark, he started saying that people had confused the three proposed Indiana Jones films as being part of it, which is where twelve came from. Of course, when we made Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark wasn't on the horizon and it wasn't contemplated, even when it was, that it would be a trilogy (as an aside, once it was decided that there would be sequels, the idea was that they'd all be called Raiders of the _ with the blank changing each time but marketing heads decided that calling them Indiana Jones and the _ made better business sense because you can't trademark the word raiders). While we were doing post on The Empire Strikes Back, George told me he intended to do the third and-as-yet untitled film in that trilogy but that after that was done; he wasn't going to do anymore Star Wars films. He was going to retire to the ranch and only make experimental and art films. For that reason, a lot of what was to be in the third film got cut or truncated (Boba Fett was to be a major character in it; that's why he was introduced in the second film) and things intended to happen in the third (and by then final) trilogy got moved into Revenge (later Return) of the Jedi. For example, the death of Darth Vader was not to have been in Jedi originally. That was for a later film but got moved forward. Eventually, of course, George decided to make the first trilogy. But he says he won't be making the third. Ten years ago, I would have bet he wouldn't make the first so you never know. (By the way, before Empire came out, I made a suggestion to George and Gary Kurtz -- producer of the first two films -- as to what we should call the third film. My suggestion: Triumph of the Whills*. They both cracked up then looked at me and said no. Oh, well. I'm immortalized in other parts of the films, though few will ever know.) Craig.
