Fellow MoPo’ers:



Time is moving way too fast….MoPo marks its 29th birthday today. That’s amazing 
longevity for an Internet group.



February 24, 1995 was the day of the first official MoPo post via the American 
University listserv.



As is my custom, here’s my annual recognition of those 11 first-day MoPo 
members: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai 
Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555), 
Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, and myself. Michael, Rob and Evan are 
still with the group.



Our subscriber numbers aren’t what they once were, but I’ll take quality over 
quantity any day. ??



Thanks again to American University for keeping the listserv up and running and 
thanks to all of you for being here.

Re: [MOPO] Grading VHS Tapes

[Michael Greenwood]

Hi Folks

I don't think this is a strictly new trend either as I met a guy from Rochester 
while attending a Toronto concert around 2016 and he and his companion were 
avid collectors of VHS tapes back then and I was surprised at some prices he 
quoted at that time. That was the first time I had heard of it. He was also 
pretty crazy for movie posters but there was a growing cult of collectors for 
this stuff even ten years ago.

belonged to my parents. Plus boxes of home-recorded VHS tapes dating back to 
the very early 1980’s. And let’s not even mention the boxes of Laserdiscs and

I can’t imagine why anyone would want old lousy picture quality VHS tapes. Even

posters are static in value, or worse, declining. it's a small hobby, younger 
people don't really care, and much of what more modern audiences want in 
posters are too cheap to bother with.

on the other hand, vhs & video games are ascendant & the auctions beat poster 
auction totals hands-down.

it's purely a money equation, that posters are dying, and vhs are gaining

I missed a chance at the nice one sheet that Bruce just auctioned as I was not

a US one sheet or, possibly, a half sheet. Unbacked, unrestored and condition 
is important. If you have any other paper that features gorillas and girls, you

I think this discussion, particularly Bruce's contribution, raises an 
interesting question about the purpose of films. Are they simply to entertain, 
or can some be more challenging art? I haven't seen Jeanne Dielman etc., but 
from what I read it is supposed to be boring and gruelling even, as it reflects 
the eponymous protagonist's life. Certainly there may be a 'woke' element to 
the critics' choice of best film ever, but that does not necessarily detract 
from its worth as an artistic endeavour.

I think I have you all topped! In the 1970s I was a major international film 
fan, and I traveled far and wide to see films that would never play where I 
lived (no video yet, of course). An example is that in 1981 or so I traveled to 
Los Angeles for a day and a night to see the restored 1927 Napoleon with a full 
orchestra (conducted by Coppola's father) and it was one of the best 
experiences of my life.

So in 1983 a theater in Philadephia announced that they would show the uncut 3 
hour 22 minute Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles I had read 
about this movie, and it sounded terrible, but some critics had highly praised 
it, so I convinced a fellow film buff to go with me.

"Grueling" is a good word to describe watching, but a better one would be 
"excrutiating". But my friend kept saying, "Surely it will get more 
interesting", so we stayed to the end, but it never did. If I was told I had  3 
hours and 22 minutes left to live, I would choose to re-watch this movie, 
because then it would feel like years had gone by!

Re: [MOPO] Heritage fees

[Michael Greenwood]

I am not going to list any titles but I can say that certain genres do seem to 
be a bit more popular and pulling bigger prices in the twenty-five or so years 
I've been paying attention. I collect less mainstream and more 
cult/art/(s)exploitation paper and I think there is some truth to a new batch 
of younger collectors arriving in that field for sure. Maybe not young, but new 
anyway. Either that or I have become much cheaper with age because there are 
some deep pockets out there bidding on my beloved sleaze paper. I think the 
mainstream stuff is over-represented and stagnant for sure and older 
genres/stars that were popular have faded as collectors have aged. Younger fans 
aren't as enthusiastic about expensive Forbidden Planet posters but they are 
tending to make John Holmes titles get away from me in price. That's what I'm 
seeing from my little window on the scene.

I think it is a case of collectors tastes changing and evolving over the years. 
There are plenty of examples of posters that have increased massively in value 
over the last 15 years or so. However, some of the posters that were considered 
high value years ago have decreased in value because the reality is that some 
of the younger collectors have no interest in them. I think this trend will 
continue.

a poster that sold for $5000 in 2010 and still sells for $5000 today is a

a poster is the same or less.

Rich,



every major auctions tends to have it's number of 'freaks', posters that sell 
way above their market value. Problem is, with the massive fees you actually 
NEED at least a couple of those to make it worth your while.



It's been a long time since I have been selling at auction, but looking back, I 
mostly had mixed results. One example: I sold several copies of the large 
Italian LA DOLCE VITA dancer style over the years directly. Heritage has 
auctioned this for around $48,000 once, which (give or take) should've left 
about $30,000 in the consignor's pocket. I sold a couple of top condition ones 
directly in the same ballpark. On the other end, they also auctioned this 
poster for about $18,000, so the consignor probably got about $12,000. I got a 
good deal more than that for the worst condition copy I ever had. I still have 
one in stock, and since I'm in no desperate need for money right now, I prefer 
to keep it around for at least another while.



That said, I have recently sent a number of super-rare but also super-obscure 
early posters to Bruce, but this is all material that needs a huge audience. As 
always, some will fail, some should do great and in the end I'm sure it will be 
worth the effort.



Just my two cents.



Helmut



Here's what I say about Heritage:

when I can get the prices they get, which are in general - better than what can 
be achieved by myself, or in ANY other auction house in the USA - then I will 
stop sending them posters to sell for me.

There's no chance that another US auction would have gotten $12,000.00 for a 
1949 international style Casablanca one sheet, and the proof is the $106 that 
one auctioneer got for the same poster 3 weeks later. Considering I had it for 
sale for $2000, I don't care if HA took 1/3 of the result.

HA under Grey's tenure also got me $1680 for a Pulp Fiction regular style one 
sheet, $600 for a 1989 Batman one sheet or a variety of other incredible

Poster collecting has changed dramatically over the past 27 years. While the

53rd and final show in October, but will morph into the Columbus Moving Picture 
Show this May “under new management” as they say. Buying movie memorabilia 
changed dramatically, too. No more waiting for those massive (sometimes 
handwritten) lists of available items in MCW ads or the next Hershenson sale 
flyer with its nail-biting ordering procedure—will my call get through before 
what I want is sold? And how many “other” poster discussion groups have come 
and gone? Remember Movie Poster Forum, Movie Poster Chat or Movie Poster Talk? 
And for you long-time MoPo’ers who could forget the notorious Style-B?  All

The old MoPo FAQ, composed in the early days of our group, is now just an

[MOPO] international postal money order

[Michael Greenwood]

Hello All

I was just wondering how these work on the other end, specifically the US. I 
haven't sent one in forever but sent a lot of them back in my early collecting 
days before Paypal made them virtually pointless and they seemed to work like a 
charm with no complaints received. Anyway, I am considering sending a couple in 
the near future and I was curious how they work as one person I asked about it 
said they were fine as long as they could cash them at a Bank of America, just 
like a regular US check. Is that how it works once the money order is over the 
border and in the U.S.A.? Is it virtually painless and fee free down there?

Thanks and all the best to all in 2022!

Re: [MOPO] Increase in minimum buyer's premium at HA

[Michael Greenwood]

Heritage is trash. I was cancelled by them after years of membership because 
they kept screwing up my shipments and then sending me invoices for their 
mistakes. At first, they did take responsibility but then I guess the bottom 
line won out and just as Helmut so astutely puts it, they chose the money over 
honouring their members and admitting their mistakes. This sneak reminds me of 
one other sneak they pulled when they changed the shipping for International 
folks and would only hold six paid invoices and then ship and didn't tell 
anybody so, again, multiple shipping invoices started flooding my inbox. The 
bidder needs to know these things because some buyers are grabbing lower cost 
items specifically because they can budget it through combined shipping 
arrangements.

I think this raise in premiums would have ended a good chunk of my bidding 
there anyway. I hope all the staff that had to constantly deal as middle-people 
and hear my repeated complaints are getting a raise but I highly doubt it.

covering costs is not the point here: Heritage is a CORPORATION. Just like any

their fees whenever they feel they can get away with it.

Ebay is the exact same thing: First, they were constantly raising their final

ebay, and they are course charging for this 'service' as well.

I just noticed that HA.com has increased the minimum BP to $29.

Is this going to affect your bidding strategy at that site? Just wondering.

Re: [MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] I just said good-bye to my ebay store

[Michael Greenwood]

My feeling exactly. I can't see why they'd want the bother of all that 
processing but maybe that's the justification for extra costs. I understand 
their desire to chip a few more chunks of the total tally of each sold item but 
my cynical assumption is they charge the taxes, keep them and then middleman 
the package to the destination with avoidance of excise. But who knows?

Kirby,

Germany only charges an import tax for movie posters, but no custom duties. 
Since I run a business, those import charges are fully refundable for me.

Yet, when you ship through ebay‘s GSP, I pay those duties to Pitney Bowes and 
they are not refundable to me. For all I know, they simply vanish. In fact, I 
have always wondered where that money is ending up. I very much doubt that the 
German government ever sees any of it.

I don‘t know what legal loophole ebay and their partners have found here, but 
the whole thing feels like a major scam to me.

We use the Ebay Global Shipping program, and it is very easy for sellers.  Plus 
my inventory travels insured, so everyone's money is protected.  Plus I don't 
have to fill out a lot of customs forms.  Ebay Global Shipping is run by Pitney 
Bowes for Ebay, and yes, it is more expensive.  Yes, it takes some time.  When 
shipping internationally becomes easier, we will consider using the Post Office 
here.  Meanwhile, in the U.S. the Trump administration wants to abolish the 
Post Office.
This is the TRUTH.

Secondly, almost all governments add duties to purchases of old movie posters.  
Many buyers want to buy a poster for $150, and have ME tell the authorities 
that they bought it for $20.  These buyers may not know this, or appreciate it, 
but this puts both the seller and the buyer at risk for significant fines.

It's dishonest, and I won't do it.

International buyers can buy from our own website, but insurance is limited.   
Buyers may SAY that it OK for posters to travel entirely at their own risk, but 
when
something actually gets lost, it's a different story.

Re: [MOPO] I just said good-bye to my ebay store

[Michael Greenwood]

I want to make clear that I don't blame sellers for using ebay as it obviously 
has its advantages as far as reaching customers and doubly so for the little 
guy out there. I'm just listing grievances I have against ebay greed practices, 
as normal, and the global shipping is certainly one of the worst money grabs 
they've implemented. My recent experiences (and I understand they're 
exacerbated by the pandemic) are certainly making me lean towards siding with 
Tommy here. Shipping from the US is nearly finished for me (especially in the 
weightier record collecting field) in the altogether but definitely paying for 
it through ebay's global shipping is a mistake I am soon going to stop making! 
I'm happy to see a few oldtimers still slinging paper there and shipping as 
normal. And I don't blame seller like Kirby from using an easier system either. 
But sellers should always lie about value...it just makes it more fun for 
everybody!

Take care,

Re: [MOPO] Has anyone ever wonder this...?

[Michael Greenwood]

I also tend to remember reading a lot of stuff and interviews with American 
original, filmmaker Kenneth Anger and he always talks about his vast collection 
of Golden era Hollywood stuff. I think his grandmother was involved in costumes 
or something in very early cinema and since he is in his 80s now and a lifelong 
movie nut, I would imagine he has a pretty impressive collection of stuff. Or 
maybe not, he's a bit of character...maybe he just boasts! Either way, I'd love 
to know more about what he has stashed away through the years.

I have one Anger piece in my collection that I bought on ebay, way back, simply 
because I thought it was funny AND poster related. It's a letter he wrote (on 
Anger stationary!) to Forrest Ackerman (I think his greeting calls him 4E) and 
it's about how he has a poster getting restored and he's having trouble getting 
it back from the person and it's implied that maybe this person won't give it 
back unless someone of 4E's exalted reputation can intercede on Anger's behalf? 
Anyway, anything I've read about him makes him out to be the prickly one but, 
who knows? He's certainly made some tremendous films and is an interesting dude.

Hello Scott,

It's a real privilege to be a member of MoPo and while I haven't been here from 
the beginning it certainly feels like it sometimes. This place continues to be 
a unique resource of expertise and (mostly) civility for all things movie 
poster related and we all know it's to you we owe our thanks for a steady hand 
on the tiller.

I raise a virtual glass to you, AU and all of the members of MoPo. Truly, 
here's to the next 25 years.

Who would have thought MoPo would still be around 25 years after that first 
listserv message was sent on February 24, 1995…be here we are

MoPo really started in 1994 when a small group of movie memorabilia collectors 
found each other on Usenet (you youngsters may have to Google that) and began 
CC’ing each other on e-mails discussing the hobby. It was a primitive mailing 
list, but it worked. Then in early 1995 as our distribution list grew, American 
University student Adam Ehrlich discovered his school allowed students to 
set-up a listserv discussion group—for free–and MoPo was officially launched. 
It’s interesting that once a list begins, as long as it stays active and has a 
listowner (that would be ME!) AU just lets it chug along even after a student 
graduates. Even more amazing is that AU still maintains their listserv system 
at all. But a big thank you is in order to American U for giving MoPo a home 
for all these years.

As is my annual tradition, I salute the original 11 who were here 25 years ago 
today: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai 
Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555), 
Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (sadly we lost Cindy in 2008, but her husband Jay is 
still a MoPo member), myself, and of course, (former) AU student Adam Ehrlich. 
I’m happy to report that in addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still 
with us 25 years later!

It seems unreal that 25 years have passed since MoPo began…time does really fly 
if you’ll pardon the cliché. I was an avid collector back at the beginning, but 
as the years have passed (along with my hair line), I find myself content with 
my collection as it is and have begun thinking about what I’m going to do with 
all these beautiful images that are now living in storage boxes. But every day 
I do enjoy looking at my favorites that have been carefully framed and hang on 
the walls and they will probably be the last to go should I ever decide to 
liquidate. (I have a feeling I’ll be liquidated before those cherished gems 
are!)

My thanks to all MoPo’ers, past and present, for a wonderful 25 years. Happy 
Silver Anniversary MoPo!

[MOPO] Heritage changes and International buyers

[Michael Greenwood]

Hello All

I am never surprised at the greed that's out there but Heritage does keep a 
pretty admirable pace in this ever wonderful state of late-capitalism. Maybe 
they hid this announcement in an update email that nobody reads or something 
but all of a sudden I cannot pay my poster invoice through Paypal. I don't use 
credit cards for online payments after being stung once so now I'm seemingly in 
quite a predicament. Oh, wait, they're also charging a 2.3% processing fee on 
the Visa/Mastercard use so I'd be extra insulted if I was going to choose that 
anyway. Soon I expect them to just list available titles of interest in text 
and propose we will fly down on our dime (small percentage of 
flight/accomodation fees to them for processing, naturally) to photograph and 
do a condition report for them.

I've talked to client services twice.The first rep said she thought my best bet 
was doing a debit card payment but my bank seems to feel that would mean 
setting up a separate account and, frankly, I don't want the hassle. Then the 
second rep said to wire the funds so I am just waiting for my bank rep to get 
back to me about the reality of that option and whether there are fees on my 
end. Does anybody out there have a good, cheap reliable method for this type of 
transaction between the lowly Canadian David versus the Dallas Goliath?

Any help would be appreciated. Next option is divorce from Heritage in totality 
and keep awaiting the revolution.

Thanks,
M

[MOPO] window card sized repros?

[Michael Greenwood]

Hello All


A friend recently bought a couple of movie poster items and was asking me about 
them. I've come across similar things now and then but not often enough to 
recall anything and not lately. There is no history of sales of anything like 
this with Bruce or Heritage. My main question is...what are these? They're 14" 
x 22" and on card stock but they're not authentic studio-related items, as far 
as I can tell. Can anybody shed some light on when these were made and for what 
purpose? Commercial?

[MOPO] erasing unwanted poster bits

[Michael Greenwood]

Hello MoPeople


Is there any consensus or does anybody have any proven tactic for erasing 
pencil, coloured pencil or "grease pencil" markings from posters without 
disturbing the original printed mater underneath? Can this be done? Tell me it 
can and tell me how! Sometimes people like to use these tools to censor certain 
parts of posters that I love and it drives me crazy (I'm all about freedom!) so 
I'd love to know if anybody can guide me or point me to products and/or methods 
that can safely erase this rash and unsightly blight from my beloved and 
innocent paper.


Thanks!

Re: [MOPO] Right price?

[Michael Greenwood]

Hello


I like this scenario and there's usually stuff at play on both sides when this 
occurs. When somebody is selling something, finding out that somebody "wants" 
it adds a little spark of greed to that seller's mind as well and suddenly 
something they would have gladly parted with for $50 last week becomes $125 
this week because everybody knows the dealer is going to make this poster into 
pure gravy! Remember the wise Claude Litton (where is he these days?) who would 
never share what his final Chan needs were as he knew anybody with that poster 
would then feel he was an easy mark for a mark up?! Anyway, the old maxim about 
things selling for what a buyer will pay is the fence-sitting measure here but 
often this scenario pits two people against one another in a much more 
interesting battle of wallets (or stubborn greed) than just an anonymous 
advertised sale and/or auction with a set cost or starting bid.

All been a bit quiet here recently, so here is a hypothetical situation for you 
to consider. A dealer advertises on MOPO that they are looking for a particular 
poster, and you reply that you have one for sale at $500. They respond that 
current auction prices are around $300, so you suggest that they would have to 
wait for an auction then. You point out that they are likely (according to past 
data) to be looking to sell the poster  to their client for around $1500, so 
your price is reasonable. Their answer is that, although they haven't been able 
to find the item elsewhere, as a dealer it makes no sense to 'overpay'. Does 
that in fact make sense, or are they just being greedy?

Re: [MOPO] To back or not to back . . .

[Michael Greenwood]

Hello


No. Why would you want to do that?! If there is extensive physical damage you 
want corrected or you find the fold lines unbearably distracting, then go for 
it. Otherwise, just get them framed for sure. The extra process and cost is 
completely unnecessary and things can go wrong between the poster leaving your 
nice place and coming back, backed by somebody who may not be as skilled as 
advertised or was in a rush and had a bad day. It's a risk and unless you love 
living on the edge, I'd vote against backing time and time again.

hate & nastiness is clothed in many different robes, religion just being one of

and even if there was no religion, people would still find a reason to hate 
each other. That's just the human condition.

I know a guy who hates someone else who outbid them on a piece of art. I mean 
really - hates the guy.

people hate. it's what they do and some people, it's what they do best

Hey All



I'm a bit of a fence sitter here but I'm chiming in because I don't want to be 
cut out of the fun.


I like everybody and it takes a lot to offend me as I have a lot of practice

That said, I would really be tickled pink by a world (and poster list)

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 
masculinity among young black men.  All good selections. - d.

La La Land (14 nominations) was enjoyable and fun, but we all know that any

rock-solid lock to be celebrated whether it was the "best" entry or not.

Timing and luck is everything. If you originally bought the poster 40 years ago 
for $3, as some have, the return beats inflation whether you sold it today or 
15 years ago. In the case of this seller's widow, it looks like many of the 
items were acquired for free, so the return on those in the aggregate ( other 
than her possible discomfort at sharing her living space with a hoarder) was 
probably way beyond her expectations.

Had the widow sold all the posters to the 'friend' for ?1,000 and had he then 
resold them within a year or two, his investment return would have been rather 
fantastic too. All in all as a collector I still feel good about what I have 
done economically in that I have made some money and not lost money. Better for 
me than investing in things I didn't understand or turn things over to a money 
manager, while hoping I'd found a good one.

25%.

There were some crazy prices paid (e.g. Great Escape for ?3,500 before BP/fees, 
Psycho ?2,400 before BP/fees).

Astons was the auctioneer. It got fair amount of publicity, partly because the 
War Of The Worlds was on the UK Antiques Roadshow a long time ago.

Here is a link to the prices:

My guess is that Bruce and Heritage would have been struggling to get some of 
these  prices. Just goes to show that being a big fish in a small pond can work 
wonders.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage charges

[Michael Greenwood]

And I am 100% in agreement with Helmut's wise and fully correct observations 
toward corporate need for profits and while Heritage may want the bar to rise 
as far as the quality of their offerings, I think they're fine with the Sunday 
auctions and BP earnings they take from them...guaranteeing $19 per lot and up 
with better material.

I am not on any side here as I use all sites that offer goods I'm into but 
Bruce's model is one that is more in tune with my lefty sympathies. He's 
running more weekly material through Missouri than the Dallas folks an he is 
able to pay his people via his consignment fees. His staff also seem to be a 
little more informed and on the ball. Corporations tend to increase profits by 
hiring temps and such and like a bit of turnover so raises aren't needed. It 
creates a less pleasant situation for human interaction and getting real 
answers rather than lack of knowledge or some scripted corpspeak.


That's just how I see it. I'd love to feel different.

I agree with Rich entirely here.  We all resent rising prices, but Heritage is 
just one of millions of business experiecing rising costs.

that may well be true, but the problem lies elsewhere: Like any other 
corporation, Heritage is determined to make MORE money every year.

With Grey Smith, the Heritage Corporation has a very friendly face, but don't 
let that fool you: Like any other corporation, they do not care about you, me 
or anybody else, all they care about is MORE MONEY.

The word 'enough' does not exist in the capitalist vocabulary, neither do any 
kind of moral values.

I feel that Pee Wee is one of the worst entertainers to ever grace the cinema 
screens...along with Jerry Lewis and Ben Stiller...Pee Wee is creepy and I saw 
the film before his conflagrations...it was is not funny...Look at Gene Wilder 
in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory...a great performance.

Pee Wee is full on creepy - and very unfunny

But it all comes down to taste - Chevy Chase in Fletch is excellent, Steve 
Martin is superb (except for his Pink Panther films whjich really cannot 
compare with Peter Sellers) -

I saw Pee Wee while I was in the US and I have to say it was the worst waste of 
my time - I have never felt so ripped off coming out of a cinema - and my mum 
and dad were with me and they felt the same.

Anyhow - I have aired my feelings - perhaps a good idea to draw a line here.

Agreed.  I've watched Big Adventure twenty times at least...practically had it

think Adrian doesn't like public masturbation and is possibly unable to see 
past that incident in the life or the creator of the character...but perhaps 
I'm wrong.  Or he doesn't find that act funny. However, I can attest to the 
fact that some do and I will go so far as to say some future generations will 
still find it so.

I think it’s clear by now that Adrian doesn’t enjoy Pee Wee.  Who knew that 
when I posted this rather interesting article from the Times Magazine that we 
were going to
unearth all this.  Adrian seems to have a very clear idea of what and who is 
funny and what and who isn’t.

But I think it’s worth noting that what and who is funny morphs thru the years. 
 In 1948, audiences thought that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were madly funny - 
and Paramount rejoiced as they kept stashing all that cash.  Later the French 
almost enshrined Lewis as not only funny, but a serious auteur.  Have you 
watched HOLLYWOOD OR BUST recently?  I adore Monty Python, but you might get a 
yawn from more than a few post-millenials, who might not get what the big fuss 
was.  And the Goon Show?  Now that really is an antique.  But nevertheless I 
appreciate them, and I adore Peter Sellers.  But do you think that people would 
howl at A SHOT IN THE DARK today as they did at the Inwood Theater in Dallas 
when I first saw it.  I doubt it.

I think that Pee Wee (Paul Rubens) was not so much funny himself as he brought 
something entirely new to comedy.  He saw people like George Lucas mining 
pop-culture gold and turning it into adventurous faux sci/fi.   I think that he 
realized that all that pop-culture stuff could be sent up comically just as 
well.  And he, and the ensemble he worked with, did just that extremely well, 
re-filtering childhood in America in the fifties in a way that mixed nostalgia 
and the absurd brilliantly.  And I think that Netflix and Judd Apatow have a 
well placed bet that the American public will pay to watch him on Netflix go at 
it again.

But I will say that the last thing I find Pee Wee is “creepy.”

Zeev,



I worked on several of the Pee Wee movies as I have played oboe on many of 
Danny Elfman’s film scores. I had heard about this and it is indeed very 
interesting. Milton Rubenfeld also had a small role in Big Top Pee Wee, where 
he played a character named…wait for it…HERMAN

And here is something I’m sure, most of you didn’t know:

2014 saw the release of a documentary film called Above and Beyond. It was 
produced by Nancy Spielberg, the youngest sister of Steven Spielberg.

It documents the story of the handful of American, and other foreign nationals, 
that were veteran flyers in the service of various Allied forces in WWII, and 
went on to volunteer to the fledgling, ill-equipped Israeli Air Force, to help 
defend the new state during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It would be impossible 
to over-emphasize their importance and contribution, as it is widely believed 
that those few “foreigners”, five to be exact, have changed the course of the 
so called War of Independence.

One of those volunteers was Milton "Milt" Rubenfeld (1919 – 2004), a pilot who 
flew for the Royal Air Force and U.S. Army during World War II. He’s none other 
than Paul Reubens’ (Pee-wee Herman)  father.

Just thought some of you might find it interesting.

I think it’s clear by now that Adrian doesn’t enjoy Pee Wee.  Who knew that

unearth all this.  Adrian seems to have a very clear idea of what and who is 
funny and what and who isn’t.



But I think it’s worth noting that what and who is funny morphs thru the years. 
 In 1948, audiences thought that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were madly funny - 
and Paramount rejoiced as they kept stashing all that cash.  Later the French 
almost enshrined Lewis as not only funny, but a serious auteur.  Have you 
watched HOLLYWOOD OR BUST recently?  I adore Monty Python, but you might get a 
yawn from more than a few post-millenials, who might not get what the big fuss 
was.  And the Goon Show?  Now that really is an antique.  But nevertheless I 
appreciate them, and I adore Peter Sellers.  But do you think that people would 
howl at A SHOT IN THE DARK today as they did at the Inwood Theater in Dallas 
when I first saw it.  I doubt it.



I think that Pee Wee (Paul Rubens) was not so much funny himself as he brought 
something entirely new to comedy.  He saw people like George Lucas mining 
pop-culture gold and turning it into adventurous faux sci/fi.   I think that he 
realized that all that pop-culture stuff could be sent up comically just as 
well.  And he, and the ensemble he worked with, did just that extremely well, 
re-filtering childhood in America in the fifties in a way that mixed nostalgia 
and the absurd brilliantly.  And I think that Netflix and Judd Apatow have a 
well placed bet that the American public will pay to watch him on Netflix go at 
it again.



But I will say that the last thing I find Pee Wee is “creepy.”

Back in the late 1970’s I apprenticed the troupe and was a manager for the 
Groundlings Theater in LA on Friday nights.

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!

hours he spent helping others and raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy

neuro-biological brain disorder. I think through research he has helped many 
other illnesses too because of the important research that MDA has done over 
the years. The funds raised for research of Muscular Dystrophy has also helped 
research for all illnesses. He really has helped ALL of us.

March 16th Jerry Lewis will be 90 years old. God Bless Him and I appreciate ALL

Re: [MOPO] HA shipping costs

[Michael Greenwood]

Just to be clear, my cheapness is just that...it's not a condition that results 
in me thinking that everyone should honour the International shipping charges 
of six years ago or something.  I know that shipping is expensive and I buy 
with it in mind.  Almost all my records are now ordered through a shop in 
Toronto and I drive down once a month and grab them.  Gas costs $ too, but not 
as much as shipping.  Plus I see friends and have a nice meal!  Ones I cannot 
source through them must be shipped and I deal with it or I don't get the 
album.  However, I do try to make the shipping count and try to get as many 
records as I can (under a certain weight) if I am shipping.  It takes work, 
this saving money!

I'm only chiming in on my experiences...the original post wasn't explicit in 
what they were looking for as far as experience with Heritage but I thought I'd 
throw this out.

Hello

I'm writing because I've recently had an issue and it's something that's 
happened before so I thought I'd air it out and this shouldn't be read as 
Heritage bashing or anything too mean.

I'm in Canada and the last five years has seen a tremendous jump in 
International shipping and especially from the US.  I also collect records so I 
was very used to being able to estimate shipping for most standard orders of 
both forms of posters (rolled/flat) and records until the $ starting getting 
nuts.

My first problem came when I found out that Heritage would no longer hold items 
beyond a maximum of three invoices.  This was never how it had been for all the 
time I was buying there and had become used to and there was no warning of this 
and, at the time, I had amassed a good collection of stuff I wanted to ship as 
I always had...in one bulk go.  It saves me a lot of money that I can continue 
to spend on paper rather than stamps.  I started getting a bunch of shipping

Canada as excise taxes are a reality as are brokerage fees and two packages

On top of all that complaining (I am super cheap when it comes to costs OUTSIDE 
of the paper I want) I do want to point out that Heritage is by far the most 
expensive of the four main auctions that I regularly follow.  They charge both 
handling fees and fees for materials and they are not cheap.  I complain and I 
always hope that a sympathetic Heritage employee will just up and confess that 
they are what I assume they are...a greedy corporation

Re: [MOPO] HA shipping costs

[Michael Greenwood]

Hello

I'm writing because I've recently had an issue and it's something that's 
happened before so I thought I'd air it out and this shouldn't be read as 
Heritage bashing or anything too mean.

I'm in Canada and the last five years has seen a tremendous jump in 
International shipping and especially from the US.  I also collect records so I 
was very used to being able to estimate shipping for most standard orders of 
both forms of posters (rolled/flat) and records until the $ starting getting 
nuts.

My first problem came when I found out that Heritage would no longer hold items 
beyond a maximum of three invoices.  This was never how it had been for all the 
time I was buying there and had become used to and there was no warning of this 
and, at the time, I had amassed a good collection of stuff I wanted to ship as 
I always had...in one bulk go.  It saves me a lot of money that I can continue 
to spend on paper rather than stamps.  I started getting a bunch of shipping 
invoices as my stuff was filing out of Dallas three invoices at a time.  It was 
going to cost me around $500 to ship all my paper so I freaked out and called 
them to stop.  I had bought many posters that were cheap simply due to the fact 
that I knew (or thought I did) that they would be shipped along with the cream 
of the crop at little extra charge but now that the rules had changed, I'd have 
to rethink those buys and I was considering re-consigning them rather than ship 
them as it was way too expensive to consider.  Thankfully Grey got involved and 
helped iron some stuff out and gave me a bit of an extra break in invoice 
shipping when I explained my predicament...I don't hold him responsible, 
naturally.  It seems that what worked fine before no longer does and all I can 
guess is that more shipments out means more handling/material fees...more money 
for Heritage.  Unless there is a reasonable explanation for the change I 
haven't been made aware of.

handling fees and fees for materials and they are not cheap.  I complain and I 
always hope that a sympathetic Heritage employee will just up and confess that 
they are what I assume they are...a greedy corporation trying to roughly yank 
every cent from my wallet in any and every way that they can...but nobody 
answering my emails has offered that as an explanation so they just kinda quote 
figures and such and remain kinda vague as to why my directions are ignored and 
I have to pay for it.

Rich, Bruce and Peter all hold items for me for reasonable times and/or 
amounts.  I am eternally grateful for this (and for Heritage's efforts in this 
too!) as it makes a really big difference now that International shipping is 
almost ridiculous.  Bruce charges very little for materials and no handling 
that I know of.  I don't detect any excessive charges from Rich either and 
Peter is just completely remarkable...give lots of business too all these 
people and maybe if enough people complain, we can bring these other, more 
serious capitalists around to helping the guys who help them exist to keep 
supporting them.

Thanks,
M

I'm asking the question of this distinguished group of poster collectors 
because, frankly, no one else's opinion matters to me.   :)

So:  which woman do you want pictured on the 10 dollar bill.

I'm thinking either Elizabeth Taylor or Marilyn Monroe.

It's clear to me that the Taylor image should be Taylor as CLEOPATRA.  
Indisputably.  I think it would smooth our relations with the Middle East.  
It's iconic, etc.

But Monroe?  I was thinking Marilyn on the SEVEN YEAR ITCH subway grate as this 
so clearly seems to be the cultural direction of America at this point in our 
history: breathless with our dress blowing up.  However, the sly bimbo of SOME 
LIKE IT HOT might also work well.

What do YOU think???

Hello

Does anybody know of a source for posters for the screening of The Lobster at 
Cannes this past week?  I'd love to grab one of each if that's possible.  Any

Subject: [MOPO] 20 Years of MoPo!
To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU

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 19th birthday, 
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.  
Thanks to all of you for keeping this relic of the 20th century alive for yet 
another year! ScottMoPo List Owner

  There has been

There were a number of posts were about David�s new

  For AIP fans only!

I pitched the great Sam Arkoff a woman�s prison comedy -
Spent a couple hours with him in his penthouse in the 9000 building on Sunset 
Blvd.
He sat behind a huge desk, chomped on his cigar and laughed.
And the whole time I was dreaming of AIP double bill press books.

For Tarzan and Serial fans!

Had lunch with Buster Crabbe across the street from Arkoff�s 9000 suite at the 
Hamburger Hamlet a couple years before that.
Crabbe was supposed to be one of the first Hollywood heath nuts, but drank 
milkshakes and chain smoked instead of eating.

For Fox fans!

Had dinner with Richard Widmark at the Palais de Chaillot overlooking the 
Eiffel Tower on the Night of Music -
Pretty amazing visuals - but he was so burned out I can�t remember if he made 
sense out of anything.

For pot heads!

Spent the afternoon in a lunch room locked down under a bomb threat - with 
Cheech and Chong!
Cheech was a sweetheart - Tommy not so nice - probably needed a hit.

For Demi Moore fans!

I worked as a writer and producer on Demi�s first film - Parasite 3D.
She was 18 when she walked in for the part - said about two sentences and I 
immediately took her into Charlie Band�s office - read lines with her - and I 
think we hired her on the spot as I remember.
My soon-to-be-wife at the time and I used to go dancing at Madame Wong�s on 
Sunset when Demi's husband Freddie Moore played punk rock on stage there.

For the rock elite?

Spent some time in Cherie Currie�s make up trailer looking at her rock and roll 
scrapbooks -
(She was a real sweetie - also in Parasite 3D - lovely death scene!).

search by format and year of result. Text mode is much better for this kind of
searching. 

   

I only need the images if I want to check
out the specific style of a given piece or if I am unfamiliar with it, which is
not often. 

   

Mainly the info I am looking for is title,
format, condition and price. The picture is the last thing I need. If I need to
see a pic I can always click on the camera icon next to the listing. 

   

So text mode is by far the best way to get
these results for me

We are going to eliminate the
text mode from our Auction History and Auction Galleries unless we
hear from enough people who use it!
 Our Auction
History and Auction
Galleries have contained 3 ways to view results (Grid, List,
Text), and the first two included images but the last one did not. Some of you
have told us that you are stuck in text view, and it occurs to us
that we don't think anyone uses that text view, so we are thinking of removing
it. We are giving you one week to tell us whether you want it kept or not. If no
one (or only a few people) tells us they want it to stay, then we will soon
remove the text view so that you will then only be viewing Auction History
results in a Grid layout or a List layout, BOTH
with images. 

The
only reason we ever had the text view was back from the day (years
ago) when we had our images in a separate database from our results, and when
we combined the two databases we kept the text view because a few
people were still on dial up modems and they could not handle pages
with lots of images. But that is ancient history now, so unless we find some
reason we missed, this text view will be gone in one week! 

You
can learn more about these 3 views HERE:

Re: [MOPO] A Curious Phenomenon

[Michael Greenwood]

I have very recently been investigating this thing as well, Zeev!  After last 
weekend's auctions, I was looking at the sales history of the Nude on the Moon 
poster I failed to secure, once again, and one of the past sales offered this 
very option.  So, I clicked on it and tried to access an offer page but was 
told that Heritage had no email registered to my account which is incorrect as 
I receive my invoices promptly!

Anyway, I was thinking the opposite of you guys and wondered if some might have 
buyer's remorse and want to sell items that possibly didn't want in the first 
place. Being cheap, my thinking was that maybe they'd sell at a discount but at 
some point while I was ripping around the system (and I could be wrong here...I 
am not an expert to be quoted) I did find that offers are to be! I believe, 30% 
over the buying price to be considered.  So, since I lost the poster last 
weekend and the one from before sold at the same price, basically, I was out of 
the picture and unable to cash in/out!

I think it is definitely a useful feature if you buy and sell or buy dupes to 
trade and such. If something is going cheap, why not grab it and put it up for 
a quick re-sale?  Of course, I'd love the other option too...all that regret 
and auction over-spending in the heat of the moment and me there to help 
relieve it a little bit and give you back a small amount of your purchase 
price...you can't buy that kind if dignity!

I’ve noticed a curious phenomenon in Heritage Auctions.  On some items, as soon 
as the auction is barely over, there appears a link MAKE OFFER TO OWNER, and 
under it is added  ” This item's Owner is proactively entertaining Offers”.  
Would anyone care to chip in and explain to me what this is all about?  Who are 
those buyers that turn around and try to sell as soon as they became winners of 
the item? Are these investors? Dealers?  And who is their target audience? 
Heritage “regulars”  who just happen to miss this auction? Because anyone who 
participated in the auction, already bid as high as they would care to, or so 
it seems. I don’t get it.  Can somebody illuminate? Thanks, Zeev

interesting that Helmut posted his analysis of MoPo posts from the past week 
TODAY, which just happens to be MoPo’s 19th birthday. As Bruce then commented, 
the other 2 existing poster forums “are pretty dead” as well. Are we really all 
talked out? Has Facebook taken over the world? Is MoPo an Internet dinosaur and 
no longer necessary? Questions to ponder…but first, as I always do every 
February 24th, a brief review of MoPo history…  On February 24, 1995 the first 
official MoPo post was distributed via American University’s listserv. For a 
few weeks prior to that launch date, the handful of original MoPo members 
simply cc’d their e-mail messages to the other people in the group (there were 
11 at the
 beginning). In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to recognize those 
MoPo pioneers:  Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh 
Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, 
myself (your humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555—real name Jeff Static. 
Michael, Rob and Evan are still members. Cindy sadly passed away in June 2008, 
but her husband Jay has taken her place on MoPo. Hats off to all the MoPo 
originals!  I’d also like to send out my annual thank you to American 
University, our generous host. I’m surprised, but grateful, they continue to 
maintain their listserv system, a relic from the early days of the Internet. 
Yes, it has limitations (no fancy
 graphics, mail delivery issues) but it still serves our intimate group well.   
Happy 19th Birthday MoPo! But will we make it to 20? Should we?   My deepest 
thanks to all of you for the ride (so far) and for however long it lasts!

Re: [MOPO] It's all over but the shouting

[Michael Greenwood]

Hello

This was the only reason I refrained from bidding in the auction and I did want 
to...for both items and to support Dan, who I think is cool.

International shipping (I'm in Canada) is such a coin toss these days and I was 
totally afraid of getting stuck in some company representative dance and 
third-party shipping and all I could see (USPS increases aside!) was dollar 
signs getting bigger and bigger.  So, sadly I had to watch and stay out.  No 
risks!

to allow 10-12 weeks.  Please let us know if you prefer to have your order

Julie Harris, star of “East of Eden” (1955) and the “The Haunting” (1963) has

Holidays,” a nifty little TV thriller made for the “ABC Movie of the Week” in 
1972.  Julie Harris co-stars with Sally Field, Jessica Walter, Eleanor Parker 
and Walter Brennan (in one of his very last performances). It’s available on 
YouTube, including that memorable Movie of the Week open. If you’re never seen 
it, or are too young to recall the “Movie of the Week,” it’s worth a look:

Hello

I thought I'd throw this one out again as it's been a while and maybe you're 
bored with yours or inherited one from somebody and you'll be damned if you 
know what you're gonna do with the silly thing.

Original US one sheet would be nice but the three sheet is truly where my heart 
lies.

Make a guy happy, people.

All the best,
Michael

Re: [MOPO] POSTER WITHIN A FILM

[Michael Greenwood]

My favourite is in the Blob where the theatre is showing Daughter of Horror and 
you can see the rare (?) poster for this great, obscure movie in the box out 
front and it's the actual movie playing onscreen during the shots inside.  
Great continuity!!

All the best,
M

Re: [MOPO] FIFTY ESSENTIAL GAY FILMS

What are the rules?  50 feature length?  Mainstream?  I can't take the list 
seriously when it's missing my kind of filmmakers like Kuchar, McDowell, 
Milligan and even my homegrown hero LaBruce is missing!  These people!

And if it is to be mainstream features, where is Reflections in a Golden Eye?  
Possibly the greatest film of all time!!

Lists, who really needs 'em, outside of websites hoping to generate hits via

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU

Time flies when you’re having fun…MoPo turns 18 today! On February 24, 1995 the 
first MoPo post was distributed via American University’s listserv. I’m truly 
amazed (and very thankful) that American U keeps their listserv up and running, 
after all, listservs are SO last century! It may be a dinosaur, but it still 
serves us well. In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to recognize the 
11 original MoPo’ers: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna 
Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, 
Adam Ehrlich, myself (your humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555 (real name is 
Jeff Static). I finally stumbled upon his true identity. Michael, Rob and Evan 
are still members.  Thanks to everyone for helping MoPo reach this milestone.

Re: [MOPO] OT Packing Shipping LP Albums

[Michael Greenwood]

Hi Lenny

I am also a troubled record collector (pity me) as well as a fan of buying 
movie paper.  Although this may not be possible for you, depending on your 
location and ability to find them, there are perfect little 12 by 12 
cardboard boxes made specifically for lps.  It's too bad you aren't close (or 
are you?) as I tend to have them piling up all the time!

Failing that, if you have a local record store, give them a call and ask to buy 
some or where you could find them in your area.

Good luck,
M

Good Evening All,
 
I have a small collection of movie soundtrack LP vinyl albums that I 
am eventually going to try and auction off. In order to send them on their 
way, hopefully if they sell, how would one pack and ship these individually and 
safely? What would I pack them in?
 
Any advice from any of you that may be familiar with this type of 
packing and shipping would be most appreciated.
 
Thank you all very much and have a nice evening or day wherever you may 
be.
 
Kindest Regards,

 Howdy all!
 
 I don't have to tell you the hoops my patient wife of 27 years, Susan, and I 
 have jumped through to have now reached 10K positive feedbacks on Ebay with 
 zero negative hits.
 We are a true Mom and Pop business - it's just been the 2 of us all along, 
 scrabbling over how best to pack a delicate window card or talk sense to an 
 insane customer.
 Right here and now I want to thank Susan in the greater public of our humble 
 forum for rolling up her sleeves and playing in my sandbox.
 Without her support I would have had to hand over the selling of my 
 collection to someone else and miss all the fun of saying goodbye to each and 
 every piece!
 
 The feedbacks say we accurately grade, we're easily to deal with, give good 
 deals, pack incredibly well, send promptly, and sell some often rare, but 
 always fun stuff with something for everyone in mind.
 
 We've made a lot of friends and a great many of them are among the ranks of 
 MOPO - a group for which I am constantly amazed at their knowledge and 
 opinions - both of which you folks give with nothing held back.  I also think 
 movie poster collectors are funny as hell and I often crack up reading your 
 posts.   
 
 Movie paper people are a funny lot - maybe its the old ink that runs in our 
 bloodstreams that sets us apart.
 I think of poster collecting as more of a religion than a hobby, though.
 That's what feeds my continuing respect for paper and those that handle it.
 It's been a very special life's work disseminating the material I acquired as 
 a child and putting it into the hands of another generation to take care of 
 it before they pass it on again.
 
 So, thanks for all the support - and crazy as it is - We'll keep selling on 
 Ebay until I get it together to launch my own site.
 Keep watching the skies - we've been noodling it.
 
 And if anyone wants to sniff out our current auctions -
 There's about 500 of them at any one time -
 And about a hundred or more closing right now this fine Saturday morning.
 
 Just follow the link below -
 Bid with Confidence - and Enjoy!
 
 And thanks again for all the support!

I agree though, it's a great site and I will be back often as I

On February 24, 1995 the first MoPo post was distributed via  
American University’s listserv. For a few weeks prior to that date,  
the original MoPo members simply cc’d their e-mail messages to the  
other 11 people in the group. In keeping with my annual tradition,  
I’d like to recognize those 11:


Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai  
Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam  
Ehrlich, myself (your humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555—who  
for the first time I can finally identify as Jeff Static. For years  
I was unsure of Static555’s real name, but by digging through the  
early MoPo archives I finally stumbled upon his true identity.  
Michael, Rob and Evan are still members.


Thanks to you all for keeping MoPo alive these 17 years even in the  
face of a lot of competition from those more graphically-enhanced  
discussion boards. Also a big thanks to American University for the  
use of their ever-reliable listserv system, a dinosaur that they  
continue to support. And thanks to the original 11 who got MoPo off  
to a fine start way back in 1995.

Re: [MOPO] The flip side of people who complain we over-pack!

[Michael Greenwood]

I'll just give my opinion here and say that, yes, Bruce has  
remarkable packing skills and it costs me a lot of time getting to  
the actual paper!  Not really a complaint.


But I also give full kudos to Heritage (and Rich at movieposterbid  
too!) for excellent packing!  I have virtually no cares about  
packages any more as these sellers are probably where 95% of my  
dealings are based.


If something truly hideous happens during transit, there are few  
precautions that will protect it fully but I have zero complaints  
with these sellers and their packing at all.


All the best,
M

In writing my response to the initial email in haste I did fail to

it's unfair to say that the packaging was wholly insufficient. That  
being said I do stand by my belief that emovieposter.com sets the  
gold standard when it comes to packing posters for shipment.


And I use a proxy for purchases through HA.

Subject: [MOPO] The flip side of people who complain we over-pack!

We get some complaints from people who say we over-pack, and  
that we should just use one piece of cardboard on each side and  
put that in a plain envelope!


On the other hand, we often read on forums like these about people  
who get posters packed like this and arrive mangled.


We sell all over the world, and many of our packages travel huge  
distances and get mislaid along the way, so we try to truly use  
gorilla-proof packaging.


Here is a case where it really paid off:

A customer from France contacted us that his package had gone  
missing. We replied that it almost surely would turn up before too  
long, because in most such cases the items are tied up in customs.


He just e-mailed to tell us the package arrived. Here is what he  
said:


Somehow, somewhere in transit, the parcel must have gotten  
drenched in water or something. The parcel and inner cartons were  
visibly damaged but thanks to the meticulous packing you do, none  
of the posters got damaged. Once again I am more than satisfied  
with your overall service and I look forward to buy more and more  
stuff from your auctions!


Of course the Postal Service provided him with no explanation of  
what occurred (perhaps it fell out of the airplane on the way over  
and was fished out of the ocean?), and no apology for drenching  
the package!

Most know of him as Columbo, but he was at his finest in The In-

guys like Walter Matthau who was always better than what he  
appeared in, but it took a super long time for him to become a star.

I have had a funny name theory for a long time. It developed when  
I noticed that the vast majority of the 30,000+ movie paper  
collectors on my mailing list had odd names (either first, last  
or both), and that very few had common names like Smith or  
Jones and most of the few that did had unusual first names like  
Ebinezer or Grey.


My funny name theory is that kids with odd names are more likely  
to be less social and teased about their names when they are young,  
and that this MIGHT make them more inclined to solitary pursuits  
like reading comic books or collecting movie posters.


I have no clue if this is true, but the new collectors on my list  
over the past few years continue to bear out this theory.

Alan,
My opinion only, but collectors in general are quirky, opinionated,  
often obtuse, generally speaking.
It doesn’t matter whether its posters, comics, stamps or coins. The  
same bolt of cloth, if you will.
I believe that with collectors there is a certain obsessive nature  
perhaps, to bring some order to their world, in whatever way they  
can, and that is what collecting is about. A need to own the tools  
to do so.
It can lead us to be viewed as less than logical or clear minded  
individuals, in many instances.
I will say that those qualities can often make for some very fun,  
witty and interesting exchanges, to say the least. But rarely boring!

As most of you will know I had cancer in 2008 and could not attend

convent 2010 was a cathartic experience for me, this all sounds  
very gay...but those concerned know who they are and what they mean  
to me.


As for Ralph, did he get a Marx brothers card? I was unaware. I  
think I did bad mouth Ralph one night he didn't by the beers or  
something, we had to wait till the next night.As for Andrew getting  
a Goldfinger 3 sheet, well done, if it hand.t have been sold the  
owner was prepared for me to take it on consignment. The fact the  
owner at the time sold it couldn't have been better. In fact that  
owner and I have such a good relationship that I would do anything  
in power to help him in anyway and I can safely say vice versa.


As for the photo outside of Mitchells I needed just me and the guys  
whom I have bonded with, Andrew was new to me. In fact all the guys  
who were there said no to Andrew being in the shot...I was lucky to  
be there and it was an emotional time for me and I needed just  
those guys...not someone I didn't know and also someone who was  
proving to be offensive and obnoxious toward my pals at the very  
least he was impolite.


Andrew did prove to be entertainment none the least...however it is  
plainly obvious that there is something wrong. Certainly I could  
care less about him and his collecting. At the beginning like most  
of us I was willing to take him into our group but the more  
impolite he became the worse it was and he insisted on getting  
drunk in our company the quicker the better

Re: [MOPO] OT RIP Dennis Hopper

[Michael Greenwood]

Although we all knew this one was inevitable, I must say that he is  
someone, to me, who represents one of the greatest creative minds and  
most fascinating careers in the whole of American cinema.  One glance  
at his film history is enough for me to be amazed for hours and  
hours.  He took with him the greatest stories I'd ever want to hear.   
What an impossibly huge loss.

I guess everyone saw this coming especially his frail presence at his
Walk Of Fame celebration, but Dennis Hopper hours ago passed away.
