Subject: [MOPO] INDIANA JONES PRESS POSTERS


So I thought this board should be made aware of what I got in the mail 
today.   Some how,  one of my friends at Paramount added me to the 
Paramount Press List.


So far I have received a INDY JONES BULL WHIP with a copy of the trailer.

Then today,  I got a poster tube with 4 posters in it.

The letter said I was receiving a copy of the Original Indy Jones and the 
Crystal Skull poster.   And I was getting,  "Commemorative" posters of the 
the other 3 films.


You look at them and they are single sided and look like the originals. 
The only thing I can see is no NSS number on the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK 
poster.   They are all rolled.


Keep an eye out for a bunch of perfect rolled Indy posters hitting the 
market.


What a mess.

Ira

Re: [MOPO] 606 people have looked at my EBAY item?

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

E*ay counters are completely unreliable.

On many occasions I have uploaded items and gone and had a look within
a couple of minutes, and there has been anything up to 20 hits on some things,
3 on others 10 on others and so on.

The thing has been there less than 2 minutes and 20 people have gone and looked?
I don't think so. On one occasion I was intrigued enough to look at 50 items 
just uploaded, and everything had exactly 8 hits on it.

I believe it's random and done simply to "encourage" sellers that their stuff 
is being looked and has interest when we all know that real e*ay business has 
dropped dramatically (and folks some of us sell in other than movie posters, or 
have colleagues who work in other areas to compare notes with). 

Anybody who runs a counter on their site knows you can make a counter run up 
any pre-determined number per click, so you visit a website and their counter 
says 1,228,566 er, yes

  Maybe the numbers of people who look at sheet music are much higher
  than movie posters.  Movie posters are very specialized.  As much as
  the hobby has grown, it really hasn't grown enough.  15 years ago,
  when Sothebys and Christies were having their first auctions there
  was a sense in the collecting community that movie posters were
  about to go BIG TIME.  The hobby has grown, but I don't think
  it has lived up to many expectations from that time.


  I bet if you could peek at ebay's master "traffic counter"
  you would see that there are many collectibles that draw
  far more lookers.


  This is just my hunch, not something which I know for a fact.

Re: [MOPO] Lack of courtesy among DEALERS/COLLECTORS asking for WANTS

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

I have been astonished lately at the number of people asking for highly 
detailed specifics on something you have, wanting to see high resolution jpegs, 
sizes to the mm, and etc, and not having the courtesy to simply say, "Thanks 
for taking the time, but no thanks."

Over the past few months I've weeded out the folks who I will reply to on a WTB 
simply based on past performance of that simple courtesy when I've responded in 
the past. I call it the "Dick List".

I recently had reason to reply to Sam Sarowitz's request for something, and in 
both cases while the deal never happened he got back to me straight away with a 
simple,  "thanks for the time you spent, Best, Sam" - something in my 
experience Sam always does.

Doesn't take much and certainly means that Sam won't be going on the "Dick 
List" anytime soon, even if we never did another deal.

Ironically, many of the WTBs (whether on MOPO or as private mail-outs) are for 
stuff that is either coming up soon on a major auction, or something that just 
sold for better than expected results somewhere.

  For the dealers and collectors posting WANTS on MoPo who don't have the 
courtesy to spend the 30 seconds that it would take to reply to someone 
offering you your exact wants, I WILL NOT be responding to your WANT LISTS 
anymore, when I have exactly what you're looking for.
   
  Many do reply such as David Lieberman, but in the last couple of weeks I have 
responded to people's exact wants with no replies whatsoever.  
   
  No problem if you don't want it, but at least have the courtesy to reply to 
someone taking the time to let you know they have what you want.

Hello Everyone,

As you may recall a couple of months ago I ask all of you for 
information on your websites, etc. so that I could include it on my updated 
website. Well the website is now uploaded. Please take a minute to look. We 
have added all kinds of new frame sizes and different options. The most 
important changes are the "multipack" specials and the "free shipping" offers.  
We have been negotiating with our shippers for several months. We have seen our 
volume of shipping grow incredibly in the past 3 years and wanted our shipping 
company, Fedex, to recognize that with some shipping discounts. In addition, 
this past year, Fedex has instituted new guidelines on boxes that were 
considered oversize before, but are now just regular shipping boxes charged by 
weight and not by size. 

  As we always have, the frames are at wholesale cost to you and now 
with the free shipping offers on the majority of the frames we offer, that 
combination is even better! 

 We have some new frame styles available, including the Marquis Frame 
with a Now Showing or Coming Soon banner. The banners are even sold separately 
to hang with your existing frames. Many of you already have this frame from me, 
but this is the first I have shown it on the website. 
  
  Please take a moment to look at the website. If you have any comments 
or questions, please don't hesitate to call or email me. I appreciate any 
input. We designed the site to be as user friendly as possible, but we are 
framers and sometimes things may be listed or worded in a way that is confusing 
to non framers. 

  In addition, if you have any further information that you would like 
me to include on my links page, please let me know. My links are under the "our 
friends" category. 
   
  So, thanks for taking a look.

Re: [MOPO] Another Unka

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Little known fact about OLD YELLER was that they were having script problems 
and drafted in a near the end of the line Raymond Chandler to help out.


He simply adapted one of his own rules for when the plotting gets dry - have 
someone come through the door and shoot the dog.

Fairy tales are often very dark (whole books have been written on the

Disney was not really doing anything new, just continuing a tradition.

Re: [MOPO] Another Unka

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Interesting out of that list, Rich, that OLD YELLER which we can add to it, was 
the only one I saw as a young child.

All the others I saw either in late teens or even later for the first time. We 
also used to see them carved up in chunks/sequences on DISNEYLAND in the early 
60s. Periodically, I get the impression that export version of DISNEYLAND was 
quite different to the US domestic one. There seemed uncanny tie-ins to 
"specials" that coincided with local Australian releases of new Disney product.

Re: [MOPO] WTB Yellow Submarine Brit Quad $$

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Dear Cris

There are 3 different versions of the quad - 2 teasers and a final. The 2 
teasers have increasingly more artwork  that leads to the final full 
version. You might want any prospective seller to show you pictures in advance.

[MOPO] F/A: The Glass Key - Linen-backed, original Richardson Daybill

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hi All,
Considered among the best of the 1940s Richardson Studio daybills, THE GLASS 
KEY has the added attraction of being a major film noir from the period and 
along with THIS GUN FOR HIRE and THE BLUE DAHLIA, Alan Ladd's seminal tough guy 
role.

Fabulous and vibrant art featuring Ladd, Veronica Lake and Brian Donlevy and 
with creator Dashiell Hammett's name an important part of the title treatment, 
it's a poster for noir aficionados, and those with a literary bent for 
collecting 20th Century classic American writers' ephemera.

Re: [MOPO] Strange doings in Bruce's auctions

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

There appears to be an ongoing problem, Bruce, and all other sellers, that 
remains to be fixed.


We have just received a (legit) eBay message indicating exactly what Bruce 
describes in his post.


This was for one item, sold from our eBay store and paid for immediately via 
PP just in the last few hours. The buyer is legit, the PP payment is legit. 
But the item no longer exists because eBay has removed it. The buyer is 
still there, and nothing in his feedback and buying patterns indicate 
anything untoward at all.


Presumably one ships the item to the buyer and hopes that eBay manages to 
fix what is clearly a serious problem.


Outside of Auctionbytes and online forums, is this being reported elsewhere? 
Apparently eBay is curtailing much discussion on its own boards. Check the 
Auctionbytes articles for regular updates on that.


Folks - if you haven't already, go get those passwords changed PDQ. 
Something very, very strange is going on and it appears to be at an 
international level, not just the US site.


While we are steadily phasing our movie paper dealings off the venue and 
doing the majority of our real business through our website, such matters 
are time consuming and tedious to deal with - especially when the messages 
tell one DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.


Go back and enjoy the rest of the holiday, Bruce eBay and it's attendant 
issues will still be there when you return, unfortunately.


Regards,
Phil & Mila

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Strange doings in Bruce's auctions


Boy! I try to close down for two weeks and enjoy a very RARE vacation, and 
eBay pulls yet another of its major blunders!


Here is the story: The auctions in question were all won by a single 
buyer. That person is a very major collector of memorabilia of all kinds, 
and literally buys hundreds of items many weeks. Someone who this person 
bought from did not get any reply from that person, likely because their 
e-mails were filtered out by a spam filter (anyone who sends lots of 
e-mails knows this is a growing problem). So they panicked and requested 
the buyer's phone number, and when they could not reach them that way, 
they reported them to eBay.


Now, had this happened during the week, the person at eBay receiving the 
report would have had the brains and the experience to know that this 
meant nothing bad, and they would have made an effort to contact the major 
collector themselves, and, at the very worst, they would have suspended 
the account, to make sure the collector would notice it, and contact eBay 
to get reinstated.


But because this happened on the weekend (coincidentally, the day after I 
closed for two weeks), the report went to some weekend employee of eBay, 
likely an ex-burger flipper. This person read what had happened, and put 
two and two together and got 22, and decided this was a classic "hijack". 
They cancelled ALL the major collector's current bids, and, for good 
measure, cancelled ALL the major collector's bids from the past thirty 
days, which meant EVERY auction that collector had bid in was now wiped 
from the eBay system (55 of my recently closed auctions, and hundreds more 
from other sellers)!


This triggers the e-mail EVERY single person bidding on any of those 
auctions received (including many MoPo members). The e-mail states that 
the auction was cancelled and gives the impression that the buyer or the 
seller did something wrong, when actually the ONLY one who did anything 
wrong was eBay itself!


Now one wonders what senior person at eBay made the decision to give a 
person in this position THIS MUCH POWER!  They did not have to consult 
anyone, they did not have to verify anything, and, this is not at all out 
of the ordinary, for, as senior eBay employees have told me in the past, 
eBay's Trust & Safety Department likes to "shoot first and ask questions 
later"!


What will happen now? Well, since the person IS a completely legitimate 
buyer, and since all the auctions have been paid for, and the items sent, 
there is nothing needs to be done there. But the only way for eBay to 
reach those bidders is to reinstate the closed auctions, for they no 
longer have a record of the bidders and can only get them back by 
reinstating the auctions. So they will reinstate the auctions and send out 
very carefully worded e-mails to those who got the first one that 
basically say, "Sorry, move on, nothing to see here" without in any way 
admitting they did anything wrong, and without in any way admitting that 
the buyer and sellers did nothing wrong.


So I will have to waste a bunch of my time answering e-mails and letters, 
telling this same story over and over, and likely there will be a few 
wacky people who think there is a cover-up of some kind. All the more 
reason I eagerly look forward to the day when I am no longer an eBay 
sell

[MOPO] FA: Spectacular and Rare 3 sheets from cinemarts

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Good Day MoPo,

This week we are offering some spectacular and rarely seen Australian three 
sheets for such classics as THEM!, FORBIDDEN PLANET,  LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and 
THE LONGEST DAY, along with US three sheets from MYSTERIOUS MR WONG, and the 
Realart re-release of the INVISIBLE MAN.

Unlike the US large paper, the THEM! is a full colour and vibrantly inked three 
sheet, with spectacular giant bug action, and in near pristine unused 
condition, and the LAWRENCE presents stunning art, beautifully inked and in 
immaculate condition.

We have several other linen backed one sheets on offer, including the gorgeous 
litho of MAN FROM LARAMIE, one of the best Anthony Mann/James Stewart westerns 
and a superbly produced hand litho and iconic western image to accompany it.

We are also offering what is perhaps the rarest format on the Val Lewton horror 
classic, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, the US 14x36 insert.

Our user ID is cinemarts if this link doesn't work.

Re: [MOPO] German film posters

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

You would hard pressed to find a more anti-Nazi household than ours, and I have 
to say that this is one of the most fascinating books of  a lost chunk of movie 
poster history that I have ever seen and is a superb and lasting reference.

The book has no political posturing, it simply presents the posters and the 
history in which they were created within their historical context. The 
inclusion of translations of the then Nazi ruling party doctrine on censorship 
and subject matter allowed and not allowed puts the posters themselves into 
perspective and pretty much damns them just as much as any government 
propaganda machines did on any side in any war.

If you are really seriously interested in all aspects of movie posters 
throughout all areas of film history, these guys have produced the real deal. 
It really is packed with posters that you will never ever see any other way, 
and maybe never again.

  Dear Collectors and Dealers,
  Don't let the title or the subject matter deter you from buying our book. We 
guarantee you will find the book interesting, surprising and enlightening.
  Film posters from Germany in this era were quite well designed and despite 
the political influences of the day they stand out as some of the greatest 
poster art ever produced. We provided translations of original articles 
specifically addressing poster design, display and censorship too. The quality 
of the book is more like an art exhibition catalog. 
  Sales on Amazon, eBay and elsewhere are going well. Dealer terms are 
available. Thanks

[MOPO] F/A: 1920s and early 1930s Photoplayer Magazine Portrait Supplements

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Good Day MoPo!

For those interested in the golden days of Hollywood when movies made the 
cross-over from silents to sound, we are running a selection of Portrait 
Supplement originals that were issued with PHOTOPLAYER MAGAZINE. While 
occasionally issues of these 1920s/30s publication show up, they are usually 
bereft of the loose-leaf  premium give-aways that came with the magazines. We 
were lucky enough to find a collection of just the supplement portraits. 
Movie-mad fans of the day would use these as pin-ups or frame them. If you love 
golden age cinema, these are a must-see on our current eBay auctions.

[MOPO] Why we deal in Movie Posters as a Business

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hi MOPOERs,

Well, it's simple really. We love movies - right across the spectrum - from 
Pixar to Fritz Lang; from Dietrich to the Farrelly Brothers, from the Coen 
Brothers to Warner Bros, from Japanese animee to Donald Duck, from Keanu Reeves 
to Christopher Reeve the list is endless.

We love movies, both together and separately long before we collided several 
years ago, and we love the material that was created to promote it, to sell it, 
to market it - from the sublime to the ridiculous, from arthouse to out-house, 
from silents to HI-DEF-BLOW-YOUR-EARS-OUT-YOUR-HEAD-EYES-OUT-OF-THEIR SOCKETS 
special effects epics to the plot-turning whispered asides in THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

We have started uploading our better material directly to our website 
www.cinemarts.com. 

If you really love movies and movie posters, drop Mila a line at [EMAIL 
PROTECTED] and let us know if you want to get:
1. Our semi-regular newsletters
2. Notifications to our www.cinemarts.com Recent Acquisitions
3. Go on our ADVANCE DIRECT FOR SALE list, drop [EMAIL PROTECTED] a line. 

That's it from us. We generally have NOT been using MOPO posts to make 
weekly/daily/hourly announcements of our auction starting or ending and will 
continue NOT to do so.

This not being the venue and with due respect to Scott's list, we will not make 
FA/FS notifications for the widening pop culture material featuring on our eBay 
cinemarts listings.

Thanks for your time, as always,
Phil & Mila Edwards

We've just uploaded some new items to eBay, and will continue to do so over the 
weekend, and this is a heads-up for a great three Australian sheet that just 
came in, THE TOUGHEST MAN IN ARIZONA. If you are wondering who that might be, 
then take a look at this 1952 classic from Republic. Also several other 50s 
westerns daybill posters, French and Italian posters, lobby sets and other 
interesting stuff running and coming up.

We've given up on the idea that there's a good time to finish auctions on eBay 
now, as well over half of overall eBay sales are outside of the US time zones, 
so one person's good time is another's pillow time. So if you see an item you 
are looking for, place a bid or set a snipe.

Our ID is cinemarts if the link fails you, and we will always combine shipping 
from our website and eBay to minimise shipping costs without compromising solid 
packaging. Check our eBay store as well while you are there, as many items now 
go straight to the store or website and bypass the auctions route altogether.

Thanks for looking and have a fine weekend wherever you might be.
Regards.
Phil & Mila

Re: [MOPO] Pulp Fiction advance recalled reprint auction

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Being a Power Seller has nothing to do with expertise in any area of selling on 
eBay. It has to do with how much one generates in sales.

And any excuse to take a look at Uma's chest for a skin condition of some kind 
is always welcome.

Thanks Steve!

  Also if you read in the description he states "I AM NOT AN EXPERT" Now how 
can you be a power seller of movie posters
  and not be a expert. I hate to see people get scammed also ebay's rules would 
get me kicked off if
  I emailed the current bidder. I just love how ebay protects buyers

[MOPO] BUTTERFIERLD 8 - THE MYSTERY OF TWO DAYBILLS... is no mystery at all.

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Bruce Hershenson is running two daybills for BUTTERFIELD 8 at the moment.

They are easy to differentiate in printing, as clearly one is short a plate 
(see lack of detail in Liz's negligee as one example).

The version with SUITABLE ONLY FOR ADULTS at the bottom of the poster was 
printed for use in Australia. That's the Australian censor rating.

The one without that censor rating was printed in Australia for use in New 
Zealand, as the NZ censor stamp clearly indicates. NZ had a different rating 
system to Australia, with different terminology and different standards.

Ad sales material for NZ was supplied out of Australian distributors - even for 
films banned in Australia but passed for NZ, such as some of the early Hammer 
horrors. This was particularly true of daybills - a format commonly used in 
both Australia and New Zealand.

For one sheets, either regular US domestics or US internationals were used, of 
if it were a British film then UK internationals were frequently used. In other 
cases, Australian one sheets were used, and were printed without the Australian 
rating, or with the Australian rating over-stamped or over-sniped.

This is about the 29th time I have explained this on numerous forums and 
privately to dealers over the years. It will probably be the last. Why does 
everyone have such a short memory about this stuff, especially people who 
handle this sort of material all the time in volume and over many years - 
either the consignors or the sellers?
Regards,
Phil E.

Re: [MOPO] QUESTION: Orig RARE STYLE E.T. Poster, possibly never seen before! PLEASE READ!

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

This sounds like a proof copy of an advertisement on card stock that was 
(machine) folded and inserted into subscription copies of weekly Variety at the 
time. That's where I got mine from.

It's a very nice item because it features the original title, as well as the 
different art designs.

Check somewhere on it for in very small and fine print it MAY say something 
like "Printed as an advertising supplement to Variety"or similar.

I suspect these were also sent out as advance promos to major theatre chain 
managers and perhaps major press people and of course these would be done 
without the Variety line.

If it doesn't have the "printed for etc" it's probably a printer's proof copy 
(and hence the heavier stock, although the Variety insert was also on very nice 
light weight card stock) or one for general promo use.

before! PLEASE READ!


  Hi, Everyone,

About 12 years ago, I purchased a number of posters from someone whose work 
involved the printing of posters for Universal.  Among the items I bought were 
an uncut proof US one sheet from E.T, (spaceship landing style), a couple 
proofs on Empire Strikes Back Advance US one sheets and a few other items.
  One of the pieces is really intriguing and I was wondering if anyone out 
there has seen or even heard of the existence of this poster.  The guy I bought 
the posters from told me that in terms of this particular piece, he was told by 
whoever was in charge to destroy all copies that had been printed.  He 
destroyed all but 2 that he put awayyears later, I would acquire them from 
his as part of our deal.
 They are on heavier stock paper than a one sheet---typical insert stock 
paper from that era. They are proofs---before trimming they measure 27 inches 
wide by 18 inches high---kind of like a small banner.  They have graphics on 
both sides (nothing like the double sided one sheets of today)---On one side is 
printed:
  "Steven Spielberg's The Extraterrestrial...in his first adventure on Earth" 
(the guy told me the original title was planned to be "The Extraterrestrial", 
not "E.T. The Extraterrestrial").  In the corner of this side of the poster 
  it's printed "c 1982  Universal City Studios, Inc.  Printed in U.S.A.". On 
the other side of the poster are three great, colorful scenes of the spaceship 
landing.  The first, with rays of light coming down from the cloudy sky.  
Caption underneath reads: "He is afraid. He is totally alone."---in second 
scene we actually see the spaceship coming closer to the ground with caption: 
"He is 8 million light years from home."---In the third scene the spaceship has 
landed and a figure (completely dwarfed by the size of the spaceship) is 
standing. looking up at it---it looks a somewhat like an alien figure, but it 
could be a boy---I'm not sure.  Caption underneath reads: "A timeless story 
from the most original director of our time".  To the far left of this side of 
the poster, it reads:  "His films.JAWS.have never failed to amaze 
us.CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.entertain us.RAIDERS OF THE 
LOST ARKthrill us.  Now Universal Pictures proudly presents Steven 
Spielberg's newest film."
 I've been collecting & dealing in movie posters for at least 25 years and 
in all that time have never come across a poster of this size, US or foreign.  
It was obviously designed and printed by Universal---the person I bought it 
from was definitely a printer who printed for Universal...and I remember when I 
talked to him all those years ago, I completely believed his account about the 
changing of the film's title and the fact that he was directed to destroy all 
of these posters titled simply "The Extraterrestrial".  
I'd really appreciate it if any MoPoer's out there have any insight into 
these seemingly rare proofs from E.T The Extraterrestrial before it became E.T. 
The Extraterrestrial, I'd really appreciate any insight you might have. 
  Thanks very much to all,
  Rick

[MOPO] FA: cinemarts weekly auctions

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hi All,
Just a reminder that we have several interesting items in our eBay auctions all 
this week, from the great international one sheet for TURTLE DIARY with art by 
Andy Warhol, to many daybills from the 50s, 60s and through to the 80s.

Other featured titles include THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, a great Australian 
one sheet with Jack Davis art for  A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE 
FORUM and many other posters from art house and indie films, to major releases.

If the link doesn't work, then our ID is cinemarts
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ200QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQrdZ0QQsascsZ1QQsassZcinemartsQQsbrsrtZd

As we are selling to the world market, we gave up on the idea of a "good time 
to finish an auction". It's someone's "good time" somewhere in the world. So if 
you see something you want to bid on, then either bid early or set a snipe. We 
don't mind either way.

Thanks for your time,
Phil & Mila Edwards

Re: [MOPO] A list of "classic" movies for you to see (this is a VERY long post)!

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

I worked on the documentary on the making of MMBT as well as writing the 
international press kit, and so lived with that film for every day of its 
making.


Maybe had it been not so heavily recut to make it an "action movie" then 
perhaps

Ebert's review might have been true.

What was planned and what emerged were quite different animals.

When I read an Roger Ebert review and he said:

   '"Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,'' not only the best of the three Mad Max 
movies, but one of the best films of 1985'


I knew that I could never trust another word that came out of his mouth.

On this list, I never made it past "Shallow Hal".  I should have stopped 
when I realized that according to Bruce, there have only been 5 classic 
films made in the new millennium.  Sounds like he needs to get out more.


If you are looking for another interesting list -- check out the imdb top

On a related note, did you ever notice that Poster collectors tend to like 
movies better if they have good posters?

From: Bruce Hershenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
As many of you know, I have seen more movies than just about anyone you 
will
ever meet! Here are a list of movies I truly consider "classic". I have 
arranged
them by date (from most recent backwards) as I know many people have a 
prejudice
against black and white movies in general and extreme prejudice against 
silent
and subtitled movies, so this puts many of those lower on the list. The 
next
time you are at the video store or on Netflix trying to decide what to 
rent, I
hope you will consider one of these VERY worthy older choices, rather 
than just

scanning the pretty mediocre "new releases".

Note that few current day movies (those of the past few years) are on my 
list.
Partly this is because I think few quality ones were made in those years, 
and
partly because it takes time to know if a film is really "classic". I 
will say
that I think today's strong emphasis on special effects (and lack of 
emphasis on

intelligent scripts) is a major factor in my lowered opinion of how many
classics are being made (and of course it may also somewhat reflect that 
I am

simply getting older, and miss the "good old days"!).

What makes for a "classic" movie? To me, it is that the movie is a 
classic OF
ITS KIND, far superior to similar movies of that type, or something that 
is "in
a class by itself" (and is an excellent movie, to boot)! I would never 
argue
that the below movies are the "best" movies ever made, so please don't 
take this

list that way!

I know many of you will recognize lots of the "older titles" as being
"classics", but realize that there are lots of the titles you won't 
recognize
that are also wonderful movies, but sadly have been largely forgotten, 
except by
major film buffs, and they are just as good as many of the best 
remembered older
titles! I welcome any suggestions of movies that deserve to be on this 
list, but

are not!

Here is the list:
2004 SIDEWAYS
2002 MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING
2001 SHALLOW HAL
2001 SPIRITED AWAY
2000 O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU
1998 THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY
1996 MARS ATTACKS
1996 SLING BLADE
1995 BABE ('95)
1995 ROB ROY ('95)
1995 TOY STORY
1994 EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN



EZ: Large list deleted



1921 ORPHANS OF THE STORM
1921 SHEIK
1916 CIVILIZATION
1915 BIRTH OF A NATION
1914 PERILS OF PAULINE ('14)

Note: If a movie has a year after the title, it is because there was one 
or more
other versions of that movie in other years, and this let's you know 
that, and

to be sure to get the correct version (for example, you don't want to
accidentally rent the awful "new" version of Planet of the Apes thinking 
you are

getting the classic "original" version!)

Re: [MOPO] FA/BINs - Latest vintage daybills and others from cinemarts

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

AOL EmailHi All
 MOPOers,

We are steadily working our way through a box of 650 daybills at the rate of 
about 25 or so a day.
Condition varies as do prices. There are some interesting titles, and in some 
cases they are actually titles that do not show up that often, and are going to 
be for strictly specialist interest, say for B westerns collectors, WW2 movie 
action collectors, British comedy collectors, film noir collectors, or even 
those with even more eclectic tastes in movie posters than my wife Mila and I 
have.

The one thing they all have in common is that they are originals and are 
available for sale to anyone who wants to bid on them.

Here's the current ones running. If the link doesn't work, then our ID is 
cinemarts

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ200QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQrdZ0QQsascsZ1QQsassZcinemarts

We have given up trying to deal with all the various time differences around 
the world when starting our auctions, so that auctions end at a "convenient 
time" (no such thing in international selling, really) so if you see something 
you like, then place a bid or set a snipe when you first see it, so you don't 
miss out. The number of emails at ends of auctions that start "I was going to 
bid, but." are becoming increasingly curious!

That's all folks!

PROOF.


Hi Bruce,

 

Thanks for letting me know about the Star Wars Spanish Style C 
printer’s proof, that it is not the only one. I have amended the listing.

 

Also, thank you….thank you…..THANK YOU!! for your free database of 
actual movie poster sales results. I do use it quite a bit. In fact, before I 
did the listing I checked your database to see if there were any recorded sales 
of Spanish Style C printers proofs and did not see any. All that is in there 
are a few entries that you sold some style C’s back in 2001 for $150.00 to 
about $500.00. Your database is incomplete in this area and does NOT say they 
were Spanish and it does NOT say they were printer’s proofs. Didn’t you just 
sell one of the regular U.S. style C proof’s with pg ratings box at one of your 
auctions recently for about $2000.00?

 

This one that I have is actually not one of the ones you sold 
previously. This, along with several other proofs I have acquired recently have 
never before been for sale.

 

As for starwarsmovieposter.com’s claim that there were only 200 Spanish 
style c’s printed, I have no reason to doubt that. Paul Wilson (who runs the 
site, and whom I spoke with before I put up the listing) knows more about Star 
Wars posters than practically anybody. He was even at Star Wars Celebration in 
L.A. last month at the request of Lucasfilm and gave a presentation about 
original Star Wars movie posters.

 

I handle more original Star Wars posters than most people (not all! ;)) 
and I have never seen one until now. They obviously don't pop up too often. 
Even the Star Wars poster book published in 2005 by Lucasfilm says it is 
extremely rare with 9 out of 10 stars for scarcity and value appreciation. 

 

 

As for the “years can go by without one of these coming up for sale”

 

That is NOT what I say.

 

Please check EVERY ONE of my auctions currently listed. I have not used 
those words for quite some time, (at least a year). I used to, but not anymore. 
What I actually say is “A LONG TIME can go by without one of these coming up 
for sale”. I don't say “YEARS”.

 

I don't see how this is misleading at all. There is no universal 
definition for “a LONG time” and I am not even saying a long time HAS gone by. 
I'm just saying it is quite possible that a long time CAN go by.

 

Some people like to make a bigger deal out of this than it actually is. 
That’s fine, but I have no plans to change it. There are plenty of people who 
don't have a problem with it and think it is quite ridiculous the amount of 
attention it gets. And, honestly, do you really think anyone is swayed by this 
statement alone to actually make a purchase or to bid higher than they normally 
would?

 

If you think this is worthy of a survey however, then by all means have 
at it.

 

Bruce, you are the king, I have nothing but the greatest respect for 
you. We don't have to see eye to eye on everything though do we?

 

For example: Awhile ago I openly banned Tom Loce from bidding on or 
buying any of my items. You know as well as I do that he constantly rips off 
newbies with minty white fake lobby card sets and inserts.

 

Why do you let Tom Loce openly

Re: [MOPO] a General Question

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Working directly in film distribution (marketing and publicity) cinema 
exhibition (programming a major circuit and selected arthouses) for a 
combined 20 plus years, along with acting as consultant on publicity and 
marketing of various films from arthouse indies to major release promotions, 
and another 15 years plus years working as a film journalist very closely 
with both marketing and publicity people, and being on first name terms with 
many major distributor senior executives and marketing people over many 
years has added a wealth of background to what I bring to my knowledge of 
film posters, their production, distribution and real availability.


I'm still working in the film industry at a much earlier stage of production 
than any of the above now, along with running Cinema Arts with my wife.


Actively seeking out old hands here in Australia who were involved in 
marketing throughout the 50s and 60s, and finding a couple of the older guys 
(now sadly deceased) who were hand litho artists and printers in the 40s and 
50s, and being able to pick their brains on such matters as hand litho 
history, print run numbers, how distributors worked with poster printers, 
how film prints were booked and worked, how posters were circulated and 
re-circulated, etc, etc has also added to my storehouse of knowledge.


It has also added an aspect to the radar when one works in the film 
business - from pre-production to all the way to knowing how to strike a 
carbon arc - and that's an increasing ability to detect the BS factor of 
many people who deal in movie posters and what they say they know about them 
in their efforts to sell them.


It is never less than entertaining.

By the way, anyone genuinely interested in film posters, their art, history 
and creation as part of the promotion of films and not just in it for the 
trophy hunting, should get a hold of Sim Branaghan's BRITISH FILM POSTERS. 
It is probably the single most important book on film posters yet published.

[MOPO] FA/FS : Vintage Australian Daybills from Cinemarts

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hello MoPoers.

We are adding around 25 daybills a day to our eBay auctions. Nothing much too 
recent, with quite a lot from the 40s 50s and 60s. Definitely worth a look 
every couple of days to see what has been added. There is about 600 different 
titles that will appear on eBay before we are done with that particular boxful.

Here's the link to the auctions. If that doesn't work, then our eBay ID is 
cinemarts.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ200QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQrdZ0QQsascsZ1QQsassZcinemartsQQsbrsrtZd

There is also more material in our eBay store, so worth checking that out as we 
will always combine shipping wherever possible

We have also added some beautiful posters (many linen backed) to our website 
this week, including some exceedingly hard to find daybills from the past 
(including JAILHOUSE ROCK, HER JUNGLE LOVE, etc) Polish posters from the 1970s 
and other delights for movie poster collectors.

You will find 3 pages of FEATURED MOVIE POSTERS here:
http://www.cinemarts.com/

And then you can take the tour around the rest of Cinema Arts using the search 
boxes and poster format search facility.


Thanks for reading, and taking a look,
Phil & Mila Edwards

Hey Jeff,
While things do get a bit thick around here at times with what seems like 
petty kvetching, remember one thing and remember it well; we are here 
because we are dorks. We are poster dweebs, and we are proud of it. Dorks 
and dweebs argue over minutiae endlessly. To do otherwise would make us 
normal people. Drink the Kool-Aid, baby, or take the next bus outta 
Jonestown..
On a more serious note...the obviously fake inserts have caused real 
problems in the hobby. Selling these things as original is, first of all, 
fraudulent and dishonest, no matter how much the perpetrators of this 
little scam muddy the waters with obfuscation and fake professors. (Don't 
ask, Jeff! You don't want to know about Professor Powers!) Secondly, the 
fear, uncertainty and doubt generated by this  highly dubious material 
devalues and casts doubt as to the authenticity of inserts that are The 
Real Deal. I've been collecting for 44 years now, and I have pretty good 
judgement for a vintage poster when I hold it in my hand, look at it with 
my eyes, and, yes, smell it with my big nose. I really love this hobby, 
and while I am not terminally angst-ridden about about this whole minty 
white vs. printed right thing, I really, really bothers me to see my 
beloved hobby's skirts sullied with this crapola.
   By the way, if you think THIS is bitchy behavior, wait until we start 
discussing alternate ways to remove tape stains! You're gonna see some fur 
fly then, buddy!
Welcome to the group, and pick up your pocket protector from Scott at the 
end of the week.

Re: [MOPO] Fake inserts, LAMP's reply to my question

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Fake inserts, LAMP's reply to my questionI am absolutely sure they are fake and 
were not produced for use in conjunction with exhibition of the films they 
represent - which is what real movie posters are actually produced for.

When these first surfaced in Australia, the Sydney movie poster store that was 
selling them tried to sell them to me as the real deal. Obviously, after so 
many years (many more than this joker had) handling movie paper it was obvious 
that the paper for these inserts was wrong, the printing lacked a certain 
finish and the whole thing didn't even pass a good sniffing test (don't all 
laugh it's still the best way to check a STAR WARS one sheet original!) I 
didn't need to start comparing how some of them had different art crops to 
absolutely bona fide originals.

He finally owned up they were what they were - repros, and that there was an 
inexhaustible supply of them.

This was the same dealer who confidently bought STAR WARS hairy belt repros and 
sold them for originals on the basis that people wouldn't know the difference. 
$5 each to buy, and sold for anything from $200 - $300 each, depending on how 
big the sucker who walked through the door was.

I can't believe we (mostly some of the other dinosaurs who graze here) are even 
having this discussion yet again about minty white inserts and trying to 
attribute credibility to them in any way, shape or form.

Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Helmut,
I apologize for the delay in response to you. Your email was just forwarded 
to me this morning. I do not read or go on any of the forums anymore for 
several reasons. 1. Our workload has reached such a level that Sue and I are 
basically trying to do the work of a full staff. We have also taken on several 
court cases that might have an effect on the hobby which has us doing a massive 
amount of research. 2. Since Hurricane Katrina, I just don't have the patience 
for a lot of debates anymore. Now, lack of common sense sends me into a frenzy. 
3. A lot of the debates on the forums just seem to be for the purpose of 
argument or mudslinging and I don't have the time or patience to get involved. 
( I guess this is a definate sign of getting old)

Now we tell people to just email me direct (my email address is everywhere 
on LAMP)... and I am more than happy to respond to any and all personal 
discussions when any type of learning (on either side) is the objective.

For your question about the 'minty whites'

I am at a disadvantage on this subject because I have never personally 
handled or compared them. BUT I have asked several dealers that I have great 
respect for what they thought. I received an indepth answer from Bruce who 
stated that he could tell the difference between them in the dark.. that the 
feel of the paper was vastly different and the 'minty whites' had the more 
slick reproduction feel.

BUT, our stance on the subject is.. that is doesn't matter what we think 
about them It's what the HOBBY thinks about them. The poster collecting 
hobby is based on pure economics. Supply and Demand. If the demand for them is 
there, then the price on them will rise no matter what anybody says... BUT if 
the hobby has determined that they are 'fakes' (whether they are or not) THEN 
the hobby will avoid them, they will not increase and re-selling will become 
difficult.

Consequently the dealers or collectors in jeopardy of purchasing them with 
the intent of reselling them are the ones that are not informed about them OR 
the ones without enough experience to know the difference. - As an example, a 
number of years ago, we were called to be an expert witness for a court case 
involving Nightmare Before Christmas US one sheets. The value was rising 
rapidly and they were fetching $100 each or more at the time. An aggressive 
collector found Nightmare Before Christmas one sheets in the Suncoast retail 
chain for $15 marked that they were 'original movie posters', so he made his 
rounds, I believe over a couple of states buying up the posters. They were 
identical from the front because they came from the original plates but they 
didn't have the numbers or Disney tag on the back for the posters that were 
issued to the theaters. The retail chain gave his money back and changed the 
stickers on their posters. The point is... the HOBBY would accept these for the 
market value and it took experience and education to tell the difference.

We believe the way to solve problems like this is through education 
Mudslinging and rock throwing only creates MORE mudslinging and rock throwing 
and then basically no one wins

  Hey, I just asked you to question the lies and you go right out and...  

  Cause, that's another whopper from the MPAA.  I go to a lot of 
preview/press-screenings here in Canada and the one thing most of them have in 
common:  body searches, metal-detectors and night-vision goggles!  Oh yeah, the 
night vision goggle thing started about 2 or 3 years ago up here.  So, either 
Variety's WAY behind in their reporting - or the MPAA's full of shit and trying 
to push some sort of new anti-consumer legislation through Congress...  
Remember, these are the people who like to spout off statistics like such and 
such percent of piracy comes from such and such a place?  Last I heard, if you 
added up all the percentages from all the countries on Earth, it comes out 
somewhere around 300% of all the world's piracy...  They're also the people who 
prevent you from seeing any movie with thrusting in it.  Cause, there's nothing 
on the entire planet more damaging to the human psyche than seeing two people 
having realistic-looking sex.  They're openly sexist (on the other hand, at 
least they aren't racist anymore).  They treat indie films considerably harsher 
than big-budget films.  Etc...

Hey Tom,
  I'm sure it is because they are based in Canada. Most of the 
reproduction houses are in Europe, mainly France and Germany. It may be that 
the laws are hard to enforce on this issue out of the states. Many of my studio 
contacts say it's just too overwhelming. To be honest, while someone is making 
money off of their image, it is still their image advertising their movie that 
is being put out there. So, in a way it's millions of dollars in free 
publicity.  Duplicating a video, DVD or CD to resell it is a different matter 
since those are primarily being produced for sale to the public to make a 
profit. Movie posters are not made for the public for sale or otherwise so the 
only money the studio is losing in that venture are the people that help 
themselves to originals at the studio, the printer or other vendors that 
utilize movie posters. In the end even those posters make it to a wall 
somewhere, again advertising that movie.
Moviegoods makes their own line of reproductions and buys repros 
from other sources. I supply Moviegoods the frames they sell on their website 
and often they ship me the posters to install in the frames. They have a nice 
line of reproductions to movies all the way back to the silents and 
conveniently printed to 27x40, not some weird size like the ones that come out 
of Europe. That allows customers to swap posters in and out of a standard size 
movie poster frame. They are made on photographic paper and in no way would you 
confuse it for an original and they don't claim otherwise. I don't know what 
type of licensing agreement they have, if any. I'm sure most of these companies 
reproducing posters don't have licensing agreements. Portal does and I'm sure 
it irks them that they have to pay those fees when all these other companies 
are out there reproducing like crazy for no fees. Just guessing.

[MOPO] FA: INVISIBLE MAN, MYSTERIOUS MR WONG, DR CYCLOPS, HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and more

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hi Everyone,
With between 1 and 6 days to run between them, we have wide range of material 
on eBay auctions right now - from LOST HIGHWAY to the INVISIBLE MAN, and from 
the original 1931 CISCO KID to Laughton's magnificent 1939 HUNCHBACK, and a 
couple of extremely rare examples of Australian one sheets at their absolute 
best - George Sanders as THE SAINT IN LONDON and the Australian classic SONS OF 
MATTHEW. The former is a fabulous stone litho with an extraordinary central 
image of Sanders, the latter a simply gorgeous and rare one sheet for one of 
the most famous of Australian films from our cinema's most important director, 
Charles Chauvel.

Also featured are two of Bela Lugosi's Monogram period films, the beautiful and 
exotic stone litho three sheet for MYSTERIOUS MR WONG from 1934, and the later 
and somewhat less evocatively titled, BOWERY AT MIDNIGHT.

Also on offer the British Quad original for the 1940 DR CYCLOPS, the first 
science fiction horror film in three strip Technicolor.

Here's the link to the auctions.

You can also check out our eBay store while you are there. Shipping always 
combined wherever possible from our eBay sales and direct from our website at

  It's a poster printed for the library circuit. I had about a dozen of these 
at one time, all different titles, but including the CK. From the 1950s, they 
came from a theater owner who sold me a few thousand posters, and he told me 
what these were. Back in the 50s, they would provide films for the schools and 
libraries to show to the kids during summer.  These posters were provided to 
help publicize the library showings.

2001I'm pretty sure that 2001 was the last film that SK let anyone have final 
say over any and all materials issued, other than him or totally trusted 
assistants. The daft lobby cards must have pissed of Stan the man enormously 
when so much of the other materials were so superb such as the jumbo lobby set, 
for example, the 3D counter cards and 3D one sheets, and the core artworks by 
Bob McCall.

Indeed Kubrick later intensely disliked any press stills or lobby cards that 
were not direct frame enlargements or completely overseen/approved by himself.

As a great stills photographer himself and perfectionist in all areas of his 
craft and art, it's easy to understand this.

Oddly enough, some of the best BTS stills taken on the STRANGELOVE shoot were 
done by the great Weegee.

There was an entire run of FMJ "US one sheets" that were actually printed in 
the UK so SK could oversee the printing.

  Looking at this 2001 lobby card, it made me wonder (as it does every time I 
look at this lobby card)...what made the photo colorist think that Keir Dullea 
wore a green spacesuit with a pink control panel? Don't you think he/she would 
check with the art director or someone at the studio? I don't remember what the 
exact colors were, but I'm fairly certain they didn't include pink.

  In a 1980 interview, Julian Senior, Kubrick's publicity director, said 
"Stanley refuses to have a stills photographer standing beside him taking 
photographs of every scene. In his opinion, the photograph which best 
represents a shot from the film is one enlarged from the print itself." That's 
fine, but if you're going to be that finicky, shouldn't you make sure the 
photos don't have pink control panels?

[MOPO] FA: cinemarts weekly auctions feature Down Under theme

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hi everyone,
So a result - one of many - of the Mother of All Sort Outs of Folded Posters 
starts to show up this week on our weekly auctions which due to the sheer 
volume of folded one sheets, photosheets, daybills and odd-sized folded 
posters will spread over the next 10 days or so is a recurrent theme - which 
is original posters for Australian and New Zealand films.


There is or will be Australian and NZ posters for Australian and NZ films, 
US and international posters for Australian and NZ films and any combination 
I may have overlooked. Most of this material we have never offered before. 
We are quite proud of the amount of material we have accumulated for 
Australian films overall, and they reach from before the New Wave of the 
late 1970s to recent and current titles.


Mixed in with this ongoing project of the next two-three weeks will be some 
interesting exploitation one sheets for films that some of you may never 
have heard of!


Take a look, and bookmark us with a check in every few days as we are 
working to an as time permits schedule right now.


Thanks for taking a look and even if you don't bid, then enjoy the posters.
Oh, and we also have some nice jazz CDs running as well!

Re: [MOPO] Monroe's Last Film

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Well, a belated two cents on various aspects

Cent 1: I doubt Fox would have issued a set of cards until a rough cut was done 
- as even then having scenes on cards that were not in the finished film would 
be problematic. It's rare enough to find publicity stills (produced in greater 
abundance than lobby sets) of deleted scenes or shots that didn't make the 
final cut. Besides, Fox were having difficulties with MM from early on in the 
shoot, no? 

Cent 2: While I think these are exactly like what they smell like, running 
previously printed sheets through for a one-colour overprint addition to white 
borders was and is possible.

Cent 3: (okay, overspending) See Cent 2.

Photoshop and 4 colour midnight grants in backwater towns = the bootleggers 
friends.

  Do any of you have the DVD The Final Days? They mention 500 minutes of 
footage, MM being fired from the film, Dino deciding he wasn't going to do the 
film if they replaced MM with another actress, Fox changing their mind and 
would resume filming, MM suicide or was it? Anyhow, with the footage they had, 
a 37 minute short version of the film is shown on the DVD.

  However, I don't think Fox would have thrown the switch on the lobby

  another sign against this coming through Fox Marketing.  You would
  expect a Monroe image from the film as a repeated element for the
  advertising campaign. 
  But heck - I've been wrong before.
  I sure would like to feel the paper - probably good make a much better

Re: [MOPO] Two important announcements from eMoviePoster.com

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Yes, there are now pages of complaints on the eBay boards about the 
Turbolister glitch, that has caused lots of people problems outside of the 
shipping destinations option including having HTML templates stripped, 
images lost etc, etc.


There are literally hundreds if not thousands of sellers that are 
experiencing the same problem out there and doubtless it's costing them 
sales.


The odd thing is that so far I haven't seen a single word from eBay on the 
subject - and it's a problem that's at least a week old.


What have they told you Bruce about the problem? I'm sure I'm not the only 
MOPO member who is a seller as well as a buyer who'd like to hear the 
excuses they have provided.


Best,
Phil

Subject: [MOPO] Two important announcements from eMoviePoster.com


I want to make all MoPo members aware of two important announcements 
concerning eMoviePoster.com:


1) There was a weird eBay "glitch" this week!  We use their "Turbo Lister" 
tool to list our items, and it caused the shipping column on all of this 
week's items to read "United States only"!  Of course, this is incorrect, 
as WE GLADLY SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, just as we have always done. 
eBay had no "fix" for this, EXCEPT for manually changing each auction 
one-by-one.  But their system does not let us change auctions that have 
bids, so we were only able to correct approximately 700 of the 1,096 
items.  But we want you to be aware that we will send ALL of the 1,096 
items anywhere in the world, regardless of what the shipping column reads 
(and this will always be true for our auctions).


2) We now have an important new "backup" for our 
Current Auction 
Image Gallery!  A high percentage of our bidders have discovered that it 
is FAR easier to look at our items through our 
Current Auction 
Image Gallery.
   But because so many of our bidders now use our gallery, on rare 
occasions it has overwhelmed our server, and some of our bidders have not 
been able to access it, especially right when the auctions are closing. 
Worse yet, this outage in our server means that you can't see the images 
on our eBay auctions, because our large and super-sized images are housed 
on the same server as our 
Current Auction 
Image Gallery.
THEREFORE, WE HAVE CREATED A 
BACKUP "MIRROR" 
VERSION OF OUR CURRENT AUCTION IMAGE GALLERY.  It is located at 
http://www.emovieposter.info/gallery/currentauctions.php 
.  This is housed on a completely different server, and will always be 
available.  The only time you want to use it, however, is whenever you 
CAN'T access our regular 
Current Auction 
Image Gallery, OR when you can't view the larger images on our auctions. 
PLEASE ADD 
http://www.emovieposter.info/gallery/currentauctions.php 
TO YOUR FAVORITES/BOOKMARKS.  You will likely either never need it, or 
only use it once, but if you are a regular bidder in our auctions, it will 
be invaluable to you the day you DO need it, for you will be able to see 
all of our large images, and use this "mirr!
or" version of our Current Auction Image Gallery, even though the main 
version is unavailable.


Thanks to those of our 26,600+ customers who are also MoPo members!

Bruce

[MOPO] FA: cinemarts weekly eBay auctions and Stills Gallery Update

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hi Everyone,

Just a note to let you know we have 380 plus items on eBay auctions this week, 
ranging from lobby sets, daybills, arthouse and indie one sheets, non-English 
language posters, Hong Kong action lobby cards, and a wonderful selection of 
1920s PHOTOPLAYER PORTRAIT GALLERY supplements. These were original included as 
loose leaf insert to the British PHOTOPLAYER magazine and are rarely still in 
the magazines when they show up (rare in itself these days!). Fortunately we 
uncovered a collection of just the Portrait Supplements and many great stars of 
the mid-to-late 1920s and early 30s are included. Definitely a treat for lovers 
silent cinema and early talkies to browse through.

As always, eBay purchases can be combined with shipping along with our 
www.cinemarts.com inventory and our new stills gallery at 
http://www.cinemart.nelsonbay.com/

Our eBay user ID is cinemarts if this link doesn't work, and remember you can 
use our carefully cross-referenced eBay Store search engine to find specific 
items of specialised interest in both the store and on auction.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ200QQfrtsZ0QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQrdZ0QQsascsZ1QQsassZcinemarts

As other sellers have noted this week, there is a glitch in Turbolister that 
shows that sellers listing on eBay only ship to US, and while we've tried to 
accommodate this problem with a special notation, rest assured that we do 
indeed SHIP WORLDWIDE!

Thanks for taking a look,
Regards,
Phil & Mila

[MOPO] FA: CINEMARTS WEEKLY EBAY AUCTIONS

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hi Everyone,
Just a note to let you know we have uploaded our weekly auctions, with over 300 
items from Polish posters through original stills, and a bunch of sexploitation 
daybills, an artform unto themselves, really. It's a kind of FROM ARTHOUSE TO 
OUTHOUSE collection this week. 

As usual you can combine shipping from the auctions and our eBay store. 
Speaking of which, we have also just revamped the eBay store with a slew of new 
categories so searching and browsing using the store's own engine is now a lot 
more easier.

We will also combine eBay auctions and BINs with items from our website to make 
the shipping as economical as possible, but without compromising our solid 
packaging.

Thanks for taking a look. Here's the link to auctions. From there, just click 
on the eBay store icon for further browsing using the store search engine 
and/or store categories. Our ID is cinemarts if this link fails you!

Re: [MOPO] YOU HAVE TO GET ONE BRITISH FILM POSTER HISTORY

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hi all,
there is a thread on NSFGE that covers some interesting background on this book.
I'm sure it's wonderful, but I wouldn't disregard Tony Nourmand's numerous 
books, nor indeed Bruce Hershenson's numerous books of film poster images.

If you can't afford or find all the posters one wants, then having the images 
in books is the next best thing, isn't it?

I'm old enough to remember when John Kobal's massive spiral bound poster book 
came out and delighted poster collectors worldwide - despite its somewhat 
scrappy presentation and images culled from numerous sources.

A book on quads is long, long overdue and this one does indeed look and sound 
terrific.

Re: [MOPO] Subtitles

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

The first subtitled film I ever saw was SEVEN SAMURAI, the 205 minute 
version (because the print was an original from Japan brought in by the then 
distributors here because they believed in such stuff), in 35mm at a 
screening by the film society at Sydney University one Saturday afternoon. 
It was about 1964... I was certainly no older than a young 15 at any rate.


I'd read about this "great movie" in several movie history books I had been 
devouring since I was about 10 or 11. I thought I'd better get myself along 
to see one of these "foreign films" I'd been reading about. I thought it was 
going to be a chore. You know - you have to see this because it's "art" and 
famous and film history. I figured I'd be bored stiff. And you know, it was 
sub-titled... one of those fillums with writing down the bottom of the 
screen. I only found out when I got there that it was well over 3 hours... 
sheesh.


So I emerged 205 minutes later totally gob-smacked. After 10 minutes I 
hadn't even realised that I was watching and reading simultaneously. If 
there's anyway I can see a film in its original language with subtitles, 
then that's what I'll go for - whatever it is.

In non-English films in general, the quality of the subtitles is sometimes 
an issue for me.  It is often apparent that what is being said in the film 
and what the subtitles say are not the same thing.  Much can be lost.


I am fully aware of the limitations of subtitles, but I do think that 
sometimes the standard could be raised.  It is an art in itself really.

The characteristic about both films:  Letters from Iwo Jima and Apocalypto 
is that they are much like silent films and you can follow them easily. 
There isn't heavy dialogue and yet it has made both films quite 
compelling.

[MOPO] FA and FS: One sheets, daybills, lobby cards and the rest on eBay

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hello Everybody,

We now have over 300 BUY IT NOW items (not long-running store items, but 
genuine BINs for a week) on our eBay listings.

Lots of one sheets, daybills and assorted other items, all movie-related. Just 
about something for everyone.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfasiZ1QQfrppZ200QQfsooZ2QQfsopZ2QQrdZ0QQsascsZ2QQsassZcinemartsQQsbrbinZt


We also have a handful of auction items (click the AUCTIONS tab on the 
cinemarts list page) including WINGS OF DESIRE and DINGO French one panels, 
both generally considered the nicest pieces on both these films, and the latter 
a great MILES DAVIS piece.

Our eBay user ID is cinemarts if the above link doesn't work.

Thanks for reading and taking a look. We'll always combine shipping of items 
from eBay sales and our website at www.cinemarts.com

Best wishes,

[MOPO] FA: Latest eBay auctions fron cinemarts - daybills, quads, French one panels, etc

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Hello Everybody,

Due to the vagaries of eBay (currently in one of those discussions) a complete 
list of our current auctions that are featured on both eBay US and eBay UK can 
only be viewed through the eBay UK site.

Well, whether listed in US dollars, or pounds sterling, or whatever, they are 
all available worldwide. It's our usual eclectic range of US, Australian and 
non-English language material, including some classics in the latter area.

Here's a link to the UK listings. Hopefully eBay will sort out the glitch, but 
in the meantime, thanks for reading and taking a look at our current offerings, 
all of which can be seen through the UK site listings.

Our eBay ID is cinemarts. Ending times currently range from 2 to 5 days.

Re: [MOPO] PENGUINS Vs 007

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Looking at the relative box office of the dancing penguins and sexy secret 
agent, the one thing that comes to mind is the relative running times. HAPPY 
FEET clocks in around 90 mins (so what is it - IMDB shows the US having a 
shorter run time than rest of world), the Bond  almost an hour longer at 144 
mins.


Anybody got a breakdown of number of sessions/ screens across the US? Of 
course no one is going to know how many flop flicks in THEIR dogs days had 
sessions canned so they could loop the prints into other houses for session 
overflows.


Hollywood math. A world of its own.

Re: [MOPO] second chance offers

Claude - first time I've heard of legit second chance offers on items still 
running from other sellers, and especially on items you are already committed to 
a bid?!
 
They sound like bogus or targeted physh/spoof emails to me. Do they show up 
in your My eBay messages as well? If not, then certainly don't hit on anything 
in those emails.
 
If they do, Bruce or any seller would have reason to be mighty ticked

Re: [MOPO] The Candidate "McKay Is The Way" Orig US Poster---Probably a prop from film

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

My two cents (and at the current rate of Australian 
cents, that's about US1.5 cents) is that these may well have been produced 
for wilding at the time of the film's release as an intriguing gimmick ballyhoo 
poster. Having been pasted up everywhere, few survived.

  Hi, Rick, Freeman et. al.  from Joe B in New Orleans.
   
  While thumbing through my copy of Robert Osborne's (Turner Classic Movies 
  host amongst other accomplishments) 70 Years of Oscar book I came across a 
  still from "The Candidate."  
  It shows Robert Redford at a podium giving what must be a campaign

  On the podium below Redford is what may well be the very same

Hi, Everyone,
 
  I received a very nice email from my friend and colleague, 
Freeman Fisher, pointing out that this poster was most likely a prop used in 
the film, not an alternate poster which had any widespread release.  
Undoubtedly, I would assume this adds to its scarcity and value.  Until 
I heard from Freeman, this never crossed my mind (although it definitely 
should have, since I've been in this hobby for so many years).  Maybe 
this explains why the same poster sold for such a high amount in Christie's 
Auction a few years ago (over $600).  I want to thank Freeman for his 
continued insight (one of the truly helpful people in the hobby).  I've 
included the link below if you want to take another look at the poster with 
this new explanation as to the poster's origin.  Thank you again, 
Freeman.  With your knowledge and humor, I really believe you're one of 
the true linchpins of the MoPo community.

Re: [MOPO] Ebay "visits" counters set back to zero on my 3 auctions

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Rod - eBay counters have never been the same since eBay took over from 
Andale.
We've noticed totally erratic numbers, including absurdly high numbers of 
visits on what are basically mundane items... 400-500 hits on a SHAWSHANK 
REDEMPTION one sheet, or ELIZABETH one sheet.

It's a pattern most noticeable on newly listed items.
Listed things last week, and within a few seconds of listing, some items 
were showing up to 10 hits each, others were at a minimum of 3. None were 
zero.


I don't believe their "watching" numbers, either. Simple programming helps 
give eBay the allusion of lots more activity in "looking and watching"than 
there really is.

Re: [MOPO] Best poster find.....

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Sometimes the "best" poster find doesn't relate to 
dollar value at all. Finding a bargain (i.e. a valuable poster at a cheap price) 
has never compared - for me at least - finding something of rarity and interest, 
or a piece that has some sort of particular personal appeal. Sometimes the two 
go together. They don't always have to.

Sorry, got to dispute that call. One example of a 1920's poster (which in 
all likelihood did not use the type of inks used in most posters of later 
decades) that faded in 5 days of soft light against the hundreds of 
thousands of poster that have hung on the walls of collectors for years 
and not faded? One rare example does not a theory prove. Are we to believe

Dario, JR, and "The Dude" (a phantom of the poster world, sometimes

I've seen a linen backed 1920 three sheet fade by 50% in just five days
of soft and indirect English sunlight when some idiot forgot to shut the
curtains during the day while they were out and the sun fell  through a
lace curtain on it.

Due to the numerous factors involved in fading - such as inks used, the
printing process involved, the paper quality, the type of light involved
(natural sunlight, neon, etc, etc) absolutes are impossible. Far, far
better to be safe than sorry.

While I think Nathalie maybe doing a bit of a belts and braces job
there, when it comes to really valuable vintage paper (and value is in
the eye of the owner/beholder, not the VISA bill) I think it's
commendable to be too safe rather than extremely sorry.

Put one on the scoreboard for the Nathalie/Dario team from Down Under on
the subject.

Disney has been particulallry successful in this area with the numerous

and make it the number one film. However, a very vocal but ultimately 
small fanbase does not necessarily excite everyone else into watching. 
Opening at about $10 million, with a total of $39 worldwide it was 
considered a complete loss.
 
But that rabid fanbase came out in force for the DVD. It sold more

There is also a matter of booking agents that can be thrown into
the mix and can alter everything. I know the closest theater to me
has an agent that works a deal where studios get 65% of the first
two weeks. If a distributor will not go for this then they will
not show the film. The booking agent of course gets paid a fee for
negotiating this but it's well worth it. This theater doesn't show
any movie for more than four weeks (it's a matter of number of
screens) and for weeks three and four the studios receive 30%. I
have been involved with the financial side of this theater and
that's the way it operates. This was true for Kong, DaVinci, Lion
the Witch and Wardrobe, Cars, as well as Descent and John Tucker
Must Die, big films and small films alike.
 
Will this be different for other theaters and other distributors?

Yes. But at that theater if they won't do that deal they won't
show the movie. A resource to find out more about that end of the
business is here.

Some distributors actually demand an up front advance on what the

box office is likely to be. But that's generally for event films
and theaters don't mind paying it, they'll get it back in the end
if not through tickets then through popcorn. Of course, with the
declining health of event films some are starting to drag their
feet on this, and for good reason.
 
This is all thrown out the window when it comes to foreign

distribution. They operate in their own world. Even someone as big
as Paramount doesn't distribute in most countries and they use
foreign distributors that are going to take about 15-25% in
addition to what the theater takes. And this isn't just for a
country like Chad, this is for countries like the UK.
 
MI3 had a $40 million marketing budget and a $150 million

production budget. A studio is going to walk away with about 40%
of foreign distribution and about 55% of domestic.
 
So rounding to $104 million from foreign and $73 million domestic.

Sumner Redstone
Gives Tom Cruise
His Walking Papers

Star Alienated Paramount;
His Production Company
Now May Go Independent

By *MERISSA MARR*
August 23, 2006; Page A1

As a nearly untouchable star for most of his 25-year movie career, Tom 
Cruise isn't used to Hollywood studios showing him the door. But after 
a year of Mr. Cruise's controversial and sometimes odd public 
behavior, the studio he has long called home is ushering him off the lot.


[Tom Cruise]

In an unusually public rebuke, *Viacom* Inc. Chairman Sumner Redstone 
said that his company's movie studio, Paramount Pictures, plans to end 
its 14-year relationship with the 44-year-old Mr. Cruise and his 
film-production company. In an interview, Mr. Redstone, who is 83, was 
clear about the reason: Mr. Cruise's public antics and incessant 
stumping for personal causes, notably Scientology, have become 
intolerable and have been a drag on ticket sales for films like 
"Mission: Impossible III."


"It's nothing to do with his acting ability, he's a terrific actor," 
said Mr. Redstone. "But we don't think that someone who effectuates 
creative suicide and costs the company revenue should be on the lot."


As a consequence, Paramount will not renew the expensive deal that has 
made the studio home to Cruise/Wagner Productions, the company Mr. 
Cruise owns with partner Paula Wagner. That deal in recent years paid 
Mr. Cruise and Ms. Wagner up to $10 million a year to develop films 
and operate an office on the Paramount lot. Mr. Cruise's 
representatives had indicated in recent weeks that the star might be 
willing to discuss a less-lucrative deal to stay at the studio. But 
now they are parting ways.


"As much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew 
his deal," Mr. Redstone said. "His recent conduct has not been 
acceptable to Paramount."


After being contacted by The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Cruise's 
representatives presented a different version of events. They said 
that Mr. Cruise's production company had decided to set up an 
independent operation financed by two top hedge funds, which they 
declined to name. Ms. Wagner said such an arrangement represented a 
new business model for top actors prominent enough to take advantage 
of the flood of money coming into Hollywood from Wall Street.


"This is a dream of Tom and mine," Ms. Wagner said. She challenged Mr. 
Redstone's assertion that Mr. Cruise's behavior had cost the studio 
ticket sales, pointing out that the star's movies have made the studio 
a huge amount of money.


Mr. Cruise's agent, Rick Nicita of Creative Artists Agency, said Mr. 
Cruise was "offended" upon learning of Mr. Redstone's comments. "This 
was done in an incredibly graceless way," he said.


The differing accounts of the split between Paramount and Mr. Cruise 
are a climax to more than a year of controversies that have badly 
dented Mr. Cruise's public image and, for the first time, called into 
question his once-unchallenged star power. Those events included Mr. 
Cruise's relentless promotion of the Church of Scientology, the 
religion founded by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.


On NBC's Today show last summer, Mr. Cruise launched a sermon about 
the evils of antidepressants, taking a swipe at actress Brooke Shields 
who wrote about her use of the medicine to help cope with postpartum 
depression in her book "Down Came the Rain." Scientology is opposed to 
modern psychiatry and its medications.


Open criticism of powerful stars was once rare in Hollywood. But 
celebrity clout has declined with the industry itself. The burgeoning 
celebrity press has overexposed big stars like Mr. Cruise and put a 
harsh spotlight on their every move, as seen in the scandal over Mel 
Gibson's drunk-driving incident in Malibu last month.


[Sumner Redstone]

Mr. Redstone's hard line signals the lack of patience studios have 
these days with expensive deals that don't deliver. Studios have been 
curbing profit-sharing deals and pulling out of costly movies. Even 
Jim Carrey, once one of 

Re: [MOPO] Behind the Blow

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

JR - "Hollywood Accounting" is difficult to comprehend from the 
beginning of a budget of a studio film before a frame is shot or a 
hammer hits a nail in set construction, never mind at the end.


There is no such thing as a "straight forward formula".

At a very basic level, you go to the movies and you get a generic ticket 
stub that does not have the name of the movie on it through computer 
ticketing system. These systems are notoriously pesky and can break down 
very easily, apparently. Especially during peak times when a lot of 
traffic is going through and a lot of people are paying in cash.


How do you know that the money you just handed over for the ticket for 
THAT movie is actually going into the box office for THAT movie and not 
A. Nother movie?


It is a very interesting business. Indeed it is. Any business where a 
film can be the "top grossing" film for the week and still be deemed "a 
disaster" is pretty interesting. It's only when one delves deeper into 
per-screen averages versus prints in the marketplace that any sort of a 
real picture emerges.

JR wrote:


A question:

Does anyone have any idea how much of the "box-office take" the studio which puts out the 
film gets? We are always tossing around box-office numbers as if the studio gets all of that money, 
but obviously this can't be so. I can't recall seeing any information on how much of the cost of a 
ticket gets back to the studio? I know that classic "Hollywood accounting" make it 
impossible to tell how much a film eventually makes, but surely there must be some relatively 
straight-forward way or formula for getting the money from the box-office back to the studio?

Re: [MOPO] WSJ: Paramount terminates ties with Tom Cruise

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

 "His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."

That's a very odd turn of phrase coming from Redstone in what is simply 
- it would seem - a business decision.
The question arises, exactly what behaviour would he be talking about? I 
doubt very much that TC's Oprah outburst
and misjudged comments on anti-depressant drugs from his Scientology 
background would actually mean that much in the big scheme of things. 
Movie stars are saying and doing dumb-ass things all the time.


And while MI:3 was less than successful, it will still show on the 
profit side at the end of the day for Paramount.


The "recent conduct" referred to may well be something that isn't public 
knowledge at all, or may never be, if indeed it is

anything specific at all.

One can only wonder why the Redstone statement needed any kind of 
qualifier like this. Business deals  get reviewed all the
time at contract time and it would have been sufficient to say that 
Paramount were not renewing their contract with Cruise Wagner 
Productions. The most common reason that previously successful such 
deals have not been renewed at contract time is that one side or the 
other wants more than the other is prepared to concede. Making a 
specific statement about "recent conduct" which is no more odd than what 
many Hollywood stars get up to is very strange indeed.

Hollywood has always been about "what have you done for me lately?" -- 
but this is ridiculous. It was only 1 year ago that Tom Cruise starred 
in WAR OF THE WORLDS which was one of last summer's mega-hits. Since 
then, the god-awful MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III came out. Clearly Cruise 
did nothing "controversial" enough between the release of those two 
films to cause audiences to turn against him personally as an actor. 
The difference was that one film was worth watching and the other 
wasn't. On the other hand, I expect Cruise will land on his feet and 
go on to make many more hundreds of millions in other films, they just 
won't be Paramount's. It's a very odd world where a billion-dollar 
corporation makes critical financial decisions based on the sort of 
things cited against Cruise in this article. How shocking! He bounced 
up and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch (the bastard!)... he criticized 
drug abuse (in an incompetent way, yes, but that's clearly what he was 
talking about)... and he talked about Scientology (so did John 
Travolta and many others).

*Paramount Ends Relationship
With Tom Cruise's Company*

By MERISSA MARR, WALL STREET JOURNAL
August 22, 2006 6:43 p.m.

Viacom  
Inc. Chairman Sumner Redstone said his company's Paramount Pictures is 
terminating its 14-year relationship with actor Tom Cruise's 
production company, citing the actor's controversial and sometimes 
erratic behavior of the past year.


Mr. Cruise, the star of Paramount hits like "Mission: Impossible," 
"Top Gun" and "Days of Thunder," has based his moviemaking company, 
Cruise/Wagner Productions, on the Paramount lot since 1992.


But in the past year, Mr. Cruise's star has fallen in the wake of a 
series of public incidents in which he stumped for his faith in the 
Church of Scientology; severely criticized the use of antidepressant 
drugs; and engaged in sometimes offbeat behavior, such as jumping up 
and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch to proclaim his love for actress 
Katie Holmes.


Paramount now believes that Mr. Cruise's behavior hurt the box office 
of his most recent film, "Mission: Impossible III." Now, Mr. Redstone 
said he wants to sever the studio's connection to its biggest star.


"As much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew 
his deal," Mr. Redstone said in an interview with the Wall Street 
Journal. "His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."


A spokeswoman for Cruise/Wagner Productions declined to comment.

Saul,
It's what some people like at the end of a long hard day, or sometimes 
first thing in the morning, or on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Re: [MOPO] SHOW OF FEET -- Life is short...

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

The Hildebrandt artwork was used on the quad, which 
was withdrawn once Lucas saw and approved the character driven Chantrell art. 
Most were trashed, but some got out into the maketplace and now commands serious 
consideration.
 
The art was also used on the commercially licensed 
1977 Factors Etc poster, one of which we sold on eBay in the last couple of 
weeks (a search will turn it up).
 
If I'm not mistaken, isn't that Spanish languge one 
sheet also printed in the US, Steve? We have a simlar advance Spanish language 
one sheet for the film, also printed in the US.
 
My understanding is that as well as designed for 
use in Spanish language territories as an international until local printings 
were done, they were also used in Spanish speaking areas of southern CA, Texas, 
and other border areas in the US where Spanish is the predominant 
language.
 
Same thing happened in Melbourne, Australia in 50s 
and 60s where both Greek dubbed and subtitled prints and Greek language posters 
for major American flms were used to satisfy the very large Greek community in 
Melbourne. Interesting to note that for some time (and perhaps still the case) 
that Melbourne's Greek population was the largest in the world outside Athens 
(Greece).

  Steve,
   
  Actually, the Hildebrant artwork also appeared on the original 1977 
  British Quad style A... also on some "15th anniversary" 27x41 posters 
  released in 1992 (but I am confused as to whether or not the 1992 posters were 
  ever used for theatrical display... one of them even has "A NEW HOPE" logo in 
  place of the normal "STAR WARS" logo... weird...). But it's true that the 
  Hildebrandt artwork is much harder to find than the Jung, and I think $93 
  was a very good price indeed. I like the Hildebrandt artwork better than the 
  Jung myself.
   
  It should also be noted that LucasFilm used the Hildebrant artwork in 
  1977 on a promotional poster they were selling to retailers 
  for over-the-counter sales (it was sized kind of like an insert, but a 
  bit wider and not as long). I had a record shop in 1977 and ordered several 
  boxes of them direct from LucasFilm and was selling them for $3 bucks each. 
  Oddly, I have never seen one of these odd-size but very nice-looking 
  posters offered on eBay... I wonder what happened to them all? 
  I wish I had keep several boxes of 'em in storage. ..

  Since I was the one who bought it, can I confirm that this is the only 
  original poster that had the Hildebrandt artwork on it?  I really enjoy 
  the artwork on this poster vs. the Jung artwork.  Although the Jung is 
  fairly classic, the Hildebrandt has something about it that I really 
  like.  Can't wait to get his one linen-backed and on the wall. 
   
  Was this a good price?  It seems as though I got it for a good 
  price.  
   
  As to all the debate, I too was sucked in, thinking it a US onesheet, and 
  when I do I generally just blow it off and try to ignore it - it's a selling 
  tactic to get people to look at your auction, and though I may disagree with 
  it, it happens all the time, and won't ever go away, so I just deal with it 
  and go back to whatever else I was looking at, and not lose sleep over it, 
  that's for sure. 
   
  By the way, eBay did already refund my listing fees, so it looks like 
  I'll have to relist the item, darnit.  I do have a phone number for eBay 
  that's been very handy lately, so I think I'll give 'em another call to see if 
  I can light a fire under their butts to get my auction relisted.

This guy Rick can't win.
 
People have asked for direct links to auction items to save 
them time. That's what he did, for an item that (heaven forbid) isn't a US 
language one sheet.
 
So he used BOLD. BFD.
 
So he paid eBay for the use of BOLD and that's why his link 
was bold. BFD.
 
Not all sellers who list enormous numbers of items feel they 
want to pay eBay to have a thumbnail for every single item they list. Fine don't 
ever go look at their auctions. No thumbnail, can't be any good, seller is 
obviously HIDING SOMETHING. Easy - avoid all their items.
 
You don't like Rick, then block his email address and you 
won't get his posts via email.
 
Some of you are carrying on like Rick did something seriously 
wrong. I am astonished at the behaviour of some of the people on this forum. JR, 
you don't like Rick - that makes him a "jerk"? 
 
Claude you see a ruse or connivance under everything that

  I am a great believer in the use of the English language as it 
  can be very persuasive in getting one's point across while at the same time, 
  improper use can cause the reverse effect.  Adjectives such as "jerk" 
  inflame without really making the necessary point.  I believe that had 
  such words as misleading or deceiving been used in lieu of jerk a better point 
  may have been made and I am certain this is the connotation which JR meant in 
  his email.  There are others who also do this but they don't flood mopo 
  with their misleading wares.
   
  When a person advertises posters in bold letters as a ruse to get 
  you to look at his posters he is a deceiver.  Take a look at all of his 
  auctions and you will note the deliberate omission of a small picture of each 
  poster in the main listings.  This "bait" advertising forces you to click 
  on the listing and lo and behold, it is not a US poster.  Note listings 
  stating "rare style" and they are most always foreign posters.
   
  I fully agree with JR's frustrations with these types of sellers 
  and have developed my own searching methods which include (most of the time) 
  not to look at sellers who bait you with language such as his and deliberately 
  omit pictures.  It makes searching easier, faster and less 
  frustrating.

I don't mind seeing his listings. If you don't 
enjoy or are not interested in any members posts you can just hit "delete" and 
not be bothered, or in extremis block their email address. But then of course 
you might actually miss something interesting - either offered or just offered

Re: [MOPO] Great movie, Bad poster....Bad movie, Great poster

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

And along with the daybill version of the red profile was the composite 
colour shots one sheet in Australia from THE GODFATHER.


I'd have to agree that the red profile  UK one sheet is the one to have, 
though. Well, it's the one I bothered to keep, anyway.


And as far as the US was concerned, the book was the DA VINCI CODE of 
the day. A classic trash read and genuine page-turner that had the sniff 
that it was written by someone who had some inside scope to the Mob, 
unlike DA VINCI which was just re-hashed from other and far more thought 
provoking books. DA VINCI is kind of THE CELESTINE PROPHECY of its 
period. Or maybe CHARIOTS OF THE GODS.

The Godfather US campaign went witrh the fact that it was a number one

However in Europe and the rest of the world the book was less known. 
So the guy in charge of publicity in the UK was against the main 
campaign from the US and came up with the red profile of Brando on 
black background. The rest of Europe liked it as did Australia.
 
For me thye UK and Eurpean campaign for The Godfather leaves us with 
one of the best posters of that era.
 
Good movie bad poster one that comes up in my mind is the US and UK 
campaign for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Licence to Kill had one 
of the worst campaigns but for me a great 007 film.

Re: [MOPO] "King Kong" gets an extended cut

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Funny how some films polarise opinion... and blind it.

EYES WIDE SHUT did the same thing. Loveed, hated it. Not a lot in between.

KING KONG was not a "bust". It made a fortune, and it won the Oscars for 
which it was nominated. No, not successful at all. But for some reason, 
people either hated it or loved it.. or liked it, but those who hated it 
did what they usually do. They disparaged everything about it and it's 
director. After LOTR, anything Jackson did was going to be a victim of 
tall poppy syndrome.


And  a lot of people hated KONG long before they saw it. They were 
always going to hate, no matter what it was like. Heck, don't you go 
RE-MAKING a "classic", ya hear? Spielberg copped the same thing over WAR 
OF THE WORLDS, except that wasn't as MUCH of a "classic" as KONG, so he 
only got half the bucket tipped on him and also made a thoroughly 
modern and disturbing version of Wells' book, and like Wells (if not 
George Pal) utilised the SF genre for social comment.


Jackson planned KING KONG long before LOTR, but Disney came out with 
MIGHTY JOE YOUNG and put big gorilla pictures on the nose. Jackson put 
KONG on the backburner and then Jackson had to fight (initially) to get 
LOTR made as he wanted it to - as a trilogy - He proved he knew what he 
was doing. And that let him make KONG the way he wanted. Like LOTR (each 
chapter) Jackons' "version" suffered a fatal "flaw". The amount of mylar 
film coud not fit on a single platter at a multiplex, and he was under 
the usual pressure to deliver a shorter film so more sessions (even 
staggered over multiple print bookings) could be run to make the candy 
bar receipts flourish. Film is an art/entertainment medium that is 
dictated by the size of platter on the projectors... and how many times 
a day exhibitors can get people past that candy bar and buy that 2000% 
marked-up crap.


I suspect Jackon's new film will hark back to something like HEAVENLY 
CREATURES, which remains the "forgotten" Peter Jackson film. And that's 
full of SPFX, except unless you know where to look, or for the obvious 
fantasy scenes, they serve the plot and characters.


People who have a big success are always headed for a "fall". Why do you 
think James Cameron hasn't directed since TITANIC? How do you follow one 
of the biggest films ever - a film that generated huge repeat business - 
and is now thought as "uncool" by all those who loved it then, saw it 
2-3-4 times It's called GWTW-itis.


I guess the thing that I find disappointing is the way people can be so 
openly contemptuous of the talent and success of others in the  film 
making arena. I'm sure there are a few silent MOPO members who actually 
work in film making in some capacity, and actually know how hard the 
whole process is.



As for $207 million budget if you don't know how studio accounting 
practices work

koose,
 
Even though I personally rated Jackson's KONG to be a 7 out of 10 when 
it hit the theaters (on IMDb some 62,252 votes put it as 7.8 out of

it at #36 on the list of all time top money makers world-wide. Box 
Office Mojo reports its production budget at $207 million and the 
world-wide box-office take (not counting DVD sales) at $549,216,896 --

... heck, even if they spent another $100 million on promotion, 
everyone involved did much better than just "break even" (except 
perhaps by Hollywood accounting standards). If you figure in the DVD 
money, I think they probably did very well, maybe getting 3 bucks back 
for every 1 they spent. Only in today's Hollywood, where if you don't 
make back at least 5 bucks for every dollar spent can a movie that 
brings in over half a billion dollars at the box office be somehow 
considered a "bust". People have got awfully greedy recently.
 
I'm not about to be suckered into popping for no 3-disc set, but I'll 
definitely Netflix this extended edition when it comes out. I'd love 
for the added material to be good enough to allow me to bump my rating 
up to at least 8 out of 10 if not higher. That was certainly the case 
with Jackson's LORD OF THE RINGS films... the extended DVD versions 
are definitely superior to the theatrical releases.

  Toochis,
   
  I was waiting for someone to ask. I had a great time on Movie Poster Bid 
  while the Special Event Auctions were closing this weekend. Turns out a 
  last-minute technical glitch kept the sniper program from being available, so 
  you had to bid at the last second the old-fashioned way and I enjoyed the 
  excitement of zipping around from auction to auction, trying to slip in that 
  last-second bid and snatch a nice item. And I managed to snag quite a few 
  quality sci-fi posters at good prices. But nobody was really stealing 
  anything, as there was a real fury of bidding all day on Sunday, and from what 
  Rich tells me, MPB realized about $30,000 in sales over the weekend! That's 
  easily the best single day... or week... or month... that MPB has ever 
  had. It's a testament to Rich's determination to bring the site up 
  to the next level. He's done a great job in just 5 months, to stage 
  an auction of this quality and pull in $30,000 worth of sales.
   
  The final sales figure could have been maybe $20,000 higher, except for 
  there were a fair amount of items with reserves... not my favorite thing... 
  but those with reasonable reserves actually had them met and even bid up from 
  there. But some of those hidden reserves looked to me... based on the bids I 
  saw and reserves still not being met... well, some reserves seemed 
  quite a bit too high. I think doing that is self-defeating for sellers 
  and only serves to frustrate bidders when they bid a nice item up to a 
  very reasonable price and the page is still saying "reserve not met."
   
  Once again I want to point out the obvious to the sellers who have read 
  this far: If you are going to set your reserve to high-retail, you shouldn't 
  even bother putting the item up for auction! Just leave it in your store or on 
  your website with the retail price tacked on for all of us to see. Don't put 
  it up for a so-called "auction" that isn't really an auction (because 
  you're not going to take less than high-retail for it, no matter how many bids 
  it gets). When you do this, you make us play this stupid guessing game which 
  no one wins because most people are NOT... repeat NOT going to pay high-retail 
  for most items at most auctions. What's the point? For all but the rarest 
  items, if you want to pay high-retail you don't have to screw around with 
  bidding on a auction -- you just go to someone's website or eBay store and pay 
  the retail price for the damn thing.
   
  So, in line with this subject thread, I do wish some sellers 
  would STOP playing these frustrating high-hidden-reserve mind games with 
  the bidders. The purpose of a reserve is to protect yourself in a reasonable 
  fashion against having to sell something at a giveaway price -- it is not 
  meant to guarantee you a high-retail price at auction. They're called 
  auctions, you know, not retail sales events. If you don't want to hold out the 
  possibility to the bidders of getting something at a genuine buy or 
  at least low-retail price, then don't call it an auction...  just 
  put the item up on your site with a For Sale sign on it -- and the 
  price clearly marked -- and stop wasting our time.
   
  Whoopee... I can say stuff like that now that I'm not running MPB 
  anymore! C'mon, you sellers, keep on paying your rising eBay fees if you 
  insist, but commit at least some of your time and inventory to MPB and stop 
  screwin' around! Those sellers who did it right this weekend at MPB are 
  dividing up the 30 grand in sales among themselves even as you read this. You 
  could have been one of them.

Re: [MOPO] Nicks, chips and paper loss - A question.

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Just my personal take on descriptions:
I'd place a"nick" at 1/8" or less and not 
necessarily mean that it was including paper loss.
A "small" border tear means that there's no paper 
loss and the tear does not intrude into the image area of the poster. Any paper 
loss would be indicated. If  a poster has  a wide white border, and 
has tear/tears over an inch, I'd probably be inclined to give  a better 
idea of size of tear/s.
 
Paper loss means missing paper, whether coursed 
through fold separations (i.e. not a clean split, but actually missing image or 
white border paper loss) or tears. Anything bigger than that comes more under 
the term "papr out" or "paper missing".
 
Of course the more detail one gives often gives a 
misleading idea of the overall condition of a poster making it sound far, far 
worse than itactually is. We routinely receive feedback that says, "far better 
condition than described". Maybve we'd sell more if we were less pedantic about 
describing condition issues. Even big digital images "lie" as to seeing what's 
what with a poster, and while it takes longer, we prefer a verbal description. 
If we say Near Mint-Mint (our top rating, rarely given) it means that there's 
nothing discernible. Of course when one is wading through several hundred items 
a week and not using a batallion of "buddy graders" to do the work, itis 
possible that through eyestrain one misses something.
 
But we  also live in the age of "condition 
freak" where 50, 60, 70 year old posters are supposed to still look perfect. And 
if they don't, through the fact that they were used for the purpose for which 
they were designed, and were never intended for public collectability, they 
can have a facelift through linen backing and cosmetic enhancement so they LOOK 
perfect. It has to look "perfect" because we live in an age of "perfection". One 
only has to look at the degree that many films are "cleaned up" to for DVD 
release, but where the "clean-up" has actually removed detail through removal of 
grain texture from the film as it was shot. It's like the hard, cold sound that 
so many CDs have when conpared to the "warmth" of the original analog vinyl 
versions.
 
There are some collectors who cannot stand the 
sight of a single fold line, completely forgetting that this is EXACTLY how 
movie posters were made to be seen when created for the use for which they were 
created.
 
Condition is sometimes (often?) in the eye of the 
beholder. And that eye can be determined whether it's someone trying to sell it 
or someone trying to find reasons to get a price down.
 
All sorts of stuff.

  Subject: [MOPO] Nicks, chips and paper 
  loss - A question.
  
  I was just wondering how others employ terms 
  describing areas of paper loss on poster borders.
   
  I generally use the term "nick" for anything 
  under, say, a quarter-inch at its widest end, usually triangular or V-shaped. 
  I use the term "paper loss" for anything larger than that and/or of a 
  different shape (half-moon or some such, most often).
   
  I've never used the word "chip," though I've seen 
  many other vendors do so (auction houses in particular), and often for quite 
  large and significant areas of paper loss, like missing corners. "Chip" would 
  seem to imply a smaller, less significant area of paper loss to 
  me.
   
  I'm wondering whether other sellers and 
  collectors have specific criteria for how they use or read these terms. Sorry 
  if this seems like a pedantic question, but any opinions would be 
  welcome.
   
  Thanks,
  Dave

Re: [MOPO] How new pictures can ruin the old picture in your mind

[Phil Edwards Cinema Arts]

Rich - what's wrong with her?

She's a 71 year old woman who is happy to be and look like a 71 year old 
woman
rather than surgically make herself look like a parody of herself at a 
younger age.


Don't forget to post a picture of yourself when you're 71, will you...

Did she somehow ruin this story in the newspaper or ruin this case

old age?


Gee, anybody past 40 years old and who has any wrinkles needs to stay 
out of the public eye now, because you might ruin it for the rest of 
us gorgeous, young folks.

Is it my computer, the lighting, or are all the many white spots on 
the poster restoration ???
 
i just emailed the Canadian seller the following question,   "please 
tell me what all the white spots on the poster are.  is that 
restoration, paint, or what?  THANK YOU."  
 
Although i collect hitchcock, i would only buy the one sheet if it was 
at a bargain price, since i own the insert and have it framed.   
(((this falls in line with the subject that I posted yesterday about 
ebay sale days)))
 
Your thoughts?
